Here the other episode highlights:
- Eric kidnaps the Governor's daughter. I think she may be his potential new love interest (or perhaps lunch) Willa tells Eric there is a secret research facility where horrible experiments are performed on vampires. We see they have just captured Reverend Steve Newlin. And there's his ex-wife to torture him. This should be fun.
- After Bilith almost turns himself into toast by standing outside in the sun, he hatches a plan to create a new type of blood. Sookie won't give him any fairy blood so he's going after Andy's fairy babies next. Poor Jessica is still standing by her crazy maker.
- Grandpa Niall goes to the fairy club but Warlow has killed everyone. GrandPops later runs into Ben and takes him back to Sookie's house. I don't trust Ben at all. What if he's Warlow? That would be a good twist. Sookie finds out they are Fairy royalty. Why does no one ever find out that they're just a peasant?
- Sam is still trying to get Emma back. He disguises himself as an owl and sees deputies at Martha's house. Emma is forced by Rikki to shift into a puppy so they can't take her away. Those stupid humans from the VUS volunteer to help rescue Emma. Unfortunately most paid with their lives when the werewolves attacked. Is Nicole the only one left?
- Eric, Pam, and Tara sorrowfully leave Fangtasia for the last time (it has been confiscated by the gov). When Ginger first finds Eric at her door, she thinks they're going to hookup. Nope, her house has just become a bed and breakfast for Eric, Pam, Tara and Willa. I love Ginger! Pam and Tara hate Willa and think its a terrible idea to keep her around. Eric says she is their only leverage. While Eric is on the phone with the gov, Tara leaves with Willa. And Ginger has been glamoured for the millionth time to protect the vampires whereabouts. That girl has some serious brain damage by now.
- Andy's fairy babies are now teenagers. What is their life span-- like two months? Andy shows Holly how to shoot so she can protect her boys from wayward vampires. Oh, and the fairy babies still don't have names. Number 3 is particularly mischievous.
- At the end of the episode Jason collapses. He had been suffering from headaches and visions (and had brain damage to start with). In an unrelated note, he's going to shoot off his willy if he doesn't stop cramming that gun in his pants every two seconds.
What did you think of episode 3? Am I off target with my criticisms?
From Wikipedia:
Episode 3 "You're No Good"
Irate over Burrell’s blatant aggression towards vampires, Eric takes matters into his own hands. After dangerously testing the limits of his powers, Bill enlists a TruBlood innovator to synthesize a new type of blood – but has difficulty finding the right donor. Sookie begins to learn why Warlow is after her. Sam receives unexpected help from Nicole and her Vampire Unity Society (V.U.S.) associates. Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) finds his past ideals turning into a current nightmare.
Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). I'm beginning to think "True Blood" has lost its bite. I hope the season picks up soon.
