A good episode this week of “True Blood” with some interesting back stories going on for sure.

Debbie seems to still love Alcide, though she has an odd way of showing it, and boy does she sleep around! However it sounded like she did what she did to save him. Why? I guess I’m lost here, and I didn’t ask my book friend to explain (assuming this is following the books). I guess for once I’ll have to be patient. Alcide and Sookie did learn from the Alpha Pack Master who Russell was though. I was kinda shocked that Alcide didn’t know honestly. Is vampire royalty a secret?

I am not liking this story with Tara and Franklin much. He’s nutso! I also didn’t like that she asked Bill for help and he said no. I get that he’s probably trying to keep his cover, but when Sookie finds out . . . she might not be so forgiving. Just more of Bill looking bad to Sookie. With Eric showing up at the King’s house, Bill’s cover is blown it seems anyways.

I thought the story mixing Eric’s background (the death of his family) with Russell’s and the wolves was pretty neat. I do understand this was not from the books, but something added in. I liked it though. It makes me want to know more about Russell and what he’s after. Was he just a greedy SOB wanting the crown, or is there something more? Clearly Sookie seems to play into his current plans though, and I really think he wants her because the Queen wanted her.

I loved the end of the show when Bill came to warn her, only he was too late. Russell, Coot and other minions arrived . . . . but Sookie wasn’t the weak thing they thought. Her magic powers came back and Coot flew across the room when he tried to grab her. It was pretty awesome. I know what her powers are, and I hear she finds out too by the end of this season.

My interest was at least somewhat peaked about Tommy and Sam’s family this week due to Sam’s father’s bizarre interest in Tommy. What’s going on? Is he using Tommy to commit crimes? Or is some kind of bizarre sexual abuse going on? I couldn’t figure it out. I also liked the possible relationship between Tommy and Jessica.

Jason was as hysterical as ever, chasing after Crystal and acting like an officer while wearing skin tight and wet khakis. I loved Crystal! “Where is your gun? Where is your badge? Where is your shirt!” Then of course Jason was great “Did you not see the official police car from which I came out of?” I’m going to like these two together I think. It’s about time we get the fun Jason back.

So there were a lot of good lines. I really loved Arlene telling Jessica the reason she won’t look her in the eyes is because she doesn’t want to be hypnotized, which is what vampires seem to like to do. Then Jessica glamouring the customers not to tip the waitress was great.

However I think the line of the week has to go to a filthy one. It wasn’t clever or funny by itself. What made it so great was the actor’s delivery. I cracked up when Coot told Bill that his hot piece of southern ass was #%$^#$%^ a werewolf . . . . . Ohhhhhh suck that !@$$!$ Even when I watched the rerun of the show, that was still my favorite part because the delivering of it was just so funny.
