Tic-tac, anyone?
I swear upon the blood of Lillith… An Anna Paquin karaoke record is shelved somewhere, waiting for release at Walmart. First 200 buyers get a discounted Orange Marzipan!
This week’s episode covered drinks, kills, clubs, and – might I add, it was all very Apple. Seriously, how many Mac products did you spot?!
- Arlene‘s one line: “Barack and Hillary are askin’ fer you.”
- Sam gets an invite: dead Shifters. Free wine!
- Chancellor Baby Bottle Pop gets the True Death. Teeny, we hardly knew ye.
- Pam – now a free woman! – saves Tara‘s very melty face and gives her the blood of lez.
- Lafayette Bruja’s the shit outta Sookie‘s car, causing her to stop, drop, roll, and seriously pop some bottles. Only took her five seasons. That cabinet must’ve been dusty as hell.
- Brian Geraghty is the arsonist? That guy from I Know Who Killed Me?
- Jason, Andy, and the Judge take a limo ride to Cirque Du Gay at La Cage Aux Fairies… with some dropouts of those awful She Spies / Girls Club shows on, like, UPN.
- Hadley has the funniest fucking career trajectory, I’m sorry.
- Alcide saves Sookie‘s ass from a Pelt-ing and grants her another one.
I loved Pam’s inspirational speech to Tara: “Take her to the precipice of death and hold her there.” Finally – as my momma always said – never go shrooming during Iraqi wartime.
What the heck is Season Five?
This episode felt like the showrunners read the camp. First we have Sookie trying to make one of B cocktails. I think they were trying to recreate this http://youtu.be/DHPL77X6wr4
Then they finally kill Pasta kid. I think that was the reason he was so annoying. I really enjoy Mama Pam in this episode. And we need more naked Roman next time the need to loose the sheets.
Something that confuse me a little was the club. When Jason saw Hadley she thought he was there for refuge since She said that anybody with a drop of Fairy blood can be safe there. So why the fairies throw him out. He has fairy blood even if he doesn’t have the powers. or Kept him when the fairy read about Jessica.
Ito-ITA! “Tara’s special” orange marzipan cocktail had Camp Blood written all over it (minus the iced animal crackers).
And holy crap, that fairy club was dire. If they were going for Moulin Rouge, they REALLY missed the mark. More like Cirque Du So Lame.
Other than that, the episode was a solid eight or nine for me. The lack of Steve Newlin (my spell checker has now flagged Moulin and Newlin – coincidence?) maybe brought it down a bit, but Tara’s gooey armflesh, Alcide’s cunning “confession”, and the harrowing Iraq flashback kept it well above average. Can’t wait for the Blood Work dissection!
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF ICED ANIMALS IN MY PRESENCE. Seriously, though – Duane Reade actually came out with a line of the pink-and-white little beasts recently and they are GHASTLY. Avoid at all cost. And of course air-mail me the real deal if they sell them in your town. I think the Newlin Rouge needs to be our first Original Cocktail!
Which ones are the good ones? We’ve found two brands that are quite acceptable

Accept no substitutes.
We passed those in the store today… perhaps I’ll have to see what I can do
What the hell are they doing to Sookie this season, she is not only grating but acting like she doesnt have 2 braincells to rub together. She works at a bar, we have seen her serve drinks. Yet she just throws liquor together and drinks like a kid having their first party out of bounds when the parents are away? I was nauseous just watching that scene, ick, and that turned on Alcide. Thankfully the books have a better, smarter Sookie for me to think about.
Has Sookie not slept at all in the fifth season? If she got some zz’s she might feel better.
I KNOW, right? The last 6 episodes have all happened in, like, 48 hours. I would think that Sookie would be doin’ more in the Merlotte’s bathroom than just cryin’, if you catch my meanin’…
