"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

True Blood 3.3: Rolling Eyes and Spinning Heads

Lots of hot lovemaking in True Blood 3.3 tonight, between vampire and human, and vampire and vampire.

Vampire and human was consensual, between Franklin (James Frain) and Tara.  It was enough to make Tara's eyes roll back in her head, eyelids a flutter, but it wasn't true love, on either one's part.  Franklin's on a mission, to find out all he can about Bill.   But for whom?  King of Mississippi?  Queen of Louisiana?   The tea party?  Sorry, just threw that in...

And Bill has a surprising, and surprisingly passionate, love scene himself tonight, and not with Sookie.  It's with Lorena, Bill's beautiful vampire maker.   Bill hates her.  He set her on fire last week (no problem, she healed quickly).  She stole Bill's humanity, his family, his normal life.   Bill hates her very being.  But that doesn't stop Bill from violently screwing her, apparently from front and behind, at the same time, as he makes her head twist literally around (he can't resist the violent sex, but can't bare to look at her face).   Violent lovemaking befits vampires.  But this was one the wildest bed scenes we've thus far seen.

No bed scenes, bad or good, or forest ground scenes, either, yet, between Eric and Sookie.  He's still calling her by her last name, and she's still insisting she's Bill's.   But we'll see.

And, oh yeah the sheriff (Bud) resigned - he couldn't take it anymore.  He left with a fine parting line about gaps in the brain and polyps in the other end.   I was thinking of calling this review "gaps and polyps" but I prefer the rolling eyes and heads.

I've read the books, but I've been very curious what Ball and Co. have for the Franklin Mott character. Part of me wants to believe that he's a proxy of the vampire magistrature... figuring out what exactly has become of Bill and his new ward Jessica in wake of the shady activities occurring recently in that Parish. And he (Mott) knows about Sookie... she, as we discovered in season 2 is certainly not just telepathic. Bill and Eric know she is special but if the vampire higher ups catch wind of this...
