TRUE BLOOD Season 2, Episode 4 Thoughts

- True Blood delivered in a lot of ways this past weekend in a great episode penned by series creator Alan Ball. The main reveal showed that Maryann is the horned monster that attacked Sookie. She staged an orgy at Sookie's home for Tara's birthday. Maryann has the ability to manipulate people into acting certain ways. If she wants people to look for sex, they act in a certain way. When too many people were having a good time, she did the vibrating thing she does and people started fighting while having a cursed look in their eyes. All in all, the Maryann stuff was intriguing and you wonder if Tara will be able to escape from her orbit.

Daphne knows Sam is a shapeshifter. I enjoyed Bill and Sookie's trip to Dallas which included Jessica ordering a male escort, Sookie discovering a man that can also read people's minds, and Eric and Bill talking about how dangerous the mission is. Eric definitely has feelings for Sookie and he healed Lafayette in a bizarre scene that saw Lafayette drink his blood. The Fellowship of the Sun tried to abduct Sookie at the Dallas airport. Watching Bill teach Jessica how to glamour humans was funny and showed how their relationship has developed into a father-daughter type situation.

Jason got to move in with Mr. and Mrs. Newlin, two of the top dogs at Fellowship of the sun. He got put into a high position in the soldiers of the sun, a group assembled to kill vampires and their supporters. Sarah's dance in Jason's hallucination was hot. It is only a matter of time before these two sleep together. A war is ahead and True Blood continues to build up the stakes with several strong storylines going on at once. Here's hoping the show finds some emmy love tomorrow morning.

I will be back with thoughts on the emmy nominations, Weeds, Entourage, and the Green Day concert I saw Monday soon.
