Justin: Sorry for the delay on this post, we've been busy with a few other things and just last night watched this week's episode.
SPOILERS BELOW
Justin: So it sure does seem quite a few of my predictions have come true thus far. Tommy killed his mom, therefore he will be able to shift into a human. Got that one right! Jason is becoming interested in Jessica! Two! I'm trying to remember what else, but I'm sure there's something.
Mallory: You did have an inkling that something would come of the Bellfleur chick. And speaking of- eww. What kind of weirdy wants to keep a relationship going with her great-great-great-ad nauseam-grandfather? It doesn't matter how many greats are in there, that's just sick. Weirdy.
Justin: Speaking of that, I can't help but think that's going to come back to haunt Bill. You can't just glamor one of the more influential people in all of Bon Temps to runaway screaming anytime she sees you without that messing things up. So we got to see what happens when a Fairy interacts with a witch, and even though Sookie could hear Gran in the mind of Marnie it still seems like something crazier should have happened, also how did she get back to her store after being left in the woods by Tara, Lafayette and Jesus?
Mallory: On her broomstick? You know what else didn't make sense? Tara and Sookie's confrontation at the end. Would a reasonable person really get mad and start yelling in that situation like Tara did? Wouldn't Tara just ask Sookie to explain to her why Eric was living in her house instead of accusing her of terrible things and storming out? Also, why wouldn't Sookie just tell her Eric lost his memory? Tara, Lafayette and Jesus are all freaked out trying to figure out how to deal with their "the vampire wants to kill us" situation when the vampire doesn't actually want to kill them. Sookie could be the good friend who swoops in, tells her everything's fine and saves that trio a lot of frustration (and trips to Mexico).
Justin: You're right about that. However it some ways it seems like this season has mostly been about Lafayette and Jesus, instead of of Sookie. Except there was a major development with the Sookie plotline. Looks like things are starting with her and Eric (Oh and it looks like Bill is going to catch them in the act). And speaking of Bill, how is he able to have all those paramilitary humans on staff? That's really more of a technical thing. Also it seems that Arlene and Terry are there just to be clowns now. The scene with Tara's mom and her preacher husband seemed real silly to me.

Mallory: I like the Eric/Sookie development. As he is now, Eric is a much more likeable character than Bill. In fact, I wouldn't miss Bill if he were gone. I'm not missing the werepanthers either. The current Jason-Jessica-Hoyt thing is easier for me to get into.
Justin: Yeah but the werepanther thing will be back next episode. That witch waitress made note of the full moon being "tomorrow night" to Sookie at Merlot's and Jason overheard and freaked out and left. I am guessing he's a werepanther or something. You have to wonder if he is a werepanther, that his offspring will the carry both the fairy gene and the werepanther gene, and create mindreading wondercats. Anyway, we'll let Mallory close this post out!
Mallory: The consensus seems to be that the season is getting better. A lot of viewers were unhappy with the first few episodes and the issue of "everyone being a something." The writers seem to finally be backing that up with some compelling stories. Hopefully this trend will continue.
