True Blood Sucker Punch: Episode 4 by Mark Blankenship
From Huffington Post
** Mark will be on Talk Blood radio with us next Sunday!
Welcome to Sucker Punch, the only blog post that ranks the gaudiest moments on this week's episode of True Blood.
I'd probably have guessed that series creator Alan Ball wrote this installment, "Shake and Fingerpop," even if I hadn't seen his name in the credits. Like American Beauty and many episodes of Six Feet Under, it unites multiple plot lines with a single theme.
In this case, the theme is "unexpected vulnerability." Almost all the major characters are weakened in some way, which creates a queasily exciting energy: We can sense a bomb's about to drop, but we can't quite tell where it's going to fall.
It makes sense for everyone to be vulnerable, of course, since we're entering the second quarter of the season. The first three episodes defined this year's major arc -- Maryann is powerful, there's a beast ripping out hearts, etc. -- and the next three will probably prepare everyone for the climactic conflicts in episodes six through twelve.
In other words... now that we know something crazy's going on, we need to understand that the Bon Tempians are susceptible to it.

Lafayette loves watching classic movies
No, you weren't crazy watching True Blood last night..
Yes, Lafayette was watching the classic The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, by the animation genius Ray Harryhausen
I wrote before about Lafayette's TV watching HERE

True Blood Episode 4
In this episode, Jason continues to become friendlier with Reverend Steve and his wife, Sarah, which actually fuels jealousy from some of the other people at the camp, especially Luke. He also gets put on a new mission. Can't wait to see how that one's going to turn out.
Oh and I have to mention my favorite quote, which is typical Jason:
Luke: "God will make sure evil gets punished."
Jason: "Yeah, then explain Europe to me."
You just have to love him, he just can't help it.
Sam
Sam's plans to leave town are being pushed back a little. And if you remember, at the end of last episode we saw that Daphne had a big scar on her back (which looked like the same one Sookie got). We don't learn much more about her scar, but her relationship with Sam does evolve, and there is a small reveal towards the end of the episode.
Tara
Tara makes a big decision in this episode, which impacts her living arrangements. It's also her birthday and let's just say Maryann has some big plans for her.
Lafayette
Poor Lafayette is recovering from his few days of nightmare. But let me tell you, there is this hilarious scene between Eric and Lafayette you don't want to miss. This is why so many people love his character.
Jessica
In the last episode, Bill interrupted Jessica and Hoyt's night together. Unfortunately, we won't see much of them in this episode, but something tells me it's not the end of their relationship.
Until then, Jessica ends up going to Dallas with Bill and Sookie. And I have to say, I really love her and I can't wait to see what kind of trouble she gets herself into during the trip.
Sookie and Bill head to Dallas, but there is a surprise waiting for them at the arrival.
Also this week's cliffhanger involves Sookie, and is pretty damn cool if you ask me. I definitely didn't see it coming and I doubt you will either.
So don't forget to tune in to True Blood this Sunday, July 12, at 9pm on HBO.
From Rope of Silicon
Episode 4 of the second season begins at the Light of Day Leadership Conference as Jason tells the rest of his bunkmates he's moving out and just prior to a tough guy speech he removes his clip-on tie in a moment of hillbilly awesomeness, but it's not the last time he sets everyone straight. Later in the episode he's having lunch with Luke and another one of the Light of Day followers (sorry, I don't know his name) and the following conversation takes place:
JASON: I don't know who Lazarus was, but he sure as hell was not the first vampire. Everybody knows it was Dracula.
LUKE: It's in the Bible moron. Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead.
JASON: So Jesus made the first vampire? Maybe Jesus was the first vampire. Man, he rose from the dead too, and he told people, "Hey y'all, drink my blood it'll give you special powers."
LUKE: Jesus never said that -
THIRD PARTY: The first vampire was Cain. Being a vampire is the mark of Cain. It's God's punishment for bringing the first evil into the world by killing his brother.
LUKE: No, the first evil was Eve, for eating the apple. That's why they call it Eve-il.
JASON: That wasn't even… That was just skirtin' the rules. Evil is making the premedicated choice to be a dick.
LUKE: One thing you can count on – God will make sure evil gets punished.
JASON: Yeah? Then explain Europe to me.
And yes, he says "premedicated" and not "premeditated". I listened to it three times to make sure. It's classic writing that raises an interesting religious aspect to the conversation all while maintaining the show's ability to make you laugh. On top of that, this show has found a perfect balance between using hillbilly nature as a comedic device all while never taking it so far it becomes stale or insulting.
The writers realize the absurdity of what is going on in "True Blood" is enough to make for comedic dialogue if approached with sincetiry. The best example I can think of — off the top of my head — is Detective Belflour's dedication to learning more about the pig he saw at Maryann's. Every time he brings it up it sounds ridiculous and makes me laugh just by the way he says "pig," but it is a completely legitimate storyline allowing for the joke to also serve as a storytelling device. Smart stuff.
Beyond that this episode has Bill admitting he is a self-hating vampire to which he tells Sookie, "I am a vampire… I am supposed to be tormented." Legitimate excuse. Sam and Daphne are getting closer as their skinny dipping session from the end of the last episode continues, but toward the end of the episode Daphne tells Sam she knows what he is… but now just what exactly is Daphne?
However, despite all of this, my favorite moment comes as Bill and Sookie head off with Jessica to Dallas to investigate the disappearance of the vampire Godric. There is a shot of Bill and Sookie in a limo that makes them look like the godfather couple of the vampire underworld as Jessica makes her first attempt to glamour someone. It is such a perfect picture, I can only hope it's the direction this show ends up taking things in the future.

