It is Sunday evening and I am prepared to have a bloody good time with True Blood and the (final) season premier of Dexter.
I wasn't a big fan of the season premier of True Blood, finding it to be pedestrian and not very exciting. The second episode, however, really kicked into gear and gave us something to sink our fangs into.
Bill find out that basically he is now a prophet but we do not yet know his message/purpose. We did find out that he no longer needs to feed like a traditional vampire but can rather funnel all of a persons blood through their mouth (as gross as it sounds, yes). Poor Jessica is so confused, and scared by Bill's passive/aggressive behavior.
Alcide is really taking his role as pack-master seriously by taking Emma from Sam to join his pack. I have to admit, he is definitely more bad-ass so far this season but kidnapping a puppy/little girl? Not cool bro.
Eric infiltrates Governor Burrell's mansion but finds out that the humans are much better prepared for war with the vampires than he realized. The humans developed contact lenses that prevents glamouring for example. Eric is forcefully removed from the premises but flies away Superman style, only to reappear at the window of the Governor's daughter who was getting ready for bed. Oops, guess you should have kept those contacts in sweetie.
Sam loses Emma to Alcide but gains an ally in Nicole who is from the Vampire Unity Society and wants to help "super natural" creatures like Sam come out into the open.
Jason and Sookie find out more info about their grandfather (played so expertly by Rutger Hauer) who also happens to be king of the fairies and is there to hunt Warlow who is now in their dimension. He also teaches Sookie how to turn her fairy light into a sun bomb which she can only use once then will lose her powers forever. Oh, and Sookie meets a mysterious and attractive new male fairy friend.
I am very much looking forward to the next episode. Like I said earlier, the show got off to a slow start but it has my full attention now.
I am really excited about Dexter. Season 7 ended on a huge cliff-hanger with Deb killing Laguerta. How will Deb and Dexter cover up her murder? Is Deb finally going to follow her romantic feelings for Dexter? Hannah McKay escaped from police custody, is she going to disappear or is she coming back for the man/murderer she loves? We know this is the final season and as Dexter asks in the Season 7: Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end? I, for one, am DYING to find out!
