Wow, wow and just one more wow for good measure. This show continues to impress me in so many different ways. I'll give a summary before giving a score which I promise will be really high.
After the scrap at Jessica's parent's house, Bill is off driving like a maniac yelling at Sookie. She gets out of the car and decides to walk (sure...) the 20 miles back to Bon Temps where she gets clawed by a bull-headed creature. Sookie attracting more supernatural things; that's a shocker. Bill brings Sookie to Eric since she is badly injured and rejecting his blood. Eric gets a healer (who is human), and after she pours some liquid on the wound, Sookie is perfectly fine (who needs real doctors?). When she wakes up, she finds out that Lafayette is chained in the basement. In exchange for releasing our resident male vampire prostitute, Sookie agrees to go to Dallas with the stipulation that Bill comes too and she receives $10,000 (she's definitely not pushing her luck).
Jason begins having doubts at the Light of Day conference after having nightmares about Eddie, the vampire Amy killed in season 1. The Newlin's use their words and Jason's stupidity to cajole him into staying. While I'm talking about the Light of Day, I have a really big problem with the portrayal of religion. I'm not religious per se, but the way religious people are portrayed to very narrow and idiotic. There is an overwhelming majority of devout Christians in the show that are completely illogical i.g., Tara's mother, and the whole Light of Day cult. I'm guessing this negative portrayal to due to churches' opposition to gay marriage though you can't really blame them since the Bible is pretty specific.
Marianne is once again up to no good. She has a party/rave minus the cool music and Tara finally begins to see what kind of lifestyle Marianne and Eggs both lead. Marianne reminds me of this video (one of the weirdest things ever) where everyone just starts dancing. Once again, the show proves itself not to be a family show, and boobs are everywhere. There's this weird thing going on with some people at the party with their eyes turning completely black. I'm guessing Marianne is using sex or something to control people and the black is an indication of being under control. I still don't know what to make of Eggs. Is he good, bad, under a spell?
Jessica gets lonely (surprise) and goes to Sam's bar and Hoyt really likes her, even after learning she is a vampire. They go back to Bill's house where Hoyt tells her all the different games we can play on the Wii (great non-intrusive product placement). She starts kissing him and her fangs come out, and a bit later with Bill and Sookie kissing as they come through the door, see them, and all hell breaks loose.
Sam is in a foul mood and moping around, so he decides to go for a trip, but before he goes, the dog he impersonates wants to go with a little pond. He turns back to a human once he is in a pond and when he turns around, there's Daphne, the new waitress, standing right there. She wants to join him and when she takes off her shirt (another woman in the town that doesn't wear a bra) and the audience sees similar claw marks to the ones inflicted on Sookie earlier in the episode.
Score: 9.9/10 (I'm reserving a perfect score for something special)
Next Episode: Another show that won't air next week (wtf are wrong with the networks?) Anyways, it looks there will be guns and more craziness.
