I agree completely Diva! I worked on my email half the time!

The best part of the show was Pam's hair! It looked great crimped, though it was kind of 1980's.

I really can't even begin to list all that was wrong with the hour but I will try: Terry and the Smoke Monster? OMG, lifted straight from Lost. How about some originality?!

Bill and Eric chowing down on humans now?

Lafayette and the what is he again? A witch?

Lilith arising from blood. At least she had pubic hair, that was fitting to the time period she was created.

Oh, I must stop now. Bad show. Shame on the writers,

This is how I see it-or won't be seeing it, is more accurate.

I looked at one Television Without Pity Forum to see if I was missing anything.

Apparently, many people found the drunk vamps funny. Also, it was apparently funny to see Sam rolling around on the floor sniffing. The only part of that that I thought was funny was when the female cop is looking at him like he's crazy and asks him if there's anything she should know. He looks at her, pauses, then says, "No."

Many remarked that the Arlene/Terry wedding video was a nice moment. I agree.

A lot of them liked Lettie Mae, Terra's mom, getting put in her place, but I thought it was forced.

I also thought the makeup of Lafayette's lips was fake looking, distractingly so.

Much appreciation for Alcide's chest. Hear, hear.

They also speculated that Bud -- the former Sheriff -- is actually the Dragon, the leader of the hate group. Else why bring him back. I hope he's not. He was always so sane.

They also said that Lilith was a hallucination. I didn't get that. Maybe that was why it looked so cheesy.

Several people said Martha is the only interesting character now. She's the wolf matriarch. I have to say she does have some great lines and an interesting face.

OH, someone mentioned that the casting and the clothes for the family party -- where they end up being slaughtered -- was just perfect. It did get my attention.

Anyway, FYI. I haven't been to that site in years. I used to go there all the time when Alias was on. There is always some interesting hating going on.

That reminds me -- the character they are all hating on right now is Nora, Eric's sister. Here's a quote: "If Nora chants and prays to Lilith one more time, I'm gonna reach into my TV and stake her myself."

Agreed. on both counts

Yeah, there was some foreshadowing there. That's a good theory.

OMG, yes, please! She is so irritating!

Also, can I kill Hoyt? I thought he was sweet maybe 2 seasons ago... Now he is just pathetic.

Godric. His name is Godric... but WTF with him anyway? Is he like a Buddist vampire ghost? Vampires are not supposed to have souls, how can you be a ghost without a soul? Jeeze....... Lame lame lame

Smoke monsters..... Lame lame lame

The fairy bar.......... Lame lame lame

They've not explained Lillith or her tie to vampires. None of the known legends about Lillith have anything at all to do with vampires.

I do like Martha's character and the puppy is a cute touch.

I'm with y'all about everything y'all have said. I did like Pam's hair.....alot. And how she tries to be supportive. Then gets all pretend tough. So hot.

All the rest of it is pretty much stupid as hell.

I doubt that I will follow the television show past this season. The books are still good and I'll keep reading them. Maybe the producers neededtohave read the books too.

I liked the irony of the usually-aloof vampires walking down Bourbon Street all drunk and gawking and rowdy as so many humans are on Bourbon Street. That whole Lilith blood party scene reminded me of my acid trip days (well, minus all the blood and killing). I guess that's why I assumed both Lilith and Godric were hallucinations.

Godric has appeared to Eric at least one other time since his "final death." He seems to represent Eric's higher self or superego, appearing each time to nudge Eric back on the right path. I'm a huge fan of the show Dexter- Godric's appearance reminds me of Dexter's dad, who has the same narrative purpose.

They do very briefly explain Lilith, but if I weren't a Neil Gaiman fan, I would be SO lost (Gaiman devoted an entire issue to the myth of Lilith, and how she became the mother of demons/vampires). I think the vampire role playing game Vampire: The Masquerade also uses the Lilith-as-vampire-mother mythology, though Cain is named as the first vampire. This is all recent stuff, though-not in the vampire legends, as Wolfsong said. It's pretty fascinating to me how the vampire legends themselves evolve. I actually like the Lilith subplot.

I also like Martha's character- she's becoming more complex, more...dare I say, human. Less smoke monsters, more Were dynamics. I'm tolerating the fairies because they're investing so much time into that subplot that it must be going somewhere, right? But I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed.
