True Blood - Seasons 1-3

I think True Blood is fun to watch and have been following all three seasons thus far. It's too bad that there has been so little in the series in terms of superhuman displays of strength by hot female vampires. There are a couple of supernatural characters who showed the occasional mini strength feat, but it really wasn't much.

Anyway, here's my brief summary of the ubergirls of the first three seasons and their short moments of ubergirlishness ;-). I'm doing this off the top of my head, so feel free to correct me, if I'm wrong or miss something.

*** Spoilers ahead ***

(1) Pam - She is Eric's vampire daughter (i.e. he made her a vampire). There were a few moments where she moved at superspeed; she also briefly overpowered and threatened Lafayette in one scene; in the last episode of season 3 an assassin was sent to kill her, but she "took care of him" - offscreen, unfortunately - i.e. we only know about it, because she tells her maker later on (bummer).

Aside from her vampiric powers, she also has the power to be a cold-hearted bitch and spit out snide remarks at every given opportunity. I like her.

(2) Jessica - The cute redhead who Bill was forced to make a vampire in season 1 or the beginning of season 2. She had some more strength moments than Pam but not really much.

In one episode when she visited her parents, she pinned her father to the wall and threatened him. In season 3 she fought some werewolves, but you didn't see much. Right now, I can't think of any other scenes. It's a shame that she didn't explore her powers more after she had been made a vampire; that would have been a nice opportunity for some great scenes ...

(3) Maryann - The villainess of season 2 was a Maenad, a figure from Greek mythology. There was only one noteable scene where she used her physical power, and that was in one of the last episodes of season 2 when she briefly lifted Sookie by the throat. It was only a short scene and not really that impressive.

Her main power was to influence others who became possessed by her and enganged in mindless, but fun, Bacchanalian activities.

(4) Lorena - Bill's maker is a hot, jealous and crazy vampiress with no apparent moral sense. In other words: The perfect candidate for some evil displays of superhuman strength. Of all the female characters she had the most ubermoments (but still not much).

The most interesting scene was when she held Bill captive in a hotel room around episode 8 of season 2. There were a few short moments where she physically overpowered him; she also seemed to enjoy it. In season 3 there is a short scene in which she grabs Sookie and throws her against a wall, but unfortunately she is killed shortly afterwards. There also might have been a neckbreak or two during flashbacks in season 2.

(5) Sophie-Ann - The queen of Louisiana. She is, in my opinion, the hottest of the lot, but had the least amount of ubergirl-time. Actually, close to none. There was one short moment in which she moved at superspeed and threatened Eric in the beginning of season 3 but that was about it. In the final episode Bill challenges the queen and they jump at each other, but the episode left the outcome of the fight as a cliffhanger for the fourth season (*meh*). I hope they will show the fight and not only the aftermath, but we'll find out in a year or so ;-)

Well, that was a lot of text for so little content, but there you go.
