I know this can be considered “old news” but if you are like me, you like any news about True Blood that you can get. Life Story magazine put out an issue mostly about Twilight, but there are 6 pages of an episode guide to Season 2, complete with comments by Alan Ball.
Alan Ball’s comments about episode 209: “I Will Rise Up”. “My favorite episode of [the] season. I love the whole story between Eric and Godric, and Sookie gets to see Eric’s human side. Then there’s the whole choice by Godric to move on; his attitude of, ‘I’m done and I want to embrace whatever is going to happen to me now, even if it means oblivion, even if it means the end.’ That last sequence was tough to shoot, because we shot part of it on a building rooftop in Los Angeles – where we basically had 20 minutes to get it because of the light – and then we shot part of it on a stage with green screen, then we went to Dallas and shot background plates so that you would have recognizable landmarks. Then there were all the special effects technology questions of how we were going to have Godric go up in flames. So it was tough, but I thought it paid off.”

it was a tad clunky. Dare I say, Episode 11 of last season clunky? But enough of the snark, let us review the events. Scary women feature heavily this week, including the diabolical Maryanne, who just won’t piss off, and to my absolute horror has the temerity to DRESS UP IN GRAN’S CLOTHES. Seriously bitch, that is just too much. I hope Sookie kicks your elegantly clad ass when she gets home. Sarah Newlin continues to creep me out with her shiny yellow hair and clothes and little breathy voice, and yes ma’am, we were right, like every woman in the True Blood universe, she wants some of dopey Jason’s Mr Happy. Le Sigh…I knew his virtuous front wouldn’t last. And the third scary woman is…hiss, spit, lets save her for the end shall we?
