True Blood Episode 1.6 “Cold Ground” Recap
Air Date: Oct. 12, 2008
We pick up with Sookie finding Gran dead and Bill’s there shortly after - awkward. And so is Sam. This is all very uncomfortable. Sookie tries to wrap her head around everything and Sam tries to comfort her. He’s sorry for the fight they had and Sookie has a great line as she asks if Sam could apologize to her some other time.
Sam and Bill of course have to bow up to each other. Sam threatens to kill Bill if anything happens to Sookie. The local authorities interview Bill, who says he doesn’t think Gran was the intended victim. Sam stays with her because Bill has to get home before dawn. Sookie refuses to leave the house and even begins cleaning the place up. Of all the disturbing images this show throws at us, just the simple one of Sookie cleaning up her own grandmother’s blood is going to haunt me for a minute.

True Blood Episode 1.5 “Sparks Fly Out”
Airdate: Oct. 5, 2008
Sookie and Bill argue about him thinking about draining a cop and he claims he won’t call on her again. A very angry Tara confronts Lafayette about dealing V blood, especially to Jason. She recounts a horrifying ordeal about them having to drain the blood from Jason’s appendage.
And if that didn’t creep me out enough, Jason comes by and demonstrates with a sausage. I know it’s HBO, but I could have gone the rest of my natural life without seeing that. Lafayette tells Jason that Tara’s been in love with Jason since she was six. This boy Jason is not bright. Lafayette wants to train him in “V” usage - really? Did I mention Jason is not bright? V, Lafayette explains, affects different people in different ways. It gives Lafayette a vampire’s strength, for example.
