True Blood recap: We take wardrobe cues from Lafayette’s head scarf, Marnie/Antonia’s talisman necklaces and what Jessica wore to meet the sun

Well, last week the sexual tension finally got some relief with a spared-from-staking Eric reunited in a patch of moonlight to get it on with Sookie. That’s about the only good thing that happened, with Jesus almost dying from a Grandpa-inflicted snake bite, Tommy having sex with Sam’s girl Luna while shifted into a Sam clone, and Antonia getting full control of Marnie’s body. Looks like there’s trouble ahead, so let’s just hope they give us a bit more Sookie and Eric before the inevitable chaos.

Kill Bill
-Bill’s guard, sometime-lover, and witch-undercover Katerina gets killed by an under-Antonia’s-control Sheriff Luis.
-Marnie/Antonia (let’s just call her Antonia here on in; bad tabloid names like Martonia or Antarnienia, are so ’00s) escapes from King Bill’s while Luis goes and shoots him full of silver before self-staking.
-Not to worry, this isn’t a Who Shot J.R.? Situation. Bill fully survives, and now he knows what Antonia is up to.
-Bill has Jessica over to tell her about Antonia and her powers—do we really need Jessica asking dumb questions to explain to us what’s going on? Is this a mid-season catch-up for those who haven’t been watching? Boring.
-Bill instructs his remaining sheriffs to silver themselves and tell all others to flee the state. (Hmmm, why just this state? Does she only hate Louisiana vamps?) They question his orders. (Ugg, are they really that dumb?) Also, why isn’t he calling Nan Flanagan? Doesn’t he tell her like, everything? Maybe they speed-texted.

True Blood recap: We take wardrobe cues from Debbie’s hostess dress, Grandpa’s snake ring and Sookie’s umpteenth sweatshirt

We’re at the halfway mark and the machinations of our friends in Bon Temps are coming to a head. Last week we got our first kiss between Eric and Sookie, we learned about the necromancer’s Spanish roots, and we saw Jesus and Lafayette check in at Creepy Grandpa’s B&B in Mexico.

Stopped at Second Base
-Sookie and Eric move things from the porch to the couch. She’s down to her skivvies; a little white cotton-and-lace thong and a matching bra (with a little padding, uh huh)—very virginal, and considering Eric’s amnesia it is kind of his first time at this.
-Bill barges in like a dad in a bad teen comedy, and Eric is about to stake him with the fire poker when Sookie tells him he’s his king.
-Bill locks up a now-subservient Eric, but there’s no way Sookie’s leaving without her new love interest. She and Bill fight—Sookie pokes holes in all of his excuses as to why he arrested Eric—until Bill has her escorted off the property while he makes a sad face.
-Down in the modern dungeon, Eric smells death—no, no, it’s just Pam hiding under a blanket, crying and rotting. She tries to get him to snap out of his passivity by explaining that Bill’s a dork and Eric is a Viking vampire god, but he’s done with being evil Eric, even if that means death.
-Bill Skypes with Nan—who looks very mother-of-the-bride in a silvery satin jacket and single-strand pearls. He informs her that he has the necromancer witch and Eric in his custody.
-Bill’s recommendation: The true death for an infected Eric.

True Blood recap: We take wardrobe cues from Arlene’s baby exorcism, Jesus and Lafayette’s Mexican roadtrip, and Pam’s rotting face

True Blood

The last we saw of Sook and the gang, Pam had just been given a case of The Rots from Marnie, Sookie had fended off Bill’s desire to search her house for Eric, and Jason had been given wrist-to-mouth by Jessica.

Family Ties
-Last week, Joe Lee cut short Tommy’s mama-son bonding session by wrapping a chain around his neck, and now we pick up with him viciously beating Tommy until he passes out—or pretends to.
-Tommy’s trick works, but by the time the dust settles he’s murdered Joe Lee and accidently given his furious mama a hard enough whack to kill her.
-He goes crying to Sam, and the two take off with the bodies in the back of the kind of van your parents always warned you to avoid.
-The pedo van raises Sheriff Bellefleur’s V-enhanced suspicions, and he pulls Sam over and demands to see what’s in the back. He gets a surprise when an alligator (aka a quick-thinking shifted Tommy) snaps out at him and he lets Sam go. Tommy, proudly: “I didn’t kill him.” Sam, dryly: “And Jesus wept.”
-They ditch the bodies in the swamp and have a heart-to-heart: Sam assures Tommy he isn’t going to hell, and admits he’s killed before too. Brothers who sink bodies together stay together—let’s hope, since they’re all each other has now.

True Blood recap: We take wardrobe cues from Luna’s sexy loungewear, Nan’s bib necklace and what Alcide was wearing before he got naked

Last week on The Young and the Undead: blank-slate Eric drained Claudine in Sook’s front yard; the three musketeers of Tara, Jesus and Lafayette had been given an ultimatum by Pam to bring her Marnie to reverse the spell she’d put on Eric or they’d have her fangs to contend with; and a festering-wound addled Jason was getting gang raped on a dirty cot by the baby-challenged lady-panthers of Hot Shot.

