His name is Benedict. Eggs is his nickname.

Loving the second season.  Superior to the first in every way.  Its odd though because Bill and Sookie are my least favourite characters.  Take them out and the show would be better off for it.

"Lafeyette is the man (even if he is kind of a girlie man). My favorite character for sure."

One of mine too.

Just caught up on the last two episodes.  I'm also loving this season much more than season 1.  Also a  Lafeyette fan; he's definitely my favorite character.  Really liked Godric; I understand why he felt he had to go but sad that he actually did it.  Would have been nice to have him around for future episodes.  Maryanne freaks me out.  I like the storyline but can't wait for someone to take her out.

Enjoyed the episode.  I'm really enjoying the Marianne line now.  I think the reason I was not into it before was the other story line had my interest and the fact that it was the same thing week after week (we got the point that she had control over people).  Now the story has really taken off and I'm on board.  The two stories are both tying together very nicely and I think these last two episodes will be great.

Terry's delivery of "Bullshit. God has horns." line made me laugh.

So what was that crazy force emanating from Sookie's hand?

Anyone believe Andy when he said done with drinking?  Heh.

Wow. Easily the worst episode of the season. It was hilarious but unintentionally so.

This must have been the Ed Wood episode.

 I agree with Lou.  I'm hoping this was not a "jump the shark" episode, but I don't know how you can redeem this towns people go crazy story line.  I at least hope the Queen is not a deus ex machina solution to the problem.

I'm not normally the kind of person to get caught up in the emotion of a show(I'm such a liar) but, I almost lost it when Eric started pleading with Godric to not go through with it.

It seemed very intentionally funny to me (which is an odd move when you're closing in on the climax of the Maryanne story). Not to say that everyone has to find it funny but that was certainly their intent.

"Eggs" Benedict Talley.

TrueBlood season one was so faithful to Dead Until Dark that I'm surprised at how season two has so little to do with the book series (To be fair a word-for-word adaption of any of the books couldn't fill 14 hours of a TV season, book #2 especially).

Ahh, I've been reading spoilers from another site, do you really want to know?? (About the crazy hand glowing thingy, not Andy's drinking)

I can wait for the 2 last episodes, I was just wondering if there was any speculation (not spoilers) on Sookie's new powers.

I agree that this particular episode was intentionally funny, especially all the scenes with Jason Stackhouse (and he was in it a lot).  This whole episode was played for laughs. The tone felt like "Shaun of the Dead" to me.
Much like The Sopranos, True Blood is very, very funny when it wants to be. However you usually have to listen closely for the "jokes".
IMO, this was the best episode this season, if not ever. It ratcheted up the action/suspense without jumping the shark. As I was watching it I said to my wife, "I didn't think they'd ever be able to top Season 1, but they just did."
I just hope this "queen" business doesn't let us down.

Tara now officially may qualify as the dumbest character on any show.

It's getting predictable that every time Bill is supposed to be doing something, somebody will inevitibly keep him from getting back to Sookie.  It's starting to remind me of that Batman movie where he is trying to get rid of a bomb and something always gets in the way. 

Kidding aside, I like True Blood but I feel whenever there is some momemtum built up, the next scene almost always drags the pace down. 

I am really hoping for a good finale for this season.  It will be interesting to see what happens to all the towns people when the next episode is done.

Wow.  That was garbage.

Sure, the last episode was intentionally funny and campy.  Jason strutting with the nail gun.  The whole God/smiting thing.  But, this episode was equally UNintentionally funny to the point of being utterly miserable.  I typically enjoy the cornball dialogue in a guilty pleasure way...but, the Queen playing Yahtzee?  Eric's frazzled doo from flying?  Jason continuing his dumbass streak?  Annoying Queen comments about everything?  Jessica's tantrum?  The above-mentioned Bill delay (again)?

And then, the end...I dunno what that egg is.  I don't care what that egg is.  But, I do think it was an apt metaphor for the egg this show laid with last nights episode.

Yeah, that episode really sucked.  I know the pre-finale ep[isode of most one hour dramas tends to be complete and utter filler; but that episode, combined with the previous episode (they have Sam, no they don't, they have Sam, no they don't), was 100 minutes of nothing.

And yes, Tara immediately went to the bottom of a very deep pile of unlikeable, moronic characters.  She'll be useless to me in the next season.

I haven't read the books.. but Tara so unlikable and, at this point, ignorant that it just makes her hard to care about.   Her actions in this episode as written just.. they don't make sense.  

She's seen weird shit, vampires, etc.  But she somehow believes that she can go pull Eggs... who she met because of Marianne.. away from Marianne all the sudden? 

Makes NO sense.

The thing that kills me is that when there is really interesting things happening, it's pushed to the side.  Hopefully we find out in the finale what Sookie can do with that light that she was able to annoy Marianne with.  I'd also wonder what's up with Eric making Lafayette sell the V.  Is it Eric's blood?
The scene with the Queen dragged.  There were some important things said about vampires that made them sound like outcases even among other supernatural beings. Even when discussing how to destroy Marianne had it's moments.  Then it gets diluted by her offering people to Bill every couple of minutes.

I really hope that next season doesn't bring any other supernaturals in.  It's getting crowded as it is.

Wasn't the best episode, but they can't all be winners.  I loved when Eric was talking about the "tiny humans" being so delicious.

I'm pretty sure it is.  Sookie has made several comments about how Eric tricked her into drinking his blood so he could have a connection with her.  It sounds like a set up for Eric to have connection with a good part of the town.  (Or Eric's being a pawn for another baddie for next season)

Paul -
That might be why Eric is helping Sam in trying to find out how to get rid of Marianne.  He has his own interests.

If it follows book 3 of the series you're going to be disappointed

Just caught up last night.  The Maryanne storyline still not doing it for me.  It's a shame that's become the focal point of the season.  At this point I'll watch the finale but have no interest at all in how it wraps up.

I haven't even finished the finale but jeez, this is just awful. With such a pointless ending to the Maryanne plot the whole second half of the season has just been worthless.
