Sarah or "Noomi"?Here's Adam continuing the march to True Blood's "true death" in just a few weeks...
Alright, so first thing first, does anybody remember last week’s episode? I was racking my brain trying to remember just what the hell happened, and all I can come up with is Sarah Newlin is the new Jesus and Bill went all Red Eye and stabbed a lawyer through in the throat when he didn’t get his way. So…there’s last week’s recap.
Now, on to this weekend's episode "May Be The Last Time"
True Blood was doing soooo well for a few episodes. Plot lines were moving forward, and when they weren’t, characters were growing and deepening, a real rarity in the True Blood universe. Even if this weeks episode wasn’t terrible lets just say that while watching the episode I became increasingly more entranced by the homemade ice cream I made (just two frozen bananas & almond milk blended in a Magic Bullet! Who knew?) than by what was actually happening on the screen.
In between mouthfuls of my glorified frozen banana puree, these thoughts pop in my head...
Ugh, why does Carrie Preston have the stomach I’ve always wanted?
When Arlene was giving Sam advice as whether to leave and move in with whats her baby mama face or stay put in Bon Temps, I could’ve sworn she was going to ask him, “If you left, would anybody notice?”
When Andy and Holly were peering through the screen door looking for Adilyn and Wade, all I kept thinking was #TrueDetectiveSeason2. Or, somebody give them a buddy comedy to star in!
When Bill and Sookie were fornicating on the floor (hellloooo season 1 flashback), was anybody else just dying to see Bill, in Old Glory fashion, explode in a bloody hot spring while inside her?
So, if this if this is The Normal Heart of True Blood seasons, then that totally makes Dr. Ludwig Julia Roberts, right?
Does Sam even perform Mayoral duties?
Watching Sarah Newlin’s mental breakdown, I couldn’t help but think that her character really is just a combination of waiting-at-the-train-station Virginia Woolf and just-got-accepted-into-the-intern-program Elle Woods. For real. Mix Virginia pleading to Leonard, “If it is a choice between Richmond and death, I choose death” with Elle backing away from that sheet of paper with her name on it, “Me!” for Sarah when she's asked to choose between Buddhism or Christianity before she dies...
I choose neither! I choose me! I am the cure! I am the messiah! I choose myself!”
