This week's True Blood picked up exactly where last week's left off: Sookie, Bill, and Jessica in car, squabbling. Then: Sookie leaves car, is chased by what Eric will later refer to as "this bull-man," is attacked and left with supernatually poisonous, bleeding scars on her back. That shut up Jessica for a few minutes, didn't it? ("Petulant, dangerous, afraid," Bill describes Jessica, as who among us is not?)
Loved Dr. Ludwig and her grumpy ministrations. Loved Sookie going to Fangtasia, reading Ginger's mind, and finding Lafayette. (In fact, it was good in general to have a Sookie-centric episode this week, wasn't it?)
Did not understand why Sookie now owes Eric a favor for helping save her and Lafayette. I mean, going to Dallas to hunt wayard vampires? Who does Eric think Sookie is, Buffy Summers? All suggestions/obvious reasons I'm missing in this regard are most welcome. (Seems like she should have prevailed favor-free, given the righteousness of her argument plus the back-up strength of Bill, who really should have stepped up and supported her, but was curiously, wimpily passive in this scene with Eric. What's up with that?) But, but: best exchange of the night: Eric to Sookie, "Perhaps I will grow on you." Sookie to Eric, "I'd prefer cancer."

I was very disappointed in the show's treatment of Sookie after the attack, in comparison to how she was treated in the book. In the book, Eric gave her blood as well as Bill and Eric, as their maker, also ordered Pam and Chow to give blood. Sookie would not have survived otherwise as all her blood had to be drained and then replenished. It took all of the vamps to replenish her.
I've just been thinking... How many times have Sookie and Bill exchanged blood by now, in the series? Is Alan Ball totally ignoring blood bonds, or is he creating on for Bill/Sookie first? Suddendly, I'm getting scared... Can someone tell?

Bill, Eric, Pam and Chow all drank Sookie's blood, but she wasn't given any of theirs. Sookie made it very clear she wanted a transfusion of human blood only.
Yes, you are right Anna. Thank you for correcting me. Funny how we remember parts of somethings and all of others. I feel better about the scene now, but I'm worried about how they are missing out on the subtleties of how Eric comes to be sweet on Sookie. Also, Sookie has had Bill's blood twice now. Third times' a charm and there is still so much coming up!
