Bill Compton Is Creepy and Gross: Reason #112

Bill Compton likes to take trophies from his victims. The necklace from the Chicago flapper, the gun from the police officer, the shirt from the old lady in Mississippi. I assume it’s a habit he picked up from Lorena, whom we saw keep the sequined bra from that really nice stripper they murdered in Jackson.

Hey, remember when he saved Sookie from getting beaten to death by the Ratts (and by saved, I mean arranged for her to beaten nearly to death by the Ratts)?

And Sookie had her hair in such a nice, tight ponytail with her coordinating white scrunchie, too, what a shame to mess it up. Denise Rattray can’t get such a nice ponytail with her frizzy hair, and goes into such a rage every time she sees such a pretty ponytail. Even during the beatdown, Denise couldn’t stop herself from screaming “Dumbass ponytail!” (a fearsome battle cry if I ever heard one, I’m pretty sure that’s what the Spartans were yelling as the Persians descended upon them) as she ripped Sookie’s scrunchie out of her hair.

But then Bill saved her from the beating he arranged, so it was all okay.

Say…I wonder whatever happened to Sookie’s scrunchie? You don’t think Bill kept it as one of his trophies, do you? Hiding it away in a drawer somewhere, taking it out occasionally to stroke it while he stares creepily at nothing, reminding him of his victory over Sookie whenever she starts thinking for herself, or whatever other crazy modern notion she got in her little head that day. Or maybe he keeps in his wallet, like condom or a Jamba Juice card or something. Maybe we should ask Jessica, she might have seen it.

Hey Jess! Jess…

Ohhhhh…ew. She’s wearing it. In 02x02. Before going over to Sookie’s to change and before Bill went crazy at Forever 21. Looks like somebody went through daddy’s drawers without permission. Or he gave it to her on purpose, which is just ups the creeper factor to Threat Level Cullen.

Obviously, this is just a mistake with costuming, as they probably have a bunch of those scrunchies… why do I say this, and ruin your whole argument?

Because the writers aren’t that smart or awesome.

BUT, I am so totally going with your idea, because holy cow, it’s awesome as fuck and I love it! Can you just be the sneaky writer for True Blood and do all these cool sneaky hidden things in the episodes? Please?

Obviously nothing. I spit on your obviously. Your obviously is dead to me.

And did you think I didn’t consider that?

Do you really think they would have a predator who takes trophies attack a girl, a personal item of hers that was on her during the attack goes missing (and there’s a nice long shot and a dialog clue that something of hers is going missing), and then that same personal item turns up in the predator’s house, on his daughter, and its just a fucking accident?

While goof-ups and continuity errors do happen, this isn’t a continuity error. It’s continuity.

And why couldn’t the writers be that smart or awesome? Do you think everyone in the writing department and everyone in the costume department is an idiot, a smooth-brained mooncalf incapable of awesomeness? This is these people’s jobs, they’re professionals who work hard at their jobs, and they shouldn’t be automatically written off as Too Stupid when presented with evidence that they are not, in fact, that stupid. I mean, they are the ones that snuck this in there. Don’t praise me, praise them.

I don’t know, I just feel like if it was meant to be like that, they would make it a little more obvious, but that’s just my opinion. Either way, Bill’s a creeper!

Do they have to hit you over the head with everything? Where’s the fun in that? And it would kind of defeat all the tension of the show if they come out and say “Yep, Bill is really evil. You should probably stop championing him now.”

And, I don’t mean that they are stupid, per se, but sometimes it just seems like there are plot holes and mistakes here and there and it’s common, because there is a lot going on. Also, it still just could be a coincidence that you automatically think was meant to happen, which isn’t horrible, because it keeps things fun and new.

But this isn’t a plot hole. This is the same as when Lorena was seen wearing the flapper necklace Bill gave her. Bill took something off a victim and gave it to his woman.

Just saying, it could be a coincidence or a mistake, because even professionals make mistakes. AND, whose to say that Bill didn’t just ask Sookie to borrow some for Jess? I have a shit ton of scrunchies, they come in packs. Jess is a chick who may need some, and Bill doesn’t have any, so hey, ask the girlfriend!

But, whatever, I was just saying that I like your idea better, whether it was meant to happen or not. I give you the credit for figuring it out and pointing it out. I’ll get them credit when they admit it was done purposely.

All that stuff about borrowing scrunchies, if this was real life, yeah, that’s a possibility. But everything with a TV show is a created world, somebody has to make a decision to put everything in there, things just aren’t there (as in life). Somebody had to decide to have Sookie’s scrunchie ripped out, decided to have Denise yell what she was doing as she was doing it, have a predator who collects trophies be responsible for the act of violence, and then have the scrunchie that was ripped out show up in the predator’s house.
