I Wish I Was the Moon - Part 2 of 2 - Moonshadow

So, we've looked at this week's baddies. This week's heroes were kind of grey, too. It's reached that point of the season where it's hard to tell who's a good guy and who's a bad guy.

Well, we know Sookie's always a good guy. She started off the episode having the pretty yellow sundress from last week ripped off by Erik, but they were sadly interrupted. She then changed into this cute pink hoodie and jean shorts for the rest of the episode.

I like her red sneakers here, too. Did they cast Anna Paquin for her ability to look fabulous in shorts, or did they start dressing her in shorts because Anna Paquin looks so cute? This is a chicken and egg scenario, and I don't suppose we'll ever know.

Tara was also wearing bright pink this week... and no pants.

It's really quite bad-ass of her to grab a gun and answer the door without first putting on a pair of pants. But when it turns out just to be her girlfriend visiting from New Orleans, it all works out OK.

Especially because Naomi's zebra-print top kind of fits in with Lafayette's leopard-print decorating scheme.

I LOVE Naomi's bronze nail polish. What, isn't that what you were looking at when they started making out? ... Just me?

Check out Tara and Naomi, being a functional couple in their complementary outfits! This is the most normal relationship Tara's ever been in, right?

I don't love Lafayette's look here, but he's well outside of his comfort zone in Jesus' Abuelo's Mayan magic shack. I do love that Lafayette is still wearing false lashes. I think he'd feel naked without them.

But we don't have to see that track jacket or those jeans or the yellow bandana again. Ever. OK? Thanks.

Note: this is Sam, not Tommy-pretending-to-be-Sam. I know it can be confusing, because Real Sam is not wearing plaid this week. I can't hate on him too much, though, because he looks really good in these cowboy shirts and jeans. Carry on, shapeshifter.

To anyone who says that the men of Bon Temps all dress alike, I present to you, Alcide. Take note, Jason and Hoyt and Sam and Tommy: this is called a henley. They look especially great on men with extremely muscley torsos.

And if you're going to wear a plaid shirt? Try it with a retro 1970s-inspired brown leather jacket. Yum.

Now, I don't know where Terry and Arlene got these jackets after their house burned down, but I love them. Terry in this Member's Only jacket, comforting his pet armadillo? Priceless. And Arlene's crocheted hoodie looks nice and cozy, the sort of thing you'd want to wrap yourself up in after your possibly-demon-spawn burns down your house.

Poor Luna. She finally decides to take the plunge and date Sam on the exact same day that the role of Sam is being played by his psychopath brother. When she was like, "I know this isn't a mistake!" could she hear the True Blood fans around the world shaking their heads and saying, "Oh honey."

I agree with Kim's call on this as outfit of the week. It's totally my #2 pick and was really cute, for the 0.5 seconds that she was wearing it. Poor her.

Not much to report about Jessica's outfit this week, since the only thing she wore was her Merlotte's uniform. I just wanted to point out how pretty she is. Look at her hair! She is GORGEOUS! That is like, Pretty Little Liars hair! And, considering she was possibly the only waitress at Merlotte's that night (Arlene and Holly busy with their house fires and Sookie fired), she seems remarkably composed.

And Eric wore the sleeveless hoodie and board shorts for the 50000th time in a row. I still love him, even if his outfit is tragic and his haircut is borderline tragic. Look at the puppydog eyes! Even the vampire king couldn't bring himself to kill such a cute little guy.

So Bill's a bad guy... or maybe not? And Eric's a good guy... for now. By next week, I predict that some of these roles will be even harder to differentiate, especially if Marnie starts necromancing all of the vampires.

Can't wait!

Me and the Devil - Part 1 of 2 - The Power of Christ Compels You!

Episode Synopsis - There's a whole lotta sinnin' goin' on. In other words, it's biz as per use in Bon Temps. Tommy killed his parents (oops), Tara's luvah finds out she's been lying about her identity, the vamps capture Marnie, Eric dreams of killing Sookie, while Jason dreams of getting it on with Jessica...and Hoyt? Meanwhile, Jesus and Lafayette go down Mexico way to pay a visit to Jesus' g-pa, Sookie gets a message from her g-ma to stay the hell away from Marnie, and Arlene and Terry get the least effective spirit-cleansing ever.

Let's start with the pure, the clean, the non-sinners. In other words, let's start with Sookie.

I know, you all love this dress.

I love it too. Unfortunately, it was custom-made by the TB wardrobe crew. Unless you've got mad sewing skills, it will remain but a dream.

Oh, that reminds me - Eric has this dream where he Godric feast on Sookie's delectable neck, but I'm more interested in her dream sleepwear. Look at that wee little giraffe print! And the fuchsia bow!

In real life, her sleepwear is no where near as adorable. In fact, it's heinous. Ladies, do not wear crap like this to bed. You deserve pretty, sexy PJs.

Speaking of sexy, hello Alcide! I have no fashion commentary for this photo. I just though you all might like to see it.

I also don't have much to say about Arlene's camo velour track suit. It's just so many trends that I don't like, all wrapped in one. Snaps for the shot of color with the pink lace, though.

I grabbed this pic not so much for Arlene's slightly dowdy dress, but for Baby Mikey's sweet little Newsies get-up. He might be an evil baby, but he's a stylish evil baby.

Unlike dear old dad. I get that Terry tried, and I applaud him for that. But...just...no.

And what were we all dressing up for? Why for the rootin-est, tootin-est exorcism in these here parts!

Seriously, you guys can not wear pink and sing peppy songs to drive out the devil. You need to wear heavy robes and chant Latin incantations. I know. I saw The Exorcist, and it totally worked.

The Bellefleur-Fowlers do seem to feel better, though. And look at that futuristic bedding! You know, I heard that sleeping on a satin pillowcase is good for your hair. Reduces breakage. That seems like the sort of thing Arlene would know.

Hoyt and Jason hash out the events of the past few days of a spot of breakfast. I'm digging Hoyt's bold stripe shirt. It's a welcome change from plaid.

So is this purple and red pinstriped shirt. Two dapper shirts in one episode? No wonder Jason is dreaming about him!

At first I was disappointed by Jesus's ho-hum striped shirt, but then he put on the fedora and I was all squeeee! I love this hat even more than Baby Mikey's.

All that (snakeskin) luggage, Lafayette? For just a short trip?

Bitch, please. I've got a parka in here.

Oh. So you do. Carry on, then.

¡Hola, abuelo! Here he is, both past and present. Looks like he's ready to kick some culo in either decade.

Also ready to kick ass/take names? Naomi, who wants to kick Tara's ass for taking the name "Toni" and lying about it. I like her tissue-weight tank. Casual, but sexy. Good for pouting. Well played.

Oh hi, Marnie! Hey, you might want to change into something more comfortable, because you're about to go to Vampire jail. What's that? You're already wearing a free-flowing and non-constrictive baggy dress? Well, I guess the only thing to do is protect your neck. Whoops, looks like you've got that covered, too. You think of everything. Except how to reverse spells.

Oh hi, Sam. Thanks for pulling out the obligatory plaid. We almost went plaid-less in this recap. Love the rugged jacket and distressed jeans, too. You wear the Country Boy look well.
