Probably my favorite ep all season.

This is the first episode I've seen live. I just started the show last week.



Eric, I love you. PAM IS THE BESTEST!!!! The only time Bill was bareable was when he was playing along with Eric.

Otherwise, the words coming out of his mouth in the car? DID YOU REALLY SAY THAT?!?! Do you listen to yourself? What a hypercrit.

Sam annoyed me. Do not want Tara/Sam again. Ugh.

Tara went all crazy!eyes on Andy tonight. It was awesome.

Hoyt's mama is crazy.

Jess/Hoyt! ♥ I like that the (human) guys are understanding!

Oh, Arlene... I swear I thought Holly was gonna stab her during the circle. TADA! Instant miscarriage. But, damn, that much blood? At about 8-10 weeks pregnant? Impossible. I think even that early it would be a massive period. Not like you're bleeding to death.

I don't like Holly.

Layfette's haze was funny in the way where what he was seeing was funny..not that he was seeing it.

I'm glad Eric cares that much to get revenge on his family, that he'll sacrifice himself just to take Russell down!

It was also my favorite episode of the season. I'm somewhat baffled though. How come Sookie never seems to see the bigger picture? She might be blinded by her distrust for Eric but isn't there a moment where she should have gone "oh wait a minute, maybe Eric has a plan here and I should try cooperating because there is obviously to gain to be had from kicking and screaming". Oh well.

My darling Eric, you selfless, scheming bastard. How I love you.

What are these writers doing to Sam? And Sam and Tara, what was that? It felt like they were under Mary Anne's spell or something. Wasn't sexy at all.

Did I mention I actually like the episode? I adore Eric and Pam's relationship and I'm quite fascinated by Russell even though he's a villain.

Sam/Tara worked in S1 when he wanted Sookie and she wanted Jason. But now? It's not .. comfortable. And I don't have a clue what they're doing with Sam. I'm not a fan.

Oh, you know, she'll trust Bill blindly, and she'll distrust Eric blindly. That's how it works, dontcha know?

I didn't enjoy the last few episodes that much. Mainly because they were lacking Eric/Sookie-action. But this one I liked a lot. Again we see how Eric is the true hero. When he's sneaky, he's not hurting or betraying Sookie with being sneaky but rather the opposite.

Unlike Bill - and I have no freaking idea why Sookie still seems to believe in Bill (even if her trust is somewhat shaking right now). I mean, he betrayed her with Lorena AND didn't help Tara - Sookies best friend - when she was practically going through hell. Sookie knows that. Why the hell didn't she leave that bastard long ago?
Eric instead is willing to sacrifice himself in order to save Sookie. Okay I know he's also doing it as a payback for the slaughter of his parents - but he already hurt Russell big time by murdering "the only man he ever loved". So that can't be the only reason.

Did you see the look on Erics face, when he touched Sookie right before he and Russell drank from her? That is true love, because it's not selfish, like Bills!

I wonder how Eric will survive this very last situation. I mean, he will - won't he? Now I really can't wait for this seasons finale!

It's only going to be a matter of time before we have someone trying to drain Sookie's blood and someone is going to have to come rescue her. Now that her fairy status is getting out of the bag, Sookie is going to be getting in a lot of trouble. I'm just eager to see what happens to Eric and Russell next week. I'm hoping they continue to burn! A good recap of this one is up 'True Blood' recap: "Fresh Blood" | Ology

well we all know Eric is alive and well in season 4 based on the books. for a moment i thought we might lose pam (noooo) But sad that it seems we are losing the King . Dennis is so good in his role , I wish the story could go on to next season . Seeing how King is so hell bent on destroying everything It leaves no choice . I assume Pam sends out human woman to save Eric .

Just like Bill in season 1 ,put Eric in the ground for few days he will revive .without looking at spoilers I assume that is what will happen how Eric comes back to life .

Based on preview for 2 weeks from yesterday , The remark of Bill saying Eric and king are dead gone ,I wonder if it was Eric's plan with Bill to save Eric and Sookie but in the end make sure Bill/Pam make sure eric lives on and Russell is gone . Wonder if sookie Fairy powers canals help Eric .....

What was up with Sam dam he was on fire last night . Him and Tara wild night and then Jimmy looked iike he was turning on the gas to blow up the trailer ,,,,,,

Jason watching his records in football be shattered buy a Jock on V , That may or may not end in the finale . I don't except Jason's new found love to last just a hunch (being 100% spoiler free )

Tara real mad angry at Andy then seeing he had remorse and why Eggs had to die because he wanted to ....

Finale is going to be crazy and leave us with cliffhanger,r like always and have to wait till next summer to see ...

What I love about Eric and ES is that he's not all about her, unlike B/BS. It adds more dimensions for the characters. Eric's doing this for his family. He wasn't gonna have Sookie involved, but Pam pleaded with him because she can't lose him and he loves her. And then he did sacrifice himself to save Sookie. He went into the sun, when Bill told him it was only a few minutes, just so Russell would follow.

Also, during the BS car ride and whatnot (I believe), Sookie told Bill that he wasn't there during Godric's death..he doesn't get who Eric is. I love that.

And even if Bill KNEW who Eric really was, he wouldn't ever admit Eric being the better man - let alone to Sookie.

Because no one is better than Bill!!!!11!!!!1

Eric can admit defeat, hence making a will. There's a difference and I love it.

Matt, you mean Tommy? It looked like he was cracking Sam's safe.

Ah, Jason..I hope he can stop the punk from cheating to break his record and maybe get him clean. There's obviously a reason why this plot is happening. I hope it's good for Jason.

Didn't Eric chain Sookie up in the basement for the sole purpose of having Russell feed on her later? I don't think that screams unselfish love by any stretch of the word. Right now, Bill and Eric are no good for Sookie.

I don't exactly ship ES, so I don't think there's love. I think he's infatuated/facinated by her, though.

But, it was Pam's pleading that got him to go ahead and use Sookie. I don't think he was planning to do it if Pam hadn't broken down.
