Tonight’s ‘True Blood’, Episode 2.02 ‘Keep This Party Going’


from Rope of Silicon

I read several comments around the Internet with people saying how the first episode of the second season of “True Blood” was a bit of a disappointment, but if you read my review you would have known the first episode sets up something of a four episode story arc with the following episodes adding much more to the action side of things.

This week we move on to episode 2.02, “Keep This Party Going” I have to first ask how happy you were to see Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) wasn’t the one dead in the back of Detective Bellefleur’s (Chris Bauer) car? For those of you that enjoyed seeing Lafayette alive, yet not well living in Eric’s (Alexander Skarsgård) dungeon, you get plenty more of his story in this one. As a matter of fact, contemplate on the thought of Lafayette as a vampire… What? Not saying anymore…

Eric’s involvement doesn’t stop there as he sets out to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of a powerful vampire in Texas. He wants Sookie’s help, but will Bill allow him to take her?

Meanwhile, Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) is shipping off to The Light of Day Leadership Conference where he gets his Ring of Honesty made of silver, plays a little capture the flag, giving him the chance to take his shirt off for the ladies, and meets the man likely to become a season long nemesis in Luke MacDonald (Wes Brown). When the two meet Luke tells him his last name is “no relation to the restaurant” to which Jason proves his stupidity asking, “Any relation to the farm?” Jason is just keeping it real.

Wouldn't you just have loved to see 4 episodes in a row of the new season of TB or do you actually like waiting for a week to view each episode?

While i would love to see all 4 epis-
odes at one time,i think it is better
to wait a week at a time.Makes the show last longer.

True, seeing as we only get twelve episodes in a whole year!!

I don't even know how HBO maintains interest in their shows when there are such big gaps between seasons.

But then, I wouldn't want to have the seasons stretched out too much - as it is they have added so much more than in the books. I don't want to lose the essence of the story.
