brigdhI didn't watch very much this past week, so only two episodes:
True Blood
Bill is suicidal now, apparently, but I just don't care. I don't care if he's suicidal as a side-effect of Hep-V, if it's because of some new-found philosophical object to being a vampire, or if it has something to do with Sookie being a fairy, which I don't really understand but which gets repeated a lot. I had thought he was going to die this season, but now I'm not so sure.
Meanwhile, Sam did not get killed off! He just left town forever without mentioning it to anyone. Whatever. I guess we did have to get rid of some more characters.
I wish the Lafayette/James relationship had gotten some more screentime, but since there's only one episode left, that's clearly not going to happen.
"She had given birth... to death!" Oh, Lord, this show. Bill, you had a nightmare. It's not that dramatic.
And then Hoyt randomly punches Jason? I'm really confused about why that happened. Anyway, Hoyt and Jessica hook up because "they're meant to be together" (nah, I shipped Jason/Jessica) and meanwhile Jason and Hoyt's girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend, I guess) very conspicuously do not hook up.
Oh my god, Jason charming the airline woman over he phone is hilarious. I love Jason as inexplicable-seducer-of-all.
"I was young... and immature." Jessica, it has been like six months. A year at most. You are not that much older.
""I could not have sex with her. People do that all the time: not have sex. Not me." Awww, Jason. I also love his insecurity.
And then there was the most bizarre sex scene ever recorded, between Ginger and Eric. I'm not entirely sure Eric even got his pants off before Ginger loudly climaxed (from... anticipation, I guess?). Good to know the show wasn't going to end with her still unfulfilled.
The Musketeers
The Challenge: "I went to Gascony once. It was full of sheep and hedges." HAAAAAA. Louis may be my favorite character.
OMG I love Porthos and Aramis blatantly looking for a 'patroness' when they need money. However, Porthos, I am not really convinced at your flirtation skills here. This widow's seducing you way more than you're seducing her.
And then d'Artagnan runs away from the middle of sword practice because he hears some bad news. Good idea, definitely convincing people to let you join the Musketeers there. Oh, d'Artagnan. You ran away so that you could go after this guy alone? This is one of your dumber ideas. Even if you get a confession out of this episode's bad guy, how would you even explain it?
Ohhhh, of course it's thirty livre they need, if D'artagnan is going to get the money from Milday. I get your ~subtle reference!
Are the other guys eating popcorn while they watch Porthos fight? That is hilarious.
OMG CONSTANCE AND D'ARTAGNAN DID YOU JUST KISS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET? You are the worst at secret affairs. No wonder Constance's husband caught you. And really, I think "I want you to dump him" is the best possible response one could expect from your husband finding out about your secret affair. Well, other than "let's have a threesome", but no one wants to have a threesome with Bonacieux.
Dude, there is no way the king remembers who Bonacieux is or that he's not really a musketeer. I'm not buying that Louis spontaneously named him a Musketeer; someone totally whispered it in his ear.
