HBO True Blood – Episode 4 – Escape from Dragon House

..  True Blood knows how to do it.  After a subpar third episode, True Blood comes back in true form.  The fourth episode of these new series was fantastic.  Right when I think i’m going to give up on the series, HBO shows my why they are still the best cable network around.  This episode, in my opinion, finally set the tempo that the rest of the season should follow. 

Jason is once again a suspect in the murder of a beautiful Bon Temps resident. (Why do they kill off all the hot girls?)  Sookie’s grandmother asks her to use her abilities and try to find out who the real killer is in order to clear her innocent brothers name.  Jason, who is arrested while carrying V (vampire blood drug) secretly drinks the entire vile and begins suffering dire consequences.  Bill agrees to take Sookie to a vampire bar known as Fangtasia in order to investigate these murders further.  She is then introduced to Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), the oldest vampire in the region.  Sookie makes a good impression on eric by accurately telling him that the bar is about to get raided.  Sookie and Bill escape but are pulled over by a cop.  Bill uses his mind control to scare the hell out of the officer and they are allowed to leave. 

That is a fast paced episode.  I hope they keep the pace up for the remainder of the season, i’m tired of this slow episode / fast episode lineup.  Give me action!  I hope the next episode can keep up the pace.  

HBO airs True Blood sundays before Entourage.
