True Blood

[stray]

What rank was the vampire who judged Bill and made him eat the redhead?

He was a Magister.. They're judges all over the country from what I can tell. I remember the character said he used to be an Inquisitor. So I guess he isn't as old as Northmen or this Godric character. Not sure if that has anything to do with rank.

[Sky]

Erik mentioned at one point that Godric had turned down higher positions, I think.

[Tebonas]

You think right. Erik said Godric was beloved by his minions and could have been king, but didn't want to.

[Tale]

woo, story moved forward!

[lac]

So did Hoyt!

[Ookii]

Goddamn this tv show is such hot shit.

[JWIV]

So did Hoyt!

I see I need to watch this episode ASAP

[Evil Elvis]

I really should have seen the pig reveal coming.

We received no indication that shape changers had multiple forms. The only thing that vaguely hinted at this was Bill trusting Sam to protect Sookie implying he could become something else.

One of the very first things Sam says to Sookie when she discovers he's a shapeshifter, is that he can turn into lots of stuff, but he prefers dogs, because they're easy, most animals leave them alone, etc.

Yeah this is now my favourite show. That was a great episode. Fuck HBO does good television. Deadwood, Sopranos, True Blood...

EDIT: And after the Sopranos - best appropriate theme song ever.

... The Wire, Rome, Generation Kill, Flight of the Conchords ...

I stand corrected, I forgot all about that.

Shapeshifters I believe from what was said by the bar owner could turn into any animal that they have seen we have seen him in the form of two different dogs. One is a lil beagle looking dog and one is the mutt seen in the first season. From what it sounds each shifter has a form they find most comfortable and use that as their go to form. But the bar owner said he could even do birds but that flying was hard so he did not use that form much if at all.

One thing that kinda surpises me though and it may just be because they have not pulled it out yet but if I was a shape shifter I would make damn sure to visit zoo's a few times and find a nice big bear or tiger or lion and learn the form enough where in life and death emergancies I had a good combat form. Being a puppy is cute for snuggling with hot women but not so good when crazy greek legends start gunning for you.

[Tebonas]

While you are right it would be inconsequental for his current problems, since the crazy greek legend can influence and therefore most likely disrupt his shifting powers. Remember when she threatened to make him change in front of people if he tried to stop her.

[kaid]

It appears she can force him to shift but I don't believe it was ever stated that she could force him to turn to a specific form. All we have seen from him so far are dog forms but that may or may not be all he knows well enough to shift into. The crazy greek lady I believe her powers are more of unlocking the inner savage inside people either for sex or for violence or both at the same time. Since a shifters wild side would be that of the animal it would make sense she could force the change but may or may not have any control of what he changes into.

[Tebonas]

She forced him into his default form when she showed him she can back up her threat. Which would most likely be the form his "shifter wild side" would choose.

[angry.bob]

It's probably not covered in the "rules" of this particular fictional universe, but I wonder if he's limited to shifting to animals he's seen seen live. If not, would watching Jurasic Park and going to some museums let him shift into a TRex? Whoat about the queen from Aliens? Or a Hydra? SInce aparntly everything that we've ever had a legend for still lives amongst us in secret, hydra were probably real animals too. Oooooooo... or a basilisk.   

Also, preacher's wife needs to tits or gtfo. I'm not sure what the issue is with her. She's been b&p in all her other roles and she's naked on stage with Harry Potter in Equus.

Yes, he said he needs a blueprint to do it.

Here's the clip where he explains the shapeshifting thing.

Polar bear form to save his ass :)

[Hindenburg]

"I know that pig!"

Jesus christ.   This season gets more and more awesome with each episode.    Also, GO HOYT.

[Tale]

It's taking so long and going so perfectly it can't just end with sex. I think she's going to drain him accidentally on instinct and drive herself insane. The crazy supervillain of series 3?

I have a suspicion you're at least partially right.  This relationship is entirely too perfect and  healthy for this show to allow it to last. 

[Ookii]

After each episode I make passionate love to my TV for bringing such fine entertainment into my home.

[Slayerik]

Yes, this is gettin' good!

[Hayduke]

First episode where Sam has been interesting since season 1.  Also if drunk detective is a supe that'd be hilarious, but I can't remember if he ever had the black saucer eyes.

Ha, I never noticed that.  He's never been affected by any of the parties.

Edit: I remember he was affected at the bar when he began dancing.

Yah, but that could've just been alcohol.  Plus that shifter said she could exert some influence, just not complete control.  Or at least that's the impression I got.  I'm probably wrong, but I liked that guy in the Wire.  Seems a shame to waste him as just a drunk.

They've been focusing on him so much lately you figure they'll either kill him off or he'll become something greater.

He does, others may not.

I'm saddened by her death. She had a terribly nice rack.

[Slayerik]

She was hot all over.

[Riggswolfe]

I'm saddened by her death. She had a terribly nice rack.

I'm only sad because Sam didn't kill her. Sam needs to stop being such a damned pussy.
