Fuckedupness

This week on True Blood, several instances of Silly Sookie, philosophising strippers, brand new trashy chicks in minimal clothing, and other examples of crap female role models. Plus an uber harsh yet somehow unconvincing phone dumping, a predictable frame up, Jessica glamouring a church geek and Franklin’s fetish for fruit and duct tape. Those kinky Brits…

Howdy, Americans and assorted randoms watching by nefarious means (mwahahaha), I hope you enjoyed the break from fanged bastards, furry rednecks and gore. If you were celebrating your Nation’s Holiday, I hope you got drunk and blew some shit up, as is right and proper. After a fortnight off, True Blood has now returned to a convoluted, complex and harrowing Season 3. Am I enjoying it? Well, I am a bit of a masochist (don’t bother threatening me with a spanking, I’m a bit like Lorena in that way, just sayin’), but I have found this year so far to be a dizzying, goldfish attention span ride of mostly detestable types doing either sinister or stupid things while delivering dodgy lines, and the laughs are starting to become uber thin on the swampy ground. Except for Jason. I never thought I’d say it, but thank God for his dopey bon mots. So enjoying is not a good word.

I’m engrossed certainly, twitching like a V skank after her next hit, but I’m also kinda confused and whiny. It seems the writers got fed up last year with everyone complaining about nutty church people, cod Greek mythology and long winded sequences involving nekkid zany townsfolk and decided to give us something really black and miserable and deep involving twisty vampire politics. Um okaaaaaay, but you must bring BALANCE to the Force, writers! And stop jumping around so much for chrissakes, I’m dizzy. Anyway, enough whining, I will be delivering a shorter, snappier recap from now on, as I was getting all fricking ‘War and Peace’ on your asses previously. Let’s see if I can cover the episode without too many rants, tantrums and random tangents, hmm? But before I begin, I note lots of sage, foreshadowing wisdom being doled out in this episode about human and vampire nature, the perils of love etc…but will any of it be listened to?

'Sob! He's such a bastard, my heart is broken, how could heeeee...hey wait, you're kinda hot'

We begin with an overly waxed Alcide being patched up by Sookie after his first successful attempt at saving her from her own courageous dumbassery. Oh dear, somehow Bill has ‘procured’ a phone, probably from the post coital witch in the background. He calls and dumps Sookie’s ass in the most vicious and un-Bill like manner possible (with added swears!) that it should have started alarm bells ringing immediately, but I think ole Sook is too shell shocked and weepy to notice just yet. It clearly kills him even deader to do so, but if the Mississippi people make her acquaintance and find out what she can do with her magic hands and brain…well, they find out next week. This week, I’m already wondering what Bill has got left to live for, as he’s lost every-fucking-thing. His forced descent into a self-destructive, blood drenched hell to save Sookie is noble, unavoidable, and horrible to watch, but she will not comprende, and neither does the less intelligent section of the audience. OMG he’s like, evil. What the hell happened?

Doncha love these morning-after goodies from HBO?

I don’t know ’bout y’all, but I find vampire politics utterly fascinating. Last night’s postmortem is definitely worth watching as it fits in nicely with what’s happening at Casa Russell.

UPDATED: Here’s the trailer for True Blood season 3 episode 4, “9 Crimes.”

and this is we-don’t-know-what-trailer-is trailer ;):

Lil Mirkk

Although I don’t recall a casting call going out, IMDb has Lil Mirkk listed as Trey for 4 Season 3 episodes (“It Hurts Me Too,” “9 Crimes,” “Trouble,” and the currently untitled 3.11).

A last name for the character is not listed, so I’m not sure if this is Trey Dawson, who appeared in the later books, or if he’s some other character who happens to have the same first name.

He doesn’t look how I pictured Trey, but then again, they never ask for my opinion on these things.

UPDATE: Lil Mirkk’s people have been kind enough to let us know that he’s NOT playing Trey Dawson. He’ll be another character who happens to have the same first name. Thank you to them for the clarification.
