  Ha!
  This was just a parade of guest stars. That's all it was.
  I have 1,000 complaints, but I'm only going to voice one: they finally exposed their own plothole this week. The yakuza have been consistently finding Sarah newlan, even when she was at that hidden retreat. Yet, suddenly last episode they desperately needed Eric's help to find her? Even though they had no trouble finding her at the same Republican Party Eric tracked her to? So this episode, cowboy guy was like "Eric!! How could you kill her sister! She was our only clue to finding Sarah!!...except for our other methods of finding her which I suppose have been working just fine. In fact we already found her again. This plot line makes no sense. The fuck do we need Eric for again?? Oh, we want a spokesman. Right. Because...he's the only handsome vampire? Wait, is that really what the script says? This is fucking garbage."
  
  End scene!

  Yup. The plot is absurd. It's definitely one of those shows "just go with it" is what I tell myself a lot

  Also, don't forget that they offered Eric half ownership into the 300 million plus corporation. And why do we need him as a spokesperson?  Call me fucking crazy, but I don't think they will have any trouble selling a cure for Hep V.

  Also, I'm holding out that having sex with a Hep V vampire will kill Sookie. Please.

  But hey, at least we got to see Civil War Bill again!  Civil War Bill:  just as boring as regular Bill, but with poofy hair and slightly more stilted language. 

  Although I did enjoy Bill's stabbing that lawyer.  It's a pretty transparent move to try to liven his character up through random acts of violence, but I'm easily manipulated.

  The non sequitur of Lafayette and Lettie Mae just digging away in the yard was hilarious.
  
  I guess Civil War Bill already had his miracle via baby making?!? I didn't understand anything great grandpa x 1000 had to say.

  I barely watched that scene, but I worriedly asked my husband if Sookie was going to wind up magically pregnant. If she does, I will be mega pissed. What an antifeminist message that would be, if like Bill died but Sookie gets to carry his miracle fairy vampire baby.

  I wondered this same thing as I was typing. Like maybe that was the message grandpa was actually trying to give (magical baby=miracle) but hopefully Sookie was just all whatever, where's my tiny white dress. Alcide, who?

  This shit is getting old. They are going no where fast. I'm over it all. Sookie feeling guilty so she gives her fairy twat away. 

  
  

  Just cure Eric and kill off the rest. 

  This was a typical stall for time episode.
  
  Do not care about hoyt. Please leave forever, sam. Arlene and. .. Keith? Don't care.

  I didn't understand this at all. Was TrueBlood getting too deep and I'm just a dum-dum? Nothing made sense. Thank god they took the time to have Sookie make Grandpa Niall some spaghetti before this scene. Because THAT totally added to the plot.
  
  They just need to finish the rest of the series with 80's Eric and Pam working in the video store. I'd watch a whole show about that.
  
  Also, no more Sookie and Bill. Barf barf.

  The best part of this episode were the hallucinations of all the men Sarah Newlin has slept with.  I know Steve Newlin was a pain in the ass but I found him as a vampire very amusing.  I was sad when they killed him off.
  
  Do.not.care. about Lettie Mae or Hoyt or Adilyn or Arlene .  When did Arlene become someone we're supposed to root for?  Andy breaking down at the lake house was unexpected.
  

  The actor who plays Andy is really good. The actor who plays Hoyt is awful. He was covering his face to hide the fact he couldn't portray grief.

  I finally watched the episode tonight. I like the theory that Sookie may get pregnant since that's something that's bothered her all along about dating vampires.
  
  I agree that the reasoning for getting Eric involved in tracking down Sarah is a little fuzzy. But I'll take any excuse for more Eric on camera, especially now that Alcide is gone. Give me ALL the Eric. And no Bill. He can die.
  
  As an aside, I wonder how awkward it would be pretending to have sex with your real-life husband while on camera. I can't decide whether it would be more or less awkward than with someone you weren't in a relationship with because of the intimacy factor. Deep thoughts...And I kind of thought it would be cool for him to die while doing Sookie. Let's give her some more new trauma to whine about.
