True Blood: "Keep this Party Going" (review)

Not sure where to begin with this episode but it was crazier than the premiere I thought.  First we have Lafayette, still in Fangtasia's basement/dungeon/whatever. Banter with Eric was hilarious considering the circumstances. Is there blood in my hair?? Ha ha. Poor Eric and his hair, dont know how I feel about the shorter look...hmmm.  Have to say that scene with Lafayette getting the pin out of that redneck's leg was pretty gruesome.  Although I'm guessing its not the most gruesome scene we have yet to see.  The scene with the crazy gun lady was hilarious. One thing I notice about Lafayette, he can pretty much sum up what you're like within two seconds.  He's street smart but lacks a lot of vampire ettiquette. 

Jason's on his way to vacation bible vampire hating school.  His ride reminded me of the Strangers With Candy episode when Jerri ended up part of a cult.  Of course Jason charms his way into the group, making an enemy of his roommate. Fun times.  That vampire hater 'skit' was so bad that it was funny, but you see how traumatized Jason is about his past.  Aside from Bill, I think he's the most conflicting character on the show. 

Tara's dating. But Maryann literally has power over Sam.  How do you make a shape shifter shift exactly?  Will he eventually get stuck that way?  She's getting creepier and creepier by the minute.  Arlene and Terry are so cute, I love them, at least Terry's straight up mentally ill with his PSTD. Not hiding it like Renee was.  Even though he's a redneck and a loser/alcoholic, you almost feel sorry for Andy but not quite at least not after you see him dance. 

I like how Sookie is trying to make things right with Jessica.  I think Jessica is still to naive to hold a grudge against Sookie for what happened, and is actually happy about being a vampire. Though once she's had time to simmer and digest what has happened i'm guessing she'll want to settle the score.  It was kind of funny seeing Bill trying to buy clothes for Jessica, and then running into Eric who the sales person thought was his gay vampire lover.  I kind of like the banter between Bill and Eric even though its obvious they're not really friends.  Sookie and Bill are kind of like Jessica's foster parents now, but I wasn't surprised when she go Sookie to bring her to her family's house.  It was an interesting twist though to have her totally turn on her abusive father.  Love how Bill knew exactly what was going on and showed up at the right time. Though I suppose they will have to have more make up sex after this fight, because its' going to be a big one. 

Oh and Lafayette becoming vampire? Keep this party going indeed!
