Stop by on Sunday nights after True Blood to talk about the show.
WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS
Tonight was the season premiere of True Blood and since the show is based on the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris I thought I would do a weekly "review" on Sunday nights after watching the new shows. Please fell free to leave comments on the show on my thoughts of the show below.
For those of you that have not read the book series the 4th season of True Blood will be loosely based on the 4th book, Dead to the World.
I'm late with my post because I watched the 2nd show on HBO GO. So if you have not watched it you might want to skip the end of this. I'll put a red break so you know where to stop reading.
True Blood S4 E1: She's Not There
First let me say the farie stuff is GAY.
Did not see the whole Sookie being gone for a year coming. So Sookie spends 10-15 mins in GAY farie world but it's actually about 12 months our time, which makes sense, her grandpa Earl that he was only there for a little time too but he had been gone for 20 years.WOW. Not sure how I feel about it but I guess if they want to make some of the characters grow they had to do something. And it keeps it fresh for us that has read the books.
I knew when Sookie sees her house all painted that Eric had something to do with it. But with him buying the house she's not safe from other vamps entering her home. Wonder what kind of trouble that will bring in the future.
I was wondering how Bill and Eric felt Sookie if she was gone for a year but I guess since she felt like she was only gone for a few minutes maybe her body would still have their blood in her.
Bill's the King, WTF?! I like how they are showing us more of his past, with being a "spy" for the AVL. I must say I like Bill in the show MUCH better than Bill in the books.
Pam, one word. AWESOME. "Pulling good string" I bet!
Jessica and Hoyt has just started and I am already done with that. Let's move on.
Tara, really?! Moving on...
Love Layafette. Wait to you see next week's show.
Over all it was a good start to the season. Just hope we don't see much of the farie world.
True Blood S4 E2: You Smell Like Dinner
I watched episode 1 & 2 together so my thoughts might over lap.
Anybody else think it's ironic that the actress that is playing Marina the head witch is Harry Potter's Aunt that hates witches? Just wondering.
So it looks like we are going to get more shifters this season. I knew that Tommy was pulling something with the whole praying before dinner and hanging with Hoyt's momma.
I like how that are bring in the Skinwalker angle with the new shifter chick. Reminds me of Mercy Thompson series by Patrica Briggs.
Arlene was crazy before but she's going to be in a rubber room by the time this season is over.
Little bit a twist with Crystal helping turn Jason into a were-panther. Oh I forget to say something last week... Jason a cop?!?! And he seems to be the smart one?!
Eric getting his memory wiped at the end and Sookie seeing him. It's going to be all good from here out. I can't wait!
HA! I thought Faerie was GAY too! I was like erm ok. So didn't see Tara being GAY! Still hate Bill as a cross over from the books, honestly did they want to get rid of Evan Rachel Woods that bad? I heard she was stuck up but that is just mean lol.
ReplyDeleteI watched episode 2 on HBO Go also and I thought it was better I'm over halfway through book four and I LOVE it and I can't wait for Sookie and Eric! HEHEHEHEHE! If he changes ANY of that, I'm personally writing Alan Ball hate mail!
I've only just started watching season 1, but I have read the first five books now.
ReplyDeleteSo far it's great! :)
wowo, thanks for the post!!
ReplyDeleteI have to watch the new episodes today but is some quite kind different from the book (as always).
The worst character for me is Tara, I hate her!
I agree. I don't care for Tara. I liked her in season one but not now. Why couldn't Franklin just offed her? LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about this. With Russell gone, Bill fought the Queen and it would have been to the death. SO if he won, he's the king.
ReplyDeleteI missed the hidey hole. THank you for visiting my recap _ I do sit with my laptop and type. Then I edit. It takes about three hours.

I have finally started to read the books, I absolutely loved books 1 -3 and I just started 4 and after book 3 it sealed it for me with Eric, I thought I loved him just from the show but wow what a difference in the books.
ReplyDeleteAs for first episode of season 1 I could have done without the fairy part too other than Sookie getting to see her granddad.
Tara I did like her but she is just getting on my nerves lately.
I loved Pam and her promo omg I laughed so hard then Eric's was classic Eric.
Bill I started not to kind of hate him at the end of Season 3 when he did what he did to Eric I was so pissed.
I have such a hard time letting go when I have an idea of how things are "supposed to be" in my head. I agree with your thought on Faerie... that it sucks. And Bill is definitely a different guy than the one we know in the books.
ReplyDeleteI was just so disappointed on the big changes. Small changes, I'm ok with. But the big ones really bother me.
