Finally, Bill the Vampire grows a pair, Sookie gets Care Bear Stare powers, and Jason Stackhouse with a chainsaw! WOO!
needless to say, this episode made me happy. Jason Stackhouse taking up some powertools and fighting off the Zombie Hippie Orgy People made my night. I knew there would be no Bon Temps Chainsaw Massacre, not after the way Jason used a paintball gun as a nonlethal way to thwart Steve Newlin. He’s a nice guy, and not inclined to hurt people needlessly. I like him.
Sookie’s little blast of care-bear-stare energy at Maryann was also welcome. it seems like when she’s pissed she can do more than read minds, or something about her innate mojo makes her the anti-Maryann. I desperately want a cat-fight between these two, and as long as it is not written by whoever did Sookie and Bill’s dialogue for the previous few episodes it would be very entertaining.
i also love that the zombie hippies can be easily diverted with video games. a trip to Best Buy should render them manageable while people figure out how to stop Maryann. After sookie’s little burst of luminescent bitchslap, I can’t help but think it involves the words “Care Bear STARE!“ Hoyt, Jessica, Sookie, and Bill will use the power of their awkward romances to drive the filthy hippies from Bon Temps, with special effects by Industrial Light and Mojo.
or not. Still. glowy bitchslap was a nice touch, and I’d like to see more of it.
Also: Jason’s light show to confuse the zombies and save Sam? Comedy gold. I am so glad the Stackhouses are back in Bon Temps. It’s just the right environment for all the entertaining qualities of these characters to really shine.
overall a good episode. more like this, less lame couple-talk between Sookie and Bill.
