Hookah Please

" Ring, ring hookah! Ring, Ring!" So who is gonna miss the hell out of True Blood's Lafayette? If you've read the books than you know Lafayette gets killed off early on in the second book, but because of the popularity of his character they decided to keep him on the series. Good call on that one! I can't imagine True Blood without him.

I LOVE Lafayette, hands down he's one of my favorite characters ever! He delivers the best lines, I'm always eagerly anticipating what he's going to say.  He's tough and yet has the longest lashes and most makeup of anyone on the show, and he can rock a pair of gold pants like no other. Lafayette is just one of those characters you will always remember...I am probably going to miss him the most, as the series is coming to an end. 

I've posted a few of his best moments...enjoy Hookahs!!!!!

Say Goodbye to Our Favorite Wolf

It's not real, Alcide isn't dead. Our HOT wolf with his smouldering eyes, gorgeous physique, and genuine sincerity is gone? Another True Blood shocker last night, as we lose another beloved character and the season just began. First Tara, now Alcide!!! I didn't want to believe it, but there's no coming back from that.

So I guess the good guy doesn't get the girl! Instead he winds up dead trying to protect her. I feel like this final season of True Blood is taking on Game of Thrones like undertones, don't get attached to anyone. The problem with that is we've been so attached to these characters season after season. When Alcide first came on screen he sure gave Eric a run for his money, if you happen to like the tall, dark and chiseled type. From the beginning, Alcide never had an agenda, and he was honestly just a really good guy. Even when his character got a little dark he still ended up doing the right thing, and being the better person. Then he finally gets the girl, and not just any girl but Sookie. (That should have been our first clue, that no good can come from that).

If only Sookie had listened to him when he suggested they keep driving, away from Bon Temps, but that would never be a realistic option. Not where Sookie is concerned. Always in the middle of the chaos is where you'll find Sookie. Last night was no different, asking Bill to help her in one of her ridiculous and dangerous plans. Even admitting to Bill that while she loves Alcide, she feels he loves her more, and wishing he'd love her a little less. Really, Sookie!!!??? I was pretty pissed off about that, knowing he's coming to save her...then shots ring out, and Alcide goes down for good. I pretty much stopped paying attention after that, because denial set in. 

Good bye Alcide, you will be missed...

The Question Is, Who Hasn't Been With Sookie?

Who says you can't have it all! And our beloved Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood has had plenty...of hot men that is! Who hasn't she hooked up with on the show? Each one better looking than the next! 

We all know it started with a certain Mr. Bill Compton. One of the biggest draws for her, besides him being the first vamp in Bon Temps, was that she couldn't hear his thoughts. One of the most asked questions throughout the entire series was asked of Sookie time and time again, "What are you?" She definitely was not just your typical Merlotte's waitress, but it wasn't until season 3 that we learned about Sookie's true faerie nature. Maybe it’s the faerie blood or maybe a centuries old contract, but whatever the reason, "Sookie is MINE," was quite the common sentiment.

So take a deep breath and let's take a look back at Sookie's Suitors!!

Is It All a Dream...True Blood Style

So I bet the first few minutes of last night’s True Blood episode left you a little hot and bothered. We've seen it before, vivid sex dreams throughout the seasons. There was Jason with Warlow and Sam with Bill. To that point, last nights’ Jason & Eric dream tops the charts. I'm happy with any sex dream that involves Eric.

So our favorite Viking and our loveable dimwit share some erotic (I mean tender) moments under the dim lighting, music playing, in what appeared to be a Spanish villa, somewhere. Shirts off, six packs out, kissing...then Jason wakes up in a church of all places! Dream over and back to reality...but not before he hits his head, and sneaks a peak at his crotch.

The remainder of the episode was filled with despair as we see the havoc that the Hep-V vamps are causing everywhere. An entire town gone, with no help coming, it looks pretty bleak for the residents of Bon Temps. In their search to find some answers, Sookie stumbles upon a diary of a girl, the dead girl they found in the woods. The diary reads like a retelling of a story all too familiar for Sookie. Girl meets vampire, girls falls in love with vampire, and the world starts crumpling around her. Cue the flashback to season 1, when she talks Bill into taking her to Fangtasia. It was bittersweet to see them together back then, and I'm glad they included that in the episode.

Speaking of Fangtasia, that is where Arlene, Holly and Nicole, among others are being held captive. Arlene desperate to get them free recognizes one of the infected vamps as her child's former teacher and uses that to convince her to let them go. Mission accomplished - or so we think. One quick feed from Arlene before she frees them, but then she just dissolves into a puddle of black vamp goo. The big question here is why? Conclusion, the humans are still screwed!

