Praise Billith: The Racialicious True Blood Roundtable For 5.12

Hot Emo Viking Vampires!

Alea: Oh shit.  Eric’s little cave of domestic and foreign currency is mountainous!  And, really, Nora’s going to throw shade over Pam being a “former prostitute?”  The look on her face when Tara talks back to Eric is priceless, but does anyone else think it’s strange that being vampire family automatically makes Eric’s past wrongs vis-a-vis Tara seemingly forgotten?

Tami: Alea, apparently. Though I’m glad to hear somebody finally say “Be nice to Tara.”

Alea: Why is Sookie dressed like she’s going to a Sunday School prom, again? Aaaand Jason sees his parents full-time now?

Kendra: Everyone has to have a power.

Tami: These Stackhouse phantoms are going to become tiresome.

Alea: Dear gods, Eric seems super-emotional–for Eric–about the possibility of Bill “losing himself.”  I wonder where their bromance is going to go from here.

Tami: I want the Eric who gave no fucks about anyone (save maybe Pam) back. I’m no fan of Emo Eric, especially if he’s going to waste his new-found emotions on Bill Compton.

Kendra: Between his Godric visions and the reappearance of Nora, I doubt we’ve seen the last of Emo Eric.

Alea: Tara is super Pam-centric so far this episode.  I think romance is in the air!  Why is Jason holding a honeybear?  “If I wanna be a fool, then I will be a fool.  That is my god-given right as an American”–thanks for clearing up what this whole damn season’s been about [though “American” can be replaced with “faerie,” “werewolf,” “vampire,” and any other number of nouns].

Alea: Bill is much more believable as the smooth and cunning master of political intrigue than he is as a general rallying the troops.

Tami: “…our human livestock…”

Alea: Yes, Pam, all roads must lead to fucking Sookie.

This Is How Skynet Disposes Of Old Models

Alea: While this convo between Alcide and T-1000 doesn’t quite do it for me, it does tie up all of the various storylines about the difficulties of contemporary parenthood that have popped up this season–Holly and her boys, the deceased Stackhouses and Jason and Sookie, Luna and Emma, Godric and his progeny, Pam and Tara, Bill and Jess, Andy’s unintentional fatherhood.

Tami: Can Robert Patrick get some sort of career award for portraying shifters?

Raise your hand if you think Papa Herveaux–with a shower and shave–is actually hotter than his pup.

Alea: Rikki = the Faces of Death?

Alea: “That train has already sailed.”  Indeed, Jason.  He’s kinda making sense, but he also seems crazy as eff.

Alea: I love that Steve had Emma for, like,two seconds before sitting for a family photo with her and Russell.  He was so, so hungry for love and companionship.

Tami: I am as unimpressed by FlyVision as I am by 3D. They both make me kinda woozy.

Haven’t we already done Jason as anti-vampire bigot?

Kendra: That’s really the only other option for humans on this show, it seems. You’re either 100% behind Sookie and her drama or you’ve got some sort of anti-vamp and/or racism thing going on.
