TRUE BLOOD “Shake And Fingerpop” Review (Season 2 Episode 4)

Can you believe they made us wait two weeks for this?! But TRUE BLOOD is finally back this Sunday, July 12, with an exciting all new episode, “Shake And Fingerpop.”

Well, let me tell you, True Blood gets better and better. I don’t know how they sustain it every week, but they do. So how about we look at some of the things you can expect from this new episode.

Jason

In this episode, Jason continues to become friendlier with Reverend Steve and his wife, Sarah, which actually fuels jealousy from some of the other people at the camp, especially Luke. He also gets put on a new mission. Can’t wait to see how that one’s going to turn out.

Oh and I have to mention my favorite quote, which is typical Jason:

Luke: “God will make sure evil gets punished.”

Jason: “Yeah, then explain Europe to me.”

You just have to love him, he just can’t help it.

Sam

Sam’s plans to leave town are being pushed back a little. And if you remember, at the end of last episode we saw that Daphne had a big scar on her back (which looked like the same one Sookie got). We don’t learn much more about her scar, but her relationship with Sam does evolve, and there is a small reveal towards the end of the episode.

Tara

Tara makes a big decision in this episode, which impacts her living arrangements. It’s also her birthday and let’s just say Maryann has some big plans for her.

Lafayette

Poor Lafayette is recovering from his few days of nightmare. But let me tell you, there is this hilarious scene between Eric and Lafayette you don’t want to miss. This is why so many people love his character.

Jessica

In the last episode, Bill interrupted Jessica and Hoyt’s night together. Unfortunately, we won’t see much of them in this episode, but something tells me it’s not the end of their relationship.
Until then, Jessica ends up going to Dallas with Bill and Sookie. And I have to say, I really love her and I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble she gets herself into during the trip.

Sookie

Sookie and Bill head to Dallas, but there is a surprise waiting for them at the arrival.
Also this week’s cliffhanger involves Sookie, and is pretty damn cool if you ask me. I definitely didn’t see it coming and I doubt you will either.

So don’t forget to tune in to True Blood this Sunday, July 12, at 9pm on HBO.

    Sandie – I have been waiting what feels like SO long for this! Man I love this show. Now with Harper’s Island gone, I guess we can concentrate on this one :)

    Having read the books, it is also fascinating to me to see how they are followed and what they choose to deviate from that is in the books.

    @Dani – I know I wish we didn’t have to wait so long between each episode (and yes, even a week is too long).

    At first I wanted to read the books, but I decided against it so that I can experience the show without knowing anything about it. Maybe I’ll read the book related to each season after they air. Although I did hear they are really good.

    Either way, I just love the show and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

    Sandie – it was probably a wise decision not to read the books. That way everything is a surprise to you (like the Sookie ciffhanger). That is why I stopped reading after book 6 I think. The problem will be that starting with this season they are going to be using plotlines and characters from the 2nd book on which will make it hard to be able to just say “oh now I can read book two.”

    Just came back to say this episode was chock full of zingy one liners which I loved! The best actually came from Jason although I am growing weary of his storyline entirely. As an FYI – Jason is not in the books that much. Probably for good reason. Anyway, my favorite other than the one you listed was:

    Creepy guy: How’s your lip? You got a little blood.
    Jason. Fine. How’s your nose?
    Creepy guy: What?
    BAM!

    Awesome. I like Jason as a bad ass!
