My last Opus post left off with the aftermath of MaryAnne.  Charlaine Harris was sitting at the bar in Merlotte’s, Jason and Andy were thinking they were heroes,  Jane Bodehouse thought a gater bit her finger off by the lake.  Lala told Sookie she’s better of than all the rest of the gang because she’s the only person to really remember what had happened.  So, we still have more season 2 timeline to go and the six Minisodes that we were told would fill in the blanks.

The events depicted in season 2, episode 12 merge into the minisodes, which merge into the season 3 premiere.  With all these events merging into each other, I can only conclude that we leapt from 2009 into 2010 before the last episode of season 2.

Prior to the Season 3 premiere, Alan Ball and HBO invited fans to attend an "Ultimate Fan Experience."  I was an attendee to this event which was broadcast to movie theaters all over the country.  We were shown the Trubies/Newbies videos, and the premiere of the minisodes which were later shown on HBO.  Then we were shown episode 12 of season 2.  The event concluded with the cast Q and A, which was,  again shown on HBO.

September 14, 2009 is where I placed Sam's Minisode (#4) in my Opus post X. It was the night of the maenadicide, episode 12.  It is also the date of the second to the last posting by Andrew on the BloodCopy blog where he told his readers that the Maenad appeared to have left Bon Temps.  The day before that was the last tweet from BonTempsGossip.

The Fall

Those days at the beach are drawing to a close. The long afternoons and brief nights are ebbing. The air is turning colder, and good breather children everywhere are being forced out of summer break to once again attend class. The Fall is coming. Someone once told me a vampire’s existence is better measured in seasons than years. Years are temporary. Seasons are eternal. They are markers, each representing a perspective, a unique point of view on the passing years, far beyond the space of time that houses them. The same can be said of vampires. A number on a calendar means nothing to us. A single year little different than a single day. But over a long enough span, patterns do emerge. We change and evolve, shifting from one period of our lives to another, with changes as stark as the frozen winter to the warm summer nights. Enough stalling. I’m leaving Bloodcopy indefinitely, starting tonight. Another site has been gracious enough to house it in the meantime, so you can still access any part of Bloodcopy on the HBO web site. http://www.hbo.com/trueblood)There are a number of reasons for my departure, though I suppose the most direct involves some unfinished business with an old friend. It’s nothing dangerous or criminal (sorry, devout FOTS members), but it does require my full attention and could easily lead to greater changes in my future.You could say I’m entering the next season of my life.This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve suspended this site, so I won’t be rash and swear I’ll never return. Of course, the first time I left I was human. I must admit my farewell message that time still amuses me, where I claimed I was off to seek out new creatures in the world. Little did I know I’d become one of them.This time I’m going to try a different approach. I’ll resist the temptation to expound on the state of human/vampire co-existence, the strides and back steps we’ve taken, the uncertain future facing us. I won’t recount my incredible experience as a member of Gawker, the new oddities I’ve faced since my maker called me back home. I won’t even thank each and every single person who’s joined me along the way. Comment on their insightful comments and thoughtful contributions. Tell them I’ve learned far more from them than they could ever from me.I’ve said all these things before.Instead, I’ll simply wish you pleasant evenings on your own travels. And do take good care.Vampires may not be the only other creatures sharing your world.

As with the leap from 2008 to 2009, we need to move forward in the timeline to a place where the external timeline meets with the internal timeline.  We have to move all the way to Jessica's blog post on June 14, 2010, where she tells her readers that she felt chills.  Jessica’s first Babyvamp Jessica blog post was on September 6, 2010 and Jess’ blog is the only external timeline for season 3.    So, we then know that the remaining events in the season 2 finale after the maenadicide and the rest of the minisodes occurred somewhere in between….follow me?  It is not possible to date the next few events prior to Jessica's directly mentioning an event on June 14, 2010, but we can place the order of the events.  H/T Courtly_LoveMachine for placing the Eric and Pam Minisode. I know…we only have Bill's vampire child, Jessica to anchor the timeline, however, Jessica has proven to be very honest in her blog and for all intents (season 3 anyway) has proven honest in her pictorial.  Jessica posts to her blog once a week, for the most part, and we are only privy to her POV.  For the sake of orienting ya'll…I will include the highlights of the events outside of Jessica's POV.

