Sorry for being MIA... holy hell.  I can't believe there is only one episode left sad

There is so much going down.  I feel like the last few episodes have really been good and have set us up for a lot.  I EFFING hate Bill now.  I seriously think he is so weak for allowing this to happen to him.

Seems like this whole Lillith thing is just a trick to get the camps to kill each other out of jealousy. Am I only one that feels the relationship between the sheriff and waitress what's-her-face is totally unnecessary?

Well it's all about "nesting."  They start to lose it after living with each other for an extended period of time.  I get really annoyed always watching them in that damn temple or w/e it's called. I thought Lillith would have been a little bit more attractive.  She didn't really make me go "wow," but she is very natural. lol

No, I think Andy deserves a good girl friend.

Has anyone else found this new season to be completely fucking boring? I love TB, but I have yet to be pulled in to ANY of the new storylines besides Alcide. I can't stand much more of the one dimensional borefest that is the Vampire Authority.

More Jessica, por favor! She's so preeeeeeeeeeeetty.

here's what I don't understand...

so that blood of lillith thing was really just the blood of salome (when bill drank from salome, he got the same visions of lillith that he got after drinking "lillith's blood"). so why did salome have a vision of lillith as well? (the whole "I chose you" thing)

I wouldn't say boring, but definitely a lot going on, and a bit messy... I'm guessing it's either going to be an insaney good finale that ties everything together, or it's going to be a step up to an amazing new season

Hmmm, it might have looked in that scene like it was in fact the blood of Salome, but I think they have all been on one big high since they started to drink the blood of Lillith the first time, keeping to see her appearing to them here and there at random moments.

In the last Inside the Episode video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbtc-JJ8iAQ), they talk about it like it is clear that Lillith is just Lillith and she's appearing to all of them.

I think she is this demon entity .. much like the maenid was in an earlier season .. she is pitting each and everyone of the council members against each other .. but I do wish someone would hose her ass down and take a weed wacker to her though  wink

I know it may have something to do with the nesting but I think it's some sort of trick.

And yeah, Andy deserves a good girlfriend I just don't understand how the story is relevant. It's total filler.

I'm sure you remember how quickly a vamp can kill someone. Even large groups in a matter of seconds. And they just saw their elder, the most power fairy of the group, get sucked dry.

Anyway, I think they'll fight eventually (they'll have to), but I can't blame them for being scared big_smile

I'll still watch the show, but it's getting almost campy with all this very silly fairy crap.  Sure, give them powers and all, but that dumb alt plane is really "Charmed" like.

The fae was an important part of the stories .. given they are not being handled all that well yet .. but it is better than when they first introduced them .. looked like a back lot from the old Star Trek show .. the fae storyline will come into it's own.

This whole "Lilith" thing is starting to get old for me, as is all the ass kissing with the Authority. If this is what the next season is about I might stop watching.
I DID however like the implication that the military has been getting ready for the eventuality that they'll have to fight vamps sooner or later. As a former Army officer who did a lot of contingency work, I promise you there'd be an entire portion of the Pentagon devoted to that...

Showing his true colors? say whaaa??! The Bill we've known has always been sympathetic to humans and in fact loves them.  Are we talking when he was made by his maker?  How she taught him that humans were nothing but food?  I feel like we haven't gotten a lot of Bill's back story of when he was made.

You're like the 3rd person who has said that and I don't think it's boring at all.  There is a lot more explanation and stories being told, which was lacking in last season.  They all tend to unveil everything when necessary.

She annoys the crap out of me.  She doesn't seem to actually talk to them, but rather chant to them as to what they are to do.  She just always seemed like a vision and not really there.  I can't really explain it that well...

It most definitely is a trick, but the nesting makes a lot of sense as to why they're all tripping balls.  Eric and his sister snapped out of it the moment their maker appeared to them.  I feel that if the others had something like that happen to them then they'd snap out of it.

I don't think it's a filler at all.  It's like any other characters story of dating.  Plus, when the other woman come into play about being pregnant it made his story more interesting.  I'm interested to see how he explains that one.

I didn't understand how the lead fairy died so easily.  That bugged the crap out of me.  He was also vulnerable while feeding on her so they should have all jumped out and shot him with light.

For some reason the thing that bugs me the most is the inconsistency of the power of a vampire depending on his age. One second they make it seem like a newer vampire has no chance against an older one and then the next thing we see is a 100 year old vampire easily kill a 1000+ year old one.

Also don't vampires know how easy it is to kill them? Why do they think they have a chance when they can't even be wounded. Every shot from  a wooden bullet is instant death. Not to mention that day problem where they can't even stay up in the dark. They have to sleep or they die or something.

Still a fun show though.

Isn't Russell the oldest vampire on the planet, and therefore his powers/speed would be the strongest?

She was also probably distracted due to her misfire, whereas Russell has no such distractions due to empathy or concern for others.

I definitely agree with the power thing.  It is very inconsistent.  I also agree how easy it is to kill them.  I don't like that if they get hit with a wooden bullet they instantly die.  I was always under the impression that it had to directly pierce their heart.  Maybe it's just because they're out in the open so containing them/killing them is just as easy as a human.

He is, but fae are also extremely powerful beings and should have much stronger powers.  Especially her since Sookie's small light ray could do damage and she is only part fae.

Yeah, but wasn't it said that fae had lost her ability to focus and concentrate?

Thus, it would seem logical that she's also lose her ability to focus and concentrate her powers.

Good point, but I still think in a high pressure/life threatening situation like that she would be more on point.. *shrugs* if only we could ask the writer/producer these questions haha

I'm trying to figure out the flying thing. why don't they just fly all the time??? why even bother walking or running when you can fly, seriously?

well, of course they have to sleep or they die. same with humans you know wink.

how about the whole scene where sookie used a chopstick from the chinese takeout to stake a vampire big_smile? I mean, is that even possible? My chopsticks break if I squeeze them too hard... If I'd try to stab someone in the neck with it they'd probably walk away with a bruise and maybe a splinter. Are american chopsticks different :p?
