True Blood....if you're not watching it, you should be!! - Page 8 - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Just so you know, the next episode of True Blood is the Season 2 finale and it's in 2 weeks. I guess HBO doesn't want their Sunday night lineup of True Blood, Hung and Entourage on while there's people away for the long weekend. Makes sense but it bloody annoying.

I agree with most. Pretty average episode and Evan Rachel Wood was terribly mis cast. Still.....can't wait for the finale and to see what happens with that damn egg.

That would totally and completely redeem the entire series.

Or if Sookie and the new queen hooked up.

So long as there was no dialogue.

I'm just going to try to forget that episode ever happened. Brutal. Too many storylines already and then the writers try to put more in with that moronic Queen coming into the frame. I hope there's a bloodbath in the finale and some of the extraneous characters get axed in a definitive fashion.

The whole Bonton plot this season has been pretty weak. I could have lived with this whole season being focused on Godric and the Christians having the season ender be when Godric died and Eric tricking Sookie into drinking his blood. Possibly throwing in the conversation between Eric and Bill that makes Bill possibly not be as noble as he seems.

The endless orgies and retarted people have gotten boring and the whole maynok's exist becuase they believe they are imortal is really stupid world development.

Matata · 09-01-2009, 12:38 AM

Since Godric confirmed Jesus being alive, wouldn't Jesus best be described as a Maynok in this world? A preacher who brings people to him, performing miracles with faith.

The first time the term "Maynok' is heard is between Bill and the queen, cut to the detective calling it a Maynok next scene, followed by pretty much everyone else on the show. How did this happen? Did I bill take the time to text everyone? Nasty plot hole.

BlackArcher101 · 09-01-2009, 12:43 AM

I think Sam also figured out she was a Maynok.

Pastiche · 09-01-2009, 07:29 AM

Who were the Maynok's followers when she first sacrificed the witch doctor? Another plot hole. Why did the Maynok wait so long to sacrifice Daphne and why did she prioritize Sam over Daphne for sacrifice?

Shoddy writing.

Clever_Iggy · 09-01-2009, 09:09 AM

I'm glad people are on the same page as me re the shotty writing and plot holes/weak plot continuity. And it's all happened in the past couple episodes.

The last good episode was the one the finished with Godric holding up the Christian camp security dude after he attacked Sookie. Maybe the episode after.

GGG is right: if the writers would have finished with some combination of those things above or Godric dying, and Bill alluding to perhaps trying to control Sookie, the season would have been awesome. The Bonton side plot that became the larger plot sucks.

I agree that the Bon Temps sub plot is getting annoying, its just the same crap each week, people are crazy/big eyed and sexual. We get it.
The only redeeming character is Lafayette in that realm of the show.

jammies · 09-01-2009, 09:35 AM

BTW I think it's "maenad" not Maynok. Which were somewhat as they are portrayed on the show, minus the trembling and the immortality and such.

Maenad.

jeremywilhelm · 09-01-2009, 09:40 AM

The other Shifter told Sam that it was a Maenad like 5 episodes ago. I found this last episode nearly impossible to watch. It was like it was written by terrible fanfic writers as opposed to the writers that did the first 10 episodes of the season. I can pin point the exact moment the show seemed to go awry. When Sookie is stupidly sucking the bullets out of Erics chest and he is smiling like a moron and she has no idea what is going on. At this point the show went from darkly humorous to weak-ass Sam Raimi wannabe.

Color me dissapointed at this point in the series.

I thought Dafne only said that Maryann was a "god" or something along those lines. I don't recall her saying she was a Maenad. But I could be wrong.

She said she was god, right before a commercial break. Probably to add suspense. Then she jumped into the water and started talking about handmaidens of Dionysis or Maenads, and that is what Maryann really is.

I just watched it again yesterday.

Spoiler:

well... if it follows the book at all, you are probably in for some fun!

Pastiche · 09-01-2009, 12:22 PM

Also, Andy Bellefleur is a terrible character and the actor playing him is also terrible.

BlackArcher101 · 09-01-2009, 12:59 PM

Enough with the this and that actor/actress is bad talk, where did that start anyways?. This ain't a multi-million dollar movie here. At this rate, all the actors/actresses on this show won't meet anyone standards. And I thought Andy does a hell of a job... you sure it's not the character making you think that?