Real Men and Real Women

Firstly, I want to thank all of you who offered me your blood. Users sohn and v'''v-Michael-v'''v, THOMAS H and Mert, maybe there were others too. Y'all are just the nicest! But I think maybe, for a little while, I need to hold off on feedin' from humans. Last time, well, it didn't go so well…I keep askin' myself why couldn't I have gone after Hoyt's mama again instead of that man? He was a real man, too, not like Hoyt's a man, but like my daddy was a man. Mean and strong. Just don't tell Hoyt I said any of that, okay? Oh Hoyt, he's so good, you know? He's cute and thoughtful and sweeter'n most boys in these parts. He must have a screw loose though, because he thinks we can face this world together. I got news for you, Hoyt, we are living in two different universes. Yours is full of sunshine and your mama and food and bodily functions and mine is just darkness. Nothin' else. We're like Jack and Rose. I'm sinkin' to the bottom of the ocean and you gotta get on one of those life boats with all the people with funny accents that are starting to turn purple.

On the upswing, I took some of the advice y'all posted and went to some older vampires for words of wisdom. And now I think I have a new crush! Not a crush-crush, like on a boy, but a friend-crush. Or a big-sister-crush, if you wanna call it that. Pam, over at Fangtasia, is so rad! Now she's a woman, like a real woman. Not like my mama was a woman, but like Madonna's a woman. Or Susan Lucci. And she knows EVERYTHING there is to know about bein' a vampire! So if any of you babies out there have a question you need answered, just post them in the comments section. If I can't answer and no one else here can neither, I can just ask Pam!

Okay, well, I have to go deal with a little "problem" I got here. So wish me luck. And thanks for all the support, it means a lot to me.

Where In The World Is F**king Bill Compton?

Season 3, Night 4

Franklin Mott visits Jessica

 

 

@BG–"Is Eric wearing the same track suit he had on in S2 when he met Bill at the clothing store?"

 

No, the one he was wearing at Forever 21 was dark blue with light blue stripes:

 

 

You like? Yes. Gottdamn you is fine. Just for the sheer pleasure of it:

 

The one in the minisode was black or dark blue with gold stripes:

 

@anna–"In the first picture Eric is wearing a pendant that looks either like MA's talon or the horn that killed her, but maybe I need glasses"

 

Haha, no you don't need glasses. I think it looks like a horn. Someone, somewhere, once claimed it was an eagle talon but I can't remember it that was an official explanation.

Though this might be of interest (with thanks to Lucasa for reminding me about Susan Blackmore)

Alien abduction

Persinger’s theory is that abduction-like experiences are caused by complex patterns of activity in the temporal lobes. People vary in how stable their temporal lobes are and he argues that those with the most unstable activity may have the experiences spontaneously.

http://www.susanblackmore.co.u…../ns94.html

Alien Abductions, Sleep Paralysis and the Temporal Lobe

In spite of the small sample, the results strongly support the suggestion that alien abductions are related to sleep paralysis and not to temporal lobe lability.

http://www.susanblackmore.co.u…..oas00.html

Abduction by Aliens or Sleep Paralysis ?

A study of 126 school children and 224 undergraduates shows knowledge of aliens is related more to watching television than to having the relevant experiences.

http://www.susanblackmore.co.u…../SI98.html

I believe it. I once had an extremely realistic dream that I was 'zapped' by a UFO hovering over my house and fell to the ground unable to move. Thankfully I woke up before the dream could get weird.

 

But then there is also this explanation:

Wow, yes indeed anna thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you osterby.  I'm finding that I can't wait till your next posting on the timeline.  NEVER thought that would happen for me.

On Babyvamp-Jessica Mon. June 21/10 she says while speaking about Hoyt

"I got news for you, Hoyt, we are living in two different universes." 

Jason in his minisode prays to Jesus, Buddha, Scientology, aliens et al.

And in S3. Day 3 and Night 3 are missing.

We go from S3 Night 2- Jess spurns Hoyt to Day 4- Jason eating chicken.

Is there any significance to the missing day/night?

lol…Bg…I guess it's a good thing I am persistent then?  Sorry for the missing day/night 3.  My bad!  I fixed it.  I am thrilled that you are looking forward to my timeline, it makes all the  work worth it to me! 

 

Pssst…Bg…don't tell anyone, but I chose the naked Eric pic…just for you!
