So, i actually already watched the third episode, but i didn't recap it, because I was watching it with my BF as a time-sink rather than alone with the plan of dissecting it it, and critiquing it. But... Yeah. Maybe i'll watch it in fast mode right now and see if i can put down some of the thoughts i had while i was watching it. Then i'll get to the next episode.
Episode 3:
So, I was wrong last time, about Bil showing up precisely at the right moment to save our little Sookie. Instead the gang of vamps confronts Sookie, she tells them she can't be glamoured then bill tells them to let her in. She comes in, which seems like a dumb move. But whatever. Bill's chilling in the shadows, in the corner of the room, and there are a couple of really stoned looking people lounging on sofa's. At first i thought these were vamps, but turns out their the vampires playthings.
Blah blah blah, these vampires are taunting sookie. Bill is breathing all heavy in the corner. Obviously turned on by it. Which is just a little creepy, if you ask me. He's supposed to be all charming and kind. Or something.
Anyway, just as this black vampire chick is about to take a chomp out of sookie, bill stands up and says "Stop!..." Then in a very growly and dog-marking-it's-territory way, "Sookie is mine"
Cue Theme and Intro.
Vampires are all cool with Bill having "ownership" of sookie. so they all have fun with their human playthings. Blah blah.
Apparently "Hep D" weakens Vampires. Sookie Read's human's mind and saves Bill from getting infected.
Vampires are being Evicted?
Bill seems like he's intensely in love with Sookie. He keeps looking into her eyes in a really intense way.
He tells her that her visit was unexpected. Though i distinctly remember her telling him he'd come by that night with info about an electrician. Obviously the writers aren't paying attention to what happened in the last episode. Or maybe bill's just got a short term memory. (that would be a cruel affliction for a vampire, considering they live forever.... or maybe it would be a kindness...).
So, I'm really not that up to date on my vampire lore (but i do know that they DON'T SPARKLE), so i'm not sure if the writers are completely all of this stuff up (i'm pretty sure a good deal of it is made up, but i'm not sure about all of it). But apparently, Vampires become more "evil" when they live together, while vampires like Bill who live alone are more likely to "hang on to some semblance of humanity" or something.
Tara and Sam talk about Sookie.
That girl who was with Jason comes home, expecting to find jason, instead finds someone dressed in black and masked. She freaks out and then it's Jason after all.
Best line in this episode so far
"Goddamn it bill, how many times do i have to tell you, do NOT do that!"
"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. I just got here." (about him just appearing out of nowhere on her)
Sookie tries to break up with Bill. Bill tells her she can't because she "will never find a human man she can be herself with". Seems like a very bad relationship, to me. Abusive, perhaps.
More Tara and Sam opening up with each other. At Sam's place. Drinking. Recipe for disaster.
Tara turns on the charm, they plan on having sex because they're both lonely.
Cut to more sex. Jason and Whatshername. Fighting because he gets limp when he thinks about her being with a vamp. That seems stupid. I'm not sure why there's so much sex going on. It's lame.
There are also too many dream sequences. I thought it was common knowledge that having an intense scene about something, then having it turn out to be "just a dream" was one of the worst things a writer could do. And doing it twice in 3 episodes doesn't seem like it's helping.
Bill confronts the other vampires.
Bill walks very stiffly. And looks like a zombie when he movies.
Sam is cute. And acts like a dog in his sleep.
Tara's mother is a manipulative alcoholic. Another confrontation.
Weird conversation between Sookie and her grandmom. I've no idea why her grandmother is so cool with vampires. She's actually encouraging her to get together with Bill. Say what? As far as i know, grandmothers are more conservative than their grandchildren, so she should be concerned for Sookie. There's obviously something going on behind this.
Tara's Cousin is a drug-dealer-prostitute.
Sam calls a collie "My brother". Hint number 1249343.
Sookie and her Grandmom have a conversation about her grandad who also "knew things". Grandma tells her there's a purpose for everything.
Tara's cousin deals in "V". Jason dances on camera for it.
Sookie goes to Bills in the middle of the day so she can pretend she's with him, laying on his front steps and pleasuring herself.
All these scene cuts are really annoying to me.
Sam calls sookie, Dawns late for work. She's the one jaosn was with. Sooke goes to her place, alarm clock is beeping. Dawn in laying on her bed staring blankly at nothing. Dead? Sookie screams. End Episode.
