Did anyone else find episode 11 vaguely disappointing?

Yes, I agree with you. I thought it was okay but it was not up to par with the anterior episodes. I especially thought the queen was trying to hard or something was not right. I expected her to be regal and mais laid back, like Eric. I just didn't get the "authoritarian" feel from her, at all. In short, no, it wasn't just you.

I soooooo agree with you...first Alan Ball cheats us out of 15 minutos from last weeks episode and then bores us to death in this weeks episode....and with all the material that's available...that's the best he could do...he titled the episode Frenzy...wada joke!

I thought the episode was okay but I must say I did enjoy the queen which is suprising to me because I cannot stand Evan Rachel Wood but she was so cute playing yahtzee lol

YESS!!! I didn't think this was the best we've seen. And you're right it's kind of the Queen's fault. I'd been expecting much much mais out of her, not so much that the atuação wasn't goo, just that the queen seemed mais important, and in reality she kind of just...didn't come through. I don't know it just wasn't my fav. It needed mais naked Eric, that would have helped.

I enjoyed it.

I liked the humor; Eric and Pam discussing the children, Jason and Andy in the police station and male-bonding, Arlene and Terry following Lafayette like the pied piper, Sophie-Ann's yaoi fixation.
I also rather liked the Queen's waxing philosophical about maenads and human nature. And I really liked the Eric/Bill confrontation.

Plus, there was subtext and foreshadowing that people who've read the books might have noticed in the conversations that Bill had with the queen and Hadley about Sookie. Rather, what wasn't said...
The only thing I disliked was Lafayette going bug-eyed, I'm afraid of what it means towards his fate following that of the book. I really hope not but have a bad feeling about it now :(

never disapointed.....I live for true blood!

This episode to me, was just FRUSTRATING!
Maybe if the last episode hadn't have spent so much time getting Tara back, only then to loose her again (in a really stupid way) along with Lafayette, it might not have bothered me as much. It felt like it was a giant step backwards IMO.

As for the queen, I thought she was perfect, and Evan was a perfect pick to play her.

Gosh I just amor Eric so much better for Sookie. At least he doesnt hide the reason why he wants sher. And of course Bill didnt fly. He cant. N i doubt Alan would fall so far off track to allow Bill to fly I just dont understand how the heck their gna get all the info they need into the last episode inless its 2hrs long. I sure hope so because im going to be so mad if they leave me even mais dissapointed then they have these last two episodes. I expected sooo much mais from the Quenn. She is supposed to be terrifying but also have a fragile young look to her. I didnt get either from her appearance or acting. Im jus hoping they come thru in the end.

I completely disagree, the queen was a great actress, very nonchalant yet dramatic at the same time. I have to add that her wardrobe was stunning. I hope we see mais of her and she has a bigger role in the finale. I hope she does not be the one to kill the maenad however, because I would amor to see Sookie and Tara kill MaryAnn (that is: if she can die).
