True Blood s04e11. "Soul of Fire". Heart smoothy, an old Viking recipe.

No doubt in my mind, the highlight of the episode is Eric drinking out of Roy's still-throbbing heart (a few more dollars in special effects would have make it like that) as Marnie looks half in shock, half jealous how her once enslaved Eric shows the whole of his vampire's coolness by sucking the poor sucker's heart. I call Roy a sucker because I want to believe that all of us wanted him to die anyways. I have to admit that the sight was really disgusting too, which impeded such an  scene to become one of the all-time best of the series.

If this was the highlight of the show, I have to continue with the funniest parts, which have to be a hard competition among the ridiculous poses of the vampires trying to avoid get zapped in Marnie's protection spell, Andy and the fairy E.T.-like finger protection contract, or the potential outcomes of Sam after Marcus' death. I warn you, this last one may be fun just for me and my particular sense of humor. Also, you have to put words on Sam's mouth, otherwise it won't make any sense!
Ok, first one! Sam and Alcide have caught Debbie in her panties with Marcus, in Alcide's bedroom. Rarely enough, nothing has happened between the two of them despite the sexual tension. Sam avenges his brother beating the crap out of Marcus while Debbie tries to explain the situation and stop the fight. Not only she does not stop the fight, but Alcide kills Marcus avoiding that the latter shoot Sam. Then, Alcide, in werewolf terms (no more hunting together, no more sharing flesh, blah, blah...), breaks up with her. Definitely, it was not poor Debbie's night! Alcide leaves the house while Debbie cries in disbelieve. Sam slowly pick up the gun he brought from the floor, and gives this look to Debbie before leaving trying to say, "Well it's your fault! Now clean the mess!". When the show comes back to the werewolf's story, Luna's daughter asks Sam where is her father. Sam remains silent, but I imagine him thinking, should I become a bunny rabbit again!
The second one is Andy's lucky day (obviously it is only for the day, because who knows what is waiting for Andy after this). After the fastest detox program ever seen, Andy is left stranded in the middle of the woods by his cousin. On his way back a fairy (oh God, how do I hate fairy staff in this show!) appears, knocks Andy down, and then schtump him!  Good for Andy, but fairies must prove me right about the absurdity of their existence in the show, and before boinging him, she makes him promise her to protect her by joining light bulb-like fingers. What is this a tribute to E.T.?

Finally, and likely to be the winner, the most pathetic piece of acting I have seen in a long time (even though, I attribute it again to what I want to believe is producer's stinginess, and not bad artistic direction). Marnie's spell makes Jessica, Pam, Eric, and Bill rush towards the vampire racquet zapper that surrounds the building where Sooki and the others are trapped. The contortions, scowls, grins that these actors have to put up with and perform to convey such a pathetic result makes the whole thing as laughable as sad.

Now it is up to you to decide which one is the funniest/sad moment of the episode.
In a more objective view, the funniest lines of the episode are Lafayette's "Marnie just puked the bitch out" and Pam's "I'll take good care of this" referring to the piece of jewelery that she takes from the vampire who minutes later will explode in Marnie's vampire zapper.


The episode has prepared us for the grand finale! Bill killed Marnie, just for her to return and possess Lafayette. What kind of Brujo shit is Jesus going to be able to put this time? What do the fantastic four Vampires have in their sleeves? Are Jessica and Jason going to continue their torrid romance, and is Hoyt going to accept it? What is Sooki doing in this season? Next Sunday, all these questions and more will have an answer! Or... so we hope!
