True Blood Crossword Puzzle: S2 E11 " Frenzy"

Frenzy

Thanks Kristie

Go Ask Dallas: In that creepy kitchen sink what's the man in the sink holding ?

Hey Dallas,

I love my "daily Dallas"! Okay here is a question.

In the last episode when Sookie walked into her kitchen after that uncomfortable scene with Jane Bodehouse, there was a man in her sink and he was playing with something..not sure what but i had some weird ideas. What the hell was that?

thanks Dallas!
flgirl

Hey flgirl,

I have to credit this answer to my friend and Blogtalk radio co- host the Twitter Sookie, @SookieBonTemps. On last week's show, she said that the man in the sink is playing with entrails and that they hanen't been able to tell if it's supposed to be human or animal. Yuck, but it was the best scary scene in all Season 2!

See for yourself....

True Blood Season 2 Ep 11 Subtitles

Go Ask Dallas " What the hell did Sophie- Anne tell Bill about how to kill the Maenad ?

Dear Dallas, What did Sophie-Anne tell Bill about how to kill Mary Anne the maend ? Thanks, M

Well, M here is the text from the 2 exchanges that Sophie- Anne and Bill have about killing the maenad. Maybe this will help you sort through what Sophie Ann says ..and I get this feeling she might not be telling " William" everything ....

BC: I need to know how to kill a maenad.

SA: A maenad? In Bon Temps? That's random.

BC: Yes. She seems to have caused some sort of mass hypnosis. The whole town has devolved a primitive state in a matter of days.

SA: Oh, my, she's an old one. Well, they're all old. Relics.

BC: Ancient Greece, correct?

SA: Before that even. Orgies, sacrifice? Cannibalism?

BC: We suspect.

SA: Fun.

BC: So how do I kill it?

SA: You can't. She's convinced herself she's immortal and so she is. William, surely you know that everything that exists imagined itself into existence.

BC: I'm not entirely familiar with that theory, no.

SA: Think about it. You're a wild young girl who's married to some jerk who treats you like property and is also fucking some 14-year-old boy. And along comes this religion, which encourages you to get hammered, run naked through the woods, have sex with whoever, or whatever, and it's all part of getting closer to God.

BC: I could see how that would have its appeal, especially to humans with their tendency towards Puritanism.

SA: Exactly. So you're fucking everybody in the dirt. Why not kill something and eat it raw? Hey, you're super extra pious. There's nothing you can't do, and each time you do it just brings you one step closer to the divine.

BC: Isn't that delusional?

SA: Never underestimate the power of blind faith. It can manifest in ways that bend the laws of physics or break them entirely.

BC: I bit her and it poisoned me. Of course it did.

SA: We can only drink human blood, and she's no longer even remotely human.

BC: But she started out as human.

SA: Hello. Evolution? We started out that way too. Less than two hours till dawn. Shall we have sex? Kidding. I haven't enjoyed sex with men since the Eisenhower administration.

BC: I really ought to get back to...

SA: Nonsense. Sookie's not in any trouble. You would know it

Then later during Yatzhee

SA: Maenads are sad silly things. The world changed centuries ago and they're still waiting for the God Who Comes.

BC: Does he ever come?

SA: Of course not. Gods never actually s

BC: If I can't kill her, how do I get her to leave Bon Temps?

SA: She has to believe that she's successfully summoned forth Dionysus...in hope that he will...ravish her, quite literally devour her,until she's lost into oblivion.

BC: So she seeks...death...the true death. The one thing she's evolved beyond.

SA: Ironic, isn't it? You know, they're really not that smart, these maenads.
BC: So how does she summon this nonexistent god of hers?

SA: I never said he was nonexistent. I just said he never comes. She believes if she finds the perfect vessel, sacrifices and devours part of him or her while surrounded by the magic of her familiars, then her mad god will appear. At that point, when she willingly surrenders herself to him...

BC: That's the only point she can be killed.

SA: Who's the smartest boy in class.

BC: The perfect vessel... human?

SA: They prefer supernatural beings.

BC: The two-natured.

SA: Shifters, yes. And Weres. Fortunately, they show little interest in us. Something about our hearts not beating. But they'll try any other being that straddles the two worlds.

BC: As long as it has a beating heart.

SA: You have to remember, they've been trying for centuries. They're constantly improvising their recipes in hopes of finding that one magic element that will make it all happen. Idiots. Excuse me.

