True Blood 4x06 - "I Wish I was the Moon" (spoilers)
- Thread starter OmahaStar
- Start date
Sam Trammell is the best actor on this show. Bar none. I dismiss any discussion to the contrary. He's better than Moyer or Skaarsgard whom, although I find him entertaining, I consider to be an overrated actor. I can see why Trammell was nominated for a Tony. His theatre work is supposed to be quite excellent.
Tommy.....why why why???? I was loving you when you fired Sookie. Why can't Sam have a brother who loves him? Bromance--Raelle Tucker. You wrote it magnificently on Supernatural. Where did it go tonight? What gives? Did Alan Ball put the kibosh on it? I don't see how Sam can forgive....well, you all know what he won't be able to forgive. Raelle, you authored this script. It was--however--the best script of the season in terms of flow and comic elements. It flowed very, very well. Poor Hoyt. Jason and Jessica are luminous together.
Debbie and Alcide are DEAD WEIGHT. Get rid of them. Sookie, you are too stupid to live and so is that vampire Luis who walked right into it. Was sex with Eric fun amongst the mosquitoes? Emo Eric is pissing me off because I know it isn't real. He'll revert. He's also pissing me off because he's a great big pussy and Bill needs to have his ass kicked. He's so damn smug now. Yes, he let Eric go so to speak, no true death, yada yada yada all for Sookie. Except that Eric is a murdering so and so just like any other vampire. That isn't erased simply because Eric has no memory. He's still Eric underneath.
Arlene, Arlene, Arlene. It's the doll, honey. At least she loves the baby and doesn't want him to die. Perhaps he can play with Marnie.
Terry getting his pet armadillo was cute. 
Great continuity, too.
Great episode. It broke my heart because I still like Tommy even though he's a damaged little shit, but it was a great episode.

I think someone was very passionate about last night's episode. I enjoyed it as well, though perhaps not as much.
So far this season is shaping up better than last year. The witches/necromancers are better antagonists than the werewolves turned out to be.
I'm not much of a fan of nice guy Eric. He's too much of a pansy, though he did put Bill down pretty easy. Liking Pam's asides though, and her relationship with Eric remains well handled.
I too liked when Tommy-Sam fired Sookie, as well as his berating her, asking questions that some in the audience-like me-have had for a long time. Winced though when he slept with Sam's girl and then dimissed her like that.
With Tara, I am glad that her girlfriend is deciding to stick it out with her. Tara does need someone. The Lafayette storyline is progressing, but I wonder what possessed him at the end? Was it Jesus's granddad? One thing that diminishes the witch story is that modern witches have to be possessed. I think it would work better if they themselves could just wield that power. Though I did enjoy the Spanish Inquisition flashback.
The Jessica-Jason scene was well done, and we all know where it's headed. Glad that Andy might be getting some play in the near future. With Alcide, it just seems he's taking up space. He's a decent actor and his character is intriguing, but the writers don't seem to know what else to do with him. And making him Sookie's third suitor is stretching things a bit much. I think he should perhaps just be a recurring character, someone very much in the background who swoops in after Eric reverts and breaks Sookie's heart. So we can have the Sookie-Alcide show in Season 5.
Overall, a solid episode. Whenever I think I'm backing out of this series, they rope me back in.

Jason's hillbilly werepanther storyline pays off yet again in the best scenes of the episode. But Tommy asking what was so special about Sookie did run a close second. Sam's girlfriend should have seen that there was something wrong and left concerned instead of flouncing off.
Lafayette and his boyfriend have abandoned witches who are kicking vampire ass for another witch who hasn't kicked vampire ass but has a history of abusing boyfriend. It is not a given that old fashioned granddad is cool with his grandson's boyfriend, by the way. This whole storyline is really stupid and highlights what a mean, stupid little shit Lafayette really is. Tara's personality transplant isn't thriving.
Granny Stackhouse was way too mealymouthed about Eric. Personally I'm a little peeved at the old fool because I'm about to start rooting for the witches. Especially since they aren't really doing anything (it's them dern spirits!)

In the books, after "his" book (which became season 3), he basically has cameos after that. Pops in, says his few lines, then pops back out again, not to be seen again til the next book. So when they announced that he was going to be a series regular for this season, I went "huh?" ... That's probably why Debbie Pelt is still alive, because it gives him something they can throw in there for a "plot." Though at this point, it's a rather boring plot.
Tommy is an obnoxious little shit ... but dang it if he isn't adorakable at the same time. It's it about time for Sam to start "punishing" him already?
Poor Pam. She truly loves Eric, and it's just bitten her in the ass. I hope they fix this mess and she's back to normal Pam soon.
Though, who knows? That's one thing the Claudine thing showed us - no one (except, perhaps, for Sookie) is safe in this series.
You know, I have to ask... what is this "temple of jane" tag that all TB threads have? 
OmahaStar, I know that's you. EXPLAIN!

Every thread I start has that tag. It's a reference to the goddess of Babylon 5, Jane.
Of course, someone keeps coming along and removing them later ... but they always start with her tag. Non-believers. Tut tut.
Great episode. Agree that Alcide is wasted space at this point. The Jason/Jessica flirting was cute, but I hate where it's leading.
While I really enjoy the witches storyline, I wish there was more focus on it.. There are so many other storylines (albeit probably connected), it's too scattered.
Great use of the fabulous Neko Case.. Love that song of hers.

I am more confused than ever.
Yes, but I must not have paid enough attention because I don't know of any "Jane" on B5.

Yes, you do.
I loved last night's episode!
I'm loving the Jason/Jessica thing! Poor Hoyt, though.
The Alcide story is progressing too slowly to be interesting. I hope it picks up.
So Tommy is a little shithead, huh! I wonder how come he got so sick at the end. Shifting into Sam didn't seem to make him barf..but shifting back did...hmm
I love King Bill. He's actually sexy this season, whereas in other seasons he kinda creeped me out, tbh.
Eric is adorable. The Sookie/Eric sex scene was much more "lovemaking" than Sookie and Bill ever had, in my opinion. That was interesting. And the ground in Louisiana looks really comfy!

Yes, you do.
Aha.
So what does this have to do with True Blood?
Aha.
Everything eventually circles back to Jane. That's the law.
Is Skaarsgard overrated? I mean, he's obviously been the worst actor on the show all along. You mean someone has actually held him up as a quality actor? Hard to believe, but I guess I've never seen him anything else.
He was painfully lifeless in his portrayal even before Eric lost all his memories. Maybe his problem is he conflated "undead role" with "lifeless role." On the bright side if JJ Abrams ever reboots TNG he could always play Data.
A very tall Viking-esque looking android.
Oh, the women at TWOP think Skaarsgard is brilliant.
