I really like the way they have done Lafayette. At first I was sad when he lost his "pizzaz" but understood that it was in character after the
experience he had in Eric's basement. But now that he has to sell V again and needs to be his 'old' self again, I thought they did a really good
job of him still showing signs of depression but still trying to be the Lafayette from season 1 at the same time. I think the actor did a great job.

If you remember when Eggs & Tara first came up on the orgy/ritual, neither one of them were affected at first and they were just standing there, mouths agape in shock. I think MaryAnn has to possess them or direct her influence at them to be affected. When Andy came up on the orgy/ritual, MaryAnn was busy preparing to sacrifice Sam and she had no idea Andy rolled up. Then Andy shot his pistol, alarming MaryAnn, which allowed Sam to escape and MaryAnn immediately went after Sam. Freaking amazing episode, though. Love the thread title and how true, this shit IS going faster than fritters at a fat farm. Looks like all hell is going to break loose at the FOTS lock-in next week. I cannot wait. In the meantime, I will be rewatching this ep over and over. The thought of scenes with Godric and Eric together next week . . . . . . . . . . Bitch Daphne deserved to be killed, but WTF at MaryAnn using possessed Eggs to do her dirty work?? That was cold. I wonder how Eggs will react when he finds out what MaryAnn is and that his frequent "blackouts" had nothing to do with her joints? Hoyt & Jessica deflowering each other <3<3<3<3 |

I do not know how to spoiler alert, so I will not attempt. But, I know in the book there is an explanation as to why Godric is at the church. It is not a clear
cut case of him being kidnapped. (He is mighty cute!)
I do not think that Andy is a "supe" of any kind. But, again there is something in the book that explains the Belfours (sp?) connection to a certain someone in town who is "special" and I wonder if there is some sort of protective energy around him. I know it is grasping, but it just seems to me that someone as sad and lonely as Andy would be a prime target of Maryanne and her wicked ways. I think that Arlene's comment to Sam when she mentioned he looked like he saw a ghost was more directed to her and Tara. Perhaps it is burned into his brain that he saw all of them going at it in a field when his attmepted murder was about to take place and no one seems to remember anything. Loved seeing Eric show emotion about Godric. And Eric moving at lightning speed is so damn hot. Lafayette is back with all his razzle dazzle and hopefully he is a lot wiser and protects himself against vampire repercussions. I really do not like Bill or Sookie. I know the books are based on her and he is a key player, but I think the past few shows would have gone off just as well without them. (Exception would be Ragtime singing and piano playing Bill- I liked it a lot) Not sad at all that Daphne died. (maybe, fingers crossed) Barry was adorable. Please do not hurt him Lorena. I cannot imagine Bill pulled him in since Bill is incapable of opening a door let alone abducting someone. I love, love, love Hoyt and Jessica. They are so fantastic. |

