[Note:  Good grief!  I thought I'd posted this already.  Well, it's a week and a half  late, but just pretend it's, oh, say, July 1st, as you read.]
When I read Television Without Pity’s “recaplet” of this week’s episode, I wondered if it was written by the fabulous Raelle Tucker.  It was!
Sadly, though, we do not [...]

Can you tell I’m just not that into this show?  I’m not sure why.  There are characters I love, but they aren’t ones I need to see every week.  I started watching the show because I love Raelle Tucker, and the two scripts she wrote last year (”Cold Ground” and the season finale) were the [...]

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 [...]

Tina the cat and Dean the dog—dear God, please don’t let Sookie name any more pets.
The first two scenes of this episode nearly made me puke, for two different reasons, and I will not be rewatching them.  Not to fear, I can recap them because they are, sadly, burned into my brain. Thank goodness [...]

So, apparently vampires can be killed by fire.  Last week I wasn’t sure if that was the case.  The four bodies found in the ashes of the house that vampires Malcolm, Diane, and Liam had bought were thought to be the new owners, plus Bill, who had reluctantly left Merlotte’s Bar & Grill with them.  [...]

I feel like I should make a True Blood primer, something like an organization chart or Venn diagram. But dang, it would get complicated! So for now, you’ll just have to do with it.

We left Bill and Sookie by Bill’s fireplace starting to make love. They complete the act. And don’t [...]

This is the episode I’ve been waiting for, the one written by co-producer Raelle Tucker. Raelle was my favorite writer on Supernatural until she left after the second season. I had high expectations for the episode and Raelle did not disappoint.
Sookie is in shock when she finds her Gran dead on the floor, [...]

Unlike last week, I actually understand where the title for this week’s episode comes from. Jason, high on V, stops to admire a magnolia tree. Its trunk starts to undulate and when he looks up, he sees sparks flying out of the blossoms. It’s nearly as good as watching the movie [...]

I admit I’m not the brightest bulb in the box when it comes to literary innuendo, but I have no idea where they got the title for this episode. Unless, of course, by “Dragon House” they mean “Fangtasia.”

Jason Stackhouse is arrested for the murder of Dawn the waitress. (We saw that [...]
