A New World in My View, Episode 10

In last week's too-short episode (45 minutes -- come on, Alan Ball! So that means this post will be short as well), we saw what happened when Sookie returned home and when Bill tried to fight off Mariann. Sookie has some sort of zapping power (could be from a fairy..hmmm....) and when Bill bit into the maenad, he vomited black bile -- not good. We also had the cliffhanger of Jessica biting Maxine Fortenberry as Hoyt is flung aside like an old gym sock - will Maxine be drained? Will Hoyt want to save his mom? Good stuff. Also, Jason goes Rambo to save Bon Temps at Merlotte's where everyone is gathered for another orgy. Jason temporarily saves Sam by faking the "God who comes" and after Sam shifts into a fly and then extinguishes the flare's flames only wearing an apron, Andy declares, that's the last drink I'll have.

Then after Bill and Sookie work in tandem to save Tara's soul Bill tells Sookie he knows of a vampire who might help them defeat Mariann. Our last scene has Bill strutting (he's gotten his mo jo back!) to see a naked leg full of blood inside the Queen's palace.

I can't wait for tonight episode to reveal Bill's relationship with Queen Sophie-Anne and I know this relationship will do something to wreck Bill and Sookie's relationship. I guess it has to happen in order for the show to stay interesting. I just hope Bill will return for Episode 12.

I took an image of the figurine that seems to hold Mariann's power. This blog has done an excellent job of researching this figure and its meaning in the show -- Enjoy!
