True Blood's Vampire's "Like A Virgin" Lament

Man, I think Meredith is wrong about lots of stuff this week - Complain about Godric ? Oh come on - he's just wonderful in every single way ....From io9
But her pros and cons are still funny ..

This week we learned a lot about vampire anatomy and why breaking up with a vampire is messy thing, unless you can let your 1,000 year-old Dad Vampire handle the situation. It's True Blood time.

This entire episode was packed with strange happenings and uncomfortable situations from Bill walking in on Jessica and Hoyt doin' the yelly hand-over-the-face-deed (kind of rough for the first time right?) to Godric throwing the smack down on the hair-pulling "he's mine, I'm his, we're ours and each others" cat fight. It was like one gigantic awkward vampire prom.

This week finally "dealt with the shit" we've been waiting forever to see. Huzzah action, and not just in a ho-hum naked party kind of way. Plus it was all daintily sprinkled with the light handed touch of True Blood nuance, start with the title, "Time Bomb." Why, what ever could that mean?

The Pros And Cons of True Blood

Con: Godric gets another chance to prove he's more than just the other half of those smiley faced frat guy twins hanging outside of Abercrombie and Fitch beckoning tweens inside with their tiny post-pubescent muscles. How did he fall so far in one simple moment? We sang his praises for all things ridiculous and covered in fake dreadlocks, and this is how you repay us? Godric is one low strung frontal pelvic cleavage showing pair of jeans away from being written off forever. I mean if he's the big man in Dallas who is stronger than anyone and can do whatever he wants, why does he need to fit in if that's all beneath him?

If you follow the link about half-way through, it takes you to io9.

I don't agree with several items but the only on that really gets me is that the author says:

Con: Eric on "Maker" Don't use words you don't understand.

Con: Eric on "Love" Don't use words I don't understand.

I loved that part! I thought it was some of the better writing in this show and very funny.
