 I watched the finale of True Blood, if anyone is interested in chatting about that.

I also finished The Lightning Thief today, which I greatly enjoyed. I reminded me a lot of early Harry Potter (in a good way) and I enjoyed it enough to put a hold on the next volume. (I hope it gets darker as Percy gets older, like HP did.) I loved all the mythology, Percy was a great pov character (and I liked how his dyslexia was described), Annabeth was awesome, Grover was annoying, they treated Percy's mother like a character in her own right, and not just as The Mom. My one major complaint was that I could really tell it was written for 12-year-olds. (Grover, in particular, was a character would only exist and would only behave as he did in a children's book. By that I mean I found it ridiculously that he would have been given the task he was.) Also, I totally want Annabeth to get Cybernus as a pet at some point. That would be awesome.

I liked that Sookie got to be so proactive in the first part of the episode.

Agreed. It was quite fun (and unfortunately unusual) to get to see her with her dander up (and being EFFECTIVE) about it.

I would gladly take painfully cheesy Fairytown if it meant Sookie got a powerup or at least some damn agency. I mean, at this point I'll take all the cheese I can get, I'm just desperate.

True. Actually, I think both Tara and Sookie taking a vacation from Bon Temps (where they had so few, lately) is a good idea.
