Sookie, Get Your…Chopsticks?: The Racialicious Roundtable For True Blood 5.10

Latoya: Hmm, good question. The Authority seems mired in their internal business–who has the time to create new directives?

Tami: Um, this may be off topic, but as long as Eric Northman lives on True Blood, I will be watching this show. That’s one helluva viking–even when on his knees, tripping on spiked goddess blood…maybe especially then…

Latoya: You’re only saying that because he keeps his hair trimmed now!

Alea: Nora is strong enough to hold Eric’s mouth open? I’m sure the bag under his eyes are supposed to connote that he’s in a weakened state, but I still don’t really buy it.

Latoya: They are blowing through that special Lilith V pretty quickly, aren’t they?

Alea: Has the amount in the vial decreased noticeably at all?

Random Aside #1Carly: Am I the only one who thought Bill’s sweater was so very Star Trek-y? Honestly, it was disorienting seeing him all covered… he’s all about that top button undone (Really, do a google image search for “Bill True Blood”)

Latoya: Taking your word for it.

Godric vs. Lilith

Latoya: FUCK YEAH GODRIC! He really is Jesus in this one.

Joe: Oh, ew. First, I watch the first episode of The Dresden Files (which prominently features a delightful evisceration) and now this, with the ever-naked and silent Lilith. Blehh.

Latoya: Why did that play out like Godzilla vs. Godzuki? (And wait, the Dresden Files is on? I think I need to watch Alphas before committing to a new series though.)

Carly: I am so ready for something awful to happen to Nora. Talk about only giving her one note to work with. Well… minus the crazy sex with her brother in the beginning….

Alea: Cosign.

Relationship Foul!

Latoya: Russell and Steve are dancing to Katy Perry. Whyyyyy? And Steve really, really should have held out for Jason Stackhouse.

Joe: I literally said the same thing. Surely thousands of years would improve your musical taste. At least, what you play as romance music. Also, are there no other gay vampires in the world? They seemed to settle on each other, and hard, like, after an hour.

Latoya: You know Talbot would not have stood for this. Neither would Jar-Talbot.

Alea: I secretly really love “Teenage Dream.” Also, Steve is attracted to power and Russell loves being adored. Also, they’re the only two gay male vampires in The Authority’s inner circle. It makes a certain kind of sense.

Tami: Aaaand of course they cut to a long shot rather than show them kissing up close. Quite contrast to Tara’s short-lived relationship with a woman.

’12 Bonnie And…Bonnie?Latoya: So, Pam and Tara are going to do the damn thing.

Joe: I would watch a spin off. “Watch My Racist Vampire Mom after Enlightened on HBO!”

Alea: Ditto. Pam is finally warming up to the role.

Latoya: I’m still a little blown about all this loyalty to Pam, but whatever. It’s getting more interesting, so I will go with it. When do we start the letter campaign to HBO?

Tami: “I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout birthing no baby vampires.” Jesus.

Carly: It makes me sad to think that possibly very few viewers even know what that is a reference to.

Latoya: Confession–I didn’t. My only experience with GWTW is The Wind Done Gone.

Alea: “Ice your clam?” What in the hell? And when is Ginger going to learn to stop screaming about shit like…being covered in blood and viscera?

Latoya: I just put on “Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangsta” in honor of Tara. She played his ass like Tiddlywinks.
