True Blood Season 3 Episode 1 Review - Bad Blood

The earlier episodes showed that a vampire called Bill Compton and a telepathic barmaid Anna Paquin (Sookie) from Louisiana town get into a romantic relationship after the vampire walked into where Anna Paquin works. The long wait and suspense ended when the “True Blood” began from where it left earlier. This week’s episode is titled “Bad Blood”. It opens with Anna Paquin discovering that her love Bill had been kidnapped. She begins searching him wildly along with werewolves, bad blood and gay porn.

Actually, Bill Compton has been kidnapped by Patrick Swayze’s brother. Patrick Swayze’s bro and his allies kidnap Bill Compton in a car. While the kidnappers are having an enjoyable time on the car, our vampire manages to break free of his fetters and create a big car crash which kills one person among the kidnappers. Deserted and drained out, Bill Compton faints away. Ahead of fainting Bill manages to send a signal to Jess but Jess is unable to get what the signal means.

Anna Paquin gets more worried about her beloved’s whereabouts and makes a complaint to the police. The police however consider that it is Sookie’s fault because she earlier had been unwilling to give a positive response to Bill’s proposal. In extreme rage, Sookie begs help from everyone including the infidel Eric to help her find her beloved. In a flirting manner, the colloquial Eric consents to help her in finding Bill.

Eric who usually has another plan, has nothing in Bill’s kidnapping case. The only reason behind is that the kidnappers had beat him to the punch. This makes Pam who is usually tireless to fall back if Eric does not tell about this Queenie by himself.

Queenie will be unhappy if Eric does not find out the vampire Bill Compton as he was needed for the V themed machinations. As luck would have it, she goes to Fangtasia that night along with the magister in town. A need arises that they need to talk about the stampede that happened all of a sudden in that location. They understand that a vampire is accountable for the torrent. So they go to Eric for solution.

The duo Eric and Queenie collocate with each other well till the magister in town goes away from there. After he leaves, Queenie realises that Eric would break out and start replying for all of her criminal acts if he does not move the rest of the V which Queenie gave him. If the V which was given to him by Queenie is not moved within 24 hrs duration, Eric will be replying the truth for all her criminal acts.

Queenie is in need of money at present and so she makes Eric and Lafayette, Eric’s local V conduit to give in. On the other hand, as luck would have it, she is not after Bill now.

Lafayette himself is not happy with his ongoing events in his life. His compulsion to do away with Tara from Sookie’s and Merlotte’s house after Tara had attacked Arlene and later her best pal, has made him to totally depend on Tara’s mum who is an earlier drunkard and an irritate. Since he has to work in two jobs, and at the same time sell V, he has little time in his hands and he is in a compulsive situation to work with Tara’s mother alone.

Mrs Tara knows that no one can save her daughter but God. She doesn’t heed to anything that had recently occurred in the life of Jason, therefore she feels that Reverend Daniels would visit her.

Since she got one more opportunity to get Tara back, a happy Mrs Tara carelessly pays less attention to the pills. Taking advantage of this, Tara gulps down all the pills inside the bathroom of Lafayette. There are so many pills that Lafayette has.

Both Jason’s and Tara’s reaction to the news about the involvement of Jason in the murder of Egg is severe. However luck would have it, Andy spreads the news that he killed Egg as a measure of self defence. Since all stuffs seem to go normally, Jason starts to his usual drinking habit soon. Andy uses this opportunity to send two women with Jason from the bar to home when all the people around at the Merlotte’s were noticing him. Jason’s guilt reveals him.

Jess keeps watch all over the place. Jason was brought from the bar, spots the flowers of Hoyt and feels very guilty of the crime. Jess tries to get him back to normal, but in vain. Now Sookie comes along and tells her if Bill Compton is found he can command any vamp. She asks whether Bill Compton has contacted her. Since Jess did not understand the signal sent by Bill, she says he hasn’t. So they decide to go in search of Bill.

Jess hides the red neck under the floorboards and goes with Sookie in search of Bill driving. They spot the wrecked car from which Bill had fled away.

Bill appears back from his makeshift grave and goes to a nearby house and feeds on an old woman. All of a sudden Bill realises that he is in Mississippi when he spoke for a while with that old woman. This very thing alarms Bill when he is attacked by some hungry English speaking wolves.

Sam, who has gone driving in order to find his original family, finds them but has not developed the courage to let them know who he actually is. An exception to this is Tommy his younger sibling. Sam lets him know of his identity.

Although the start wasn’t that great, the ‘Bad blood” was quiet good. The problem was with those subplots. The episode was trying its best to get in a lot without putting in too many story lines. The most wonderful aspect of the “Bad blood” was that it brought in the werewolves. The entry of werewolves will bring in more enthusiasm.
