Godric's arc wasn't lame at all (not sure if I detected sarcasm in some people's reactions)... he wasn't whiny or pouty, his suicide came across as more of an "enlightenment." He didn't even come across as being self-loathing, although he was SADDENED by the general inability for vampires to evolve. It's like by being such an old fucker (older than Jesus, yo!) he accrued so much wisdom that he was no longer able to even communicate it to the others. I really saw his death as an ascension of sorts. What an awesome little arc.

Personally, although her delivery is cheesy as fuck (reminiscent of high school drama), I think it kind of works for her. Plus she certainly looks the part.
One thing I'm not clear on (maybe they make it more obvious in the books) is how she got to be royalty in the first place. It kind of seems like she's actually younger than Eric. I know she mentioned something about how people tasted just before the Industrial Revolution, but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean she was turned then.
As to the selling V, my best guess is that she wants to reap the profits from what has become a major drug trade. I guess that seems pretty obvious, but better control the distribution of it than have a bunch of yahoos kidnap vampires, take the blood, and sell it themselves. Maybe she wants to become the Pablo Escobar of V. That or maybe some longer term conspiracy, getting people in the thrall of vampires by getting them hooked on their blood.

They're such a nuiscance to the show, a few times around last season they made me stop watching it, then when I forgot, I picked it up again
and vomited all over that ALF woman and annoying actress.

HBO's racy vampire drama "True Blood" got off to a strong start Sunday night, with 5.1 million viewers watching the season premiere.
That's a jump of almost 40% from the 3.7 million viewers who watched the Season Two premiere. Overall, the second season of "True Blood" averaged 4.3 million viewers, meaning that Season Three is already up about 20% in viewers from where Season Two left off.

So what was everyone's favourite scene? I'd have to go with Eric in the S&M dungeon. Jason's threesome with the bullet hole twins was funny too.

Anything to do with Pam. She's hilarious as well.

it would've been funnier though, if they'd followed up with it in the scene where he can't get it up with the two vet students, and while one was going down on him, he should've closed his eyes real hard and whispered under his breath "dick on! dick on!" til one of them looked up and said "what?" and he'd play it all off "oh, nothin, nothin"

i agree with this. he kinda reminded me of the blue-penis man from watchmen, he's evolved to the point where he's out of touch with humanity AND other vampires. i do wish he'd hung around a little longer on the show though.

Oh, that was great and what about that three course blood meal with the blood gelato? I also liked the addition of the British vamp into Tara's story line.
Where did that dead guy go that Jessica was going to go all Ash on? Did Hoyt remove the body?
Pam continues with the zingers each week - "Come on. Let's go to the ladies' room and stare at ourselves in the mirror. ..."
We got our first glimpse at Hotshot, which I remember from the books. This little redneck/deviant town will play a major role going forward.

Generally I thought this episode was much stronger than the last one. They even have She-Wolves of the SS now!

CRYSTAL NORRIS + JASON STACKHOUSE!!!!!
I'm curious what you kids think about Sam's storyline? It's still early but *yawn*. I guess if I had my way the show would be completely focused on Sookie, Eric, Bill, the Queen, the V, jessica and Hoyt, etc. Some of the other story lines are a hit-or-miss for me.

The Hoyt-Jessica stuff was excellent last season but this season I'm finding it a bit tired. I'd rather just focus on Jessica's learning to be a vampire/body disposal expert (especially if her mentor is Pam!)

I really think they did Bill a big service by separating him from Sookie. He was a bit of a yawn last season (except maybe in his flashbacks) as he was usually moping over Sookie like a grumpy old man. This season he's gotten his fangs back. More grandma-bitin' and werewolf-fightin'!

So the other night I was having dinner with some family friends whose son had just graduated highschool and we all started talking about True Blood. Our waiter overheard and promptly joined in, saying how much he loved the show, except for now he felt like Alan Ball was "pushing the Dumbledore stuff" too hard. I think his delicate, homophobic sensibilities were deeply offended by the Sam-Bill scene in the first episode. I'm like, seriously dude, you watch a show with some of the most bizarre, graphic sex scenes shown on TV and you can't handle a homoerotic dream sequence where nothing even happens?!

Anyway, my point is, more queer vampire action! Rumor has it that Eric will be engaging in a little man on man love this season as well. Here's hoping Pam finds someone who can appreciate her attentions more than Soookeh.
