True Blood Recap: Three Things I Liked About Episode 6

Before I get to my customary praise for this week’s episode, I’d like to express my disappointment with where the writers are taking the Sam and Jason storylines. Neither is holding my interest in the least. Sam’s birth parents are pure white trash who use Sam’s shapeshifting brother in dogfights. Yawn. Jason has the hots for a shewolf who’s engaged. Big whoop. Can we just skip all that crap and get to the good stuff involving Sookie, Bill, Eric and Russell? I realize the show needs secondary plots in order to let the main one breathe, but I think they could do better than family and girl trouble.

Here are three things I liked about episode six:

1. The image of Lorena wearing Sookie’s ribcage as a hat had me laughing. That Lorena really is one ice cold vamp.

2. “I hate your fu*king guts, Eric Northman!” Sookie’s weekly insult was a beauty. She uttered it with such vitriol.

3. The hissy fit pitched by Queen Sophie-Anne after she got played by Russell and Eric. I could seriously watch Evan Rachel Wood act all day long.

That’s all I got. Until next week…
