Oh gawd. I really hope there's not much more of the religious campiness going on in True Blood Season 2. I fear however there is as A-Ball has alluded to the religious zealotry storyline being very prominent (though not only on the vampire-hating front).
I shall not get into my personal convictions but to me a religious zealot has already veered into campiness and when you layer more campiness on top of that, I wanna hurl.
As much as some critics annoy me with their half-hearted, late to the table endorsements of True Blood, my honest feeling about the character of Jason is (and has been since Season 1) that I wish they would keep his role rather minor. Kwanten seems like a lovely man and perhaps in another role--certainly his real accent would be very welcome.

I get that this song is full of double entendres and not just of a sexual nature ( I could be using the term incorrectly. There's a really bad storm here right now and I've not time to look it up. Lost power once already tonight. Will fix later if needed). There's a good, big dose of hypocrisy in the video which if you don't see than you need to listen to the lyrics again. Once 'round was enough for me.
Why couldn't they have gotten Bob Dylan to do something off his new album? Maybe the music from the True Blood promo video, "Beyond Here Lies Nothing" playing?
In Sunday's new episode of True Blood, Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) heads off to the Light of Day leadership conference, aka Jesus camp. It's basically a place to brainwash people into hating vampires. Jason makes quite an impression on his fellow campers, but there's still a doubt as to whether he's really there for the right reasons.One of his fellow campers, Amanda Jane (Molly Burnett) with her band, the God Rockets, livens the spirits at camp in the clip above with their hit single, "Jesus Asked Me Out Today," (which will be available... on the True Blood soundtrack).
Take a peek at Jason at Light of Day in the clip above, and then read on if you want to know what had happened just seconds before that.
Thanks to The ODI!
Spoiler Alert: One of the main characters gets shot. Any guesses as to whom?

I don't know who gets shot but I'm doubtful that its Lafayette's reason for drinking Eric's blood. If Lafayette gets turned vampire, then before he "dies" he needs to injest a vampire's blood, so why not Eric? And why would Eric or any other vamp need to use a gun on Lafayette? A snap of the neck would be less messy.
I'm complaining a lot. Sorry. I do love this show.