Got it now ? No , I don't either

Blood Work! “True Blood” video recap 2.11: Alright, who laid the egg?!

From our wonderful friends Andy and Brian ... "jumped the Sook" hahahha

It’s that time of the week, Campers!

Yes, we’re back with the penultimate episode of Blood Work Too, the second season of our True Blood video recap series where we discuss the hit vampire series, play with dolls and cats and generally make total asses of ourselves.

This week we’re a bit down because … well, because this last episode suuuuuucked. But rather than let it ruin our pre-Labor-Day warmup, we decided to catch some sun and play some Yahtzee. Join us as we enjoy tropical drinks and complain about the shit going down in Bon Temps!

Yahtzee, "The Fun Game That Makes Thinking Fun!"

I think Sophie has her original game from 1954.

This from wikipedia
Yahtzee is a dice game made by Milton Bradley (now owned by Hasbro). The object of the game is to score the most points by rolling five dice to make certain combinations. The dice can be rolled up to three times in a turn to try to make one of the thirteen possible scoring combinations. A game of Yahtzee consists of thirteen rounds during which the player chooses which scoring combination is to be used in that round.

The present-day commercial Yahtzee began when toy and game entrepreneur Edwin S. Lowe filed Yahtzee as a trademark with the U.S. Patent Office on April 19, 1956. The first commercial usage of the name Yahtzee was a few weeks earlier on April 3. Lowe classified his product as a "Poker Dice Game."

According to Hasbro, the game was invented in 1954 by an anonymous Canadian couple, who called it "The Yacht Game" because they played it on their yacht with their friends.^[8] Two years later they asked Lowe if he would make up some sets to be given as gifts to their friends who enjoyed the game. Lowe perceived the possibility of marketing the game, and acquired the rights to the game from the couple in exchange for 1,000 gift sets. This story is expanded by Lowe in the 1973 book, A Toy is Born by Marvin Kaye. According to Lowe, the game did not initially do well commercially, since the rules and appeal were not easily conveyed in an advertisement. Eventually, he had the idea of organizing Yahtzee parties at which people could play the game and thereby gain a firsthand appreciation for it. The idea was successful, and enthusiasts quickly popularized the game through word of mouth.

In Which True Blood Ruins My Vampire Yahtzee Fantasies

haha from Meredith at io9 ( she was a guest reviewer on the Sunday show with me and Sookie 2 weeks ago and was great)

This is what Meredith thinks Bill texted

"SUUUUKIE I WILL BE RETIRING AT THE PALACE, I WILL RETURN UPON NIGHTFALL. I WILL REQUIRE RELATIONS. ERIC IS EVIL. XO - VAMPIRE BILL"

Last night was the big campy Queen vampire reveal. Will she be pretty? Will she be rich? here's what vampire Evan Rachel Woods said to me... que sera sera.

This episode seemed to tread water a little bit, much like last week's, but at least we got in some quality Eric time. Seriously, he was all over the place with his Matrix-flying dress-wearing Swedish ass. And we approved of all of that. The rest? Well, kind of a crazy let down. But let me tell it to you, "Pro and Con" style.

Con: Evan Rachel Wood's Queen schtick. Was she a whole lotta glam packed in one tiny body? Yes. Well styled? Yes. Did she have a fabulous day room? Yes. Was she handed some of the best one-liners in True Blood History? Oh yes. The True Blood crew, writers, and stylists set this character up with the most non-fail safety net in the history of sexy vampires who say clever things. Which is why I'm shocked to the core at how she single handedly almost destroyed this character entirely. Her delivery came across as brittle, wooden and, well, dead.

“True Blood” Season Two, Episode Eleven: TV Recap

from Wall Street Journal ( I still can believe the write about TB)

After all the hype, Evan Rachel Wood finally made her debut as Sophie Ann, the vampire queen of Louisiana, on last night’s (second-to-last!) episode of “True Blood.” Dressed as a glamourpuss with perfectly coifed hair and retro duds, she portrayed the young queen as a rather petulant and affected ruler, with a hint of Valley Girl thrown into the mix (”Helllllo? Evolution!”). The off-kilter performance may have been her (and creator Alan Ball’s) intent, but she certainly didn’t give off any vibes of “fear me, fear my power.”

