Well, the Sookie Sam situation and that scene in his office in particular was a definite FU to Charlaine Harris and the way she ended the series.

Give or take a few scenes (all involving Sam), I enjoyed that episode. It was directed by Michael Lehmann (Heathers), and I always seem to enjoy his tv work. They always have an interesting tone and really stick the landing.
The Sam/Sookie scene had me scared to death. Glad it ended like it did.
Highlights were the Eric episode bookends, Bills "Not really, no," the hilariously awesomely campy Sarah Newlin cat fight, and all things Steve Newlin. Anna Paquin was good in this episode too.

Steve Newlin on the hamster wheel was gold! The bitch-fight was great, also.
Jason's vampire mistress in gen-pop (Violet?) is crazy. And hot!
I felt pervy watching Andy's daughter take her top off.
Don't really care for Sam's storyline, but I did like when the girl's mom pointed out how much older he is than her daughter.
Sookie had a flashback to when Warlow tried to cross the portal into her bathroom. How does she reconcile that "monster" version of Warlow with the polite chap she's screwing in Fairyland?

Excellent ep - Oozy but productive I am loving how the show is ramping up the Camp factor!
Anna Camp, Michael McMillian
The Newlins are my fave couple this season. The sight of the sad former Rev. running in the hamster wheel had me laughing. And the entire catfight/chase sequence involving Sarah and the spokesbitch was incredibly goofy hilarious! The death by stilleto still took me by surprise with how it was cheesy and yet still gruesome - like something out of those ridiculous over-the-top Dario Argento horror films.
ugh Sookie - we haven't even seen her working at Merlotte's and she believes there was still some chemistry left with Sam?
I wish the vamps in the camp would swap places with Alcide, Sam, Nicole, and her mother. Just leave them in the white room to drown in flea and tick shampoo.
Eric erasing the memory of one of the boys getting to second base with ABCD Bellefleur.
He must have been simmering when Bill walked into his house last week, but I can't see how Andy could control his rage at the vamps now that the remaining kid was fang raped. Why do his daughter's zapping powers go missing when they're in danger?

I wonder if Rob Zombie Warlow is even the same guy at this point? This episode made it seem as if they will revisit that.

Maybe Warlow turns into the Rob Zombie thing. Didn't he say something to Sookie a while back about going full on vampire at night or something?
Also, didn't Warlow slaughter all of the club fairies?

Yep. She's taking some steps, but Sookie needs to loose her Warlow amnesia fast.
They released a campy but awesome (imo) new trailer for next week's episode. It shows some things the one that aired last night does not.

I am not sure why, but the slide Bill does in that trailer cracks me up.

Thank you Jesus!
Pam: "Oozy, but Productive"
felt bad for jason for a half second "Don't rape me"
Loved mama calling out the age difference between her daughter and sam "Silverfox!"
At least we know why Sam wanted her to stay, I was thinking this whole time, Dude you were in love with Luna like 2 weeks ago!

That Alciede uppercut to that chick was fucking awesome.
Sam's in love with another girl already? Wut? And she's pregnant? Wut? That scene with Sarah and that other chick was ridiculous. Killing her with her shoe? Wut?
this season started out well but has gone completely off the rails. At least we got to see Andy's daughter's tits.

I believe you've misquoted me.
But that's why I felt pervy! I know the actress is obviously old enough, but the character is actually only like a week old, and like you said she's pretty underdeveloped.

Yup, and it's a shame because if I recall correctly, one of her sisters was definitely quite busty. Why couldn't she have been the one to live?

It's as if they raided my liquor cabinet in this episode:
Sam serving Belvanie
Sam and Alcide doing shots of Bulleit
Sookie doing a shot of SoCo
