1. True Blood Round Table: "Save Yourself"

   8/28/2012 3:38 PM
   
   i can't believe i have to wait 9 months ! it's not pregnancy for God's sake !!
   
   Grade: After watching the bonus scene, i give it a grade " A ". before watching it, i thought it deserved " B ". The scene left us with more teasers and was the only one related to the story of Warlo. Nora knowing Warlo means Eric knows him as well, and logically many other vampires. So now we know that many are involved in the Warlo story: Nora, Eric (maybe also the Authority - or what was known as- ) , many other vampires (Bill unlikely for his youth - if he's still considered a vampire for that matter), fairies and Sookie/Jason. Three sides that are never okay with each other... in the same plot, while it was only obvious in the past episodes that only fairies are involved.
   
   This combined with the final scene really makes it easy for me to say it's an A. I am looking forward to two major plots: that of Warlo and that of Bill, two plots I can't imagine but intertwining in the most interesting ways that True Blood has been famous for.

   Favorite scene: had to be Russel dying. Clearly, the writers were fed up with his former invincibility and the very brief time it took for them to take him down really shows how insignificant he has become. I wanted him dead, in Season 3 but better late than never
   
   Andy's kids: there should be some correlation with the Merlotte's menu seeing as they were delivered in the corresponding delivery boxes and covered with the costume lol
   
   Tara and Pam: I always foresaw it and actually mentioned it once in the forum here. It was just evident for me and I was neutral because it was bound to happen .
   
   Bill drinking the blood: Actually, i was too naive and I believed he was really into Salome and wanted to praise her as the chosen one. For me, he was letting go of his mission and the divine order for her sake, and this is consistent for me because I thought he was really into her. It's very intriguing when he reappears, but good lord ! i can't believe i have to wait 9 months ! it's not pregnancy for God's sake !!

The scene left us with more teasers and was the only one related to the story of Warlo. Nora knowing Warlo means Eric knows him as well, and logically many other vampires. This should be interesting for Sookie and Jason. This combined with the final scene really makes it easy for me to say it's an A.

3. True Blood Season 5 Finale: Sneak Peeks

   Tara's line " You owe Pam " is hilarious. she keeps reminding Sookie of what she has done to her. how does Sookie know that Nora is Eric's sister ? did i miss something from the previous episodes? they never met, Sookie and Nora, did they ?

   @blueirisheis
   that's an interesting observation ! if you're implying that Warlo is actually sacred among the fairy community, i think you are mistaken otherwise Claudine wouldn't have " flashed " him. The structure of the club could be just an insinuation of safety from vampires.
   
   @Chris,
   
   I'd really like to know your feedback about my idea concerning Warlo. do you agree that he could be the one who kills Russel because Sookie was meant to be his , and as we know from this status, we know that a vampire would not let any other vampire get near their human right ? I really tend to believe that Warlo is a good guy !! lol

5. True Blood Season Finale Photos: Saving Themselves...

   8/23/2012 5:37 AM
   
   At least we can tell that Sookie managed to leave the fairy house, changed her clothes and did her hair. that's good news i am assuming, and i tend to believe that none of the other fairies have been killed - at least not until the scenes revealed by the pictures.
   
   The blood on Eric is definitely not human blood. There are scattered spots on his cheek, which means that he staked a vampire, and not killed a human ( it's known that a vampire blood is scattered randomly and not just in one location when they meet the true death due).
   
   I can't say anything about Bill's picture. I tend to think that Eric kills Salome to save Bill and this is implied by the vampire blood on his cheek. In case Russel is dead, it's definitely NOT by Eric nor Bill. I really tend to think it's Warlow because " Sookie is his " and would not let Russel do anything to her.

6. True Blood Round Table: "Sunset"

   8/21/2012 6:03 PM
   
   Based on that, " She is mine " definitely means that Warlow not even hurt Sookie and could actually protect her ( I am almost certain and convinced of that )...against who, though ? maybe Russel, as speculated by the trailer
   
   6. I have a feeling the grandmother and Luna would die. Emma might even die, but definitely not Sam. Nigel will be killed by Luna or the grandmother. Russel and Nora will die as well, but I think Salome will stay alive...however, whomever survives in the finale may not survive in the premier of the upcoming season. We might have hints about who could die, and the opposite turns out to be true when the next season starts.

