Oh good! So it’s not just me who didn’t see the sexual tension either. I just don’t get see the chemistry there with Eric/Sookie that I do with Bill/Sookie. But then again, I also don’t see the books as the Sookie/Eric story as some do. I see them as the Bill/Sookie story. I just finished Book 10, and am more convinced than ever that Sookie and Bill are meant to be.

Also, seeing the relationship between the Queen and Eric, maybe the King had the wrong Vamp kidnapped!

Agree, Liv, I also saw no sexual tension. I just saw them talking, normally.

I said the King did not say SEDUCE! Maybe Bill came there to check her out, and maybe for years, but lets see about the seduce, EH??

As if there weren’t enough sorrow in the world, it pains me to say that I share the reviewer’s take on Sookie as the center of attention. Why, indeed, does everyone orbit around her? The character doesn’t command the room, is neither Old Soul nor young fey spirit, just sorta priggishly and peevishly middle-aged. Still, Paquin pulled off a wondrously effective crying jag at Fangtasia, more credible than Eric’s disturbingly-human bit. Loved the two of them on the porch – best of both characters.

What do I know. I may be the only person here who enjoyed the Sam scenes (surprised I did, but I did.) Bill was back to his worst wooden self ( I am an ardent Bill fan, too), and Franklin Mott failed to wickedly intrigue. So far, the werewolves are just rednecks in furry drag,. For me the hot-chocolate deliciousness of Lafayette trumps the silken campiness of Talbot, but it’s early days. Also early days for King Russell, who failed to charm or frighten on his first outing.

Scene stealer: Alfre Woodward. Scene spoiler: bad camera work on the opening tableau. Could almost see the Klieg lights and sound booms. Ditto the WWII hut.

All the above IMO only. All you far more knowledgeable fans who live in rock houses, please don’t throw glass at me.

I have a hard time believing that any 1,000 year old being would be “terrified” of anything, well perhaps death, but no so much human emotion. Maybe it’s just me, but that word just doesn’t describe True Blood Eric so far (maybe book Eric?). I think that he probably is feeling Sookie’s emotions pretty intensely when she’s around him, and perhaps that’s making him uncomfortable. I wonder if he feels Lafayettes with the same intensity. Lafayette drank a lot more of his blood than Sookie did.

Saying that Eric was “pandering to the audience” (which is probably one of the reasons this article was chosen) was ludacris and shows zero insight. This guy didn’t even know what Sam’s brother stormed out of the room.

Eric’s in slowly opening up and still terrified of any human emotion so much so that he can’t even identify or speak the word “cry” Don’t do that he tells Sookie lol

marina ‘s review of the same scene:

Skarsgard has mastered the ability of expressing all manner of emotional depths without moving a muscle in his face–rendering endlessly fascinating what could have been just another dull prettyboy (see Pattinson, Robert

Why I too struggle at times with Anna’s Sookie he was a bit too harsh on her as well.

“Sorry, but the King said Bill worked for the Queen but did not say the Queen sent him to BT to seduce Sookie! He said why would the Queen let him come to BYT and get it on with a waitress! Difference!!!

So I guess that big ass file folder full of clippings, some of them decades old, the family tree and the pictures wasn’t evidence enough for you. Not to mention the fact that the king said QSA has secrets, secrets you know about, and I want to know them all…I get that we don’t want it to be true or to happen, but looking below the surface, it’s pretty undeniable that Bill and QSA are in cahoots about Sookie.

Have just watched this episode and can’t say i totally agree with this reviewer …looking forward to CE’s recap though !!!

Having never watched the Tudors didn’t know who James Frain was before but am looking forward to seeing more of him , i mean his character Franklin . Also looking forward to seeing more of the King of Mississipi and how his plans for world domination may or may not unfold .