Sophie Ann kicks off the rather slow-paced, expository episode with a scene of her feeding on a willing victim and asking Bill, on business from Bon Temps, if he wants to join in. (Marilyn Manson would be proud). Bill politely declines, but finds himself forced to act as Sophie Ann’s playdate for the day, “sunbathing” by the pool and playing Yahtzee, before she answers the question he’s come to ask her about: How can he kill Maryann, who’s technically an immortal maenad? Turns out, the deed isn’t impossible. All maenads live a nomadic life, waiting for a Godot-like Dionysus to show up. Since he never will, the key to vanquish-ment is attacking the maenad at her weakest moment: after she’s provided the requisite sacrifice (preferably supernatural) and is waiting for her god to come.

True Blood Redux: Raise Your Hand If You're Having Sex Dreams About Eric

From E Online ( the title made me giggle)

Welcome back to Bon Temps, TV fans! This week we fans of True Blood are arming ourselves with flame throwers, grenades and advice from the Queen in anticipation of the climactic final battle with maenad Maryann. She's marshaling her troops, and we're marshalling ours, but there's no telling yet who will have the upper hand in the end.

If you've haven't watched yet, sit down with your Snickers-and-Tabasco cassarole and spin up that DVR! But if you have seen tonight's installment of True Blood and you're ready to talk, fly on here.

What We Learned

Good Night, Tiny Humans: Best part of the episode? Eric and Pam’s reactions to Arlene’s children—Pam thought they smelled funny, but Eric thought they were kinda cute, calling them "teacup humans" and gleefully showing off his fangs upon request. Truth be told, Eric being nice to small children was swoonworthy and we do not mind one bit that Alan Ball toyed with our hormones like that. In fact, we’d like some more please. P.S. Eric can fly?! What the heck?

Don't Go to the Dark Side: In other news, Sookie and Lafayette revealed to each other that sucking Eric's blood had turned them into saucer-eyed freaks of a sort. Both admitted to being subconsciously sexually obsessed with the Viking vamp, and Lafayette even seems to be contemplating a crossover into the world of the undead. Count on that being a continuing storyline for all parties involved.

Oh Those Wacky Vampers! Love that 2,000-year-old Sophie looks and sounds indistinguishable from a Valley girl, and that she is significantly less insane than the other ancient vampires we’ve met lately. (Godric, we’re looking at you.) What did you think of her Yahtzee fetish? Adorable or annoying? The sun room was unquestionably fabulous, and the foodie-style appreciation for free-range, organic human was a nice touch. Do you trust her advice on maenads? Will you be happy if she sticks around for a while?

True Blood Sucker Punch: Episode 11

From the wonderful Mark ( who was great on the show last night) You can hear him hatch ( haha) some of the ideas live on the show last night ..podcast at right.

Welcome to Sucker Punch, the only blog post that ranks the gaudiest moments on this week's episode of True Blood.

(Warning: Spoilers Ahead)

---

Okay, look... I know it's hard to be a television writer. You've got character development and plot continuity and about six million other things to think about, and you're usually juggling multiple episodes at once. From that perspective, it's a miracle that any episode of any series is ever any good, which is why I can forgive my favorite shows when they have a bad episode or two.

And I'll definitely have to forgive True Blood for this week's installment, "Frenzy." It's pretty much a disaster.

But let's start with the high points---except for the Sucker Punch of the Week, of course, which will give us a happy ending. (Ew. Not that kind of happy ending.)

Trapped beneath the flaming rubble of this hour, there are a few lovely exchanges between characters. Lafayette and Sookie's scene on the porch, for instance, lets them connect in a believable, low-key way about their mutual ties to Erik, and the episode gives Nelsan Ellis several other meaty moments. Swinging between sauciness, terror, bravery, and loyalty, he delivers a captivating performance.

New True Blood episode 11 behind the scenes photos

You maybe have not seen all of these...

'True Blood' preview: The 'Frenzy' is almost here. How has this season been better than last season?

from Ent weekly

Less than 12 hours to go before “Frenzy,” the second-to-last episode of True Blood this season. We know we’re going to see Evan Rachel Wood as Sophie-Anne, the Vampire Queen of Louisiana. We know from this HBO clip that Tara is pretty distraught over something bad happening to Eggs:

As the season winds down/cranks up to a conclusion, let’s list the ways in which this second season surpassed the first, shall we? I’ll start with three, you take it from there:

• Producer-writer Alan Ball took the characters created by Charlaine Harris and, made bold by the ratings success of the first season, really ran with them — he’s made them his own.

