Handmaid of the Horned God

I watched this week's True Blood this morning before work...It was a really good episode.

First of all, we found out what Marianne is, sort of. She's come kind of ancient immortal heathen goddess who feeds off of lust and other evil emotions in humans. Or something. Anyway, she killed Daphne, and what she wants to do is cut out Sam's heart and eat it or something? Anyway, that cements the her interest in Tara is just to screw with Sam theory.

Sookie and Hugo were locked in the Fellowship of The Sun basement and it turns out that Hugo is the traitor of the Dallas vamps. Bill and Marie began sorting out their issues and we saw yet another flashback, to their time together, when Marie finally released him from her control as his maker. It was interesting because once again we were given a multifaceted look at a character. Marie seems to truly love Bill, in her way. In the same line, while it seemed in the past that Eric's interest in Sookie was a combination of curiosity and vindictive jealousy, this episode showed that he seems to have some true feeling toward her.

When Hugo revealed Sookie's identity to Steve, it had repricussions for Jason. Mainly that Sarah shot him. We don't know what's going to happen now.

Also, Tara is starting to figure out that there's something not right with Marianne, mostly because Arlene is also starting to freak out, and she now knows it's not all in her head.

Plus Jessica and Hoyt lost their virginities. But doesn't Jessica stay a virgin forever, cuz she was one when she became a vampire? Maybe not. Anyway, I love their subplot, I think it's such an adorable little distraction from the real story. You know, like Jenny and Erik stuff on GG.

And then in the last few shots we saw Godric. He looked extremely Cullen-esque. Kinda a bummer, I wanted to see a big hulking Buffy/Angel style vamp there.
