This season of Trueblood is hmmm what word or words do I want to use? Well, Sookie and Bill’s relationship has taken a very strange turn. They were very much in love until werewolves, a king vampire and near death got in their way. From the previews from the latest episode, I’m wondering if Sookie will ever love Bill again and what the sexy vampire Eric is up to. Is he trying to get Sookie all to himself?
There have been hints about Eric’s feelings towards Sookie. The very tall, blond vampire is quite sexy and I’m not sure if he’s a good guy. Last season, he seemed like a good guy where as in the first season he seemed evil, but now I’m not sure anymore. He definitely has an agenda, but it’s not clear what his plans are.
Werewolves, Sam’s family and a very psychotic vampire have entered this season of Trueblood. The psychotic vampire we are led to believe is dead, but I’m wondering if he really is gone. Wait, aren’t vampires in Trueblood dead so when they are killed by someone are they really, super dead then? I’ve been reading so many different versions of vampires where they aren’t dead or they are the walking dead that I’ve forgotten what the vampires in Trueblood are.
Well, this psychotic vampire, Franklin, was Cromwell in The Tudors. I have to say he doesn’t make a sexy vampire, but he does make a believable crazy bloodsucker. He wanted Sookie’s friend, Tara, to be his vampire bride. In the beginning, they had a fun, hot one nighter, but Franklin is a bit strange and Tara picks up on his weirdness. Before he turns her into a vamp, she beats him with some kind of weapon. We don’t see his dead body so this makes me wonder if he’ll be back later in the season.
The werewolves behave like uneducated, southern hicks, who get their kicks off drinking vampire blood and killing. Patrick Swayze’s brother, Don, is one of the werewolves and a cast member from Ugly Betty as Conner Owens, who was Wilhelmina Slater’s love interest and Cooter on Trueblood is another familiar face. Cooter is the leader of a werewolf pack and Conner plays the southern hick well.
Sam saves his half-brother from dog fighting. His brother and his mother are shape-shifters just like Sam. After getting to know his family, Sam figures out that his brother is being coerced into shifting and participating in dog fighting after he’s in Pit bull form. Sam saves his brother from a fight after shifting himself into a Pit bull and entering into the owner’s home where many dogs are housed for the deadly sport. Sam releases all the dogs before he breaks up the dog fight where his brother is battling a Rottweiler.
I’m not sure what I think of this season. Bizarre was my first reaction and I’m a bit confused by where the story is going for Sookie and Bill. And I’m wondering what other crazy shit is waiting for us in the coming episodes. However, I’m still thirsty for more of the Southern vampire tales.
