Wow! I certainly think that this episode made up for last week's. It had lots of action, along with plenty of interesting plot developments.
So Sookie got to show off her "superpower" once again. I'm worried that King Russell, who expressed such obvious delight at the demonstration, wants to "collect" Sookie (Remember Talbot's line--"He's like a little boy. When he wants something he takes it."). And what about Bill, who is now revealed as a traitor to his new King? Indeed, Russell brings up a good question: why was Bill tracking the Stackhouse geneolgy? Was it really to track down the origins of her telepathy, or of her "superpower"? It will be interesting to find out.....
And then there's Eric! So now we learn that he wasn't just a Viking warrior, but a Viking Prince, whose parents were killed by werewolves at the direction of...Russell Edgington!!!
Apparently Russell is really
really old. But now Eric knows he is in the house of his parents' murderer. I bet that Eric is
still out for vengeance.
I truly fear for Tara: Franklin is not just a monster, he's clearly a nutcase, and I hope he doesn't wind up turning Tara. However, things should get interesting when "Super Sookie" is brought back to Russell's mansion and discovers that her best friend is being held prisoner there.
As usual, Jason provides comic relief by proving that he has no understanding of the simple fact that the majority of most police work is dull routine. He clearly digs Crystal, but she's the daughter of Calvin Norris and she must have some deep dark secrets to hide. This does not bode well.....
And finally there's the matter of Sam and his awful family. There may be hope for Tommy, but why does Joe Lee think he "owns" him?
And, of course, Jessica provided a delightful moment of cuteness by glamoring the Merlotte's clientele so that they won't tip Arlene.
And I have to agree with Tommy when he says to her--"Hell, you're a smokin' hot vampire. And hell yeah!"
