True Blood: Cold Ground recaplet by Jacob | TWoP
cool, by Jacob ~ who wrote the rather strange and moving recaps of Weeds, right?
After ruining their date, Sam heads over to Sookie's house and finds Bill comforting her in the aftermath of discovering Adele's body.
At the wake, Jason gets all v-juiced crazy and attacks Sookie, so she takes a valium form Lafayette and manages to sleep through her own murder. Which doesn't go as planned, although we get confirmation that Bill can tell when she's in trouble -- and can't do anything about it if it's daytime.
The funeral goes about as well as you might think, between Jason inviting their evil uncle, Tara's drunk bitch mother showing up with some kind of exorcism pyramid scheme "got a demon in me. gonna get out. it's expensive", and Sookie screaming at the whole town of Bon Temps, and their respective brain waves, to shut the fuck up.
Sookie takes about half the episode to cry and eat a pecan pie. Then she puts on a huge billowy white Gothic gown and goes flitting through a graveyard, and Bill throws the doors of his haunted mansion open and then sweeps her into his arms, and it's freaking dumb to the point of awesome.

True Blood: Cold Ground (Episode 106) -by Ran | The Recapist
...Andy seems to have developed something of a crush on "Vampire Bill," as he refers to him.
Bill is the one who notes that all of the recent victims -- Maudette, Dawn, and now Adele -- had all welcomed the attention of vampires. When he gets chastised for daring to imagine Miz Adele Stackhouse as a fangbanger, Bill says he doesn't think Adele was the intended victim. Oooooooh!
Sookie refuses to leave her house, saying that her grandmother would have hated seeing her kitchen in such a mess, so she starts cleaning it up as soon as Adele's body is taken away. ..her kneeling on floor by the pool of blood, using and ringing out a cloth into a tub of water.. The reason for her haste is made clear the next day, when all of Bon Temps arrives with tuna cheese casserole and jello molds. "What the fuck is it with white people and jello?" Lafayette asks. Hee! It's no different, really, than the tailgate party Arlene and Rene put on when Dawn got killed; it's just covered dish instead of beer and hot wings.
...Sookie takes the Valium and drifts off to sleep, but is awoken with hands around her throat, strangling her! Oh noes! Why couldn't she have had another of those nice masturbation dreams? She whispers Bill's name, and poof we see Bill hear her, hear that little whisper all the way down underground in his coffin. Only, wait, maybe it's not Sookie's dream? Maybe it's Bill's? Or it's real? Which is it? As soon as the sun sets, Bill arrives in a blur of speed and lands on Sookie's bed, looking at her unmarked neck. Okay, were they sharing a dream? I don't know….does it matter? They make goo-goo eyes at each other for awhile, and Bill promises to stay and watch over her. Aww. He stands outside in the dark, watching the house, and that sweet collie dog comes and stands beside him.
The funeral is as sad as sad can be. Lafayette shows his respect by not wearing any head covering, and oh, my, is he a handsome man. Sookie sits holding Tara's hand and squeezes it tight when she sees an old man being wheeled in a wheelchair to the grave site. It's Adele's brother, Sookie's Uncle Bartlett, who Jason invited to the funeral because, as he says, "they don't have anyone else."
... In the quiet aftermath of Sookie's outburst, Lettie Mae Thornton, Tara's terrible mother, steps up. She's dressed up for the occasion, clean, with a hat on her head. She admits that she wasn't always able to care for Tara like a good mother ought, and that Tara often went to the Stackhouse home. She says she knew that Tara was okay if she was with Adele. As a mom, can I just say how that touched me? To know your child is safe with another adult is a wonderful feeling.
...After the funeral, Jason tries to resist the lure of his last toilet-paper square of V, even going so far as throwing it out his truck window, but then panics when he gets out and can't find it. I tell you, we've got some hurting pups this episode.
The hurtingest of them all, though, is Sookie, in a scene that's as real as anything the show has ever given us. and follows on the earlier scene of Sookie wiping up the blood, also alone in the kitchen where she found her gran. also a slow reverent scene. that scene, with her kneeling, may have had something of the over-the-top, the campiness, of the show in it, yet same time reverent. and here not sure if campy at all, maybe, the camera's steady shots of the pecan-covered pie, the pecan cream on the pie plate. It's almost got a Friday Night Lights quality to it. Sookie comes into her clean, empty kitchen, pulls her Gran's pecan pie out of the fridge, peels back the plastic wrap and begins to eat it. As she tastes her grandmother's cooking for the last time, tears begin to fall, finally, as she lets the grief come. She sits there at the kitchen table, eating pie and sobbing.

-I keep going back and forth between Bill and Sam. Neither seems perfect, but Sam’s play for Sookie and then his attitude towards Bill seemed inappropriate. at this point Sam seems pretty bad to me, no longer seems sweet. (but maybe show is setting him up as a red herring, to look like possibly guilty of the murders. I’m up in the air about the Tara-Sookie relationship. y.. Tara was good to Sookie at the wake, getting her away from people and then getting everyone to leave. but does not feel like they are close. Both actresses have a great connection with the rest of the male cast, but they don’t quite connect with each other. Seriously, they barely hug at the funeral or after Jason attacks Sooks. On a side note, I find Tara and Sam’s obsession with Sookie somewhat disturbing. I don't know if Tara seems obsessed, just protective. but I suppose Tara and Sam do come together when Sookie wants to be alone and neither of them does, which could seem 'disturbing', and they share their protectiveness of Sookie.
-Have you read the southern vampire books?
Because there might be a reason Sam and Tara are so taken with Sookie, but I don't want to spoil it if you haven't read the books! cool... some supernatural reason?
and: 'southern vampire' books? nice. okay yes the series is officially called that:
Charlaine Harris - Wkp The Southern Vampire Mysteries is about a telepathic barmaid in northern Louisiana named Sookie Stackhouse. The first book in the series, Dead Until Dark...
I keep being unable to recall author's name. charlaine. harris.
