True Blood
Last night's episode felt a lot like being bludgeoned over the head with violence against women. I'm not hyper-sensitive about these things. I pretty much accept it in the media... but good grief. It's hard not to notice when there was so damn much of it! Too many women [an array! an assortment! a variety!] being terrorized and tortured for a single episode. Ease off! Or at least mix up the genders!
The only storylines that really interested me last night were Eric's/Layfayette's/Pam's and Jessica's. The Eric stuff (especially Eric and Lafayette and Eric/Pam) worked. I bought all of them being scared shitless and trying to think their way out of this. How are they going to make it out of this? It's a tall order, so I'm intriguted. And I liked the (relatively) understated Jessica moments. Sam's plot wasn't as in your face as the other stuff so I suppose I'm relatively neutral on it, but Zzzz. And, basically, every other storyline boiled down to 'let's torture teh wommenz.'
Blerg.
ETA: Oh, and Alicide, really, keep the shirt off. I suspect that's the most productive thing you bring to the show so... you should probably stay half-naked.
ETA II: Okay, I lied. Having read my own comments here and elsewhere, I must be interested in Bill's plot as well... I just find it ookie while interesting.

Oh, I think Frain is fabulous as Franklin. I just find the character creepy as shit. And his bat-shaped ears only add to the creepiness. He's a wonderful casting.
Is it just me, but are they making Alcide the whiny werewolf of the books. You are wasting a pretty man on whining and pining!

I wish I could get whiny. I was just getting blah... but he did look good with his shirt off. It's like a joke that used to show up on the AMC boards about a couple of characters. Just let them stand shirtless in the back ground. Don't ask them to do anyuthing, just let them be attractive scenery.
