Hoyt was surprisingly kind of hot last night. I read in another recap that the actor is doing "Of Mice and Men" on Broadway (just looked it up, he plays Slim, the mule-driver.)

Your recap makes all of the above somehow sound much better than it actually was.

She's got a no nudity clause! I want to see her titays!

I was going to post the exact same thing. How did ANY of that relate to the actual revelation? ("I'm sorry I didn't shoot Daddy-because I was a small child and clearly that would be my responsibility-thus sparing you a life of alcoholism and sweat-soaked scenery chewing.")

He got pretty hard core ruined before he left. But the actor gave such a brilliant performance last night, I'm surprised to find myself rooting for him (but not to move back to fucking Bon Temps and start banging Jessica again. Those two clearly broke up for a reason.)

That was so ridiculous and patently engineered to have Hoyt save the day. It's like even the writers have given up. She hears all the talk about people being kidnapped and waits till they get to Violet's house to worry—about Hep V vamps (don't worry Bridget—uh, was that your name? The show has already forgot about…

It was a little sad to see Hoyt sad, but Mrs. Fortenberry was as terrible in her own way as Lettie Mae.

I have to say I did quite unexpectedly enjoy Hoyt's return. I mean, they are angling for some ridiculous 11th hour girlfriend switcheroo between him and Jason, but Jim Parrack, Deborah Ann Woll and Ryan Kwanten acted their asses off last night. They all deserve better, but they truly elevated the material.

I feel like this was a retroactive D for last week as well.

Somehow, I found myself hoping against hope that there was something interesting and relevant in Tara's story, or at least a totally wacky deus ex machina. Instead, it's a redemption arc for Lettie Mae-something the viewership has been clamoring for!

Well, a crooked lawyer who tried to take advantage of a dying man. I can't take much umbrage at that.

They've totally gone off the rails from the books. The last three seasons have nothing in common with the Harris series.

Poor Sam. I think I only still kind of like him because of the books and the actor is trying his best.

Or Patrick Duffy will have dreamed the whole thing.

It seems like they are either pushing for Bill to die and make us care, or for Sookie and Bill to somehow end up together. And as I doubt they have the balls to kill him, I'd be willing to wager money on this being true.

Those teens really look like teens. I like nudity as much as anyone, but what the shit? Now I can't even have my homoeroticism and strap-ons with adults? Fuck you, True Blood.

All I could think of was Stockwell creepily lip syncing that song. Somehow David Lynch knew we would need that image one day. He is a wizard!

You learn to move on fast in Bon Temps. Sam's shifter gf was barely dead-and he had given her kid back to the redneck werewolf grandmother she hadn't approved of that got said kid abducted in the first place-before he knocked up that latest dumb bitch who just left town.

The books went downhill at some point but Harris at least had a clear road map of where she was going and they took much longer to get bad (I think b/c her idea was originally 10 books and at some point that got stretched to 13.)

I do not get the Violet sex toy room at all. She was so prim with Jason and said it was her Catholic morals. He had go to do down on her for like 6 months. And then meanwhile she's got a sex dungeon with an antique strap-on collection? It was just so random and that character that I don't care about kidnapped more…
