Some Series That We Used to Know: The Racialicious Roundtable for True Blood 5.8

Latoya: Poor Steve. Russell has appeal, but he is a total downgrade from Jason Stackhouse. If I was Steve, I’d be working on my vamp combat skills to take Jessica out. And considering how Tara almost cleaned her clock, it could happen. Also, I am sad that Steve’s realization didn’t happen a few seasons ago where they might have actually done something with that plotline.

No Need for Words

Carly: I love that True Blood is working hard to catch up to Game of Thrones to meet HBO’s nudity quota. Being a female too, it’s really nice to watch shows that have more than the women stripping down for the men.

Latoya: Hey Alcide, we see you dining on Southern Cuisine! Top that, Eric!

Carly: It was noted in my household that there were more sex positions than lines in that scene. No objections from me!

Joe: The only word I had in my notes in that scene was “thrusting.”

Uh, Bill?

Latoya: So, is there a reason why Bill’s maker sense isn’t going off while Jessica is chained up by the most pathetic hate group on the planet?

Joe: He’s much too busy eating brides in New Orleans to notice. He’s winning the “worst maker ever” title from Pam.

Carly: It so refreshing to see Bill in a different role. I’ll put it out there, I’ve read the books and have never, ever, ever enjoyed Bill. Outside from book-Bill I think tv-Bill’s character a bit grasping and cheesy. Looking at Bill’s character on the show, the beaten down, chivalrous line he is constantly given is so worn out at this point. I would love to see him be the power hungry, zealot they are hinting he may have within him. That being said, I’m calling it now that this is all an act and the Bill I’m tired of will turn up next week – because of Sookie’s “magical snatch.” Again. *sigh*

Joe: Yeah I like this evil Bill. I also like slightly more moral Eric. It’s interesting to see him give “WTF?!” faces to all the other vampires.

Does This Count as Long Distance?

Latoya: Oh Jesus and Laffy. I wish y’all were on another show, where your love could have survived.

Carly: Cosign on that Latoya. Every time they have Jesus make a guest appearance I curse Alan Ball for killing him off.

*Facepalm*

Latoya: “Now you are a member of two minorities!” This is when I miss hardware store working Tara. Speech, speech, speech!

Wait, don’t get uppity with me Tara? WTF is this racist ass bullshit this season? How did we travel this far? (Also, True Blood fans on twitter, Tara isn’t being a bitch when she’s calling out a passive aggressive racist. Nor is uppity a cute little turn of phrase.)

Joe: From my notes: “Coded word alert!” Tracy the one who owns that clothing store Tara owns in the book I think. Perhaps they’ll glamour it into Tara’s possession. That would be a fun way for Tara to coincide with the book.
