True Blood: Walking Into The Sun
Just some really quick thoughts on the latest “True Blood” episode, as I’m currently out of town till Thursday. . . .
I was so glad that Sam and Luna put two and two together and came up with four, not three or something else. I.E. I’m glad they figured out Tommy skinwalked as Sam. Sam kicked his little brother to the curb, and Tommy started hitting himself saying “Stupid stupid!” I’m afraid whatever he does next will indeed be something stupid!
Jesus’ grandfather admitted to him and Lafayette that he did what he did to prove to Lafayette the magic was within him, that he was a medium. I’m not really sure what the point was, why he cares? But later Lafayette did see the ghost lady haunting Arlene and her baby. It would seem that the ghost woman thinks Arlene’s baby is HER baby, which I’m guessing what the writing on the wall “Not Your Baby” was really about. It wasn’t about Renee as they thought.
Alcide and Debbie joined their new pack, but Debbie still remains jealous of Sookie and Alcide’s feelings for her. Zzzzz, do we really have to watch her go nuts again? Why Alcide got back with her I don’t know.
Tara and her girlfriend narrowly escaped Pam, who spent some of this episode trying to have all the rot outside ripped off to slow the decay. Probably the most nasty scene on this whole show to date! Even worse than Russel playing in guts last season. I was sad Tara sent her girlfriend away. She’s just damn unlucky in love!
Marnie, who is now fully possessed by Antonia, escaped and with Tara and Holly’s help put the circle together, but not before sending Luis to try and kill Bill and tell him of her plans to make all vampires meet the sun. Bill instructed everyone to chain themselves with silver before dawn to keep the spell from taking hold.
Near the end, Marnie cast the spell . . . . and the vampires headed for the sun, or tried to. Jessica broke free and made it to the door, as Jason was racing to try and save her . . . . . We know they aren’t going to kill Jessica off, not with this romance they’re hinting at with her and Jason.
Sookie seemed to take a back seat in this episode. All she and Eric did was *bleep* the first half of the episode, and then she tried keeping him in silver the second half. Bleh, Sookie and Eric are actually starting to bore me. Actually I think it’s just Eric. His memory loss has made him not only a goodie two-shoes, but way to accommodating. He’s lost his spunk, his bad boy edge. All he wants to do is please Sookie, make her happy. Boring!
I thought it was hilarious when Hoyt’s mother’s hausfrau vampire neighbour lady walked out into the sun and burst into flames – “I KNEW it!”.
I also laughed when Ginger (or whatever her name is) threw herself on top of Pam’s casket. Not sure if she was freaked out or enjoying herself. I liked seeing the same doctor from season 2 working on Pam. Poor Pam, 6 needles 4 times a day…
Boy, did Lafayette and Jesus ever make it back from Mexico quickly. I’m not that familiar with that part of the world, but it doesn’t look like a quick drive on the map. For a minute, when I saw Lafayette in the kitchen at Merlotte’s I thought Tommy had turned into him next, until I saw the ghost lady singing a French lullaby.
I wonder if Jason’s extreme stress over Jessica’s sunlight predicament will cause him to turn into a werepanther so he can fight off the guard and save her (still don’t want the show to go that route, but wouldn’t be surprised if it does).
So even if Bill et al. survive the sunwalking, they still have big problems to face regarding Antonia. Gotta say, the actress (Fiona Shaw) is doing a great job. I hardly even think of Aunt Petunia anymore when I watch the show.

Louisiana is a few hours from Texas, which depending where in Texas your coming from is a few hours from Mexico. So you could make it in a day.
I really like Marnie too. I have been told in the books she’s way younger and very beautiful, but I like her!
