It would appear I owe Mr. Compton an apology - he has something resembling a brain.Me, last year wrote: "Having just been exposed to a vampire half my age cleaning my clock with technological superiority, I will challenge a vampire twice my age to a duel with.... no advantage whatsoever". I mean, does he want to be around to protect Sookie or not? Especially now that he has Eric to deal with again? Idiot.
Beyond that, we need British Punk Bill in every episode. Immediately, please. Stephen Moyer seems to enjoy making caricatures of his white-knight, wet-blanket character. Not to mention his background makes at least a modicum of sense - more than most backstories written after the fact do.
Are they going to continue to waste Nelson Ellis on such a terrible plotline? From the simplistic shit magic system (hint - "Black magic", "Evil witches"? Old, chewed over and simplistic back in the 90's, let alone today) to the uncompelling circle scene to neutering Eric.... well, Fairy Sookie should keep her eye on her "Shittiest Plot" title. On that note, I think Lafayette and Tara have more convincing chemistry (of camaraderie, not romance) with each other than any of the couples on the show, including the real-world one of Bill and Sookie, and DEFINITELY including Lafayette and Jesus, who I really had better hopes for.
Jessica and Hoyt are sweet, as always. She seems to be feeling the pain of being tied down - she's a fresh vampire, she's young, she has the world at her feet.... and she's tied to a provincial young man who only recently graduated from boyhood and seems to want that entire world to just go away and for them to be a normal human couple. A meal on the table, toughing out injuries.... but she wants Fangtasia and instant cures.
There is good shit here if the writers aren't too busy making Jesus and Sookie mouth awful cliches.
The amnesia plotline has one redeeming factor - Aleksander Skaarsgrad is a ridiculously good actor, and he's been spending too much time as a deadly, aloof snarker. If anyone can make something of that crap, it's him.
I thought that was obvious - Eric can bring down Bill whenever he wants to. He knows Bill knew about Sookie's blood, and I'd guess he knows how well Nan Flanigan reacts to being lied to. I'm guessing it would be unpleasant for him as well - but if Bill pushes him too hard, he will talk.Where did Eric's friends in high places come from, he didn't seem to call on them when he had a powerful king wanting him dead.
