It's Eric's subconscious.

Not to sound like an overcritical internet guy who thinks every woman is gross, but I thought Tara looked pretty bad up there dancing. Her body just looked off. I normally think she's good looking, but not this episode.

I think that weird outfit she was wearing was not sexy at all.

Not sure, but I can tell you that tonight I'll be hallucinating about her being real, if you know what I mean...

I do have to say Rutina Wesley went from stick figure gross thin to pretty muscular and toned over the course of this show. Her current look is much better.

Jason shooting Jessica in the head was pretty awesome. It's one of the few times I've ever seen someone "fight back" once a vampire attacks and he was pretty calm about it. Probably hard to hook up for random sex after that though.

See I think the opposite. It's her broad muscular man shoulders that are part of the turn off for me. Not a fan of a six pack on a woman either.

that was an awesome scene. I like how he casually used Jessica's blood splatter to heal his bites.

While Lilith may have been a hallucination, there must be something to her blood to have that effect on all of them.

That was the French Quarter in New Orleans.

I laughed at a lot of the scenes. Loved this episode, and loving this season so far. Yeah, the plot is soooo thin, but who cares? we are having so much fun.

Comment-wise, seems like we've gone from "the plot's too busy" to the "the plot's too thin" in record time.

I think you're mis-remembering. Go re-watch the bikini scene in season 1. She was never a stick figure.

I don't think it's thin...it's convoluted, but not thin. I hope this is an Allan Ball thing and when the show comes back next year the new showrunner will have streamlined things a bit.

It wasn't, but that looked a lot like Merlotte's because I think they just redid the show's filming set for Merlotte's for that scene and just didn't change it up enough.

I can't find an image but I know back in the pilot or right around there I remember seeing her legs and thinking they looked like they couldn't even support her weight without snapping like matchsticks.

True Blood with Denis O'Hare is SO MUCH BETTER than True Blood without him. Hopefully they find a way to keep him around this time.
I yelled "kill her already!" at the screen before Russell showed up.

Who would win in a fight, Russell or Godric.

Well Russell is about 1000 years older than Godric if I remember correct. They are both so damn cool though.

Re: True Blood -- "In The Beginning" -- 7/22/12

I have a theory concerning how Godric seems to be able to commune from the true death and it goes back to how he died. I think vampires, kind of like the Jedi, have the ability to become one with the world/universe once they reach a certain point of enlightenment. Godric has obviously become such in his years, and that was why he more or less vanished into dust. Russell is older than Godric, but is nowhere near as enlightened or at peace with everything (obviously), that's why he started to burn slowly when he went into the sunlight in season three. Just my theory, or it could be sloppy writing and inconsistency.

Tara's body is awesome. That stripper gear just didn't fit her right. It makes all the difference.
Not that I would know anything about that.
