True Blood 3x03 "It Hurts Me Too" Spoilers
- Thread starter OmahaStar
- Start date
Sort of moved things along but no real bright spots. Is offing Lorena going to be a theme for the end of every episode?
It needs to be. We don't like Lorena.
There were a few funny bits in here, all of them massively homoerotic (Eric and LaFayette, Sam and his brother, even Jason and the classroom), with a little drama.
Eventually, Tara is really going to go insane. Every season, somebody fucks with her head, whether it's Miss Jeanette in season one, or Mary Anne in season two, or this new vamp in season three, somebody is putting things in her head that don't belong there, and at some point, she's gonna crack. That, or she's going to start channeling Xena.
I'm wondering where the Sam's family plotline is headed. Hopefully it involves him, his brother, and a stripper pole. But that's just me.

That would be good. Work in Eric and Jason and you have a winner.
Bill sure knows how to turn a girl's head...
Okay, that last scene was fucked up. Like seriously fucked up.
That last sex scene was sick. If they wanted to communicate that Bill is highly agitated and disturbed, it worked. Gross out. The loss of his family has weighed deeply and cut him to the psychological bone. So--the daughter survived. Whose great great grandmother is she? The Mickens? The Bellfleurs.....the Thorntons? Must be someone. Considering the dreams Sam's been having, it would be just like Raelle Tucker and company to have it be him. One of Bill's descendants could have had an affair with a shifter around the turn of the century or so. Actually, I kind of like the idea of Bill and Sam having that connection. His own family sucks eggs. That little brother of his who led him in front of the car needs to die. What's his problem? He's afraid Sam's going to steal the affection of his trashy parents?
So, Franklin the predator stole the body from Jessica and he was the one rummaging around in Bill's dresser drawers finding all the paperwork on Sookie and her forebears, circling her name and her father's name, Earl Stackhouse. Was Bill sent to seduce Sookie in the first place? That line of Bill's to Eric in episode 11 season one suddenly stands out to me.
Sookie must be protected!....That sound like an edict, but it couldn't be, because I'd know about it.....
Did Sophie Anne want info on Sookie? I can't imagine that will sit well with Sookie when she inevitably finds out. I can't wait for this season to unfold. Just exactly what is Eric's deal with the werewolves?

How does the vampire invitation thing work in True Blood? I take it they are more than duty-bound but actually cannot enter because of supernatural reasons. It just seems like the mesmerize to get an invite shouldn't work though it's an interesting solution to the problem.
I have to admit that struck me, too. Franklin glamored Tara into letting him in. If that works, why doesn't every vampire do it? Seems like a plot hole.
The house has to be owned and occupied by a living person. For example, Sookie lives in her house. Though Bill and Jessica share a house, no one who is actually alive lives there.
A vampire can go into any non-living's house (this is a throwaway plot point in one of the books - a discussion about this subject. When the only person in a house dies, their house is no longer protected, the second they die. A vampire can immediately enter, until another living owner takes residence there), but must be invited in by someone who lives there.
Tara, now that she's living at Sookie's, can invite someone in. LaFayette, if he's there just visiting, cannot.
Glamours can work to get someone inside. We saw it happen twice in this episode (with Bill's wife, and with Tara), but in the modern era where True Blood is set, vampires don't necessarily *need* humans to feed upon, now that they're out. Before, they were always in hiding.
But glamouring doesn't work on everyone, even on all "pure" humans.

Yeah, the Bill/Lorena sex scene started out sexy but ended on a disturbing, hauntingly tragic note with Bill tormented by the endless anguish Lorena continues to have the power to put him through.
I think he still has love for Sookie and that is the reason why he gave into the King's demands. But to keep the King away from Sookie, Bill may be forced to do some terrible things that will add to his personal turmoil like giving someone over to the King and Lorena to feed on and possibly kill in the process. The more I think about it, the more I see Bill as a tragic Shakespearan hero.
What do you guys think of Franklin and Tara?

Yeah, Sam's dad is the scariest thing on the show.
This show is all kinds of fucked up.
