HOLLYWOOD—"True Blood's" Sunday night episode, titled "New World In My View," was pulse pounding excitement with shocking twists and turns that kept the viewers on the edge of their seats. This episode featured Sam Trammell as Sam Merlotte and Ryan Kwanten as Jason Stackhouse as whole new men. Jason's tired of being the town nitwit and when he showed up in Bon Temps with sister Sookie and vampire Bill, they were all shocked, stunned and prepared to become crusaders to save their hometown. Sam Merlotte, on the other hand, was willing to sacrifice himself for the good of his community, but did manage to shape shift into a fly once again in order to get away from the possessed citizens who were prepared to hand Sam over to the "god who comes."
Even before the episode aired, fans of the hit HBO series were expressing their excitement about the upcoming "New World In My View" episode. Karin Aletter said, "Oh yes, 45 minutes to go. Jason, use your brain and kick some ass." LaDonna Giron chimed in with, "Almost time folks. I want Bill, Eric and Jason to kick Maryann's butt." Almost all "True Blood" fans wanted to see the end of Maryann Sunday night, with Lace Piotrowski saying, "How do you think Maryann can be killed? Maybe like the wicked witch of the west? Throw something liquid on her!"
Fans were treated to the return to Bon Temps with Jason and Deputy Andy helping Sam escape the mob whose eyes were black and souls were demonic possessed. Sookie, played brilliantly by Anna Paquin, was front and center. During her battle with Maryann, we saw another power of the beautiful blonde heroine. Sookie has the power to fight whatever evil entity Maryann seems to be. Sookie, however, was not strong enough to force Maryann out of her home. Maryann and her legion of demonic possessed cronies were faced with Sookie's return and demand that the evil woman leave her home, which she did not. Yet Maryann was also attacked by Bill, who is the vampire lover of Sookie. Bill was also no match for this diabolical force. He became extremely ill after biting Maryann, who laughed at the gesture and was very perplexed and inquisitive about Sookie's powers as well.
Paquin was amazing as Sookie while being choked by Maryann and she was having a psychic vision while realizing that Maryann was the horned demon that chased her down and attacked her weeks earlier. Sookie is finally coming into her own and the character is finding the storyline revolving around her, much like the series of books have done. She is constantly fantasizing and dreaming about Eric, which viewers love. I'm in the minority who believes Sookie needs to be with Bill, not Eric. We'll see what happens when Eric returns to Bon Temps next week and is enlisted to help fight Maryann.
At Merlotte's bar, Jason Stackhouse showed up with full mechanical gear and within minutes managed to get the black eyed zombies out of the establishment in order to save Deputy Andy and Sam from the mob, which wanted to turn him over to the "God that Comes." Only Jason Stackhouse, Andy and Sam managed to put on a light and sound show that confused the wandering souls, who collectively were convinced that Jason was the god who was coming for Sam's soul. The mob quickly dispersed then giggled as fiends and left, while Sam had Jason and Andy confused about how he was able to disappear and reappear later. Sam promised to explain his shape shifting abilities to his new allies.
Jessica and Hoyt were back at Hoyt's home, which he shares with his often devout religious mother, who was also under the demonic spell of Maryann. She was all over the house behaving like a teenage girl in heat instead of the sixty-plus-year-old lady she had always been. She was lusting after Jason Stackhouse when he visited and calling her son Hoyt and his girlfriend, vampire Jessica, all sorts of nasty names. By the end of the show, Jessica could not contain her rage any further. The lady told her son Hoyt, "You are half a man just like your father. A half a man and she's a dead whore," referring to Jessica, who leaped on Hoyt's mom, threw him across the room and like a vicious hungry vampire began feeding on her prey.
Viewers wanted Maryann finished on Sunday night. She was not. They did, however, enjoy the witty lines and dialogue that the show's creator Alan Ball is known best for. Carlito Carlos Carlo said he loved the line Lafayette had for his demonically possessed cousin Tara: "If there was ever a time to listen to a white man Tara, this would be it." That was during the scene when Bill was trying to charm Tara into opening up her heart and soul and releasing herself of Maryann's spell in order to accept the help of her best friend Sookie.
The scene in which an exhausted Lafayette and Tara's heartbroken mother had done everything they could to help break the possession Satan had over Tara was amazing to watch. Just about the time they were at wit's end, in came Sookie, who used her mind reading powers and her lifelong friendship with Tara in order to break the spell. The mindreader Sookie and the vampire Bill were able to achieve what Tara's mother and even cousin Lafayette had prayed so hard for. Tara immediately came to herself, her eyes returned to normal and after apologizing to her forgiving mother, who prayed to Jesus to save her daughter's soul, she wanted to head over to Maryann's evil lair in order to save her boyfriend, Eggs. Luckily for Tara, Sookie and Lafayette stopped her from leaving the house.
My longtime friend Bobby Head, who loves "True Blood" and should be writing for the series, can't get over his affection for the deceased character Daphne, who was played by my friend Ashley Jones. Jones also stars on the most watched show on the planet, "The Bold and the Beautiful." Bobby tells Canyon News, "I can't believe only two shows are left. What are we to do? If there was someway they could bring Daphne back to life, let her kill Maryann, we could see your gorgeous friend on the show again. I hope Maryann's death is slow and they do lots of close-ups!" Maryann is a hotly hated villain on primetime television. The actress who plays her is incredibly talented. Diane Correia had two of the best quotes on Facebook. They were: "Don't give me your 12 steps, just give me 12 more episodes." Then she concluded the obvious, "Alan Ball is an evil genius."
Jessica Snyder said, "Jason looked hot, once again with his shirt off [sic]." Well, thanks to Link 81 Collection, we have a very sexy never seen before photograph of both Ryan Kwanten as Jason Stackhouse and thanks to them for the handsome photograph of our heroic shape shifter Sam Merlotte, played with Emmy worthiness by handsome Sam Trammell.
When the episode ended, Bill was approaching a mysterious woman who we didn't get to the face of, but had a clue who she must be because he referred to her as, "Your Majesty." Fans went wild on the "True Blood" official site with excitement over the one person on earth who may be able to stop Maryann's rein of terror over their favorite characters in Bon Temps.
"True Blood" is a ratings winner for the HBO network and season three is already being planned. Sam and Jason proved to be crusaders for the citizens of the tiny Louisiana town that is under the spell of Satan, known to viewers as Maryann. Here's hoping that both men survive what is expected to be two deliciously exciting but bloody episodes left this season. Anna Paquin, Ryan Kwanten and Sam Trammell proved on Sunday night that they are capable of carrying the show even when the vampire storyline is on the backburner.
