However, that's the only flicker of the kindly, dull Bill we've become accustomed to seeing. What emerges from the wreckage is a more primal Bill, one who buries himself in the ground to escape the sun, then claws his way back out to feed - on a lonely old lady whom he then gives money and glamours to forget the incident. (I know! I'm just as shocked as you are.) His forced joy ride with "the Fuck-You Crew," whose members get high from his drained blood, is tense and fast-paced, interrupted only when Bill snaps the driver's neck, causing the car to flip. After trying unsuccessfully to revive him, she hides his corpse under the house, explaining away the stench as a dead possum.īut as entertaining as it is to watch Sookie bounce from the sheriff's department to Fangtasia, with the always-awesome Pam - "I'm in no mood for lesbian weirdness tonight, Pam" - and the buck-naked Eric, to the home of freaked-out Jessica, the episode's real drama centers on Bill. The latter, poor crying Jessica, was never properly instructed by her maker Bill, and now must contend with the body of the trucker she inadvertently killed while feeding. Now he must covertly find Bill while avoiding the steely gaze of the Magister (the returning Zeljko Ivanek), who's investigating the trafficking of V. In fact, the only ones interested in Bill's abduction (at the hands of V-guzzling redneck werewolves, no less) are Eric Northman and Jessica Hamby, both of whom have their own problems: The former hatched his own aborted plan to kidnap Bill, the only vampire who can connect him and, more importantly, the vampire queen of Louisiana (Evan Rachel Wood), to the illegal sale of vampire blood. orchestrated the cliffhanger kidnapping of Bill in the Season Two finale - or, rather, plucked a thread from author Charlaine Harris' third book Club Dead - and pick up the story just moments later in the Season Three premiere.Ī frantic Sookie leaves the restroom of the French restaurant to discover her would-be fiance gone, and virtually everyone, from the hostess - "Fucking vampires! It's always nothing but shit!" - to Deputy Kenya Jones to Sheriff Bud Dearborn, entirely unsympathetic to her plight. When they share the screen, they do little more than moon over each other - we can only stomach so much "Sookah!" and "Beeeeel!" - but when they're fighting to get back together, there's a spark, a bit of magic, that makes us forget the whining and the bad accents.Īpparently recognizing this, creator Alan Ball & Co.
TRUE BLOOD SEASON 3 HIGHLIGHTS SERIES
It's a curious quirk of True Blood that the series works best when its romantic leads, Bill Compton and Sookie Stackhouse, are kept apart.
