I want my 16 minutes..

This weeks episode of True Blood was only 44 minutes long and I am pissed off about it. Isn't the point of putting a show on cable so we can beat the censors and avoid all time reserved for commercials. I don't care if they showed Eric combing his hair and Bill pacing the room, I want my 16 minutes back. Don't get me wrong, the 44 minutes they did show are etched in my brain and will remain there until next Sunday's episode but with only two episodes to go I want as much TB as I can get.

In what was another dream sequence between Eric and Sookie she comforts him as blood stained tears streak his face. Is is wrong that when I see Eric and Sookie together I am on Team Eric and when I see Sookie and Bill together I switch to Team Bill? I know, I know, I'm sucha whore, sue me.

Unfortunately we did not see Eric for the rest of the episode but we did get to see yet another orgy scene. As thrilling as it is to see a woman gain some knowledge rather then give it for a change, I am so over it. Over IT! Knowledge..brains..h-e-a-? I would like to thank a very wise person for teaching me that lovely euphemism, you know who you are.

Sookie, Jason and Bill return from Dallas to find that Maryann and her followers have wreaked havoc in Bon Temps. Sookie's powers seem to affect Maryann but I am not exactly sure how. Maybe Sookie is the key to taking Maryann down once and for all. I am baffled as to why some people fall for Maryann's spell and others do not. My guess is that Sookie, Bill, Sam, etc. can't be put under a spell because they have powers and Andy, Lafayette and Tara's mother can't because they are/were addicts and already reached heights of hedonism. That doesn't explain how Jason deflected the trance so if anyone has a hypothesis on that I am open to suggestions.

In just one of the many F-bombs that were dropped during the episode Lafayette exclaims "This has got to be the worst motherf---ing intervention in history” as he and Lettie Mae try to release Tara of her trance. The laughter didn't stop there as Jason and Andy play God convincing the town that Jason is the one they have been waiting for with a gas mask, flares and a horn made out of twigs. I guess the two known for being dumb proved that two dumbs do make a right when they save Sam's behind, which we got a really nice view of in the closing scene. Team Sam too?
