True Blood: One Funny and One That Ticks. Me. Off.
It's been no secret that I have felt miffed [on Sookie's behalf, I guess] about how quickly Eric got over Sookie this season. But this is still pretty funny. He can screw anything in a skirt, but she can't have one hawt dawg?So I think this would be funnier if he'd kept his zipper zipped and his wick dry.

AND, in yet another MASSIVE deviation from the books' storylines, Ball has made it vampires who killed Sookie's and Jason's parents. This has really bugged me. Last year he played fast and loose with what being Wiccan meant, no he is framing a completely different party for something Elves or Bad Faeries did. Argh!

Has Ball Jumped the Shark??
WE'LL MEET AGAIN
TRUE BLOOD S5 E4
Here are some videos for tonight's episode of TRUE BLOOD:
WE'LL MEET AGAIN
WE'LL MEET AGAIN
Series Episode 52
THIS is the preview
I think THIS is the most important clip. At end of the last episode Tara had put herself in a tanning bed and was screaming in agony. The question was should Pam save her or (to quote Pam's tweet) Let her fry. On tweeter it was surprisingly split. Pam's decision is revealed here by who is walking with her.
Sookie: I'm Turning myself in. Jason: Into what? As the shop owner said in last week's episode, God gave that boy a penis and a brain, just not the ability to use them both at the same time. As we say in Maine: THAT BOY IS NUMB AS A HAKE.
Alcide: "Debbie's Gone." (Gone where? To see MAGIC MIKE?")
Confusing Episode Numbers? HBO numbers its episodes "officially" for the entire series. So tonight this is the 52nd episode in this series. Most fans and some reviewers and bloggers write the season and the number of an episode with in the season. So tonight is Season five Episode four (S5, E4).
A lot of people think that Alan Ball has really jumped the shark on this season. How about you??

About Russell Edginton Vampire King of Mississippi
Still Dead But Not Truly Dead?
I have decided to occasionally explain a character from True Blood. It's been on a while now and if you haven't been watching you may still think the characters are just the characters from the Charlaine Harris series upon which the TV Series was conceived. The series and the TV show are now merely distant cousins. But, the main characters: Sookie, Bill, Eric, Pam, Alcide, Sam, LaFayette and Arlene hang on to their basic personality characteristics if not the stories that Charlaine originally gave them. For example, LaFayette dies in book one of the Southern Vampire Mysteries but is still kicking in Season Five and remains a big favorite.
Do you have anything to say bout King Russell? Are you happy he is back from the undead?

| Russell Edginton, played by Dennis O'Hare HBO Screenlift |
RUSSELL EDGINGTON: Vampire King of Mississippi
A character I do NOT like but who it seems others did is returning from having been buried alive at the end of Season Three by Eric, Bill and with the cement trucks provided by Alcide's company.
In Episode 49 or Epidoes 1 of Season 5, TURN, TURN, TURN, Eric learns from Alcide that Edginton has escaped. Sookie also learns about it from Alcide. Alcide learned it at the end of Season 4 when a worker at one of his buildings calls to tell him that there's a big hole.
Russell Edginton does appear in Harris' Book Series as the Vampire King of Mississippi in CCLUB DEAD and ALL TOGETHER DEAD.* He does allow Lorena, Bill's maker to torture Bill but makes peace with him later. He marries the King of Indiana, Bartlett Crowe with the marriage performed by Eric. They survive a hotel bombing at a Regional Vampire Summit in Rhodes where Sookie helps locate survivors using her supernatural abilities.
In the series, Russell first shows up in Season Three having kidnapped Bill for the intel he has on Sookie's family tree. He learned about it through a leak in Sophie Anne's administration. Bill was sent back to Bon Temps to find out information about Sookie. Sophie Anne learned about it through her human, Hadley, who was Sookie's first cousin.
According to HBO:
The flamboyant – and deadly – vampire king of Mississippi is one of the oldest and most commanding vampires on the continent. Careful planning over centuries has led him to his current seat of power, and his latest scheme is far more ambitious. www.hbo.com/true-blood/
More deets gleaned from my recollection of episodes.
R.E. is 3,000 years old. That makes him older than Godric was and extremely powerful.
For a very long time he has cultivated werewolf followers, addicting them to V and using them to kill humans. Eric and Godric tried to trace this down in WWII. He maintains a group of followers today giving them ritual shots of V. Alcide 's former (at the time) fiance has decided to marry the Alpha of those followers. While Alcide helps her find Bill at Eric's request, she tries to help him get Debbie back where he and she learn about this.
He killed Eric's human family, saving the crown Eric's father wore which provides the proof ERic needed to fulfill his need to avenge his family's death.
- In retaliation Eric kills Talbot (S3, episode 32), the King's, male vampire consort.
- This makes R.E. a bit wacky, he goes onto a news program and rips out the heart and or spine of the anchor. He reveals his true feelings that humans are not the equals of vampires so why would vampires seek equal rights with them? And he tells them that most vampires want to eat humans and their children.
He brought Bill to Mississippi to get the aforementioned intelligence, probably at the behest of Bill's maker Lorena.
Edgington learns that Sookie has some kind of special power and sees evidence when he attacks her at, I believe Alcide's, and she repels a wolf with her "Fairy Hands of Power." He captures her. She gets away, rescues Bill and kills Lorena True Dead.
Russell marries Queen Sophie Anne to gain control of her kingdom and she
In Season's 3 episode 31 Russell declares that he is going to sublimate humanity himself and that the Vampire Authority is obsolete. He kills the magister, which eventually brings the Vampire Authority in. Eric is charged with making the situation "go away."
In season 3's episode 32 Night on the Sun, Eric stakes Talbot.
He runs around with a large crystal container of Talbot's remains thinking he will use Sookie's blood to reconstitute him.
Russell grants Eric a reprieve when Eric reveals the truth about Sookie and that he'll be able to walk in the sun. After drinking from Sookie he and Eric go out in the sun. Eric has tricked Russell and handcuffs them together to burn to death. Sooker takes him in and feeds Eric again. Russell is unable to persuade SOokie to free him as Bill, Pam and Eric go to ground for the day. She pours Talbot's remains down the bar sink. At sunset, Bill and Eric drag Russell off to one of Alcide's sites where they fail to kill him (stupid, stupid) but instead decide to encase him in cement - He vows revenge once the strength of the concrete fails. (Bill turns around and knocks Eric in to another hole of cement because no one can know about Sookie).
At the end of season four we see the hole from which Russell escaped. And in Season 5's first episode we see a human being dragged in (we assume to Russell) and blood hitting the walls.

Waiting Sucks, Sam and Luna (On location) Posted on YOUTUBE
It sounds as if someone has killed or abducted someone Luna cares deeply about. Since, at the end of last season Alcide killed Luna's rabid ex-werewolf, Marcus, who had kidnapped Marcus' and Luna's daughter and was trying to take off with Alcide's fiance Debbie. I am betting it has something to do with that. HBO is airing these clips with GAME OF THRONES each week.

There is additional footage from HBO GO, posted by krystalskiy on YOU TUBE. Is that a gun shot at the end?
