This week’s title for the True Blood Season Three’s episode is “It hurts me too.” The story opens up this week making us wonder whether the werewolves are on V or just they are strong just like vampires or even stronger than them. This leaves us questioning on how it was possible for Bill to defeat those werewolves who kidnapped him and even kill some of those in the car wreck. However, Lorena his past vampire friend is not hurt. She is alright.
Tara who had been trying to kill herself in recent days makes us feel like she either wants to life no more or she needs some feeling which we can’t just guess. Franklin Mott comes at hand and helps Tara greatly in overcoming her vexation. Franklin also helps Jess to chuck out her hassle. Although it is clearly revealed that he is up to something, we start liking the vampire for his good deeds. However, in this episode we find a quiet changed Tara. Our Tara who was earlier very much a voice of reason has acted somewhat embarrassingly in this episode. When she tells that vampire she doesn’t mind or in a sense it is ok for her even if he bites her.
Sam who has found his biological family starts back to Bon Tempus. Only his mum is not happy to see him go. There is some kind of mystery at their home. The TV set that they own is a flat screen one which doesn’t suit the poor surroundings of their home. You are left wondering whether Tom and his dad are glad to see Sam go because they feel that Sam may interfere into what they are up to.
Now Jason who wants to become a police officer appears a written test without knowing anything at all. However his confidence in himself shows up in his dialogue after appearing in the test that goes like “.....if it’s on the sample test it ain’t on the real thing. Everybody knows that.” The audience are left feeling funny about it.
Something more from Bill’s flash back shown in the last week’s episode continues. Although he seems as if he is a loving beloved, affectionate dad, and a devoted husband, the audience don’t seem to take it. When he is asked by his wife whether he is facing some kind of suffering, he gives a positive answer. There seems to be lots of meanings behind his reply. The flash back gives us a new revelation about Bill. We are left wondering on whether he was attempting to murder Caroline his wife before Lorena held him back. Lorena has enlightened Bill on a valuable message that if he wants to honour a human being, he has to keep away from him or her, and that a vampire getting close to human beings will only give them misery. It seems as if Bill is getting to accept this fact. May be he will keep away from Sookie for Sookie’s very own welfare’s sake.
Mr. Herveaux now appears on the scene. He has been sent by Eric. Mr. Eric offers to help Sookie out. The reason behind his willingness to help her is that he wants to rescue his father from being troubled by the vampires. Now we get to see a bold and confident Sookie. We feel really good about her confidence. Sookie at any cost wants to get her beloved Bill back. She is ready to go to extreme levels to get him back. She gets the assistance of Alcide a werewolf in her search for Bill.
Franklin Mott is another character whose real intentions are yet to be revealed. He trips into Bill’s house offering a commitment for our sweet looking Jess. He wants her to pert with some information. For whom does Franklin collect these information for still remains a mystery. We get a clue that he is obviously not doing it for King Russell Edgington. This we are able to guess because King Russell has Bill to do this for him. Now we are left wondering on who else would benefit from this.
Bill’s true character is revealed more and more with proceeding episodes. We have had a totally good image of him from the previous episodes. However, the image he has formed of himself in our hearts get shattered in this episode. He is a kind of person who says something and does something else. May be that he owes his dark characteristics to the hidden depths of his agony for the death of his young son. But that really weird sex scene that one could have never seen previously reveals his real hidden character. The neck snapping sex that the vampires have makes you feel too weird about all of it. All he does is put an outwardly good face, but from inside its all too bad. We also get an idea of that messy relationship that Bill and Lorena share with each other.
This episode is a little weird because of those werewolves, vampires and other strange beings, sex, etc. The season that began so well in its first episode, brought in so many dirty dialogues and nudity in its second one, and now in its third episode a weird sex scene.
On the whole, this episode has so many unnecessary story lines which render it boring. The parallel running story lines of Bill and Sookie are quiet interesting. The revealing of Bill’s stunning and frightening dark side makes this episode a bit more interesting. However, Arlene has some given some dirty and embarrassing dialogues that make us feel embarrassed ourselves. And as discussed earlier, Tara’s turn from being a voice of reason to someone who surrenders to a vampire’s desire to bite her.
But on the whole, this episode has brought in some fun. However, there is a lack in consistency in this episode. It would bring in some enthusiasm if the future episodes concentrate more on the story lines of Sookie, Bill, and the werewolves.
