Omg, Truebies. Like a (not even remotely) great man once mumbled, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ... uh ... won't get fooled again?" Anyway, ex-presidential embarrassing moments aside, tonight's episode of True Blood left me feeling full-on hoodwinked! Remember all those super-juicy spoilers we got at the beginning of the season? That tantalizing tease about male full frontal nudity? (Just in case you forgot, it involved a "a male prisoner displaying full frontal nudity while in a dire situation." And then the whole dragon rumor? (As in, a dragon of the fire-breathing variety showing up in Bon Temps as the supernatural du Season 5?)
Well, both of those prophecies came true, sort of, tonight. But not at all in the way I expected/hoped!! (Needless to say, don't go any further if you don't want to know exactly what I'm talking about!)
Okay, seriously?! We got our "male prisoner displaying full frontal nudity while in a dire situation" in the first, oh, 30 seconds of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." But he was just some random human about to be devoured by Salome & Co.! Really?! As if we care about some bloodbag's junk. That was a mean trick! (Although, there is still hope, as the original spoiler referenced Episode 11 and tonight was only Episode 9. But still!)
Oh, and as for the "dragon" thing? Forget fire-breathing mythical beast. Just for-get it. Try a Ku Klux Klan-style "grand dragon," and an uber-bitter zaftig dragoness (a.k.a. the "love of ex-Sheriff Bud Dearborne's life").
Yeah. See why I feel hoodwinked?!
Anyway. There were some decent surprises tonight, most specifically Mr. Bill Compton's complete and total betrayal of Eric Northman (not to mention Sookie and everybody else that spineless bloodsucker "cares" about). Do I even need to say it? Okay, fine: TEAM ERIC. TEAM ERIC. TEAM EFFING ERIC!
Check out this clip and you'll see what I'm talking about:
And that's just the tip of the freakin' iceberg, baby! (Pretend Lafayette said that.)

I was wondering the same as you Marilyn. The elevator doors opened up and I yelled "No Bill! Wtf is wrong with you dude!" Lol. Hopefully we will find some decent awnsers in these last three though, I don't think I could wait until a new season to find out whats going on!
I love the new writers this season, the style is so different. I can't beleive the season is almost over.
As a male I have to admit I find all the frontal nudity on TV and movies rather inequitable and very biased.... While male genitalia seems to be everywhere, female genitalia is virtually nonexistant and seldom even mentioned (Occasionally you might see pubic hair, but hair is not a sex organ (and neither are breasts or a bare behind on either sex for that matter) and even then most actresses today are using merkins (pubic wigs) for any nude scenes). It seems kind of strange to me that in this era of supposed sexual equality the male sex organ is so admired, celebrated, and talked about, while the female is completely ignored and hidden away as if it's some "dirty little secret". I know our culture has always been phallocentric, but it seems to be becoming more and more so, and I for one don't believe in the "inherent superiority of the male sex organ" that seems to pervade our culture.
