Sunday was the premiere of "Authority Always Wins," the second episode of the fifth season of True Blood.
If you haven't seen this episode, stop reading, go watch the show, then come back. This will still be here because of the magic that is the internet.
My point is, I will not censor my posts because I don't post them for at least a day after the episode has aired. In the case of a film related post, I will never post on a new release. I don't have that kind of funding.
Now on to my babble.....
Tara came back and was none too pleased about her newborn self. The exact line we thought she would utter was her only line. Rightfully so. Tara is now what she hates the most. I would be a little upset at my cousin & BFF, wouldn't you? Now where the hell did she run off to? Hopefully, she will find Pam.
Sam & Luna get into a fight that I honestly thought was pretty funny. Luna's little surprise with her kiddo was wonderful though. (BTW, for you Breaking Bad fans, Marcus' mother is played by the actress that played the "skank"..you remember....ATM...yeah...lol.) How is Luna going to deal with a puppy? How is Sam going to get the crap beat out of him because of his involvement with Luna and the pup? Sam is constantly getting beat up these days.
What on earth is going on with Terry? Arlene is a little too prying for my taste but I suppose that is what makes her a prime example of a lady from Louisiana. Terry's story is getting to look like he has more demons than we thought. It's a good thing.
Best part of the episode was finally getting to see some pre-vampire Pam. She has always been a fan favorite and we have wanted her backstory basically since we saw Eric's way back when.
Second best part, a short glimpse of Russell at the end. Always leaving me waiting for the next episode.
The Authority is finally fully revealed and I have to say I will never look at what I think is an abandoned, non-functioning elevator the same again. Roman was breathtaking when he was giving "communion." I can't wait to see more of the Vampire Bible stuff. I'm not sure what to think about the rest of the Authority just yet.
Jessica is starting to find herself while Bill is away. Some of the funniest lines were between Jessica and Steve. I really thought for a moment she was going to sell Jason to Steve, maybe to keep Jason out of her hair so she can party it up. We see here that she really is his friend.
Jason and Hoyt have taken a bad turn. I enjoyed seeing Hoyt pissed off and standing up for himself. Hoyt has been pretty much a squishy little ball of emotion until recently. It's nice to see him not be a doormat. Jason would be so much more boring if he kept it in his pants as a character. Then again, he would have more friends than enemies. Where's the fun in that?
Andy, Andy, Andy. Close call there buddy. Glad you took the high road.
Needless to say, great episode. Thumbs up for Meloni bringing life to Roman. He is going to astonish some people. Even bigger thumbs up for the Pam backstory.
Can't wait til Sunday.
