The pie scene was so true to life, as was the numbness of having to deal with all the neighbours. <br /><br />I love Lafayette. He's got a good soul, and he looks damn good in a suit! My favourite character so far. <br /><br />What I found interesting was the range of sexuality shown after the funeral. It's a common emotion to want to have sex at a time like that -- to feel close to someone, to feel something, anything. <br /><br />We saw one end of,the spectrum -- anonymous sex with a stranger. OK, she wasn't completely a stranger, but Jason couldn't remember her name that morning. I really dislike him. I have yet to find one thing about him even slightly redeeming. <br /><br />The midldle of the spectrum was the friends with benefits sex. But, I liked that Sam was no longer going to play Tara's game. "If we do this, we really did this."<br /><br />Finally, the other end. Losing one's virginity to someone one has such strong feelings for. Absolutely lovely scene. Very romantic, and not a little erotic.<br /><br />By the way, I am back to thinking that Sam and the dog are somehow linked. Why else would a dog stand beside Bill outside the house?ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454170781697615407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12020629883808159362011-01-05T05:46:44.758-05:002011-01-05T05:46:44.758-05:00Anna Paquin did an amazing job and I laughed out l...Anna Paquin did an amazing job and I laughed out loud when she told them to shut the fuck up. And then I nearly cried with the pie scene. And I can definitively relate to Sookie´s numbness. When my grandma died, I spent two days totally numb and I just felt I wasn´t really there.<br />Finally, how sad is it that the people think the worst of her while giving her food and offering condolences.

Also a hard one to watch as well, given that I have a certain anniversary myself in the next few weeks.<br /><br />Losing a loved one is hard at the best of times but damn, Sookie really didn't catch a break at all.<br /><br />Seeing your grandmother murdered like that is bad but having all the neighbours blame you for it was another thing. <br /><br />Sookie was a lot more gracious in that situation than she should've been. I would've ran them from the funeral. I smiled when Sookie told them to shut the fuck up. Believe me, I've felt like that and I didn't have to deal with the neighbours from hell.<br /><br />Sookie had some brilliant moments. I related to her feeling numb and then breaking down in the kitchen. I also thought that her and Bill's first sex scene was handled better than I expected it to be. And he bit her to boot.<br /><br />A lot of what Jason was feeling in the episode was also believable but it was way out of order for him to have hit Sookie and blame her for Adelle's death. Not Sookie's fault.<br /><br />I don't have to be a genius to deduce what happened between Sookie and Uncle Bartlett and her hatred for him is more than justified.<br /><br />Tara and Lafayette are exactly the two people anyone needs around them during a time like this. Lafayette with the Valium and Tara's just plain brilliance. I love those two. Tara shooed everyone out and yelled at Jason. Respect.<br /><br />I don't believe her mother has an actual demon inside and it was sad to see Tara believe it eventually though. Her and Sam slept together because they didn't want to be alone.<br /><br />I like Sam a lot and while Bill can be a bit of a jerk, Sam really should've backed off as well.<br /><br />Crass of Andy to accuse Jason of killing his own grandmother. Andy's a bit of a question mark for me. I'm beginning to wonder if he's had fangbanger urges, hences his civility towards Bill. 10/10.shawnlunn2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/14242367250345323622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48807988627671809582009-06-06T15:01:00.613-04:002009-06-06T15:01:00.613-04:00This was the best episode yet.
