I'm really tired of Bill. I think we're supposed to be hoping for him to mend his ways and get back on the right path, but I'm just not invested in him anymore. It's been a while since he was an interesting good guy, and he's not all that interesting as a bad guy. He's just a tool.

I do like that the old Lafayette is back, the entrepreneur... so far he's made $400 off of 2 fake readings that turned out to be real. Love the reference to Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost, especially since he was running around just like her two minutes later, telling all the voices to simmer down...lol.

I predict that Russell (now THERE is an interesting bad guy) will be the one to bust Eric out of his current predicament, though it may be indirect and inadvertent. We've gotten a few cues that Russell is just playing along with all the Lilith worship and not giving full respect to Salome (Steve leading the prayer before the meal while Russell looks on like a proud and indulgent parent and Salome looks annoyed: perfect!), but now he's even teaching his renegade style of vampire leadership to boy-toy Steve Newlin, right down to feeding his werewolf army ("Awww! You got me a puppy!"). When it suits his purposes, Russell is going to put an end to this whole Lilith Fair thing, and Eric gets a way out of his predicament.

Or not. Who can predict anything with this stupid show anymore.... maybe a hundred strip-teasing fairies will appear, each bearing a name with some derivative of "Claude", do a magical square dance in a room full of man-pigs, and everything will suddenly make sense.

I'm not holding my breath.

Lilith Fair. LOL.

I couldn't pay much attention. I was cleaning and packing. But the new vampire sheriff coming into Fangtasia got my attention. That could be interesting. He looks very heavy metal. I hope he's an interesting character. We could use one.

I found myself stopping whenever I heard Andy's voice. I really like that actor. And Lafayette, of course.

Adding -- OMG the whole tossing them to the pigs thing was so fake and not gross or intense. The show CAN do gross and intense, but the pig thing did not work. I guess we were supposed to recall Hannibal or something. Didn't work.

That cracked me up. The interactions between Tara and Pam are great. You get to almost thinking that they might actually care about each other (and you would think they would given the mother-daughter status and what we have seen previously between Godric and his youngsters).

Yeah but why does he look so much like Cris Angel the mind freak or The Crow?

The pig thing could actually work in real life although they did it very poorly here. If you've ever fed pigs you know to stand on the other side of the fence and never spill their feed on yourself because a hungry pig will f@#$ you up. A herd of wild boar is worse. In any case what a stupid way to tie up that storyline. No explanation of mystery up to the dragon. Who the heck was that woman anyway? Someone Jason knew from the past but I didn't really see the relevance.

At least they ended the smoke monster storyline in a somewhat logical manner

The woman who's the dragon is/was Bud's mistress; the one Jason knew from the past (she was his teacher) was Bud's wife, who apparently was away on a casino cruise or something.

For the first time since I started watching I'm rather bored with this season.

I will say that Tara as a vampire is pretty interesting and her dynamic with her maker makes the show worth watching.

The rest of it has me fast forwarding to find something of real interest this season.

Just my take on this season.....

Just thinking that the only two fat women in the series are the Dragon and Hoyt's mother. Not just unlikeable but presented as repulsive. Tsk.

None of the women in the show is really doing it for me right now except for Pam. I take that back. The witch who dates Andy, the one who is a waitress, is kinda cute. And Jessica can be gorgeous.

But the ones whose beauty is supposed to knock our socks off -- Luna, Salome, Nora, and Lilith -- not feeling it. Salome is especially disappointing. All that skin showing, and I am not hot for her. I think the character is just not interesting enough.

Thank heavens for Pam.
