True Blood: Patty Griffin, Bon Temps Crew Smell A Rat Houston Press Jefwithonef

Team Talk Blood member Jef shares this weeks column -you can listen to us discussing it last night on Talk Blood Radio

"Who can you trust," sang Jack Nicholson as the Joker, and then he gassed to death all the people he had just handed out free money to. Like Pilate, but with inflatables. This episode of True Blood made it very clear that pretty much every character in the show cannot be completely trusted. Bill lies to Sookie, Eric chains her up, Sam shot some people, Jason shot some people, the lovable new nurse boyfriend of Lafayette's is descended from wild-eyed Mexican black magicians, Arlene's gone cuckoo for Jesus-puffs, and the vampire terrorist Russell Edington is hiring hookers only to cry like a little bitch with a skinned knee until he re-enacts his husband's death with a sharp piece of wood on the dull piece of meat.

'True Blood': If everybody's supernatural, then nobody is - LA Times

 Usually, after a big, game-changing event like last week's Russell newscaster massacre, a TV show like "True Blood" will take a breather episode, figuring out a way to slow things for a week or two before heading in for another big episode. Part of the fun of the second season of "True Blood" was that it never slowed down, but that also meant that it ran out of story around Episode 10 and then dragged out the revelation of how the gang got rid of Mary Ann over the last two episodes, which were truly terrible. This season, the show has interspersed slower-moving episodes among all of the other ones, and the pacing is working better. But it still feels weird to go from an episode that ends on such a huge note and head into an episode where the big event is barely even mentioned.

'True Blood' episode 10 recap: How lame! Sookie Stackhouse is a fairy NY Daily News

And so, in this series full of blood and guts and death and sex, a series that appeals to teenage guys in the way "Twilight" is said to speak to teenage girls, the secret at the heart of the entire plot is revealed to be:
"I'm a fairy?! How f---ing lame!"
So speaketh Sookie Stackhouse in the first two seconds of the episode, to which I say: can't blame you, girl. I thought the same thing when I Wikipedia'd you last year. That sound you hear is a million bros crying out in anger that the hero of their show is, quite literally, a magical pixie.
But manly Bill Compton is there to reassure her that 1.) she's only half-fairy, but is really mostly human, so it's not all that lame. Also, that fairies are 2.) highly secretive, supposedly extinct beings that were also apparently recreational rapists. Sookie's a bit freaked out about about that last bit, since she figures it must mean someone in her family was raped by a fairy.

'True Blood': The truth about Sookie Stackhouse

"True Blood" finally reveals the truth about Sookie's true nature.

Not 30 seconds into the episode, Bill explains to Sookie that she is part fairy, which doesn't sit too well with our decidedly non-fae seeming leading lady. The interesting part of Sookie's fairy lineage is that vampires have been the downfall of the fairy race, because fairy blood is irresistible to vamps. Eric then shows up and lets Bill know he is aware of Sookie's lineage and wants to know if Sookie's blood really lets you walk in the sunlight. It does? Huh. Bill explains that it only works for a few minutes, and he and Eric fight a bit about Sookie because That's What They Do. Sookie asserts to Eric that she doesn't want anything from him or have anything for him, but when Eric leaves, her face looks a bit conflicted. The dream she has later fueled by Eric's blood further enforces that she's not totally immune to his charms. She goes to Eric to understand why she shouldn't trust Bill, but Eric decides to just make out with her instead of telling. I'm surprisingly OK with that.

‘True Blood’ Season 3, Episode 10 ‘I Smell A Rat’: Guess Who’s A Fairy?- Wall Street Journal

After last week’s frenetic episode, this week’s installment of “True Blood” — titled “I Smell A Rat” — calmed down the pace, as we make our final push towards the season finale.

First off, the writers don’t tease us by dragging out last week’s big question: What is Sookie? As many have speculated (and as spelled out in Charlaine Harris’ books), Ms. Stackhouse is part fairy — a development even she finds “f—king lame.” Bill explains that Claudine is afraid for her because every supernatural believes the fae race was wiped out of existence by vampires. Then, to borrow a phrase from Pam, he talks about blah blah, I love you for your mind and and not your blood, blah blah. For all his lovespeak, however, Sookie is vaguely aware that Bill is still not to be trusted — a sentiment that is echoed by dream-Eric and later again by real-life Eric.