Some spoilers for Episode 4
From Kristen @ E!
Kelly in Amsterdam, Netherlands: Please give us some scoop on Alexander Skarsgård from True Blood!
Not only is Alex the show's leading eye candy, but he also serves as the show's official Swedish-English translator. Costar Kristin Bauer, who plays Eric's "serial killer baby" Pam, tells us, "They keep writing me lines [to read in] Swedish, and Alexander calls and says the Swedish on my phone. Hopefully he's not lying to me about what I'm saying. That's what my boyfriend does—he's from Africa, and he's teaching me Afrikaans, and I don't know what I'm saying, but he laughs."
Jerry in New Orleans: What's coming up on True Blood?
In the next episode, Sookie (Anna Paquin), Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) encounter trouble when they arrive in Dallas and find out that someone from the Fellowship of the Sun was sent to abduct Sookie. The plan fails. And believe it or not, Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) invites Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) into his home and feeds off his blood to recover from the wounds suffered when Eric abducted him. Strange bedfellows, indeed.

True Blood Season 2 Possible Title Song: Ep. 4 ' Shake and Fingerpop'
We have noticed that according to the HBO schedule Season 2 episode 4 (16) isn't any longer being called 'Let's Take a Trip together' it's now called 'Shake and Fingerpop'
So we'll look at what that means to what we think our episode title song will be ..
So far for Season 2 we have :
Episode 2.01 - Nothing but the Blood
Episode 2.02 - Keep this Party Going
Episode 2.03 - Changed to Scratches from Scratch My Back
Episode 2.04 - Changed to Shake and Fingerpop from Let's Take a Trip Together
Episode 2.05 - Never let me go
Episode 2.06 - Friend is a Four Letter Word
Episode 2.07 - Release me
Episode 2.08 - Timebomb
Episode 2.09 - I will rise up
Episode 2.10 - New World In My View
All we know about Season 2 spoilers, casting calls etc. can be found here
All Season 2 videos ( including my great slide shows) here
We know that Alan Ball and the amazing Gary Calamar put great effort into musically curating True Blood !Episode 2.04 title was called 'Let's Take a Trip Together' and now it's called 'Shake And Fingerpop' that has to be the song by Junior Walker.
Junior Walker was born in Blytheville, Arkansas and grew up in South Bend, Indiana. His saxophone style was the anchor for the band's overall sound.
The other original members of the group were drummer Tony Washington, guitarist Willie Woods, and keyboardist Vic Thomas.
His career started when he developed his own band at the age of 14, in the mid 1950s as the 'Jumping Jacks'. His longtime friend Billy Nix (drummer) started his own group the 'Rhythm Rockers.' Periodically Nix would sit in on Jumping Jack's shows, and Walker would sit in on the Rhythm Rockers shows.
"Shake And Fingerpop" was released in 1965
Lyrics
Said put on your wig, woman
We're goin out to shake and fingerpop! Hey, baby!
I said put on your wig, woman
Goin out to shake and fingerpop! Hey, girl!