Recap from HitFix (spoilers if you haven't seen it yet):
[Sunday (August 2) night's "True Blood"] Oh yay. Sam is busting loose from his bindings at the hands of Mary-Ann. The whole party of naked people just got really mad. Wow, did you know Sam could turn into an owl and escape any situation? Neither did we, but now Mary-Ann is totally pissed. And LeFleur has a gun. He witnesses the orgy going on and totally freaks out. Sookie is in a chicken-wire prison down under the chapel at Sunshine Jesus Camp, and her fake husband is losing it, man! Sookie knows someone narced on their undercover mission but doesn't know who. But never mind that. They must escape! And rescue that ancient magic Indian vampire boy! Oh no. Vampire Bill can't leave his room in the Hemophiliac Hilton because his maker lady has a stiletto heel balancing on his chest. Bill tries glaring and growling, but all that does is spur another flashback. This one's in the 1930s, and Maker Lady has procured another blond human girl for her and Bill to rip apart. Bill growls something about "no more," and even though the blond smells like apricots he lets her leave. Then Vampire Bill and his Maker Lady have a fight. Vampire Bill doesn't like having blood-soaked sex with Maker Lady anymore. "You have lost your humanity and you have stolen mah mind," Vampire Bill speechifies. Maker Lady responds that one day, Vampire Bill will lose his conscience. That sure would make him interesting, at least. Then she tries to keep him awake for a whole day. That makes vampires bleed, you know. It's night. Eric and Spanish Vampire Lady have dropped in on the Sunshine Jesus Camp Campus. Why bother with Undercover Sookie in the first place if you're just gonna walk in and stand around that very same night? It's just nobody knows. Jason Stackhouse has just had heaven-shakin' sex with Sarah in a house of God. Sarah then cries because she is so happy and says she loves Jason and feels way close to the Lord. She also has her Ring of Truth on, so she announces she shall tell her husband, Steve, that she and Jason have Known each other. Jason persuades Sarah to put off her, um, revelation, until after the vampire-frying ceremony the next night. Hoyt and Jessica are kissin' on each other at the Hemophiliac Hilton when he reveals he ain't never done it afore. Good thing, because neither has Jessica. Ain't that so sweet? Then they spoon. Stan Stan the Vampire Marlboro Man is here at the vampire hotel. Eric accuses Stan of fomenting a vampire-human war and then making a power grab. Eric glares much better than Vampire Bill. Morning, Tara! How was the orgy? What do you mean you can't remember? That orgy was CRAZY! She and Eggs suspect it may be the Mary-Ann's marijuana. The two of them talk and grow closer. Sam is on the run after escaping his role as human sacrifice at the orgy! Run, Sam run! Grab that gun! Sam tracks down Daphne and accuses her of whorin' for Mary Ann. But Daphne isn't scared of dyin' and tells Sam he is insignificant compared with Mary Ann. "She's God, Dumb Dumb," Mary Ann tells Sam. Steve comes down to the Sunshine Jesus Camp basement and Sookie warns him he will get killed by the vampires. Sookie shakes her head a lot when she's mad. Or happy. Or confused. Or turned on. Sookie's fake husband Hugo reveals his and Sookie's name to Steve, who then makes the connection between her and Jason. Steve runs off and kidnaps Jason as he's suddenly trying to flee, not because Sookie has been found out, of course, but because Jason and Sarah got it on. Sookie sends a mental message to fellow telepath Barry to git her out of there. LeFleur goes running back to the sheriff of Bon Temps because he is totally freaked out by the orgy the other night at Mary Ann's House O' Good Times. Speakin' of House o' Good Times, back at Sookie's house, Mary-Ann walks into the living room with her feet covered in blood and carrying a dead rabbit. Tara worries aloud that Sookie will find out about these parties and get upset. Tara is also starting to realize that Mary-Ann might be a little weird. Could be the rabbit. Jason has no idea why Steve and his goon are threatening him, but looks like Jason is set to take an early trip to see the Good Lord. Inside the chicken wire prison, Sookie reads Hugo's mind and sees he's the betrayer. What, has his mind been closed for remodeling up until now? It's official: Mary-Ann is a maenad, a handmaiden of Dionysus. Dionysus, the Horned God. It's all evil all the time and everyone should be skeert. In the chicken wire prison -- powered by Jesus! -- Hugo warns Sookie that vampires are users who gradually wear away at their human lovers, and Sookie will see that someday, and that's why Hugo joined the Sunshine Jesus Camp people. The Sunshine Jesus Camp people may be in league with Hugo, but they still aren't letting him out of his cage. Meanwhile, Steve tells his wife, Sarah, that Jason is in league with the vampires. It's not true of course, but it don't matter none. Oh hi, Lafayette. I see you're back in business and you've reunited with your eyelash curler. All is right at Merlotte's. The red-headed slacker waitress confides in Tara that she and Terry might have done something really wrong the night before, cuz she blacked out, and maybe got it on, against Terry's will. LeFleur bursts into Merlotte's and accuses the whole town of bein' devil zombies what love the orgies from hell. Sam sees something, but we don't know what. Jessica wakes up and there are roses and rose petals all over her Hemophiliac Hilton bed. Hoyt is also lighting candles. But he isn't gay, he's you know, decoratin'. Jessica, being a teenager, thinks it's perfect. Then they git it on. Jason is running like hell trying to escape from Sunshine Jesus Camp. Sarah drives up and he thinks he's found help, but Sarah shoots him. Out at the lake, Mary-Ann comes to see Daphne. She has a brainwashed Eggs with her. Eggs executes Daphne. In the chicken-wire prison, the Sunshine Jesus Camp bodyguard is beating up Hugo for some reason not entirely clear. Then the goon makes to rape Sookie. That gets Vampire Bill all het up back at the Hemophiliac Hilton. He tries to escape his room. Maker Lady tries to stop him. In the end, it's Godric who saves her. That isn't even the most amazing part: Godric ain't Indian no more. |

I wondered at Godric's different appearance as well. He looked so much darker in the flashback, but now he's as white as Eric.

