S3.E9 - The King Rules [9/10]

[panagiotis1993 · 9/10 · 8 November 2023]

(S3. E9) My Live Reaction / Review for True Blood Season 3 Episode 9 ''Everything Is Broken''. Episode 8 was good and I gave it a rating of 9/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. Talbot is dead and the King is losing his mind, I love it. Crystal's boyfriend is nuts. I wonder what is this place? First we saw Sookie in that dream-like world and now we see Bill in it. I wonder what the King will do next. Will he try to end Eric's life? I really wanna see a good showdown. Eric is right, there is no way to beat the King, he is almost 3000 years old. Wow Sam absolutely destroyed that guy. Franklin is back? I thought Tara killed him, damn. Poor Tara she doesn't deserve this. Jason killed him. RIP Franklin. Wow what an ending, the King is awesome. My rating is 9/10.

Things FINALLY pick up in this episode

Nan's stormtroopers enter Fangtasia and put Eric and Pam under house arrest. They then return the next day to tell him he can kill Russell but he's totally on his own. Russell misses Talbot and decides to carry his remains around in a cut crystal bowl (with a lid). Beel and Suh-keh take a nice shower together. Jesus and Lafayette get down. Sniveling Tara is still sniveling Tara, but she does manage to attend a rape survivor self help meeting. (Interestingly...in his own way...Eric is also a trauma-survivor.) Arlene anguishes over her pregnancy. Hadley's son Hunter has the same gift as Sookie, and Hadley is afraid for him because she knows that vampires are intrigued by humans with that gift. Bill appears to have a dream (or a vision) in which he meets Claudine (the fairy). Crystal's father comes to Merlotte's, makes a scene, and Sam beats him up. (What's strange is to see all the judgmental looks Sam gets afterward.) Franklin returns and Jason kills him using a shotgun loaded with wooden bullets.

Then the show really picks up. Russell suddenly appears on a TV news set, kills the anchorman, and proceeds to explain that the VRL is presenting a false front, and that HE represents the true face of vampires.

Russell: "Why...would we seek equal rights? You...are not...our equals. We will eat you...after we eat your children. Now...time for the weather. Tiffany..."