Episode 2.04 - Let's Take a Trip Together , by the band, Morphine on the album Cure for Pain.
Morphine was an alternative rock group formed by Mark Sandman and Dana Colley in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1989. The band ceased to be in 1999 after frontman Mark Sandman died of a heart attack.
Morphine combined blues and jazz elements with more traditional rock arrangements, giving the band a very unusual sound. Sandman's distinctive singing was described as a "deep, laid-back croon,"and his songwriting featured a prominent beat influence. Wikipedia
Cure For Pain was the second album released by Morphine, put out on the Rykodisc label in 1993. The tracks "Sheila" and "In Spite of Me" were prominently featured on the soundtrack of the 1994 independent film Spanking the Monkey. The video for "Thursday" also appeared on an episode of 'Beavis and Butt-head.'
Here is the band's MySpace and they include many audio and video clips to other songs but i dont see " Lets Take "

Two of the member are now: http://www.twinemen.com/
Another member is : http://www.akacod.com/
If anyone know of a link to the song send it to me ! here is 30 seconds
Let's take a trip together
Headlong into the irresistible orbit
Breathing the cold black space
With the glistening edges
Let's take a trip me and you
Let's go the scenic route
Get to finally (x3)
Get to know each other
Just to be alone (x2)
Just to be alone with thee
Somewhere there's no distracting breeze of information
Leaking through the windows dripping from the trees
Somewhere there's no earthquakes
Of other people's anxious questions
No nervous wrecks going down (x2)
Let's take a trip together
Headlong into the irresistible orbit
Here is another song from the album

Introducing "True Blood's" Fresh Meat
Pop Wrap at New York Post gets everyone all together in one nice article
Hello once again to all my fang bangers. Oh, how I have missed you in a months since our beloved "True Blood" went underground. It's been so hard getting through Sunday nights without trips to Merlotte's, no? Well I felt it was time to take a trip back down to Bon Temps because there has been casting news a go-go in recent weeks, and I think it's high time we talk about what their addition means for Sookie, Sam, Jason and Tara.
Let's start with Preston Jones, who was just officially added to the cast today. He will be playing ... well, we don't know what character Preston will be, but since everyone else that has been added to the cast is playing some sort of "good guy" (we'll talk about them after the jump!), I am going to assume Preston is evil.
He's got the fair skin of a sunlight-a-phobe, but since creator Alan Ball teased that, "there's a new creature in town that is unlike any other. Nobody knows what this creature is, I'm not sure if it will be entirely explained in the show -- it's not a werewolf," I am going to pretend, for now, that is what we're looking at here.
Let's break down the rest of "TB's" newbies after the jump.
Next up is Ashley Jones. She is moving in to Merlotte's as Daphne, the joint's new waitress. Given that the bar has a higher staff turnover rate than the midnight-6 a.m. shift at Denny's -- Amy, Dawn, Lafayette? -- it's no surprise she's only booked for six episodes right now.
Alan also teases that Sam gets a new love interest in season two, so perhaps it will be Daphne who puts a little 'zoinks!' into the shapeshifters slacks in Tara's absence.

Luke will be played by Wes Brown for at least half a dozen episodes. And given the fact that Wes looks like a lesser Chris Evans, I think you can all understand my hope that this kid gets the Stackhouse-treatment from the producers quick and frequently.
Speaking of Fellowship of the Sun, we've previously met Steve Newlin, the head of the church, and with the addition of Anna Camp we will soon be meeting his better(?) half. The actress will play Sarah, in a casting announcement that continues to reaffirm my belief that the Fellowship will become a major presence for the show's second season.

Jason will also be getting some more loving -- shocker! -- this season. So I can't be the only one concerned that the combination of his insane body and lack of scruples will lead to a little illicit loving with Mrs. Newlin, can I?
Up next is Todd Lowe, who plays Terry, the PTSD cuz of disliked Andy Bellefleur. Perhaps he will continue to simply be a presence at Merlotte's as he was for most of last year, but then again, we should not forget his season finale declaration that everyone should start listening to him because he knows things.
Finally, there is the most controversial addition to the cast -- Jessica, Bill's newly minted vamp. The scared little girl we met rapidly turned bratty and bitchy once she became a vampire and moved in with Bill. Obviously her presence is going to test Sookie and Bill's love, but will it test the audience's patience too? Looks like we'll have to wait a bit to find out -- season two is slated to return this summer to HBO.
