Black people on True Blood just don’t get to have nice things. Laffy doesn’t get to keep his boyfriend. Tara doesn’t get to keep her boyfriend, her girlfriend, or her MMA career. They both start asserting themselves only to get in a tight spot from which only Sookie can save them.

Awesome Pam and Jessica need to have their own spin-off show. I’m thinking a road trip series that’s a cross between On the Road with Austin and Santino, The Fugitive, and Gilmore Girls.

I’m a little in love with Terry Bellefleur. And John is a little in love with redheads wearing corsets, wielding bazookas.

I have so many problems right now. Leading my problems is the usual: Sookie, being a selfish dick, showing absolutely no gratitude for Alcide plucking her from the battle. There’s also the problem of Tara needing to be rescued by her white friend (which will likely lead to an apology on Tara’s part at the [...]

Alan Ball, you’re relying way too much on rape to develop your characters. Seriously, dude. There’s a lot of rape in your show. It’s gross. Please stop.

Beyond Eric’s hiphuggers, his storyline is the only one I’m interested in this week. Not even so much because I care about what’s happening to him. Wide-eyed, puppy dog Eric is just fun to watch. He’s a thousand year old Viking and he’s giggling at having his feet tickled. Cute.

I’ve been trying to figure out just what the hell my problem is with True Blood lately, other than Eric looking like he’s suffering some wasting away syndrome and Sookie’s general unpleasantness. And it all came down to balance. I’m really wondering about the normie to paranormie ratio in the Sookie-verse. There are probably more [...]

Why does everyone insist on treating Awesome Pam like crap? Don’t they know she’s awesome? Listen up, Alan Ball. Awesome Pam needs her own storyline. She’s not just Eric’s appendage. I’m happy to trade a character for her. Take Sam out of the picture. Or maybe Arlene. Whoever, just give me more Awesome Pam. Awesome Pam and Cersei Lannister should have their own cross-over spinoff mini-series. It could be called “Sneers”.

Sookie is finally acting the way I’ve wanted her to since the beginning. She’s telling off vampires, schooling Bill in the fact that he doesn’t own her, generally dropping the damsel act. Look at her with carrying on with Russell, all spunky-like!

I feel like there would have been more tension at the end of this episode if I didn’t know True Blood had already been renewed for a fourth season. Remember when we didn’t know? And how tense that was? I’m wondering if one of the things that made some older season finales so great was that we didn’t know if it was actually coming back. Here, we know. True Blood will be back next summer, which means that Sookie will live, along with either Bill Compton or Eric Northman or both. Russell will most likely die the true death to make room for a new Big Bad (based on novel #4, I’m guessing it will be a coven of V-drinking witches), which is unfortunate. I already love Russell.

Why do I get so bored when the cast of True Blood spends the entire episode talking? Is it because they’re trash?

Oh, god, the crying was so bad in this ep. I was moving along OK until that scene in the police department with that terrible actress “crying” her eyes out. There were no tears there, people. No tears. Her entire role was to sit there and cry – how did the True Blood crew manage to find an actress who can’t effing cry?

They killed my Cooter!” I want that for my ringtone. I’ll cut it with Nina Garcia’s disdainful, weekly recitation of “It’s not sophisticated” on Project Runway. Most awesome ringtone ever.

Sometimes I want to smack the hell out of people for the relationship decisions they make. Today, I’d like to smack Alcide for fawning all over Debbie. I’d also like to smack him for putting on pants.

Welcome back, Tara. We’ve missed you and your alert, quick witted, ass kicking ways. I can’t tell you how pleased I am that you didn’t get on the same crazy train as numerous other women in genre television. In fact, I’ve been inspired to write a haiku for you.

While watching “Trouble”, John commented that he’d like to see a True Blood spin off called Everybody Loves Franklin, which would be a half hour sitcom following his wacky antics and vampire adventures.We’ll add Everybody Loves Franklin to the running list of TB spin offs we’d like to see.

As much as I enjoy manly men doing manly things, I’m getting a bit weary of the damsels in distress on True Blood.
