Counselor Ross got stuck in the ropes course and will be tied up for a bit, so I’m tackling the First Bite this week – and it’s for a doozy of an episode, no?
Of Note:
- Getting Glamoured Alcide , Recoiling from Sookie Alcide, or Hoggin’ the Bed Alcide? How’s a girl to choose?!
- Nice to see Cody Green, winner of Bravo’s Step Up and Dance, doing something slightly less gay with himself as a fairy stripper.
- Ruby and Lafayette are truly the Sophia and Dorothy of our generation. “Still smokin’ that bone, Pussycat?”
- They did NOT just go there with the whole Pam/Tara Missy/slave thing.
- Anyone who leaves A LOADED CROSSBOW out on the floor deserves to die behind the cash register to the sounds of a rerun of Hillbilly Hand-Fishin‘.
- Hey, Luna! Nice to see you not dead!
- And finally, farewell, Roman – we knew you not at all and we’re really okay with that. We will always have a special place for you in our Nike Swoosh.
For me this ep was a return to form (Flying Jess? Hungover Sookie? Bloodbath on a SHUTTLE BUS, for Pete’s sake?!) and I’m feeling much better going into the second half of Season 5. What’d you kids think?
When WereGrandma (Martha?) said, “There’s a piece of my boy in [Emma]” I couldn’t help but think, “there’s a piece of your boy in you, too.” Still haven’t gotten over that.
It’s rather unsettling to know the Sheriff has to have civilians shoot the bad guys. Jason shot Eggs (though he really wasn’t bad) and Sam shot the guy at the store. So will Sam become a deputy, now?
I thought it was interesting that Jessica seemed more interested in her friendship with Tara being on hold than if Hoyt was okay, but she did challenge Tara when she’d heard Hoyt’s voice, so I don’t know. And, speaking of Hoyt, I’m now thinking the Shifter Shooters are the guys who sat with Hoyt at Merlotte’s when Hoyt called Jason a “girlfriend fucker,” simply because they knew Hoyt. But the question remains how do they know about Shifters, unless they just so happened to see them shift?
Alcide in the short bed in frilly pink blanket was hilarious. I was also a bit amused to see him posing when standing next to Eric before he got glamoured.
Bye, bye Roman. I was surprised to see Christopher Meloni’s character get killed so soon. I still don’t care about that storyline, but Russell being back just made it fun.
Okay, I have a question. I’ve been wondering about it since I first saw the episode and I thought I’d go ahead and risk looking like a dork by asking: the Vampire guy who was feeding on Hoyt said Hoyt’s heart was slowing, but Hoyt said to keep going. Then the shooters came up, shot the Vamp, and the Vamp exploded, the blood going all over Hoyt. If some of the Vamp’s blood went in Hoyt’s mouth, considering he was closer to death, just how close to death, and how much Vamp blood, is needed for Hoyt to be turned?
I didn’t catch it until rewatch (though I noticed the golf shoes on the first watch) his whole outfit was a nike golf outfit, down to the subtle plaid nike golfing pants…
He wanted to hit the links before sunrise… poor Roman, Russell done messed up your plans!
I am so glad that Sookie realized that Eric glamored Alcide, ruining their potential to have cubs together. This couldn’t go on for several episodes. I guess Eric forgot that she deserves happiness no matter who she’s with. Though Eric’s passing of a pricked thumb under the eye will also heal a bleeding shoulder pretty fast.
I could swear that Sookie is wearing red ankle boots running into the open field looking for the portal to the Faery night club with Jason… in her Merlotte’s uniform. I wonder who made this fashion choice and why? She usually wears the black and white running shoes while she’s waitressing. She probably will blame it on the hangover if anyone notices.
Bri- the recap on AE was so good, had me laughing. This heat is no joke, be careful in this crap. Just think we have never experienced these temps in the tri-state ever, it’s historical. See, I’m making lemonade out of lemons metaphorically and in reality. Yeah I’m loopy and no drugs or alcohol are involved, yet.
Thanks!! Yeah, yesterday was seriously the most disgusting day in the history of the universe. I almost blacked out waiting for the A train – it had to have been 130 degrees on the platform. Enjoy the lemonade (and the drugs and alcohol)!
I’m still trying to figure out which pairing Eric was alluding to regarding his story to the Authority about two people “going at it like livestock”? Was this a snarky Alcide/old-were-JD comment (poking fun at Alcide’s sexuality right before he lays the sexy-man-glamour on him) or Alcide/Sookie? (obviously there’s a were involved with the animal reference).
I think he was referring to Alcide and Sookie… to add to Bill’s explanation of finding them along the side of the road and needing the Van. That’s what they were doing when the “found” them and took the Van with them inside.
