Once the True Blood season finale airs Sunday, September 13th we’ll finally know what the Bon Temps gang (Eric, Bill, Sookie, Jason, and Andy) plan to do with Maryann Forrester. Will they kill her?
Will they make her think Dionysus has come and therefore prompt her to “surrender herself” to him, making herself vulnerable to attack?
Or will she simply give up and go away in search of another town to torment?
Will Eggs survive? I personally don’t think he will but I could be wrong.
Will someone other than Maryann be killed?
What’s the cliffhanger for the season?
All of these questions will be answered in a few days and I’m sure Alan Ball will do a bang up job including lots of surprises for us. However, I’m more concerned about what will happen AFTER True Blood ends for the season.
WHAT . . . WILL . . . WE . . . DO?
Do you plan to read the books? Purchase the True Blood Season 1 DVD? Buy some TruBlood?
Well, I’ve already taken steps so my separation anxiety attacks won’t be so painful. Tonight I tuned in to The Vampire Diaries. Yes, there’s a new sheriff in town and it’s geared toward the young adult crowd. Tonight was the first episode in which we meet the three stars: Elena, popular high school senior; Stefan, the tall and dark new stranger in town; and Damon, Stefan’s evil and ruthless older brother. All three stars did a great job making their roles believable and I can’t wait to learn more about them.
You can tune in to The Vampire Diaries each Thursday night at 8:00pm EST. The Vampire Diaries TV Show website has more thoroughly reviewed tonight’s episode. You might want to check them out after each show to get their take on what happens!
In True Blood Episode 9 titled “Plaisir D’Amour” (which stands for The Joys of Love) Sookie identifies the vampire that’s been stealing from Eric, a friend of mine for many years. The vampire in question, Long Shadow, attacks Sookie to silence her. Long Shadow is not a vampire that I’m familiar with but I do know he’s been working as Eric’s bartender for a few years at Fangtasia. The fact that he attacked Sookie in front of Bill shows his ignorance of the power of a’mour. However, Bill will have to pay a huge price for staking him in order to save a human.
Jason and that horrible human Amy Burley have captured Eddie. Yes, I have my eye on Amy Burley. She’s done this before and was unfortunately never properly dealt with. I predict an early “retirement” for that one. Fortunately Jason shows Eddie some compassion.
Tara decides to visit Miss Jeanette, the witch doctor responsible for “curing” her mother of her alcoholism. I could have taken care of that problem for her. After one hour with me her mother would never again crave alcohol. Of course she’d simply be trading one vice for another. However, type O doesn’t cost any money and it’s readily available.
Sookie takes in a stray dog who I believe is actually Sam Merlotte. I love shape shifters. They’re usually good natured and most of them understand their pecking order place beneath us, superior beings.
Enough for now. My thirst calls me. We’ll chat again soon.
In Episode 7, Burning House of Love, Sookie proudly spills her guts on her relationship with Bill. Unfortunately, not everyone believes vampires and humans should mix so her announcement isn’t met with much support.
Malcolm and his vampire gang visit Merlotte’s to get a snack; Sam Merlotte attempts to defend his customers but is clearly no match for a vampire. Lucky for him, Bill arrives in the nick of time and lures the vamps away from the bar. This surprises Sookie at first but she eventually realizes that Bill played along with the vampires in order to get them away from Merlotte’s and thus avoid bloodshed.
Meanwhile, Jason, our lovable bed hopper, is so addicted to “V” that he travels alone to Fangtasia, the vampire bar run by Eric Northman, intent on obtaining vampire blood at the source. While trying to explain his needs to the vampire bartender (who’s getting impatient with him), he’s approached by a mysterious young woman who tells him “I’ve got what you need.” Her name is Amy Burley and she’s the newest character to join the True Blood cast. I’m not sure about Amy’s agenda, but I think there’s more to her than meets the eye.
Tara takes her mother to a voodoo priestess to have the demon removed from her body. Although Tara remains skeptical through most of the ritual, some weird, unexplainable things occur during the excorcism. If Tara’s mother stops abusing alcohol I believe Tara may visit the voodoo priestess herself.
The “AIDS burger” hoodlums witness the scene at Merlotte’s with Malcolm and later decide to take matters into their hands in order to get the vampires out of town. The episode ends with Sookie worrying over whether Bill was with Malcolm and his thugs when things got hot.
