True Blood - Season 5, Episode 5

Let's Boot and Rally

As Sookie and Alicide are getting hot and heavy they are interrupted by.....Sookie getting sick and Eric and Bill. Hahahaha.... Bill and Eric ask Sookie to help them find Russell Edgington with the help of the only person who knows where he is, an employee of Alcide's. Sookie will read his mind. Sookie sees that a woman has dug up Russell. A member of the Authority! uh-oh...Could it be Nora?

The Authority is keeping a close eye on Eric and Bill. They decide they need to speed things up and start an "iStake" countdown....yes if there's no Russell by dawn....there's no more Eric and Bill. They do find Russell and he's looking in good color. Eric goes in for the kill and Alcide disappears in a roar! What timing...

Lafayette is freaking out because of his Brujo side. He has a mini breakdown and then asks Jesus for a sign that he is up there. He is pleading for help. Both Lafayette and his mother see Jesus's head (mouth stitched shut). Is this the sign?

Terry and Patrick are tied up in the underground bunker they found. They are blaming their fellow unit member, Brian Eller, for all the fires and death. Eller explains that he has seen "the evil" (Afreet)  in the fire and it is coming for all of them because of all the innocent people they killed. Eller is consumed by "the evil" in the bunker. Now there are only 2 left.

Jason dreams that he is having breakfast with his parents (He-Man PJ's and all) and he sees that they are bleeding from vamp bites. Could Vampires be the true reason for their death? Ha...then the phone rings and he wakes up naked.

Andy also wakes up to his phone ringing and naked. What did all that Fairy Light do to them and their clothes?
much at all.
Jason and Andy are called to investigate the deaths of Sam's shifting friends who are both shot in the head. Another "poor Sam" moment. He is questioned about their death by Andy. Sam goes to Luna to tell her about Suzanne and Emery. Leaving her house Sam is shot and Luna too as she runs to his rescue. Emma comes outside and is told to run. She turns into a baby wolf and takes off.

Tera begins to accept her role at Fangtasia. She is dressing for the part and bartending. She immediately gets reprehended for attacking the first human she sees at the bar. She now knows not to do such things in public. Jessica spots Tera in Fangtasia and goes over to talk.This is actually good for Tera. They are both new vamps and Jessica can really help her through the confusion! Jessica opens Tera's eyes a lot. That is until Jessica catches Tera attached to Hoyt's neck! Oops!

* Quotes I Liked *
"Alcide you sure know how to treat a woman" ~Eric
"Well come on, what are y'all waiting for. Let's go hunt Russell. Onward into the jaws of death. Boot and Rally." ~a drunk Sookie
"Drew is Goo! Drew is Goo!" ~Badly Burnt Vamp in the cell

Overall Opnion & Thoughts:
A good episode, but what True Blood episode is not! I am intrgued with Tera and Jessica's relationship. Before Tera's change I really don't recall them talking at all. Now, that they have soemthing in common, I can't wait to see where this goes! What a force to be reckoned with if they become BFF's....I'd not get in their way!!!
Terry's life had changed for the better! I am sad he has all these memories coming back with the arrival/road trip with Patrick Devens. I guess it's nice to know what his mysterious past is, but he was finally happy and married! Him & Arlene were Happy! Let's hope the AFreet doesn't get him. Kick some Evil Butt, Terry! We know you can!

TV Series - The Gates

The Gates, aired on ABC in 2010

The Gates is what you may have guessed a gated community with an assortment of residents. This upscale community has its own school district, town center and police department. People who live here don't necessarily ever have to leave. Hmmmmm.....convenient isn't it...


Nick Monohan, his wife Sarah and kids (Charlie and Dana) move to The Gates from Chicago. Nick has accepted the Chief of Police position. He moves in with no idea there is such a "melting pot" of residents awaiting him and his family. What Nick has yet to find out is that The Gates has more meets the eye! There are Vampires, Witches, Werewolves and even a Succobus living amongst the normal well to do families.

I enjoyed the show. I watched it in it's entirety on netflix and I would definitely watch more! If only another network could pick it up!

There is a lot of building tension between the Vampires and Werewolves. I would like to see if they can keep their peace. The Succobus is an interesting addition to the community. The Witches are good and bad and may just be a driving force behind the Tension within The Gates!

13 Episodes full of revealed secrets and a season/series finale definitely wanting more!

True Blood - Season 5, Episode 4

"We'll Meet Again."

Pam comes begrudgingly to Tara's rescue & uses her "Maker Powers" to forbid Tara from future visits to the tanning bed. Pam brings Tara back to Fangtasia to find Eric there waiting for her. He & Bill have returned to Bon Temps for the time being. Eric has a "Where is Russell" interrogation. Pam is broken up by the change in Eric & tells him to release her (as your maker I release you). After a day's sleep Eric & Pam talk & Eric decides he will release Pam. Sadly she accepts & he does the deed.

Sookie is called "An Angel of Death" by Lafayette. Sookie tells Jason she is guilty & killed Debbie Pelt. She also tells Jason about Tara.


The Authority continues to break Nora & force her to confess. She does confess with the promise that Bill & Eric will not be harmed. Looks like Roman has found the other trader on the council. Chancellor Drew & he is immediately set to True Death! Ba-Bye

Andy & Jason are invited to a guy's night out. Hahaha... they are picked up for a visit to Fairy land or  Fairy Night Club. Andy meets his Fairy from the field again. Jason runs into his cousin Hadley & she spills the beans about his parents. Jason & Andy are booted out & some not so nice Fairy Power is used on them.....Hmmm


Alcide pays the Pelt's a visit. They are in town searching for Debbie. He tells them Marcus killed her. Covering up for Sookie! He tells them he then killed Marcus in return snapping his neck. Hmmm... half true. The Pelt's leave town.