7. True Blood Round Table: "Sunset"

   8/21/2012 5:31 PM
   
   3. Most definitely Pam. Her quotes are better and more sarcastic because they address others and not only revolve around her self-admiration.
   
   4. Alcide's scene was not hot in particular, but if i had to compare it to Nora and Eric's scene, I would choose Alcide, only because the making up part was more of a romantic and Godric induced triumph over the authority and Nora's deviation.
   
   5. I don't think Warlow is anybody we know, and I think he will still be there in season 6. I have some ideas about him:
   first, he may not be a bad guy after all. he only sought Sookie because she was promised to him. " You are mine " is a famous vampire line used by every single vampire who has his own human as a companion and not who kills humans. We have many examples of vampire-human couples based on this line. Sookie and Bill, then Sookie and Eric, then both of these couples; the queen and Hadley, and so on... Based on that, " She is mine " definitely means that Warlow not even hurt Sookie and could actually protect her ( I am almost certain and convinced of that )...against who, though ? maybe Russel, as speculated by the trailer
   
   6. I have a feeling the grandmother and Luna would die. Emma might even die, but definitely not Sam. Nigel will be killed by Luna or the grandmother.

   1. my favorite scene was the fight Alcide and his father had with the vampires and particularly the reaction of one of them when he knew they could die easily. His line was so funny, and Alcide's reaction even funnier. I guess his ignorance about vampires' vulnerability really shows how the recent procreation as enforced by the authority was pretty random, impetuous and badly executed - politically, otherwise the makers would have informed their baby vampires that they being shot with wooden arrows will kill them. That's bad start for the authority's project, and it reveals how the word of God/Lilith has counter-effects.
   
   2. i am completely with the elder fairy's appearance and death. it first shows how powerful Russel is. I can't complain about him killing her, it actually makes sense to me. he is also quite old, which really makes the fact that she is an elder pale in comparison.

9. Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Promo: The World Will Know ...

   8/20/2012 4:04 PM
   
   they already aired one promo a while back. this is getting redundant. however, are Richard's lines towards the end of the clip new or old ? i am guessing they're new...and they foreshadow expected - by the viewers- incidents of death and tragic news for the doctors in the hospital.
   
   " the world will know ? " seriously, the world ? as in, everybody? well, i don't really think the whole world even cares about what happened. why not " you will know " , where " you " refers to fans only ? :D
   
   anyway, grey's anatomy finales have always been shocking and traumatic - for the characters more than the viewers because we actually got used to the element of surprise. This is the only way the show could go on, for the characters' evolution is only based on how they evolve during the PTSDz...and Rhimes has intelligently crafted this evolution.

    From trailer six, it looks like many characters including Tara, Pam, Eric, Jessica and Jason will be in the headquarters together. I hope Eric and Tara will learn from Jason that Sookie is in danger. I am being optimistic here, but I have a feeling they (Eric and Tara ) will both try to save her.

11. True Blood Review: Suck Me Beautiful

    8/20/2012 3:53 PM
    
    @fudgefase, yeah i am guessing Andy will receive the baby at his doorstep especially that Maurella would be joining the others fairies to fight Russel ( and other vampires to come, I guess - i am assuming others will team up with him ). The baby would be delivered, for Maurella wouldn't want to risk its life.
    
    Otherwise, Tara and Pam's relationship is obviously taking another level, one that would be fulfilled and manifested in the finale after what I think will be Tara's successful attempt to save her maker.
    
    I never really liked Bill...at all. Starting with Season 01, I didn't care about him. He could have died for that matter, multiple times, and I still won't care if Salome kills him when drugged with the blood of Lilith against him. I guess the writers wouldn't let that happen, but I really hope at least main character dies, from both the good and the bad sides. I hope it will be Bill and Russel, but I am betting more on the latter.
    
    From the trailer, it looks like almost everybody would find each other in the Authority headquarters. Hopefully then, Tara and Eric will learn that Sookie is in danger..i am being optimistic here, but I have a feeling they will be saving her.

    @Chris
    
    I don't think Warlow is Bill. Bill hasn't been made vampire until 1865. Bill's interest in Sookie was only based , preliminarily, on Sophie Ann's orders. One never knows, however.
    
