The third season of True Blood is off to an amazing start. Last night’s episode followed Bill in his continued effort to escape his kidnappers, while Lafayette takes a suicidal Tara to visit his own mother in an institution. Also, Jessica attempts to dispose of the dead body she still has hidden in the floor, and Eric talks vampires and Nazis with Sookie.
Other highlights:
- Blood bisque and blood gelato served by the Vampire King of Mississippi.
- The flashback to World War II with Eric and Godric posing as SS members.
- The revelation that Sam’s brother is also a shapeshifter.
- Sookie’s impression of Bill: “I keep expecting him to come through the door and say, SOOKEH.”
- Eric, at seeing Sookie cry, saying:”Please don’t do that. It makes me feel disturbingly human.”
- Bill throwing a lit candle at Lorena (Um, where the hell did she come from?)
- “Mr. Northman, will you PLEASE come in?” Enough said.
- Snoop Dogg’s “Oh Sookie” music video. He’s so fucking serious, it’s amazing.
And some pressing questions for next week:
- Who (or what) moved the body Jessica had in the cellar?
- What’s the deal with Franklin Mott (the newest vampire to come to Bon Temps who helps Tara beat up on some bad dude)? Is he good, bad, or good at being bad?
- Will Sam be able to trust his biological parents? What about his shapeshifter brother?
- Will Sookie take up Eric on having some “primal, passionate sex’? I will if she doesn’t.
- Is Bill ever making it back to Bon Temps? More importantly, will anyone care?
