Well the thing is, last nights infamous Episode 3 promised to be "The" episode to shock and freak people out. The actors had talked about how hard it was to do. I was prepared for something violent, which it was....involving Bill and his maker Lorena (as I predicted in this blog) and it was. If you haven't watched it and don't want to read a spoiler then perhaps you should stop reading, because I am about to reveal the shocking "twist". Arr Arrr Arrrrr.
It was Bill having angry sex with Lorena. Now, the thing is that there is a lot of controversy about what happened. First of all, some are calling it rape although Lorena pleaded with him to "make love" to her. As one astute viewer put "it was a grudge **** plain and simple". The controversy stems mostly from consent and being compelled. That is what most of the message board arguments are focusing on. Some say that because she asked him to do this, that he HAD TO because she is his maker and he was "compelled" because of it. Others feel as though Lorena "released" him so he shouldn't be "compelled" by her. Now if I remember correctly via the books, compelling had a lot to do with it but also his attachment to Lorena. So who knows. Now the TWIST of the evening, which I felt was the "grudge ****" part of it, was the fact that he twisted Lorena's head around while he was doing the deed. It was kind of funny to most viewers and pretty shocking to others. Me? I think I was more on the "funny" side of it, because of the look of her twisted head. But I "got it" he was angry and he didn't want to see her face and if she compelled him then there was more reason for him to deny her the right to see him. His anger at himself it seemed also made me think he was compelled. Makes sense to me. I feel jaded, I expected something more heinous. I mean, I guess it is....ok yeah it is pretty heinous, but it was hardly "groundbreaking" in my opinion. I think I've seen too much in movies and on TV to truly be shocked anymore. Not to mention the fact that these are VIOLENT creatures. Shouldn't we expect that?
OK on to my new crush. Now I have seen this actor before, but in a totally different way. I saw him recently on 100 Questions in a suit (which is how I've normally seen him in the past), but he came to my attention when he was on "One Tree Hill" where he played Owen Morello, the bartender who was Brooke Davis' boyfriend or wanna be boyfriend....I can't really remember. That's when I warmed up to him and thought, "wow this guy is kinda hot". Flash forward to last night where he debuted on True Blood as Alcide Hevereaux and I am in LOVE....ok maybe lust. Now I don't know if it's the long hair, as a child of the 70's I am a sucker for guys with long hair, or the beard. I normally am not a fan of guys with beards, although I'll admit my ex-fiance and some other men I know actually look better WITH a beard. But as a rule....no beard.....but damn if Joe Manganiello doesn't look super fine and super sexy, beard and all!!!! And after reading a quick biography of him, well that settles it, the man is 6 foot 5 of hunk! Eric aka Alexander Sarsgaard is gonna have a little run for his money and I LOVE me some Eric! But the way I look at it....there's enough hunks on that show for EVERYONE! Yum!
Welcome to True Blood Joe, hope you don't mind a few stalkers, cuz I have the feeling that once this storyline gets going more woman are gonnna fall all over you!