The After Party
- We hit the ground running from the last episode, with Sookie’s mouth hanging open over Eric killing her faery godmother Claudine.
- Eric passes out woozy like Long Duck Dong in Sixteen Candles, before stumbling over to Sookie, punch-drunk on faerie blood, he wants some more. She freaks and he professes he’d never harm her (aww).
- We’re sure this is a first for Sookie, but probably a pretty common occurrence for most Bon Temps ladies: Work a full day, find your man in his sweats drunk and acting a fool in the front yard.
- Sookie orders Eric to get in the house, but first he pinches her butt playfully and wants her to chase him. She’s not amused, but we are. He doesn’t care that it’s almost dawn and runs off into the woods.

True Blood recap: We take wardrobe cues from Lafayette’s angel wing earrings, Portia’s proposition dress and Crystal’s trendy hostage-taking attire

When we left Bon Temps last week, Sookie was having an awkward chat about her faerie body odor with a disoriented Eric. The Viking Vamp had just had a spell cast on him by Marnie, the witch he’d tried to drain to put a stop to her designs on dead-raising—not something the undead want people getting control over. Jason was tied to a bed in Hot Shot getting each of his 12 perfectly defined abs bitten by Crystal and Felton.

Dazed and Confused?
-Sookie, confused about Eric’s state, tries to talk sense into him and then drives off just to do the classic horror-movie pause and look back. Of course he’s right there at her window and pounces on her neck. Logic takes a vacation, and she runs into the forest.
-Sookie punches Eric to get his attention, and he calls her Snooki. What? Well, she does love to tan.
-He does know what he is (a vampire) just not who he is (a pompous babe).
-Sookie agrees to help him out of his oblivion and gives him ground rules for going back to her/his place—no touching, no biting. We seriously resent her for not including, “Never put a shirt on ever again.”
-She calls Pam, who is sucking on a grown up Val from our favourite tween movie, Brink!, while still wearing the one-shouldered disco ball from last week, and she rushes over faster than a speeding bullet (of lipstick).

True Blood recap: We take wardrobe cues from Bill’s punk days, Pam’s sparkly mini and what Jessica wore to dirty dance at Fangtasia

When we left off last week, we’d been quickly caught up on what had been happening in Bon Temps while Sookie took her Fae sabbatical. Now that the fairy dust has settled, we start to see what this season will be about: Jason’s new animal urges, Eric and Sookie playing house, and a woo-ooh, witchy woman, who’s got the moon in her eyes.

Somebody’s Baby Tonight
-Eric and Sookie continue their not-yet-lovers quarrel about Eric’s landlord status—he asks nicely for her to be his so he can protect her, but she’s not biting and neither is he for now.
-Sookie heads to Bill’s to appeal to him for help and learns about his new royal rank from his guards.
-She interrupts Bill and Katerina, the sexed up spy-witch, finishing up from some post debriefing de-briefing. By this we mean that they were doing the deed, which makes it the second between-the-sheets scene for the season. Check!
-Bill is kind of noncommittal about helping Sookie and basically tells her to move on and move out. Out with the henleys, in with the ‘tude?

True Blood recap: We take wardrobe cues from what Sookie wore, what Eric didn’t and why Bill got rid of his hideous henleys

Welcome to the first of our True Blood recaps. Each week we’ll be checking in on our favourite telepathic barmaid, and the hot vampires, werewolves, shifters, faeries, and backwoods miscreants that make up her little corner of Louisiana. Important fashion lessons and questions will be explored from what spring collections will the fae be snapping up to how many low-cut tank top and leather-jacket combos can one Viking own?

Where we left off last season:
-After Eric—who should really launch his own cement effect hair product—reveals Bill’s betrayal to Sookie, she tells them both to drop dead-er.
-After a good cry in the cemetery in a demure blue sundress (very Christopher Kane Spring 2010, don’t you think?) Sookie followed Claudine—who’s always in her uniform blush-toned gown and romantic tendrils—into the faerie light.
-Bill, on a mission to keep Sookie safe, puts on his best Eric Northman leather perfecto to have a Crouching Tiger fight to the death with the Queen of Louisiana (the always stunningly-wardrobed Evan Rachel Wood)—we hope that her feathered cap and Victorian mourning suit survive, at the very least.

Spotted: Jason Stackhouse asking us for a restaurant recommendation

We were meeting a friend at Queen and Spadina last night, when suddenly True Blood‘s Ryan Kwanten appeared before us, street lights glinting off of his skin like he’s about to take down some drug-dealing werepanthers. But he did not ask us to join him on an ill-advised spree of justice, but instead inquired where could he find a good place to eat for about 10 people. After blankly staring for a moment, we managed to mumble something about Terroni, but that was deemed too far a walk for the group that we’re pretty sure contained Kwanten’s mom. There was some exchange about BQM and booths, but we were too busy trying play it cool and not turn into a squealing tween to process what anyone was saying. We later spotted Kwanten et al eating and playing pool at the Black Bull. Sorry we couldn’t do better for you, Jason Stackhouse.