So its starts out with an erotic sex dream, then a whole lot of depressing events, followed up by Eric...Eric with the tell-tale signs of Hep-V veins peeking out from his shirt. 

I felt a little emotionally drained after last night’s episode, what did you think?

A Look Back...Tara Mae Thornton

As our fangtastic series True Blood is coming to an end, I thought it would be cool to go back and reminisce about some of our most beloved characters. Since this week we lost Tara, I thought it was only right to remember Sookie's best friend.

I think what I like most about Tara was her candidness. Tara never minced words, and she would be the first to tell you exactly how she felt. Holding back what she thought was not quite her strong suit. Tara was also fiercely protective of those she cared about, even if it meant losing her own life as a human. Tara's story is a sad one, raised by an abusive mother, and equally neglected. She lost the love of her life, and she became what she loathed, she even died twice, (even though that's up for debate). But beyond that tough exterior, she was just a girl who wanted to be loved. Tara was defensive and insecure, and equally feisty and a fighter. She struggled with what she became, but she learned to embrace it. Tara was a very complex character.

Below are some of my favorite Tara moments.
Season 1:
"Oh, this aint rude. This is upitty. THAT'S FOR PATTIN' MY ASS TO MUCH! IMA GET MY BABY DADDY, WHO JUST GOT OUTTA PRISON, TO COME KICK YOUR TEETH IN!" And this is our introduction to Tara!!!

Season 2:
Season 2 brought that crazy Maenad Maryann who caused havoc in Bon Temps. We also got to meet Eggs (Benedict) who became Tara's love interest.

Season 3:

Tara depressed over the death of Eggs, took brief comfort in the arms and fangs of the psychopathic vampire Franklin.

Season 4:

In the beginning of the season we find Tara in Nawlins under the alias Tony, cage fighting with her girlfriend Naomi. As soon as she finds out Sookie has returned to Bon Temps,she does as well, only to find herself in another mess, this time with the witches. In a season finale shocker Tara takes a bullet for Sookie...ending her human life.

Season 5:

Tara becomes what she hates the most, a vampire. Pam is Tara's maker and saves her from killing herself, and teaches her how to feed. Tara struggled this season trying to adapt to what she has become.

Season 6:

Tara and Eric turn themselves in when Pam is captured and taken to Vamp Camp. In this season,Tara is starting to get comfortable with what she is now. In the last episode, Pam leaves to find Eric, leaving Tara to look after the newest vamp Willa.

Season 7:

Two minutes into the first episode and Tara is (supposedly) a pile of vampire goo. What a way to start the season. I think its important to point out we never do actually see Tara die in the fight scene with the Hep-V infected vamps. Will we see her again perhaps, I guess we have to wait and see!

We LOVE you Tara!!! And you will be missed. Always a fighter to the very end...

The Beginning of the End...True Blood

Without a doubt, True Blood has always been one of my favorite shows. Its sad and bittersweet that this is the end of the series. There was much anticipation for last nights premier. And it did NOT disappoint!!! The episode catered to the the human/vampire survival pairing thing,  “For every human a vampire. For every vampire a human.” With infected vamps causing chaos from the big cities to the small towns like Bon Temps, its not safe for anyone.

With a vicious attack from the Hep V-infected vamps, there were deaths and kidnapping right from the start (Arlene, Holly, and a very pregnant Nicole, to name a few). Nice way to kick off the new season. Then...wait, what??!! Tara's dead?? Without witnessing the death itself, we see her mother Lettie Mae covered in dead vamp goo...ie, Tara!!! Tara and her mother have always had a turbulent relationship, but the end of season six, Lettie Mae is begging Tara to drink from her, so she can finally nourish her. Tara does, and there's a reconciliation, an acceptance starting to formulate...then, we lose her...

I've read several articles that all say the same thing....no one is convinced Tara is dead. What do you think? Will we be seeing Tara again?
I guess we just have to wait and see...so in the interim, I thought I'd share some of Tara's most memorable quotes....

"Giving vampire blood to Jason Stackhouse is like giving ho-hos to a diabetic. You know he can't control himself!"
"I don't know what I expect - trash is as trash does."
"Yeah cause nothing says 'sorry' like a tuna cheese casserole."
"The one time in my life I thought I was happy, I was a f*ckin zombie."
"I'm an excellent driver. But you cannot prepare for a naked lady and a hog in the middle of the road!"
"Oh, this ain't rude. This is uppity!"
