Everything that happens in TrueBlood, sans Sookie's Faeryland excursion, happens, like, one-day removed from the other awful shit that went previously went down.

It's to the point where I feel PHYSICALLY annoyed whenever the werewolf plotlines show up. Like, my face starts to hurt.

Dead Nazis and Nantucket; a fine way to start the day.

meh.

I am fully erect.

"Tell my wife I said, 'Hello.'"

Your punishment must be more severe.

The good people of Minnesota elected her.

Doesn't Morgan Freeman's character die in Red?

The Ifrit simply fails to live up to the hype it's being given, as it resembles, at best, a minor grease-fire. It lacks both the dark Otherish foreboding of the Maenad and Russel's devilish charm.

That's appropriate, as this season looks to be taking a nosedive just after take-off.

The Ifrit and faeries really seal it for me. How do any of them impact the larger story? How do ANY of the subplots impact the larger story? Are they going to drag the goddam fire demon into a nest of vampires? Pit faeries against werewolves? Hate-monger rednecks against Miss Cleo LaLa? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!
