Maudette Pickens
Maudette Pickens: we hardly knew this loyal Grabbit Kwik employee and amateur videographer extraordinaire. Yet we saw things within the first minutes that made us blush. Thanks to her and Jason watching her and Liam, we knew True Blood wasn’t just any ol’ show on HBO. It was something new. Something wild. Something to make our heart-beats race and faces flush and the adrenaline run. Although her death was before we knew her so we really didn’t care all that much, watching Jason try to talk his way out of a trip to the police station was hilarious. I don’t know if Longshadow was right and she wanted to die, but she kept a bondage hook in her living room, and that just isn’t healthy. May she resolve her many issues and rest in peace.
Dawn Greene was a vixen who defied health codes with perky buns peeking out from Merlotte’s shorts and opened her front door in her panties. It’s a good thing Hoyt didn’t work up the nerve to ask her out because she would’ve eaten him alive, and I cheered when she gave Jason just what he deserved (and laughed and cringed when Jason ended up with a big problem after her untimely demise).
Dawn Greene
Putting aside her wild-streak, she came across as a good employee and a realist, and I had to admire her spunk (Eric must’ve agreed with that assessment, as he openly admitted to “tasting” her), and I am grateful because her death is what prompted Sookie into a trip to Fangtasia. Her murder seems unfair because although she didn’t strike me as particularly kind or friendly, she wasn’t hurting anyone and seemed to have a zest for life. That sort of personality doesn’t age well, but for a 22 year old hottie, she was alright, and no one deserves pervy coroners commenting on the quality of her cold, dead breasts. Rest in peace, Dawn Greene.
Amy Burley
Amy Burley turned her back on her privileged childhood (complete with French maids) and Wellesley education to find an authentic life and a real off-road truck. Thanks to Gaia, an organic diet, and a lot of vampire blood, she considered herself enlightened. Jason wanted to lick her mind, among other things, and she looked really beautiful not having sex in teeny panties. But while she charmed Sookie and the good people of Bon Temps with her hippie smile and black bra underneath her Merlotte’s t-shirt, she kept poor Eddie chained in the basement (that was okay, though, because he was already dead and not part of the sacred circle of life). Jason seemed to truly care for her, but that didn’t make her philosophy more palatable, and putting vampire chunks down the garbage disposal is a disturbed way of saying, “I love you.” Jason really missed her, and Arlene missed having another reliable waitress, but I didn’t shed a lot of tears for that mess of psychopathy and her big bag of crazy. Good riddance. But in the spirit of sending everyone off properly, may you complete the circle of life, Amy Burley.
Cindy Marshall
Cindy Marshall was the younger sister of Drew Marshall, who everyone knew as Rene. Cindy worked at Big Patty’s Pie House and was remembered fondly by her loyal customers. Her death was shrouded in mystery and left unsolved until Rene was killed in Bon Temps. We know very little about her, only that her mother proceeded her in death and that she liked vampires. Even after murdering her, Rene spoke fondly of his “baby sister.” I assume that she was the first person Rene killed, and it seemed to be a crime of passion, but why he waited a couple of years to start strangling young women who liked vampires is still a mystery. Rest in peace, Cindy Marshall.
Dawn! I miss Dawn something fierce. There was a woman who could stand on her own.
Thanks latbfan for the obit!
Maudette is gross. Sorry, something about her just grosses me out! She also kind’a looks like this one girl I knew at work and she’s pretty gross too.
Dawn was awesome though she was trouble for any man who wanted to sample. She about had a sample of every man in Bon Temps too… like Jason, but female! LOL
Amy – I luv’d her love for Jason, but yeah her ethics & her self-proclaimed enlightenment were selective. What I fail to understand is how people can say vampires are dead in the truest sense of the word. Just bec something doesn’t have a beating heart doesn’t mean it’s dead. Plants don’t have a beating heart… neither does an amoeba or other germs and bacteria, but they are ALL part of the circle of life. Vampires have thoughts, emotions, the need to eat & sustain themselves… in terms of being alive, I’d say that’s right on. Just bec they “live” differently or aren’t human in every facet (beating heart and warmth) doesn’t mean they’re not “alive.”
Another beef I have with the whole no beating heart vamps… blood is the life, they ingest it, it circulates their entire body. How exactly does it do that without a pumping heart? And everything else is animated, so why wouldn’t the heart be beating? I think it would be. Perhaps I should write a different history on vampires and their physical anatomy. And also, when they get an erection, how exactly does the blood travel there??? And one las thing… when vampires reach climax.. guess what comes out? Very messy for us ladies, if you know what I mean.
Dawn was a bad ass, plain and simple. You could tell thats why she and Jason were on and off. She was the only girl who could just own his ass. The scene with the gun. Hilarious!
And I liked Amy. She was a manipulator but also a sweet person. The thing is that she was an addict. There’s no difference between her and someone hooked on heroin or cocaine. They might be good people, deep down, but their addiction makes them do some dark and depraved things.
You should call the ladies René´s victims not his ladies.
