In an episode titled "Fire in the Hole," you wouldn't have been the only person who initially thought that this would be an episode about Jason Stackhouse's fetid junk. Unfortunately, it's just another week of taking out the trash in Bon Temps.

Three episodes of everyone running around with their head's cut off, all because Sookie threw a tantrum and threw her phone into the woods. It's amazing that an episode featuring the deaths of two of the most superficial characters on the show could feel so uneventful. But what can we say? It's True Blood!

I've finally gotten over the lame-ass annoyingness of season 5 and am watching again. My impressions so far: Season 6 - much more entertaining and satisfying as long as you don't ask any logical questions (but I guess that's true of the whole series). Season 7 - everyone you like will die, with a few annoying characters (Tara, Hoyt's mom) thrown in to keep you from getting too pissed off.