    It's nicely done, when it comes to the plot, to merge Andy (along with Holly ) with the Fairy plot through Maurella. I think this merge will become more obvious next week.
    
    I have to agree. Steve is going down for sure, but I am really tired of Russel on the loose, or in the ground for that matter. They should seriously put an end to him.
    
    Eric and Nora's calling out for help won't be greeted with support, as far as I can tell. They could be bluffing, so they government might think. This could put them in danger, and I am almost sure that it will get Nora killed.

13. True Blood Round Table: "Gone, Gone, Gone"

    8/16/2012 4:40 AM
    
    forgive me for peppering the forum with spontaneous statements, but I'd like to briefly state my opinion about the Tara- Pam relationship.
    
    I am not really convinced that it's just a mother-daughter relationship. Prospectively, I have a feeling that this will turn into a sexual and romantic relationship. Tara and Pam have both had their lesbian experiences, and Pam herself was known to have had a romantic and sexual involvement with her own maker. This is backed up by what I perceive as exchange of looks of sexual nature beyond the " I'm proud of you, daughter" nature.

    although Maurella should be old enough to know about this, for she's almost 500 years ( she was around during the contract and i can't imagine such deals being done without the fairy community - or secretively some members at least - agreeing upon it ).

    @Chris O'Hara
    
    thanks ! well i tried merging the words " Reverend " and " Vampire " but could not come up with nomenclatures that were easy on the ear :)
    
    i share the same feeling. I am assuming Luna or the grandmother will die trying to save Emma, but I also have my money on Steve ! it's just a feeling that one of these two females will just go nuts all over him.
    
    on another note, all fairies seem to know who Warlow is, which confirms that Claudine used to know him/it as well. Seeing as giving Sookie was a contract between her ancestor and Warlow, shouldn't all the fairies respect the contract of their elder and not try to stop Warlow ( the same way Claudine did ) ? or were they clueless about the contract in the first place ?
    
    it looks like they were, for nobody every warned Sookie about it... i am giving them the benefit of the doubt here. This all depends on any upcoming encounter with older fairies (maybe Queen Mab from the first episode of season 4?) although Maurella should be old enough to know about this, for she's almost 500 years ( she was around during the contract and i can't imagine such deals being done without the fairy community - or secretively some members at least - agreeing upon it ).

    8/14/2012 7:00 PM
    
    My favorite scene would definitely be Tara staking the Sheriff. It really shows that Tara as a human is still there, for she was still against the idea of feeding on people and procreating even as vampire. Secondly, her decision to fight back indicates she's holding on to something, as opposed to the human Tara who was mostly desperate and hopeless. Thirdly, Ginger's reaction is so funny although it is predictable. She's been glamoured so many times, and as Pam brilliantly puts it : there's hardly anything left to glamour.
    
    Hoyt leaving is among the good things that took place, although I still find it weird that everybody among the staff has avoided killing off recurrent characters from the very first season. I am hoping the next two episodes will change that, and I have a logical feeling they will do so.
    
    Steve and Russel...mmm..that's a tough one. I would impetuously go for Reverington

17. True Blood Review: The First Cut Is the Deepest

    8/13/2012 7:19 PM
    
    As soon as Russell talked about seeking the sun ( during his very predictable outrage ) , Bill and Eric exchanged looks that were clearly reflective of their fear towards Sookie's safety.
    
    This fear is further shown as one that is not random, as far as the trailer shows Russell intimidating Sookie using Jason, and herself talking to the fairies about being fed up with running away ( which refers to Russell, as far as i can tell ).
    
    Sookie is again the trigger. Whether bill and eric are really falling for this "bloody" Lilith drug or not, Sookie's safety will always either sober them up or expose their acting before the authority ).
    
    in general, i am really looking forward to the last two episodes. as i was speculating from the very beginning, the different stories within this season will meet under one plot...highlighting a very plausible and bloody battle between everybody: human, werewolf, vampire, shape- shifters. Who's fighting who becomes confusing..as it is in our real world.
    
    So i really salute the makers, for True Blood is indeed the best representation of the world as we know it.

