True Blood - I Smell a Rat, S03E10

The question is "Is Bill (Stephen Moyer) trustworthy?" And to tell the truth, I have no idea if he is. Certainly, I believe that his affection for Sookie (Anna Paquin) is more than a lust for her blood, but he is obviously not telling her everything. After all, he never even hinted that her blood might help (supposedly or actually) a vampire walk in the daylight.

Naturally, Sookie running to Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) to ask him why he thought Bill was untrustworthy wasn't a particularly good idea. Yes, that kiss was pretty amazing, and I certainly would not complain about Eric kissing me that way, but the follow up - Sookie getting dragged into the cellar where she was locked up as bait - was no better or worse than the reasons Tara (Rutina Wesley) has for hating Bill. When you get involved with Vampires, or members of the mafia, or simply con artists, sometimes your troubles just get lumped into the acceptable/necessary losses category.

Meanwhile, Crystal (Lindsay Pulsipher) finally caught my interest. I've really not cared particularly about her at all - an annoying werewolf who couldn't make her mind up and was mostly an inbred hick. Turns out, she's a were-panther. Far, far more interesting. I suppose that makes way more sense for trying to breed her with the right folk.

Also, Sam (Sam Trammell)'s back story about his con artist existence and the woman whom he loved and killed after she betrayed him gives our lovable puppy dog far more of an edge. Man, that guy had a really hard life before he found his way to Bon Temps.

Finally, a thought for Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) and Hoyt (Jim Parrack). Hurray!!!
