True Blood

His back is kicking his ass, my dad has the same problem

The scenes in Hotshot had a really cray energy this week, which was cool. I really like the spaced out crazy vibe everyone had going for them even Crystal. Makes them so much more interesting than they were last season.

I'm thinking that the Sam/Luna romance is meant to be sweet, but she's sending all these creepy vibes. Jesus/Lafayete aren't doing very much for me either. And are Hoyt and Jessica fighitng because of that voodoo doll that was in their house? They only seem to fight in their house.

Arlene's just got post-partum, right? Carrie Preston's bringing the funny though.

Tommy's hair can go die. Anna Paquin, on the other hand, has never looked hotter. Luna dresses too sexily to be a teacher, whch was lampshaded.

Glad Tara's back. Sookie's right, she does look amazing.

Well, Luna is a skinwalker, so on some level it's supposed to be creepy.

The Arlene / Evil?Baby storyline is still up in the air at the moment. I'm not sure why she would've gotten poked in the eye if the baby weren't evil, but it could all be a wacky misunderstanding so far.

I thought the stress made her pop a blood vessel which she blamed on the baby. Not to say that there's isn't anything wrong with the baby, but I don't think its done anything malevolent.

I'm disappointed in Andy. I know he wasn't the best person, but I thought he was on the up and up.

Andy's fucked up on the supercrack. It's making him act stupidly. Plenty of good people in the real world start acting like evil morons if they get hooked on mundane drugs.

It's already been shown that Eric can enter Sookie's house uninvited, now that he owns it, but do other vampires still need an invitation? I.e. what is the deciding factor on whether an invitation is needed: the fact that it is owned by a vampire or the fact that it is occupied by a human?

Human occupation, I think. Eric just royally fucked our girl Sookie over.

Franklin could enter Bills house without an invitation, so there you have it. One more reason for Sookie to be Erics, clever guy.

Was there no invitation, though? Franklin was working for the king of Mississippi... You can't exactly say no to him wanting to come over without screwing up that whole relationship... And since rescinding an invitation has only been shown in person, as well, I'm not sure that the whole sequence is a deciding factor on this discussion.

That said, I do agree that it may be necessary for a human to own the property in order to keep a vampire out... It just hasn't exactly been proven that that's the case.

Franklin could enter Bill's house, but his house is both owned by a vampire and occupied by vampires, with no human residents.

As far as I can recall, the following are the types of household that have been "tested" in-show:

Human owner, human resident: E.g. Sookie's house (seasons 1-3), Lafayette's house, Jessica's family's house

Vampires require an invitation. The invitation may come from someone who is not the owner (e.g. Tara inviting Franklin into Sookie's house, and Jessica's little sister inviting Bill in) or who is under the influence of a glamor (again, Tara and Jessica's sister).

Vampire owner, vampire resident: E.g. Bill's house

No invitation required.

Human-occupied hotel room:

E.g. Sam's hotel room in Arkansas (S 3 E 1) (probably human-owned). Bill required an invitation to enter, *but* it turned out to be Sam's dream, so may be inaccurate.

E.g. Bill & Sookie's hotel room at Hotel Carmilla (occupied by a human and vampires, probably vampire owned). Eric hovered outside the window waiting for an invitation from Sookie; this was *Eric's* dream, so presumably follows the vampire invitation rules. However, Lorena surprises Bill in the room when he wakes up, so she presumably entered without an invitation (however Sookie is not present at the time, so it's possible that the hotel room protection is weaker than a long-term residence, and requires that the human actually be present).

Other household types on the show:

Human owner, human and vampire residents: E.g. Hoyt and Jessica's house

No vampire visitors shown so far, IIRC.

Vampire owner, human resident: Sookie's house (season 4)

Vampire owner can enter without invitation, unconfirmed whether other vampires require invitation.

Does anyone recall other examples?

"You just killed my fairy godmother!" "... Sorry."

I like this new Eric. He's so innocent.

What I'm wondering now is if Sookie really looks like what those Faeries look like under stress.

Hey, Terror!Doll's back! It's probably Maxine's, and I'm guessing it's why Hoyt and Jessica keep fighting. Hell, now it's been given to Arlene's kid I'd be amused to see it actually start raising hell instead of her kid — only Arlene thinks it's her son bringing the crazy. That's my prediction, anyway.

The pather-people are still batshit. Still prefer Crystal to this season than the last. Actually prefer the show entirely this season to the last. So far...

Tommy's a dumb-ass. Why in hell did he tell Sam? And when did he get so un-pretty? Maybe it's the hair. Hoyt, on the other hand, is still fucking hot. /shallow end of the pool.

Kinda liking Portia, her speech was cool. Bill's a player. Blonde!Debbie is funny/weird, but I loved fucked!up!Debbie way more in concept.

Hoyt is probably one of the more average-looking guys compared to the others on the show, but I'd date him in a heartbeat. He's adorable and he's the only one who doesn't have some fatal personality defect like secretly being a spy or being a kidnapping rapist or killing your fairy godmother.

I reckon he's easily the hottest man on the show. Goddamn he's beautiful.

I also wonder if the thing inside the baby with the doll, the faeries chasing Sookie, and whoever that withc summoned are all related, or are they just going all come down on Bon Temps at the same time in a giant clusterfuck.

Unf, Alcide. You should never wear clothes.

The witches are officially awesome but you know they'll just get screwed over by the vampires in the end. Shameful.

I think that had the most shirtless men of any episode.

I want nice Eric to stay around forever.

Yeah, he's a lot better than evil dick Eric.

Hopefully when Eric inevitably regains his memories he'll have learned to be a better person. I can't stand the idea of Eric as he was being a love interest for Sookie. Not that I don't like him, but he's a sociopath and I think it's kind of creepy how the entire fanbase seems to think he's the perfect boyfriend.

Yes. Plus, he's a murderer. Hell, most of the vampires on the show are murderers after some fashion, repentant or no.

Honestly, Sookie's best bet is Alcide, but I want him to myself.

I thought that was awesome. That shot where her hand went through her face. Fuck.

And that was such a tease with Alcide's pubic hair. Grrr.

I KNOW, RIGHT? The entire time he was onscreen I was practically squirming and begging for the camera to drop just a few centimeters lower. >_>

I was so fucking jealous when he was making out with Debbie. XD

Who's gone blonde. You knew she could smell her on him.

I seem to have been right about Terror!Doll, too.

I actually think it's pretty adorable how Alcide is so in love with Debbie that he's willing to forgive and take her back after everything she's done. That's loyalty.
