This World Is Not Enough: The Racialicious Roundtable For True Blood 5.9
Carly: Honestly, are they just rewording the same paragraph for Luna? I can appreciate she’s taking charge and all, but she’s gotta have more to say. And how much time has passed since she’s seen her daughter now? I get lost in TB time, but you’d think she’d have some kind of check in with her daughter considering she was almost shot.
Joe: Just one on-screen phone call. And I understand you don’t have to pay the child actress if she’s in her husky wolf form, but, I mean, we’d like to see her at least a little bit… I mean, damn.
Sigh.
Alea: “So what?” That’s Arlene’s response to Terry saying that he shot an unarmed female civilian in the head? For the amount of moralizing she’s done about other characters’ foibles, her ethics get pretty lax when it’s convenient for her.
Tami: Yeah, I’m not sure how Terry and Arlene go back to being the cute, comic relief couple on the show after this. Terry is a war criminal, and Arlene is pretty indifferent to that information, as well as down with him killing again.
Latoya: Helll yeah, Arlene!!!!! Way to actually do something for once!
Joe: Some TV angel heard Carly’s wanting for strong female characters last week! With Arlene and Luna’s naked beatdown, I’m liking the go-get-’em attitude of the characters this week. That includes Andy as well, actually.
Alea: Ifrit body disposal. How convenient.
Tara and Pam Need To Leave Bon Temps
Latoya: Okay, I don’t like the outfits in lieu of characterization, but I will admit that shit is fresh, and I will be copying elements of both companies.
Alea: I am so thrilled with the improvement in Tara’s wardrobe that it possibly my favorite thing about this season.
Latoya: Oh wait–I just looked at the still and realized it’s like S & M chic with a twist of appropriation…and she’s dressing like Pam. Ignore last commen,t and carry on. Also, we finally we acknowledge Pam is in pain over Eric. Progress on episode 9!
Alea: “Just because we drank a bitch together does not make us Oprah and Gayle. Get the fuck back to work.” Priceless. And Tara had a comeback ready! Granted, “Suck me, vampire Barbie” is not the greatest, but it’s nice to see their relationship warming a skosh.
Alea: That poorly dressed emo kid is the new sheriff?
Tami: He’s like a Dollar Tree Russell Brand. No gravitas. Eric Northman he ain’t.
For The RecordAlea: Eric…is the voice of reason and empathy. The post-piggyback Beric dynamic is a rather strange one.
Latoya: I love the GRITS sticker on the laptop. Also nice to see a return to politics.
Alea: If, for some reason, Andy/Jason slash isn’t already out there, I hope “Bellefleur’s bitch boy” is the beginning of something wonderful. Is this instance of police brutality supposed to be bringing them closer together?
Gratuitous Aside #2
Latoya: Umm, who is playing Baby Alcide? Can they cast him in everything?
Alea: Yes, please.
Joe: He has a magical eyebrow situation.
Alea: Young Debbie looks like the country version of Topanga from Boy Meets World.
Call The Hogs On This Subplot!
Latoya: So Sookie is on the same hog farm with Hoyt? Are they attempting to tie this plot up? And yeah Sook–you miss those fairy powers about now, don’t ya?
Joe: I wonder if they recharge.
