Please tell me there was more to this episode than sex. Did any plot developments happen? ANYTHING to make this season move forward?

The scene with Godwrick was awesome. It was definitely predictable, but it was also perfectly executed, so it's a net win. Eric being a ridiculously skilled Norse warrior was hilarious and kick-ass at the same time. I was also wondering when they'd bring in gay vampires and kid vampires; two birds with one stone!
Fake edit: I forgot that the guy from Office Space was gay, but he doesn't really count because he was a total n00b.

Yeah I actually thought that scene was very well done. They played it nicely and I would like to see more of that side of the show. I also liked that sepia effect they did for it. And which gay vamp and kid vamp were you referring too? Godwrick....?

Bill and Sookie pillowtalk is always pretty snooze-worthy, but the rest of the episode was decent. Eric's origin with Godric was rad.

Yea, Godwrick was totally fawning over Eric. He only noticed Eric because he was amazing on the battlefield, which means he's admiring his physicality. Then he offered Eric the chance to "walk with him" and be his father, brother, and son. Godwrick was totally infatuated with Eric. And all vampire relationships are inherently sexual, what with the fluid exchange and all the sucking and necking. There's also Eric's reaction toward Godwrick in the present scenes. Eric cares a lot more about Godwrick than Bill does about his maker. Plus, the line where Eric brags to his fellow soldiers about getting women almost feels like an ironic set-up for the Godwrick/Eric romance.
OMG, Godrich all over my face - I did look him up and . . . HE'S LEGAL!!!!!!! Haha, actually, he looked far better in the scene in the show then the one headshot I found, and he's 10 years my junior, but oh well.
Eric and the whole vampire mythos of this show is really far more interesting than most of the hokey Sookie & Bill stuff this epsiode, and I'm glad to see they're bringing back Bill's maker (when they showed those scenes in the "previously on" it was obvious she was going to show up). I have no idea whether it's really part of the book's mythos or not, but the historical backstories of all the vampires are really intriguing.
And yeah . . . the whole Marryanne in the kitchen in the apron was just a bit ridiculous, I mean, come on.

Ummmmmm . . . yeah, you think so? I honestly can't tell whether you're insulting me or honestly think that scene was an example of subtlety in writing. I wasn't confused by the damn thing, the only way they could have made it more obvious was to ship Alan Ball over to my house and have him hit me over the head with a bat while holding a sign that said "Marryanne is trying to be Gran!!! Get it, Tara wants a mommy!!! Oh poor, poor Tara!!"
It was so damn annoyingly obvious and in your face that that's what I'm complaining about. It's the first overtly ridiculous thing in this show that I've complained about, but it was sooooo over the top that I literally got out of my seat and threw my hands in the air in frustration. I'm not even a Tara hater and her storyline actually annoyed me more than Jason's this episode.

Tara better turn out to have some type of special powers or something. because they are putting wayy too much interest and focus on her lame ass story.

I can think of much better ways that screen time can be used instead of hearing her bitch and moan in every episode. Seriously every episode she has done nothing but complain. She was better last season this season she has served her purpose. Please kill her off. Isn't it time for a significant story related death by now?

Jessica: "They have sex on TV?"
Sookie: "I know! It's it gross?"
:lol I love this show.

No I'm with you. This episode was slow b/c it was Tara-centric.
Damn that bathtub scene was super hot. I've never thought that preacher's wife was all that good looking, but damn that was a dirty/sexy scene.
I don't like the appearance of Bill's maker. There's already a long list of actresses on this show that haven't done nudity yet. Let's wrap some of that up before we start adding more, okay?
edit: If they keep doing origin stories then we better get a clan MacLeod cameo.
Surely his name must be spelled Godric, right? (Godwrick/Godrick/Gawdrikhe)
Anyhow, I think that if it weren't for the fact that the first season was really enjoyable, I'd be so over this right now. I've found Season 2 is moving waaay slow, waaay too obvious and a little too uninteresting so far.
Fortunately there are a few bright spots (Jessica being right near the top)

Anyone else scared of the grandmother in that photograph Sookie gave Tara? She looks like a devil in it.

I do not understand the unnecessary photoshopping on it, just looks horrible and creepy.davidthemute said:
-Jessica is fiery hot as always
-Eric's backstory is fucking badass (Put one vote in from me as Godrick being Mayan)
-Sarah and Jason... JUST a handjob, really?
-Michelle Forbes looks much more gracefully aged (milf) without the makeup
-Now that they're a pair off set, does this automatically mean we need a "Don't worry so much, oh and I want you inside me" moment between Bill and Sookie EVERY damn episode?

No but I fucking hate Maryann
.And yes the Bill and Sookie stuff is a little too much. I mean we don't have to see it every episode and we don't need to hear the 'vampire love' theme song every time they kiss either.
Jessica is hot as ever, god I want her
. She is so my type ( well except the vampire ), but I love redheads so yeah . The episode was really slow though. and FUCK I hate Maryann. And who's Bill's maker?

Some dumb bitch who used to live in some shitty cabin feasting on deserting civil war soldiers passing by. I hope after Sookie infiltrates the Fellowship of the Sun, she manages to get one of those guns and full-auto riddles her with wood bullets.MMaRsu said:

To be fair, even Season 1 had lot of filler, especially when you consider that the driving force of both seasons ostensibly has been a murderer on the loose. It never really seemed like anyone cared about the murderer the first time around, which is why they had to kill someone every few episodes to remind the audience. This season seems to only have the 1 murder of someone no one cares about, so obviously they're going to meander about.
Still, fuck the haters, this is still one of the most entertaining and sexy shows ever. Tonight's episode, even with so little nudity, was probably one of the sexiest hours of TV ever.

I'm getting kind of sick of the whole Tara/Maryann/Sam storyline. I wish they would take a break from that for an episode and focus on the Austin crew. Eric's origin was supremely awesome.
Needs more Jessica, too.

I'm so happy to see Lafayette's returned to the general population. He's the only one who could be bitchy back to Tara and I love him for it. Wondering how long it takes for him to open up to people again after his kidnapping. He's dressed up all black and sad, it's messed up YO!
Also, I forgot that the cook is an Iraq vet. Wonder if that turns into anything. And that shape shifter girl sure is pushing herself onto Sam. It's dangerous!

I think since Erik can monitor him now he's gonna be more subdued, at least until he can figure a way around it.Mr_Kitty_Fantastico said:
