"Let me walk the world with you, Mr Northman"
What? You mean some of the storylines this week actually had a thematic link? And Terry and Andy were only in it for 5 minutes? You're kidding!
This week on True Blood...
Tara wants to eat people now. But it's okay, because she roped Sam into one of the main storylines. Causing Sookie to actually go to work. Amazing.
I really do miss Sookie and Sam together.
Sookie fairy flashbombed Pam and it was admittedly awesome.
Mac is playing a vampire tech nerd. Oh my God. It's like the fandom collison I never knew I wanted.
Mac: Do yourselves a favour and don't fuck around, okay? You guys are too cute to be goo.
Eric: *totally dry* Thanks
The Pam flashbacks are making the episodes for me. They're not just filler, they're actually revealing new, interesting backstory. Like Bill and Lorena were killing Pam's girls back when she was a human madam? And Pam forced Eric to turn her?! It wasn't his choice?! That changes their entire dynamic! What an interesting direction to take them in. Pam as a character has always had an edge of desperation about her, with and without Eric, so you know what, this isn't entirely unexpected information. I can buy it. I also appreciate that they're making her more sympathetic this season. Watching her struggle to embrace her role as Tara's maker could be really excellent character development for her. (Not to mention, this gives Eric and Tara a connection I demand they explore. I know they won't, but some proper scenes between them would be nice.)
I must say Eric and Pam are giving me very confusing feelings all of a sudden. Often, I feel like Pam is a little bit in love with him, and a lot of this episode reinforced that for me.
Pam: An honourable vampire. Now isn't that a contradiction?
Eric: No more than an intelligent whore. Yet here we are.
Oh my. They are an attractive couple, aren't they? Also height appropriate. Someone's going to write fanfiction about this, right?
Meanwhile, back in the Ministry of Magic the Authority HQ, Salome is gettin' bus-ay seducing Eric and Bill and I kind of love her accent. Are we getting the feeling that she herself is a Sanguinista?
I appreciate that they at least acknowledged that Eric is still hurt over Sookie.
Salome: You're cold. It's because you've been hurt. The wound is still fresh.
Eric: I heal quickly.
I expect to see this followed up on when Sookie teams up with them in coming episodes.
Nora... Oh my God I love Nora.
I can't lie... I am introducing this to my vocabulary... somehow.
Jason and Jessica are still completely adorable. I'm happy for them to shift into the friendszone as long as they keep having scenes together.
And Newlin as the new Nan Flanagan is of course excellent.
Did I miss anything?
