    Ok, still hate the "actress" playing the Queen. She's terrible.

    LOVED Bill and Sam. I see a lot of potential there. :drool:

    Tara's mother has got to go.

    I thought Hoyt was hot before, but he's gotten way better. Speaking of, listening to the actor who plays Jason, before the show ... rawr. Nice Aussie accent.

    :lol: I thought you might like the Bill/Sam scene! The slash fic writers will have a 'Ball' with Sam's dreams!

    Eric having chained up sex with his dancer, then casually introducing her to Sookie :guffaw:

    Hmmm what do werewolves want with Bill?

    A good start to the season :techman:

    I liked it better on a second viewing. Still seemed some what disjointed but I am used to that now. I liked how the minisodes worked into the story.

    1 - Let's not even go there.

    2 - HBO hunted down those people who shared the original pilot (different actress playing Tara, appearances of other characters who haven't quite been introduced even now) and prosecuted them. This is not the BBC. HBO is serious about protecting their property. Even discussing it's a bad idea.

    Sadly, I don't pay for HBO. Hell, I don't even pay for cable. So I'll be waiting to watch season 3 via "alternative" means.

    I loved the Bill & Sam scene & how weirdly it played out, haha.

    so are the werewolves gonna be all drooling thugs on this show? Im getting an Underworld's lycans vibe from the guys who kidnapped Bill. If that's the case, Id rather them had been man/wolf hybrids(like in Underworld) then actual wolves. Mostly b/c I think wolves are such beautiful and majestic creatures that it seems jarring to me to go from some some dumb lunk to a sleek primal predator.

    Fear not. This was but their introduction, in wolfy form.

    We haven't said much that's too spoilery, except the homoerotic dream sequence and the ending.

    I'll be seeing this next spring or whenever season 3 is on dvd, since I no longer get HBO.

    This was my first episode of True Blood. I haven't had HBO in years, but finally re-subscribed a few months ago. It was...interesting, to say the least. :lol: I'll probably check it out again next week, just for the heck of it.

    Very Important Question: When does Anna Paquin get nekkid? :shifty:

    Even as a straight guy, I thought the Bill/Sam scene was awesome. Jason with the girls was funny, especially when he told them what he saw.


    Outstanding episode IMO, kicked off S3 on a high note and a great welcome back after so many months away.

    Oh, and I don't know much about Tara or what her deal is, but I'm already annoyed by her and her storyline.

    hmm u should probably catch up on the other 2 seasons. Tara just lost Eggs. She's overreacting a bit much. She tends to do that.

    Yeah, if I like it enough I'll probably catch up on the first two seasons later. I kinda like going in blind, it's sort of amusing. :lol:

    You really need to start from the pilot, that way you see how awesome Tara is and you'll understand her a lot better.
