Good, action-packed ep.
A couple of cheap cliffhanger devices were used again, and will be next week too apparently. These are wearing thin on me.
I dunno, it feels like Alan Ball is having trouble seesawing between telling the story with wit and a dash of irony, and telling an earnest, melodramatic fantasy story. Maybe I'm just too used to the Joss Whedon touch or something. But Ball has that too, as Six Feet Under showed. Then again, that show wasn't afraid of the melodramatic either. Hmm...
Still, some great scenes. And it passes the "HBO test" by showing things on television that I have definitely not seen before (Maryann's kitchen activities for one).
I'M WITH YOU GUYS OKAY, I AM, I JUST HAVE SOME RESERVATIONS SOMETIMES DON'T HATE ME.

I was glad Phlox finally got a line again, and it was a funny one.
Sookie was better in this episode. I liked the "that doesn't even make any sense!" line after the preacher was going on about the thirty pieces of silver. And when she stood up to Bill's maker (she looked hotter than Jessica this week too.)
TOLD YOU JESSICA AND HYOT WOULD SUFFER SOME PAIN, DIDN'T I
The MaryAnn stuff continues to bore the piss out of me. Surely Bill can just kill her once Sookie finds out what she's up to (since she can't control vampires.)
So was Godric with the church by choice? I didn't really get that part. I got that he's a pacifist now and wants vampires to stop being such jerks, but was he just going to let them kill him?
The cliffhanger's a bit dumb since OBVIOULSY all the main characters AREN'T going to be blown up so the bomb will probably short out or Jason will eat it or something.
I agree with what Eggs is saying about the tone. Buffy managed to switch from the comedy to the dramatic with greater ease. MAYBE NEXT SEASON THEY'LL WORK IT OUT.

Is that an actual season three spoiler or just something that happens in the books which probably won't happen in the tv show?

I'm so pissed, the version I illegally downloaded ("stole" is probably the right word) was corrupted! So I had to d/l it again last night, and now I won't get to watch until tonight...maybe. What's the world coming to?
