Quotations Marks – The one where we take a break from the reality that was this week
I couldn’t help but use this image from last week’s True Blood of Lafayette’s ‘visit’ to the office at Fangtasia, as the scene, and the quote, was probably the funniest moment on television this week. He has got to be one of the most quotable characters on the air today; I’m sure he’ll continue to show up in this column week after week.
“So if I’ve got even a ‘Jew at an Al-Qaeda Pep rally’ shot at getting my black ass up out of this mother fucker, I’m taking it.”
- Lafayette
“When it comes to men, I’ve got a long history of putting the cart so far out in front that the horse can’t see it, so now I”m just trying to get it right.”
- Tara
True Blood – Can someone just put Bill out of our misery?
“Keep This Party Going” (Season 2, Episode 2)
True Blood has gotten off to a great start in its second season. The Eric/Lafayette storyline is very intriguing, and I’m looking forward to where it might be going. Jason Stackhouse is walking down a path that threatens to open a divide between those he loves and what he believes. Maryann and Sam have a history whose surface we’re just beginning to scratch. But, Bill … Well, Bill just kind of sucks.
True Blood returns with a … fang
The second season of HBO and Alan Ball’s vampire drama True Blood premiered last night, and we were immediately thrust into another murder mystery (It also allowed me to use a ridiculously bad pun as a post title, and how can you turn down that?). Several ongoing storylines were introduced setting up the rest of the second season, as well as a few hold overs from last season. Fans of a particular character have reason to rejoice going forward. I’m excited to see where the season is going, though with one specific exception.