Two of Sam's shape shifter friends show up  at Merlotte's to get him back out in shifter form. Sam goes out to meet them & finds both are shot in the head! Uh - Ohhhhh

Lafayette's dark side ventures out once again! He uses that mojo on Sookie's car...Eeeekkkk
Sookie has no brake & the car keeps getting faster. All she can do is jump out. She walks home & attacks the alcohol cabinet. Alcide pays her a visit to tells her he covered for her about Debbie. Alcide joins her from drinks and one thing leads to another and......

Terry & Patrick (his Sargent) make the trek to the last known residence of a fellow unit member. Terry falls asleep & he has a flashback of when his unit mistakenly killed innocent people. They find him & that he might indeed be the one behind the mysterious fires...Hmmm


Overall Opinion & Thoughts
True Blood is packed full of story lines & character development. Phew.... Episode 4 brings the end of Debbie. The Pelt's are told Debbie is dead & they leave town.  Andy Bellefleur & Jason Stackhouse get a VIP Invite to Fairy Land. Andy reunites briefly with the Fairy he randomly found last season. Jason runs into his cousin who hints to the fact that his parents death may not have been an accident (oops). There was a lot of fairy power thrown his & Andy's way. What will that do? It could definitely be a very interesting development! Sam's luckily late to meet his shifter friends. They have been SHOT in the Head, new story line. Tara is slowly being forced into her vamp life. I think that with the Eric & Pam's bond now broken, Pam will show more interest in Tara. I am very intrigued with this & where it will go. Lafayette is getting Super Scary! His inner dark witch is about ready to Erupt! You might want to RUN for cover!
Sookie & Alcide, umm enough said!
Eric & Pam tore me up...Eric releasing Pam *Sniffle, Sniffle* Eric does not expect an optimistic outcome for him & Bill once the Russell Edgington mess is cleared up. I think The Authority will come around....It's Bill & Eric.

Episode 5, Bring It On!

True Blood - Season 5 Episode3

" Whatever I Am, You Made Me"
* Another awesome episode....lots of storylines going on *

Ohhhh Tara.....you are a vamp & you will need to learn to curb the appetite. Tara runs off & when she stops her new vamp senses kick in. Bringing her to a human & it's throbbing veins. As she goes in for the attack she sees her image, apologizes & is gone in seconds.

Bill & Eric are pleading with The Authority (Roman) to spare their lives, so they can track down Russell Edgington. They each receive a harness to be worn at all times. Triggered by an app (yes mobile app) if they try to escape, remove or destroy it. The harness will pierce their heart faster then a bullet. Water proof & fire proof.... one click & splat....they are too cute to be goo.

Hahahaha... meet the NEW Nan Flannagan.....Rev Steve Newlin! That makes me LAUGH! He is definitely a kiss butt. Steve tells Roman he's ready to sell humans whatever The Authority wants them to "Believe" because after all all humans want is to feel safe. Roman accepts that he can "work a crowd" & had better not let him down!

Sookie goes to Fangtasia to plead with Pam. She asks Pam to help with Tara. Pam being "Pam" tells Sookie to scram Tara is not worth her time. Eric is missing & that's what counts. Sookie uses her "fairy" power & throws Pam across the room.

Tara shows up in the woods at Merlotte's & tells Sam she's HUNGRY! After multiple bottles of True Blood & pleading with Sam not to tell Sookie or Lafayette where she is she passes out.. Be Aware of the "Out Of Order!! Danger! Keep Out!" sign on the freezer at Merlotte's.

Jason runs into a teacher of his. She's back in town & it's been 15 years. Hmmmm. He says he remembers "everything" she taught him. He later pays her a "visit". This takes a darker turn when he realizes that this relationship 15 years ago sparked his issue with so much sex.
Good job Jessica! She goes over to see Jason & he is broken up about his "sex" issues. She tells him she is first & foremost his friend. :)

Poor Arlene, Terry does not come home & when she sees him at Merlotte's he tells her he needs to go out of town. No other details. That does not go over well & she gives him an ultimatum. He just walks out!

More flashbacks from Pam!! Love it!! San Francisco - 1905 More of the brothel & her early relationship with Eric. We also see Bill & Lorena!! Pam pleads with Eric by slicing both arms. Either he changes her or she dies.
Haha....Pictures of Andy Bellefleur's bare butt ends up on Face Book....ha ha ha...Holly & Andy make their relationship more then just friends..
Jessica smells the sweetness of a strange man while shopping in a boutique. Hmmmm...he stops in to pick up a rather large dress order for his sisters (16 to be exact). I bet he smells as sweet as Sookie!

Hoyt shows up at Fangtasia all "gothed" out (eyeliner & all). Pam warns that they will see right thru him & they could eat him alive. He is okay with that.

Lafayette has a DARK Moment! Ummmm annoyed with Arlene, he pours a jug of bleach into the Gumbo on the stove at Merlotte's. eeekkk good thing he realizes he did that! Don't get on his bad side.

Tara + Tanning booth = Ouch **till next week**

Phewww....what an hour!

Overall Opinion & Thoughts:
Not a whole lot of action in this episode as the storylines are starting to develop (and there are a lot of them!) and provide a good foundation for the rest of the season.
I wonder which path will Tara take as a Vamp? Will she be good like Bill or more like Russell? I wonder what impact will happen if Pam takes more interest... Finally some great developments for Jason and it was nice to Jessica step up as a friend, but will this just make them more likely to be a "real" couple down the road? I am also anxious to see more of Pam's Flashbacks which are great! We really didn't know a lot about her past until now.
