Interesting episode. I will be sad if this is it for Roman though they have had him pontificating too much. I am a six on the Kinsey Scale, but that shot of Alcide's chest as he was zipping up his jeans . . . good heavens.

It was basically a boring episode, every plotline getting pushed forward a little. Jessica's reaction to Hoyt's desperation was priceless. And Lafayette's face as he interacts with his mom. . . .

Wolfsong · 07-16-2012, 04:17 AM

Roman is toast....... maybe. What an awesome way to end the episode!! 18th century Austrian hemophiliac blood that “cost a f---ng f---load of money.” Lol

Booya for Russell, whom I both love and detest. His character has been amusing and entertaining since the very beginning.

Terry, Patrick, and the Ifrit = This week's Just Shut Up Award.

Poor Alcide........lol Eric is such an ass

Jessica's reaction was perfect. His behavior is a huge turnoff for me at even at a lesser degree.

Lafayette and his mom added some amusement for me to a storyline that was stale before it got started. This, along with Hoyt, Terry, and the fairies should be shit-canned by the Lilith-leprechan that Russel was talking about.

*Anya* · 07-16-2012, 09:05 PM

Still fast-forwarding through 1/3rd or more.

I loved past seasons and have read all of the books.

Can not engage in this season at all. I even forgot it was on yesterday for the 1st time ever.

Now Breaking Bad, that is another story! Still outstanding but that is another thread...

thedivahrrrself · 07-16-2012, 11:33 PM

Alexander Skarsgaard kinda turns me on. Bio guys do not have this effect on me.

He is just so damn PRETTY!

On another subject...
I haven't read everything on this thread, but am I the only one who loves Tara being a vampire? Totally suits her badass attitude.

And I wish Terry would figure out that a witch could help him with his curse. Duh. Seriously tired of the Ifrit already. The graphics aren't even impressive.

Anya,, I read the books too. SO glad the show is not following them, though there are a few characters I'd like to see. I think we may meet one of them soon, though...

Claude? But we met him, so you must mean someone else.

Anyway, speaking of Claude, who wants to see Eric and Claude get it on?

*raises hand*

No, I'm thinking we might meet Quinn soon, with the pack master thing coming up.

I didn't read the books but my wife was steady, "Wait, THAT wasn't in the book" for awhile then changed it to "They stopped following the books a long time ago so I don't know what's going on."

I thought they abandoned the werepanther storyline with Jason too quickly as it was interesting enough and part of the book.

I think because they are in LA voodoo does have a part in the storyline but I wish they would be more realistic in it's portrayal. Voodoo is far more mysterious and threatening when it is a hint of evil rather than some idiot in a badly painted mask jumping out at someone.

thedivahrrrself · 07-22-2012, 10:11 PM

I think they officially lost me tonight....

WTF?

Martina · 07-22-2012, 11:09 PM

Well, I was pleased that they followed a couple of the story lines for a while compared to last week when each seemed to get equal time.

The whole Lilith thing seems cheesy so far, like an episode of Angel or Charmed. We'll see.

There wasn't the humor I am used to. I agree, not a great episode.

Oh yes.........smacks of Buffy & Angel. You know this show is really starting to suck (no pun intended). At least there was an expectation for Buffy to be campy. Bring on Boardwalk Empire!!

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.

dixie · 07-23-2012, 08:20 AM

I was confused...even more confused after seeing next week's preview.

scootebaby · 07-23-2012, 08:27 AM

Totally digging Tara as a vamp!

like Pam with her crimped hair

Terry and the Ifrit line NEEDS to end!!

will tune in every week tho bc i cant help myself!

Martina · 07-23-2012, 08:57 AM

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."

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.

i thought the same thing when Eric's maker(his name escapes me now) appeared and as he was talking, Eric looked towards Nora and he didnt see Lilith even tho Nora was looking at her

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.

pajama · 07-23-2012, 05:13 PM

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.

*Anya* · 07-23-2012, 07:40 PM

Oh, the second best thing besides Pam's crimped hair was the line that Bud, the retired sheriff said to Andy, when he asked Andy if he was finished.

It was something to the effect that he had to get back to the hot tub because he had some "male enhancement ointment".

That made me laugh out loud.

Martina, great tip about Television without Pity! I had never heard of it before but since my pity for True Blood is in very short supply these days, I better check it out.

Oh Scoote, very funny about Godric being a Buddist ghost!

I think we have our own TV without pity thread going on right up in here!

The JD · 07-23-2012, 08:32 PM

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.
