Its Latin, not Greek. The worship of Dionysus began in Thebes in Greece a few centuries before, with the Maenads and women dancing in the local mountain, but it reached new peaks in the Roman Republic so it makes sense that she used itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-150170429179418272012-03-13T15:13:38.876-04:002012-03-13T15:13:38.876-04:00This was the first episode that I absolutely loved...This was the first episode that I absolutely loved. <br /><br />Gruesome start! It was almost too much, but that was only until Lafayette started digging into the leg for the bone. I had to look away for that bit. <br /><br />I'm beginning to love Eric and Pam. What fantastic characters. And the hair scene was hilarious. Love the new look, Eric. The couple scene with Eric and Bill was great!<br /><br />Eric McDonald is a great addition. It would never have occurred to me that anyone could be as dumb as Jason. ("What farm?" was too funny). <br /><br />Maryanne is intriguing. Looking forward to seeing what she is, although food and sex certainly turn her own. Well, thinking about it, food and sex turn a lot of people on!<br /><br />The Latter Day Leadership Conference had me wiping tears from my eyes. The honesty rings, the little concert in the evening, the game (played to, of all things, a Little Texas tune!) all rang so true for those types of conferences. Not to mention, the faux caring and concern of the couple leading it -- two more great characters, although Steve seems a bit more interested in Jason than a married man should. <br /><br />Jessica's confrontation with her parents was touching. We learned so much about her childhood in just a few moments -- the belt and the cowed mother. Helps explain a lot about why she is the way she is. <br /><br />But, the line of the night in a show with loads of great lines was Andy's "epileptic on meth." What an image. I'm laughing again just typing this. <br /><br />PS. - I love the opening song and montage. Every time I see it, I notice something different. The little boy in the KKK hood is my least favourite image. Prejudice is made, not born.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454170781697615407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43894782058821444262011-02-02T05:43:57.500-05:002011-02-02T05:43:57.500-05:00Really good episode.

I also think Bill will glamour the family (remember the vampires in Fangtasia keep their humans pretty glamoured up?). I smell trouble after the negative of Bill to allow Sookie to take the trip to Dallas with Eric. It just seems like she's his sex slave (she's mine!). I have not found the Maryanne storyline that enticing, but she seems like some mythical character that feeds on sex vibes (like a succubus). I guess I would like to see more development of some of the vampire characters (Eric and Pam are way too hilarious not to develop them more fully).Cecilianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-92182687578008815812009-06-23T16:32:17.611-04:002009-06-23T16:32:17.611-04:00Not really her...

So...Not really her... <br /><br />but Jessica's family. <br /><br />Sookie wouldn't approve of him killing so glamour seems like an option. <br /><br />Or she'd yet again overlook this incident like she did her Uncle and Jessica. Since she feels guilty enough as it is....Chezanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-89412308554558197502009-06-23T14:50:59.890-04:002009-06-23T14:50:59.890-04:00Do you mean that Bill will glamour Sookie so she d...Do you mean that Bill will glamour Sookie so she doesn't remember?
