Bill's meeting the Queen was also pretty good. I especially liked her entourage standing by the pool, and she had a good line about Eisenhower. And also a more or less complete explanation of what Maryann is, and some hints for Bill about how to combat the Dionysian psycho.
Back in Bon Temps, it was nice to hear Sookie complain about the five hours it took her phone to receive Bill's text message - nice, because it's gratifying to know that not only we humans in the real world have these problems, so do vampires and mind readers in this alternate world down South.
But Maryann is no joking matter, as the tension ratchets up for the season finale in two weeks. She's recaptured Tara, and now Lafayette has bedazzled eyes, too. This leaves just Sam and Sookie, Jason and Andy, to combat her. But Bill's on his way back, and Eric will no doubt be in this battle. How will they prevail over the immortal maenad?
The Queen said something about illusion....

Sir, have you read the Harris books that True Blood is based on? I think my favorite scene last night was also Bill and Eric's exchange outside of the Queen's house - I especially enjoyed Eric fixing his hair after his "flight".
Nope, I haven't - I'm trying to enjoy the television on its own terms...
Welcome to Infinite Regress, Thundy!
Funny you say that Paul,
I read so many books but not this series because I wanted to enjoy it too. I thought Erics comment on the teacups people was adorable but I fear Sam or Lafeyette will die in the finally. I hope not, Tara's not my favorite right now
Wonderful blog!
I agree, my favourite part of the episode was the Bill /Eric exchange. But I always find their exchanges amusing. I personally found the Queen annoying; I didn't think that the actress had enough of a presence to play a vampire that wields so much power. I'm hoping her performance in the finale will change my opinion of her though.
Thank you, Mar - and welcome to Infinite Regress. I agree with your analysis completely! :)
Dawn - yeah, it would be unfortunate to lose any of them. Andy could also perish in the finale battle.
I cannot wait to read your take on tonight's Season Finale.
Thanks - it's up now. Over here.
