Season 2 begins! Two key items revealed: Bill recycles. Eric highlights his hair. Ha! And Todd Lowe, who plays Terry Bellefleur, the shell-shocked Army vet who wears a petrified alligator penis around his neck, is in the opening credits. Yay!
Whew! The leg with the painted toenails in Detective Andy’s car is not Lafayette. Yay! It is Jeanette, the voodoo lady who cured Tara’s mother of alcoholism. They ripped out her heart, and from the look on her face, they did it while she was alive. (I’ve been watching My Bloody Valentine 3D (but not 3D) this weekend. I think I’ve seen enough missing hearts for one year.)
So where is Lafayette? Chained to a big wheel in what I think is the cellar of Fangtasia. He sure looks different without makeup and a kick-ass scarf on his head. I think I prefer the latter. But why is he in this God-forsaken place with no water and one crapper?
Jason has found Jesus. Well, not the Jesus who preaches love acceptance; the Jesus who says vampires must be destroyed. Jason is still mourning Amy, but her horrid treatment of Eddie was part of the reason I lost interest in the series last year. I’m not sure I’m going to like where this “Fellowship Of The Sun” story may be going.
We get some of the backstory of Sam and Maryann. We still don’t know what the hell Maryann is, but she seems to be adverse to towels. (On a shallow note, Michelle Forbes is looking a bit bedraggled.)
Detective Andy is becoming wacko. Whoever thought the voice of reason in the Bon Temps police force would be Larry of “Larry, my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl” fame?
Sookie and Bill make up, then break up when Sookie learns Bill had to kill and turn Jessica, then make up again. Then have another fight when she realizes Bill killed her Uncle Bartlett. Bill gives her one of the most beautiful speeches in the history of ever, telling her she has awakened something in him that had been dormant for 140 years. Both Sookie and I swoon. They have hot sex. Bill bites Sookie, drinks her blood, then transfers it to her via a kiss. In both cases the blood flows down their faces. Good luck getting that blood stain out of the white bedspread.
Hoyt and Jason bemoan the loss of Rene (but not Lafayette, who also worked the road gang). Will I still see Hoyt for the sweet, naive guy his is now that I’ve seen Jim Parrack as a succubus (yes, a male succubus!) on Supernatural? No problemo! Hoyt is just as sweet and adorable as ever. He tries to talk Jason into staying away from the vampire-hating church. And declines a romp in the hay with Shawnelle (who’s played by Betsy Rue, of naked My Bloody Valentine 3D fame), saying he prefers girls who are nicer.
Eric’s apprearance is small, but extraordinary. He colors his hair (so much for being a “natural blond”) and grossly eats one of his captives Um, how is he supposed to be one of the good guys, adored by millions? Oh, he’s played by 6′4″ Alexander Skarsgård, the guy voted Sweden’s most beautiful person. Or something like that.
