LOL! It wasn't just you. I told my wife that Jason better not drop the soap around that guy.

I agree with MrX that Jessica did a great impression of Bill.

Another excellent episode with a cliffhanger that left me swearing at the TV.

Easy fix. Tell him to fuck off....

Given how this is an Alan Ball show, i wouldn't be surprised if it went that route.

Really enjoyed the episode as well.

It's amazing how Jason has done a complete 180 degree turn in such a little time and it's completely believable within the context of the show. I love Lafayette's story line this year. I sort of thought his character was annoying at the beginning of last year, but he really grew on me. Now I think he's the best part of the show, even over Jason and Sookie's storylines.

This was a pretty solid episode and I find myself much more interested in Eric now than I did last season, and seemed much more "real" I guess I would say talking to Lafayette and Bill. As far as the hip thing my gf missed that too and had to tell her .

Yeah Eric went from just a character to one of my favorite characters last night. I really like where they're taking him.

So who or what is Maryann? Is she a demon or some type of goddess? Besides her vibration trick, she seems to embody gluttony and lust or something.

Really fun show. Great start to the season so far. I loved the staging and photography in this episode, Eric at the beginning with the blood dripping from his mouth (that whole scene was pretty damn cool), the pov from Jessica's father with her staring at him, everything looked really cool. Great storylines for everyone, I'd say this is my favorite show behind 30 rock and office.

Exactly my feelings. Knowing he died in the first book really made me worry about this season without him so I was pleased to see they went a different route.

Yes and don't you wish you had her phone number?

If my girlfriend invited another guy over to watch a show loaded with not just sexual tension but nudity and sex, my question wouldn't be about what he's not picking up. Especially after week two.

Expect a massive dose of skin exposure in the near future episodes from the Rev's wife - Mrs Sarah Newlin which is played Anna Camp who is vavaboom with a daring full frontal at a stage play entitled Equus with Harry Potter ( Daniel Radcliffe )

Great episode! Loved the scene at Jessica's house. Just wondering why no one seems concerned on the whereabouts of Lafayette. Am I forgetting something from last season?

He's been known to go missing so no one thinks anything of it. Go-go dancing I believe Tara said.

Well considering she is on like the 9th book, the second season of the show and they even discussed this on the preview episode and in every interview with the character I am pretty sure the spoiler statute of limitations is over on this one.

Why do Bill need someone to ask if he can come into the house? I mean, he rip the door open already.

Vampires have to be invited in. It is part of many different versions of Vampire lore.

In some mythologies vampires can't cross the threshold of a door into a house without being invited in.
