jason-stackhouse-fellowship-of-the-sunJason's riding a bus to the church leadership camp and the kiddies are singing camp songs.  It's all very cheesy, but Jason, brain trust that he is, seems pretty into it.  Another camper, Luke McDonald, introduces himself to Jason.  The boys bond over their love of football.  Luke asks Jason to bunk with him at the camp and the singing starts again.

Tara greets Eggs, and Egg's ridiculously sculpted chest, that morning at Maryann's house.  Eggs admits that he was homeless before Maryanna found him and used to be in prison for drug possession and dealing.  Oh, and armed robbery and assault.  Tara's a little freaked out by the fact that Eggs may not be the catch that his sculpted chest suggests he is and he walks away and....oh, I'm sorry, I just got distracted by a photo of a wet Sam Worthington that's featured in this week's issue of EW magazine.  What show am I recapping again?  Oh, right, True Blood.  Sam Worthington should star in True Blood.  That would be HOT.

Sookie's back at her house now, watching a couple on television making a plea for a kidnapper to bring their daughter home.  Turns out they're crazy Jessica's parents and Sookie seems startled.  She goes upstairs to her grandmother's bedroom and looks at an old photo of herself, Gran and Tara.

At the leadership camp, Steve and Sarah welcome the campers.  A girl named Amanda hands out "rings of honesty".

Tara arrives for work at Merlotte's, with Maryann in tow.  Sam isn't happy to see her, but she sits herself down to check out a menu.  Sam wants Maryann to stop playing games and asks her to leave.  She isn't eager to go and he relents.

The campers are playing Capture the Flag and Jason's doing a great job, while Steve and Sarah look on proudly.  Jason takes off his shirt (of course) and manages to win the game and the praise of his team members.

    "It’s like they’re not even trying anymore to pretend that this show isn’t just some violent porno." This is why I gave up after 2 episodes last year. I caught part of the season premiere and then turned the channel. I'd much rather follow the story through your recaps. Sorry you have to take the hits for me. I'm interested to what they do to the story since I've read all the books.

    Glad you are keeping your sense of humour. See you next week.

    Hey, sometimes I don't mind the fact that the show is just some violent porno. What the heck does that say about ME?!

    Happy to recap for you, though!

    ** I mean, they’re a couple in real life. This is kind of creepy, isn’t it? In case you didn’t know that, I’m telling you now, so you can be as slightly disturbed as I.**

    Oh god that makes me gag a little- he is what, twice her age, and rather homely-he must have other stunning characteristics;)

    Like Midday, I was kind of surprised at the extent of porn they show- that coming from land of blatant sexuality on at 7pm on the regular channels! I haven't red the books, so I don't if they are actually like that or just being exploited because they can.

    Enjoyed your recap- and I think maybe I'll just stick with those for now. Still interested in some of the characters, just without the graphics:)

    Midday, how did a sweet innocent Winnipeg-to-NZ-to-US girl get into this project I wonder? I watched Fly away Home, just to remember when she was not that much younger, but a whole lot more innocent:)

    *shudders* they are together? Really ???

      They are really REALLY together. He's, like, 13 years older than she is.

      Thanks for this though: "Oh god that makes me gag a little- he is what, twice her age, and rather homely-he must have other stunning characteristics;)"

      Cause that just freaked me out even more and took me to a place I didn't really want to go.
