[US] S5 - EP8 "Somebody That I Used to Know" [*SPOILERS WITHIN*]

JP Liz V1

At Authority headquarters, the Chancellors revel in the afterglow of recent events; Eric gets a message from Godric; Bill is shaken by a distant memory. Helped by Claude and his sisters, Sookie and Jason visit the site of their parents' deaths, with shocking results. An emotional Luna tries to walk in Sam's shoes. Hoyt's new pals bring him a present; Lafayette leads a séance to purge a curse; J.D. ups the stakes of his fight with Alcide.

Good episode again except that stupid curse rubbish. Hard to tell if Bill is serious. Sam and Sam was very odd indeed! Thought he was going to make out with himself for a while.

Finally a decent episode after a run of crap. I remember a few seasons back someone else turned into Sam but I can't remember who it was.

Tara was tolerable for once.

Lafayette was back on form

The faerie stuff is just so uninteresting

Did Bill kill Sookie's parents?

The thought did cross my mind - the vampire in the bridge scene did strike me as looking like Bill masquerading as Inspector Gadget.

It was his brother Tommy. It must be good fun for the actor, he gets to play Sam, Tommy being Sam and now Luna being Sam. And his real name is Sam so he never gets too confused.

I enjoyed this episode apart from the werewolf stuff, which is really boring. I don't usually enjoy the shifter stuff but it's better now that it's tied to the other stories (is Hoyt's mother the redneck mastermind, she knows about the shifters 'cause of Tommy). I didn't hate the ifrit in this one stuff but would prefer if it was over.

Actually - something just occurred to me, when Tommy turned into Sam, he could only do so having previously killed his parents (apparently shifters can only turn into humans when they've killed a family member). So that begs the question, who did Luna kill in order to be able to shift into a human?

Yes I was wondering this as well.

I really hope they don't just skim over that.

Also, I was fully sure I was going to hear Goyte's song when the episode was over

Luna's mother died in childbirth so she feels like she killed her. She grew up being called a skinwalker (someone who can change human shape) by her tribe.

The show went downhill for me because of all that Marnie crap from last season:(