PinotEnvy wrote:Good point. It seemed like Tara was affected once Maryann focused on her, and Maryann was definitely distracted when Andy arrived. I kind of like Andy, the big lug. He's mean as a snake sometimes, like when he was yelling at Lafayette last week, but he's trying to do the right thing. He's got good instincts, they're just marinating in alcohol. If he got off the bottle, he'd be a good cop. |

Something else I'm wondering....maybe one of you book readers can clue me in. Godric is 2000 years old, and super powerful. Why is he only a sheriff?
I remember that magistrate last season (who was an awesome character....more of him sometime, please) and he mentioned being trained in the Inquisition.
Assuming he was a young vampire then, he'd be much younger than Godric. I wonder why he'd be in a higher position than Godric.

I think like real life politics, if you don't have the ambition to go higher, you don't. Maybe being Sheriff is all the bureaucracy he was willing to put up with |

So, I got the sense that maybe Godric didn't want any high position or the responsibilities and only claimed the sheriff of Texas position instead. And I agree with you about Andy. I actually felt sorry for him in the last episode, first for having his arm broken, OUCH, and then for the look that Sheriff Dearborn was giving Andy when he was trying to explain what he saw. LOL. Poor Andy. |

I think MaryAnn has to possess them or direct her influence at them to be affected. When Andy came up on the orgy/ritual, MaryAnn was busy preparing to sacrifice Sam and she had no idea Andy rolled up. Then Andy shot his pistol, alarming MaryAnn, which allowed Sam to escape and MaryAnn immediately went after Sam.Yeah, but Andy continues to NOT be affected by her, even though he's been in situations with her before, like the party. If anyone would be a prime target of her, it seems like it would be a lonely drunk, who no one takes seriously now that he's drunk all the time. |

This episode OWNED, hard!
And Andy has been affected by Maryann before. The first time she threw the party at Merlotte's and then a second time when she rolled up onto her party and found the pig in the little house out back, and than a third time at Tara's B-day party. |

Angelica2003 wrote: That's something to think about. I just figured on both of the past situations, it was again that Andy showed up after the festivities had already begun. Also, in the first one at the "client's house" MaryAnn had her lackey mix up some kind of concoction that she had people drink and it seemed like that started them to turn. That first party Tara wasn't affected either and she was there for the whole thing. I think it was because she didn't drink the potion. Maybe the potion has a key in it? Maybe MaryAnn's victims have to ingest some magical elixir at some point and then, after that, they are susceptible to her powers? I could be totally wrong, but I think these are the explanations for Andy not falling under MaryAnn's spell as of yet. |

maxxfisher wrote:Oooh, great pick up, Maxx. I LOVE that theory and think that would be totally in her character. LOL I do also think that the way the season has played out, with the townies getting more and more crazy and more lustful and orgy-like with each party they attended, that MaryAnn's power must start small and then build and build over time in people until she gets them like they were in the last 2 episodes at her orgy/ritual. Another reason to pity poor Andy. LOL. |

At the first party, when Andy saw the pig in the little house, I don't remember him being affected at all. But he was definitely affected at Merlottes.
He had just said that he would never dance again, then next thing you know, there he is getting down with Maryann. I forgot that.
I think Maryann can entrance (for lack of a better word) people in different ways. Definitely by drinking the concoction that Carl whipped up, but I don't think that something needs to be ingested. Tara and Eggs were pretty disturbed at finding the orgy. I can't imagine they decided to have a drink and hang out. Maybe she can just mind fuck them too. Look into their eyes, and put a spell on them. Or not, if she chooses not to. Which could explain Andy. At Merlottes, Maryann engaged Andy and he was affected. At the first orgy, maybe she decided not to include him in the fun. Then at this past orgy, she didn't know he was there, and he was not affected. It's probably at her discretion. That reminds me of possibly my fave Andy quote: "I've seen that pig! In a dollhouse!" Think of the absurdity of that statement. So freakin funny. ETA: I just read Maxx's theory. That seems very fitting. Great catch!

Yea, I agree with Maxx. Totally sounds like something Maryann would do.
