I felt like this one single episode tied all of the other episodes from this season together. In my least favorite story line (Terry's) I just don't like Patrick. And this could be nothing, but when Eller was telling the story of the fire he saw, I could have sworn he said "Marcus and Luna were in the back room, and took off running"...anyone else catch that?
Speaking of Luna - do you think she is really dead? I really wanted her and Sam to make up.
Tara and Jessica - very touching that Jessica connected with Tara, albeit briefly. (Tara makes a WAY better vamp than she did human). Didn't like the Jessica/Tara/Hoyt thing though. Hoyt is just pathetic.
Lafayette - W T H??? Lafayette's mom knew what Jesus was saying but Lafayette didn't? What is UP there, what is going on??? I think it's going to end up being Lafayette that makes the ifrit go away...but that's just a guess.
Sookie and the Boys - BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! FINALLY - Sookie gets to do her thing - but Alcide doesn't. :( Too bad she was too sick to truly enjoy the irony of having Bill, Eric, and Alcide all in her bedroom at the same time. LOVED the "Must be a Thursday!" comment, AND the "Everyone knows that splitting up just gets you killed...besides, I have to pee" comment - LMAO. Russell, Russell, Russell. Will be interesting for sure.
So. Do you think that was Norah digging him up? Or...just a guess...Salome?
And, what's going to happen with Jason and Jessica if Jason goes off on the vampires for killing his parents? (which, btw, I thought were the fairies which makes me wonder if the fairies planted Hadley to lie to Jason about who killed their parents).
Okay that's all that is still buzzing around in my head since Sunday. (Sorry, that was a LOT - I've been holding it in all week!)
I nthe books it was the fairies that kilkled Sookie's and Jason's parents. I did like the "must be Thursday" comment too as well as the creepy parking lot scene. I really hope Luna and Sam are alive. That shooting seemed so random.
Kafayette-His mom is a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket so maybe she was crazy enough to understand it.
OMG indeed this episode was full of them, every time something would happen I'd be like no that did not just happen. I'm a little upset Sookie threw up on Alcide right when they were getting to the good stuff geez lol. I did not catch Marcus and Luna running I'll have to go back and watch and look for it. I'm not digging the Hoyt love triangle maybe they'll fight over him and he'll get killed, I know that's mean but his character is so depressing right now. Sam looked like he wasn't shot too bad, Luna on the other hand wasn't looking so good. I don't think its Nora I just think they want us to think its her. Exciting and I can't wait for next weeks.

AHHHH KIMBERLY!! SO much to think about, and it is ALMOST SUNDAY AGAIN!! lol
I think the person who dug up Russell was Salome. She seems like she is playing just about everyone.(Roman, Nora and our 2 boys)I just can't tell who she is working for, and what she is going to get out of all of it.
I went on True Blood news, and you all were right, that guy was CLAUDE! I can't believe I didn't remember reading this before. (check out the casting calls beflow:
http://www.trueblood-news.com/season-...)
I just had such a vivid idea of who Claude and Claudine were in the books, so this new True Blood version of Claude is def. peaking my interest.
****I do not think Sam or Luna is dead. OMG, what would Luna's daughter do? Would Sam raise her??
I love Tara and Jessica being all buddy-buddy and then girl fighting the crap out of eachother. Super Classic.
I think I kind of like Tara as a vampire. I mean, I hated her human (LOL) so this can only be an improvement. Besides, I love her interacting with Pam.
FINALLY- SOOKIE makes an appearance in episode 5. She had been so weird in the first 4 episodes, and all of sudden, she is the Sookie of old. **I agree, I would have liked to see MORE ALCIDE, but WE all knew that was going to happen. (something was going to stop that hot make out session)
I do not know where they are going with Hadley telling Jason that vamps kills his parents. In the books the Fairy's did...So I am not sure if this is just another TB twist, or maybe Hadley was deceiving him somehow.
Hadley in the book was kind of dark and interesting. *Hadley in the show is just an awkward bird, lol
And oh, Elizabeth- also not digging the Hoyt love triangle. He can take his little goth self somewhere else, I am tired of him brooding around.
I think Sam would raise Emma if it came to that.
I too think sam would end up rasing emma, if alcide didn't take her under his wing as a wolf-cub. I also think Sam survived but not sure if Luna did or not, hope she does for emma's sake, but have a feeling she didn't. this whole episode was crazy with the vampire stuff and I think that russell was saved by the sanguinista member of the council, not nora but the other one..i think her and nora are working together. I'm not digging the hoyt jessica tara triangle either.. he's just lame..
i think lafeyette will be able to help terry and his buddy once they come back to town... although it is funny his mom could understand Jesus and he couldn'.. although I do wonder where his body went..
Yea, actually the dismembered head, with stiching on the lips really creeped me the hell out... I miss Jesus, as a regular character on the show :(
I was wondering why his lips were stitched up.
I think the lips were stiched up because the evilness that is inside of Lafayette or possibly Jesus's families evilness isn't letting Jesus help Lafayette deal with the evil. Did that make sense? :)
My in-eloquent summary of last Sunday's episode was:
"O.M.G.!"
