Timebomb, Episode 8

This was the episode where our favorite characters finally came together (OK, minus Lafayette and the vampires) and interacted. Godric saves Sookie and Eric must do his maker's bidding. A great line from Eric in tonight's episode was him telling Sookie, "Don't use words I don't understand," in reference to love. Sookie must be wondering why Bill didn't swoop in and save her, but she knows something's amiss. It seems she's smartened up since last season (and she's definitely not like Book Sookie).

Godric, the goodwill vampire ambassador in action tells Eric there will be no bloodshed and Eric complies, as do the rest of the cast of characters who come trouping into the FOTS sanctuary: Bill, Jason, Stan and his vampires, and lastly Godric who stops the madness. Jason has the best lines in the whole show, especially after he tells Rev Steve where he's seen heaven, "inside your wife!" HA HA!!! Good going, Jason. I didn't like you very much last season (well, I liked you better after you gave Vampire Eddie Tru Blood), but Jason is becoming more layered this season -- let's hope it lasts. Once everyone gathers at the nest we have more juicy conflict as Bill touches Eric to let him know Sookie is his and that he didn't appreciate being held against his will by that witch Lorena. Then we have a conversation between Eric, Bill and Sookie. Then Sookie wants to talk to Bill about why he's been withdrawing from her and then Jason interupts them to take Bill away and apologize to him for being anti-vampire. THEN we get the Lorena/Sookie confrontation the preview clips have been teasing us with. Sookie fights Lorena off and then Godric tells the pathetic creature to pack her bags out of Dallas. Bill has to escort her out, so he's safe when the Lukeinator joins the party with a ton of explosives. Not good...not good....

We can't forget about poor Sam. He gets caught with Daphne's body and the cops are looking for him. How's he going to get out of this one? Maybe Bill will come to his rescue. After eating Daphne's heart in the Hunter Souffle, Tara and Eggs are ready to kill each other (in a good way) while Mariann admires her work. Disgusting.

And Jessica can't get a break. She'll be a virgin forever, but Hoyt will be by her side, unless Mama Fortenberry decides to seriously intervene and you all know she will!

In the next episode Sookie and Eric will share a blood bond (it has to happen, I guess), Bill (or maybe it'll be Stan to prompt the Nan Flanagan visit) will fly into a rage and then they'll get to Bon Temps and find it in tatters. I can't wait to see the confrontation between Mariann and Bill.

till next Sunday, Trubies!