19. True Blood Spoilers: A New Sheriff in Town

    7/31/2012 5:14 PM
    
    The new sheriff is definitely working for the Authority and I am assuming that the new mandate is for Pam and Tara to stop serving True Blood ( that is assuming there would still be some True Blood left after attacking the factories ) and instead use humans as blood supplies for vampires in Fangtasia.
    
    Steve's pet is probably a human that he owns.
    
    If Eric plotted his escape, does this mean he had already given up on Nora? I think it does, seeing as she made it clear she is hopeless, unless she is a very good actress (within the series of course lol ). We may count on Bill, if that, to rescue her later on although I don't understand the fuss about her character whatsoever.

    continued ) could be Claudine's ultimate end.
    
    Two things I am certain of :
    
    1) they're not the biological parents. We know from Bill in Season 3 that fairies are rapists...this could manifest itself in very interesting ways.
    
    2) it's Sookie's blood for sure, and nobody else's.
    
    and I am reluctant to assure myself that Claudine ( or the fairies anyway )is behind killing the parents, but knowing that she called him by his name in a parental way or in a way with which someone calls their untrained dog makes me 99 % sure that she is behind it.
    
    i hope you guys can further contribute to this. and if am misinformed and/or clueless about some things I am missing ( I could be ), please let me know :)
    
    cheers !!

21. True Blood Review: Sam I Am

    7/31/2012 4:57 PM
    
    @TiffanyO
    
    I am becoming more and more certain that the parents are not fairies, and I am sure that it's not about Jason seeing as Claudine screamed - in reference to Sookie: leave the GIRL alone. I think the show will have its own plot for Jason in terms of him being promoted or something like that. It definitely has to do with Andy's fate in the show, and I am beginning to feel that Andy's expression of hating this town could imply a potential retirement...and I am being optimistic here.
    
    Had the parents been fairies or even half fairy such as Sookie, the "vampire" would have devoured them to the last drop ( at least one of them, that is). It is quite an interesting analogy we could draw here: the fairies have their own puppets such as these half vampires on one hand, and the authority has its own puppets such as werewolves. Keeping Sookie safe and making sure she is "harvested" within a pure fairy context for the sake of having the upper hand of the battle against the vampires could be Claudine's purpose.
    
    Again, I am just speculating. But I am more and more convinced that Claudine wanted Sookie's ( now certainly not biological) parents dead. Fairies are rapists, as far as we know from Bill in Season 3...meh...
    
    i hope more people contribute to this :)
    
    cheers

22. True Blood Review: Sam I Am

    7/30/2012 5:18 PM
    
    1. The way Claudine was calling Waldow indicates not only that she knows him. When she says " Leave The Girl Alone", it makes me assume that she was behind the murder of her parents and wanted Sookie for some other plans.
    
    2. I need help with something. None of Sookie's parents is a fairy, for the so-called "vampire" would have been drawn to the blood of the supposedly fairy parent instead and not just a small stain of Sookie's blood.
    
    3. Doesn't this mean that one of them is not a biological parent ?
    
    4. As I write, I become more convinced that the first scene of Season 4 is relevant to Warlow's character. His looks remind me of the many abnormally looking fairies we saw in the opening of last season after having been struck with Sookie's TRUE fairy light.
    
    I need feedback on this, guys, please ! I am only speculating and could be wrong and/or misinformed :)

23. True Blood Review: Love Me, Hate Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

    7/23/2012 10:06 AM
    
    Well I am positive that this episode makes way for many upcoming exhaustive and fully inclusive battles in True Blood, many of which have been already signified by :
    
    1) That special Faerie protective club
    
    2) Anti-Mainstreaming
    
    3) The words of J.D in this episode
    
    4) The return of Edgington as part of Lilith's plan
    
    5) The Obama-mask group that is killing everything that is not-human
    
    for that, I am looking forward to watching some very interesting episodes that would eventually achieve what everybody wants : all characters reunited under one plot and story. I am positive we will end up seeing a massive battle that involves almost everybody, thus hopefully not letting me or any other viewer down.
    
    It's already known that the finale will be a massive bloodbath , according to Jessica's true persona, and I am more than sure that this bloodbath will be - accordingly- including all our characters at once.
    
    So be patient ! the stories are well constructed and the consistency will be quite surprising at the end !
