True Blood… I need a hero!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror TV
Fresh from watching the latest True Blood, basking in the warm undead afterglow. I am reflecting on the fact that the show has had been somewhat absent of heroics recently. Yes, yes Bill swoops in when someone threatens his psychic princess, so there is self interest at play. Eric stepped up when his master was threatened, ancient blood rules obliged him to do so… But I’m talking about true heroism. Balls to the wall, selfless, ‘not on my watch’, heroics.
It has been quite absent until now… ladies and gentlemen I give to you Jason Stackhouse! Played by Aussie heartthrob Ryan Kwanten; Jason toting a chainsaw, nail gun and a bunch of flares took back some ground in Bon Temps from the evil MaryAnn and her Bacchus bestiality. Proving that Aussie’s indeed now how to demon RUMBLE!
With only a couple of episodes to go, the Queen to be revealed, Eric and Sookie will they or won’t they rub pink bits and speaking of pink bits WTF is going on with the giant meat totem in Sookie’s front yard?
How on earth can the series wind itself to a fangtastic conclusion in such a short space of time, or will they leave us all teetering on the edge of climax, gasping as if its our last breath, unsatisfied until next year? We will soon know, quicker than you can say Nosferatu!

August 26th, 2009 at 6:30 amI think Godrick (sp?) was quite heroic in his two episodes or so. He became a vampire Jesus in some ways, denying the old and showing a new way for vamps and humans to interact. No, it wasn’t a swooping to the rescue kind of heroics, but it was much more sublte and deeper. I will miss his character.
But yeah, Jason kicking butt was pretty awesome, too!
Oh, and don’t forget Lafayette. He and Tara’s Mom walked right into the lair of the bitch goddess, stared her down, cussed her out, and punched her servant right in the face before absconding with Tara. That was pretty heroic, too.

August 26th, 2009 at 11:36 amJason Stackhouse was fucking hilarious (as was the entire cast) AND hunky heroic Sunday night. I love how this show can go from scary to campy to sexy and back again in a vampire nano-second: “That’s not god! God has horns!”
Point well-taken, Ms. Hudson: Lafayette was one ballsy mofo queen the other night when he fairly mopped-up at Miss Mary Anne’s squatter pad.

August 26th, 2009 at 6:23 pmI think you make a good point about Godric, he was more of a Martyr figure though, where as Jason got straight down to business, nut up or shut up!

August 26th, 2009 at 6:24 pmLafayette, as highlighted by both of you Brian and Kelly, did raise the rainbow flag and confront the mad demon cow! Tara’s Mama can ‘talk to the hand’ me thinks!

August 27th, 2009 at 1:25 pmHoly hilarious @ pink bits. You Aussies are so better with the English lexicon. After a couple week’s back painfully slow and boring episode with Godric going aflame, last week’s show definitely redeemed itself. I for one can’t wait until this weekend’s episode.

August 27th, 2009 at 6:48 pmHa! Cortez, I was going to write ‘rubbing uglies’ but I though the meaning may get lost in translation! I can’t wait for this week, am fanging to see the Queen!

September 1st, 2009 at 8:17 pmOh, it’s no problem. I’m well used to it by now. I still get mail from magazines like Cosmo addressed to Ms. Kelly Hudson. I laugh and throw them away. My one hope is to meet a nice lady also named Kelly, and we get married and she takes my last name. Imagine the confusion…
