True Blood
S06E03 “You’re No Good“
I am kind of having fun with this, the series flows a lot
better when you watch it with little downtime and the flow of the story fresh
in your mind through writing these recaps. So grab a cool beverage and settle
in so we can talk all about True Blood Season 6, Episode 3 “You’re No Good”.
Jason what is wrong with him and why oh why does no one seem
to care? Elsewhere Eric decided not to eviscerate the daughter of the Governor,
I can’t see how that could possibly go wrong. Reverend Newland got himself
picked up by the Anti-Vamp squad.
The journalist/civil rights activists/pushy hipsters help
Lafayette and Glass Jim I mean Sam back into his place after the wolves left
with Emma. Lafayette gave them a warning to stay away from all things
supernatural and dun dun dun it was like foreshadowing.
Billith decides that the Sun has been talking shit behind
his back and he’s about to go outside to have a chat in what I have called the
Brouhaha in Bon Temps I think I’m going to go with the bookmakers on this one
though.
Niall heads out on the hunt for Warlow and heads down to the
Fae refuge which is empty of people and yet full of blood. After Niall finishes
doing some impressive fae CSI he leaves the refuge only to meet up with Ben whose
last name is Flynn somehow only managed to find it a day and a half after being
given the directions by Sookie. I still think he is a spy probably for Warlow
but we will have to wait and see.
Jason and Sookie FINALLY have a talk after Jason spending most
of last season completely nuts and he explained about his hallucinations and
Sookie suggests he go to the hospital, I figure if one of the few living
relatives you have left comes to you with that you might be a little more
insistent but whatever.
So we head off to the Sheriff station where they have taken
delivery of new anti-vampire weaponry including those UV bullets and we see it
is take your daughters to work day because the kids are there and they have
done another age jump, got to be good for working child actresses in Hollywood
right? Anyway Andy’s ex comes in after getting scared to death by hungry
vampires the night before so he takes her off for some gun training.
The wolf compound has some unexpected visitors in the form
of two dick cops looking for Emma’s dad who strangely enough has disappeared
from his house. They somehow manage to make it out alive after Alcide’s mate
manages to scare Emma into shifting. This whole scene is a little throwaway
except for a suspicious owl looking on.
Andy shows that his game is strong and manages to get back
in his lady friend’s good book because as I well know chicks love guns.
Niall drops his entire millennia long back story on Ben who
decides to join up in the fight against Warlow. This seemed a little weird to
me I would have thought Niall would have been more secretive about what he was
doing but I guess when you are royalty perhaps you see the good in people or
perhaps Fae are far more trusting than humans.
Jessica and Bill make plans to avert the vampocalypse™ and
Bill sends Jessica off in an inappropriate outfit to find the creator of True
Blood and Bill goes off to speak to Sookie.
Meanwhile back at the Vamp Camp the Newlands are bickering
and I could care less, it is not interesting in the least though that hair is
more than a little impressive.
Jessica’s mission is a success because well the guy had a
pulse and that outfit is all kinds of fan service. Bill’s mission ends in
failure and Jason getting bounced around like a sack of potatoes we do see that
he has some serious control over his telekinetic abilities, Bill also says
Sookie is dead to him which was interesting to think about as we go further
through the series.
The journalists/activists show up at the Wolf compound and
things escalate quickly, though they were being idiots trying to secretly tape
things. Side note Rikki is seriously buff, things fall apart and half the pack
decides to shift and go out for some hipster snacks, Sam seizes the opportunity
for a jailbreak and then loses my respect when he decides to go after the head
activist putting Emma at risk of recapture.
The governor has figured out where his daughter is or at
least who took her and calls Eric. Can I just ask at this point how old is she
meant to be because I assumed she was like 25, finished college and was working
as an intern for dad but the earlier scenes with the backstory make it seem
like she is supposed to be much younger. It doesn’t take long before Eric
realises the gig is up but even before that Tara steals the girl away scared
that Eric might actually execute her in retaliation for the Governor’s action,
personally though I wasn’t convinced.
Back at Sookie’s house, Niall and Ben arrive but then
quickly set off to capture, Eric’s sister who is watching for Warlow too.
Bill gets stopped by Sheriff Andy and seemingly senses the
fae scene in Andy’s car, as he gets the whole evil mastermind look going on
when he is walking away. That is all that mattered in “You’re No Good” an
episode that is a come down from “The Sun” but still manages to be better than
the premiere. Next week I am changing up the style of the recap to be less
literal and more about my feelings while watching. What did you think “You’re
No Good”?