• As a result, Ball’s True Blood has something in common with Ball’s Six Feet Under (something besides characters who spend time under the ground, that is): a predilection for embracing chance, love, chaos, desire, and possible self-destruction.

• Victims have taken control of their own destinties. Think about it: Sookie spent a lot of time last season at the mercy of her growing love for Bill without knowing how to harness her own powers. Her grandmother was murdered. Tara was put through the emotional wringer with her alcoholic mother and a lot of heartache when it came to men she was attracted to. Jason got suckered into the Fellowship of the Sun. But each of these characters has fought back, found reasons to become angry, cagey, and bursting with newfound power.

True Blood Episode 11 " Frenzy " what you should know

Description:
With the crisis in Bon Temps careening out of control, Bill seeks out the advice of Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood), the Vampire Queen of Louisiana, but must exercise patience before she gives him critical information. Meanwhile, Sookie and Lafayette find that protecting Tara from herself is more difficult than they anticipated; a desperate Sam turns to an unlikely source for assistance; and Jessica tests Hoyt’s allegiance to Maxine.

Casting Calls
[HADLEY HALE] Sookie's (Anna Paquin) cousin, this fresh-faced 20 something year old country girl is locked in a steamy clinch with the vampire queen(Evan Rachel Wood).

[LUDIS] Under 30. This straight, handsome, well-built Latvian man (with or without an accent), clad only in gym shorts, is only too delighted to volunteer for another man's "feed"...3 lines, 1 scene (44)

[FRENZY MAN IN DRESS] This skinny, tattooed, "frenzy-eyed" man is wearing a badly ripped dress that doesn't do a thing for him...1 line, 1 scene (sptv050769 54) The more tattoos the better

Sookie Boook 10: Sookie book spoiler from Pam ??

Kristin Bauer (Pam) from True Blood reveals a little book spoiler in her latest True Blood interview.

Funny, since she says she doesn't read the books.
Read the entire recent Popwrap Interview HERE

PW: OK, so let me ask then, is there anything you would like to see happen for Pam?

Kristin: Well, Charlaine [Harris, author of the novels] tells me that in the latest book she sends Pam on a murder spree. She kicks off her pumps and goes mercenary, ripping people apart. Who knows if Alan will do that though.

Pam doesn't go on a murderous spree in book 9 ( but she does pick off some of Victor's vamps in from Dead to Worse May08) so is this book 10 reference? The only other thing I think maybe Charlaine could have been talking about was the new Sookie/ Pam short story that will be out next year ..

Let's also talk here about Pam fangtastic red sequined outfit (Is it really Disco night at Fangtasia ? and she got Eric to dress up like John Travolta ? )

Her outfit looks a lot like the Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit featured here:

"Turn heads with this red sequin belted jumpsuit and make jaws drop with it's $5,500.00 price" tag.

See here

**I wish the actors would not discourage people (fans of True Blood ) from reading the books. If they don't want to read, fine.
Then say " I don't read them / haven't read all of them " but I know they are great !"

We knew MaryAnn was coming this season -did anyone expect what we've seen ?

NEW VIDEO - True Blood Episode 11 "frenzy "

 

Kristin Bauer: 'Pam is Worried Eric Won't Share Sookie'

From Popwrap

With so many characters living in and around the world of Bon Temps, "True Blood" is more jam-packed than Fangtasia on a Saturday night at sundown. But from the minute she first appeared at Eric's side, Pam has been one of the best -- and most memorable -- sources of comic relief the show has in its arsenal.

And according to Kristin Bauer, Pam's coming back from a brief on-screen hiatus with a bang!

Or more specifically with bangs because she is totally eighties'd out this Sunday! Her return also signals the resurgence of the Lafayette/V storyline that has vexed many fans and caught Bill's eye.

But as the show hurtles toward its season finale (on Sept 13), Kristin has some intriguing details about what fans can expect not only in the last two episodes, but on the DVD special features. It turns out there's a lot more to Pam than meets the eye!

PopWrap: Where'd Pam go?!?
Kristin Bauer: I know, but she's back on Sunday! And her outfit will definitely make up for the absence. It's the most hilarious, incredible thing I've ever seen! Audrey Fisher ["TB's" costumer designer] had it made special and there are just so many sequins. It's totally 80s..
