Yowza. This episode began and ended with Russell Edgington losing his SHIT. His southern gentleman decorum has slowly been cracking as the season has unfolded, and now he's really gone off the campy deep end. I didn't like the closing scene much; I thought it was too over the top, even for True Blood.I am looking forward to the Eric/Edgington showdown, which I can only hope that Jason will somehow be involved in, because he's on a roll. We all knew that Tara's bludgeoning didn't actually kill Franklin, but Jason's wooden bullet sure did! Poor Tara. It's good to see her getting help. There's obviously something creepy about Holly -- let's just hope she's not a maenad. Also, computers exist in Bon Temps? When she pulled that laptop onto the table, I gasped at the sight. Do they know how to Google there?
I was bored with Sookie and Bill this episode -- I don't really care if he steals her light, or whatever. I was much more interested in Eric and Pam, and how Eric told "the authority" everything. And it was touching that Pam was so concerned for Eric. Also, I am really rooting for Jessica and Hoyt. I think the whole accidental trucker murder is kind of a weak device to keep them apart. The best couple action this episode, though, was by far Lafayette and Jesus. They are adorable, and I can't wait to see what kind of crazy Jesus turns out to be.
Oh right, Sam snapped, too. He's been repressing his frustration for far too long. Sorry, meth lab dad. I have gone so far as to fast forward through the Sam scenes this season because it's so boring. I am not invested in him or his family -- though maybe now that his story is overlapping with Jason's (who has finally found someone as stupid as he is) both plot lines will be worth watching. It's hard to compete with the vampire action this season.
After the last episode that was so good, overall this one felt slow and didn't move much forward, aside from the last 5 minutes. Only 3 episodes left in the season!
