Is There Anything Other Than True Blood to Talk About?

I guess I could talk about Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes’ date on Saturday, but I find it bizarre and boring at the same time. Or I could talk about Ryan Alexander Jenkins, but that story is gross and upsetting. So, I’m gonna follow the trend and talk about how much I loved last night’s episode of True Blood.

I hated Jason last season. He annoyed me with his ridiculous sex addict ways and his stupid abuse of V. And his gullible nature didn’t serve him well at the beginning of this season, either, as he was drawn into the Fellowship of the Sun. But he has made up for it all in these past couple episodes. Last night, he stole the show with his Ash-esque chainsaw wielding and gas mask god.

I loved Bill trying to bite Maryann and getting sick. I loved Lafayette and his dismissal of the poorly planned intervention. I loved Sookie’s Eric dream–this one fooled me at first. I loved the scene at the queen’s lair.

Really, the only thing I didn’t like about the episode was seeing the closing credits start at 6:46 rather than the usual 6:51-6:56.

What about you? What worked? What didn’t work? If you’re not a True Blood viewer, what did you watch last night?
