I’m not liking a lot of what I’m seeing in this preview. I seriously don’t like what it seems that Eric is doing next epi. which is using Sookie and holding Bill so he can’t help. I like Eric as the antagonist, but I’m not even enjoying him in that role any more. I hope this epi is the usual “it’s not what it seems”.
So “expect the unexpected” then. And with that in mind, as well as the preview’s scene flashes, I speculate that Eric has once again shivved Bill in the vetebrae and side-stepped any reddening of his hands.
It seems apparent that he’s taken Pam’s advice and formulated some plan that involves what we see for next week: he walks toward Russell, presumably to explain that the massacre of his human family is a non-issue without loss of loyalty, it was somehow Bill that juiced Talbot, and that he has said world-destroyer and his prize blood cow/fitting vindication all tied-up/unconscious in his bar, ready; their mad escape in Sookie’s stick-of-butter on wheels, and subsequent head-on collision with Edgington, with Eric standing right next to him.
Those burns we saw applied on Askars while they filmed in the daylight in those finale pictures from weeks back infers the final showdown is staged right there in the Fangtasia parking lot, and Eric endures the slow burn after having drained Sookie and tricked the king into drinking from her and accompanying him outside under false securities. And while I love me some Pam, I like wanting to slap her up the fo’head when we hear her ask,” Well what if it doesn’t work?” Anything’s a risk in this situation, but Eric’s trying to fight fate on your wishes, so give daddy a kiss, and move bitch get out the way.
***spoilers***
About “I Smell A Rat”: Even fairies think fairies are lame (good one Sook – if they were called by any other name, would they be less stupid? Actually yes).
Sam would need memory loss to hide that kind of baggage, as sweet of a guy as he is, and we had no clue. And he made the term “psychopath” sound so far-fetched.
Tara Tara Tara, oh sweetie. I’m so sorry. She looked so grateful, peaceful, and rested, there in Jason’s bed and in his clothes as he very affectionately/guiltily brought her breakfast. He’s finally noticed her, and she’s as smart as he is dumb, but loves him anyway for how good he is. It was sweet torture for the show to have them arrive at this moment ultimately because of Eggs, and shred it almost immediately for the same reason. *sigh* And off she runs to place blame where it goes. All Jason did was save Andy, it’s what he does, protect and rescue. Look at it that way Tara. Jason might be an option for her, if not for Crystal.
Bill has some work to put in with Sookie’s people and her family. The fairies don’t trust him as there is probably some truth to vamps almost wiping them out, he left Tara to die and keeps almost killing her bff, Jason rescinded his welcome for giving him no slack as his brother-in-law, etc. Adele was the only one he made effort for. Is his heart really only big enough for Sookie and Jessica? Or is it bad writing he hasn’t managed to bond with anyone even accidentally? Other people exist Mr. Compton.
Don’t know where the gay shamans sub-plot is going, but those two sure do stay within fondling range of each other. Keep stealing kisses boys, the perv in me enjoys.
I see Tommy getting himself killed. What he did to Hoyt was overkill, pun intended, and Jessica might have to do it herself as he gets more and more self-centered and obsessed. It would push Sam over the edge if that happened, and it’s what we hear does happen, so fingers crossed.
I see this as a repeat of Bill’s saving the day last season. Big ol’ vamp has a plan, wants to use Sookie as part of it. The plan is (in part) to protect her, but use her during. However, instead of cluing her in on it and seeing if she would go along with it (which I’m sure she would at this point…she hates Russell’s guts for allowing Tara’s torture and Bill’s torture to go on underneath his roof, plus for kidnapping Bill), big ol’ vamp just uses her and apologizes later.
Dumb vamps. You would think that after 200-1000 years, they would learn that an ally is a better asset than a tool is.
I do NOT like where this is going, or where it looks like it is going. Also, RIP Sookie’s crappy yellow car.
That’s Bill and Sookie in her car when it meets it’s end. I didn’t see that one coming. Damn that Russell and Eric’s lack of planning.
So, Bill and Sookie are in the car? I have to watch again.
OMG THE S HAS HIT THE FAN LOL I SO KNOW WHAT ERIC PLAN MAYBE> WHO KNEW THAT JESUS WAS A DEMON I THOUGHT HE WAS A WITCH MAYBE ITS MISLEADING FROM THE PREVIEWS< SO ITS ONLY @ MORE LEFT =(
WHERE IS ALCIDE ?????????????????????
He’ll be back next season, Marquest. He’s supposed to be more exciting when he comes back.
I doubt Alcide will be more exciting. LOL!
I am really sure that he’d be back on the season finale
Wow, I am kind of shaken up by this week’s episode.
I can’t believe that Sookie was dumb enough to go to Eric at the bar (and willingly kiss him to boot) after the crap he pulled in Jackson. Wanting to find out what he means about not trusting Bill, seems to be a pretty lame excuse. That twink has no instinct for self preservation; she even gives dumb blondes a bad name. Even so, she sure looks scared in the previews as KRE is chomping down on her. You can see the bite marks on her neck, so it seems to be on going for a while. Apparently KRE and QSA want her blood so they can walk out in the sun, what an advantage that would be for a vampire; there would be no stopping them if they could daywalk.
This season has Eric being so ruthless, that even as a diehard Bill fan, I can’t believe it. He seems too willing to put Sookie (who he does seem to care about) in danger to kill KRE. Even if he has some kind of plan, handing her over to RE seems drastic, and I can’t believe she would willingly go along with it, or that Bill would let her.
Aeman is right, I like Eric better as an antagonist and a competitor for Bill, but not as this crazy, loony sociopath.
The best scene of the whole show was Jessica and Hoyt, when she tells him she loves him and gives him her blood. Aslo liked the panther scene with Crystal and Jason. The animal was beautiful.
I just looked at the preview again and Eric seems to be walking out in the daytime. I wonder if it is his fangmarks on Sookie’s neck. That is really scary.
there is a spoiler pic that shows russell about to bite sookies neck and eric on sookies wrist…cant recall where saw it sorry!
i recall the spoilerish details in Rolling Stone. In fangtasia, eric and pam covered in blood, one vamps face burnt off tied chained to a chair, a glass jug of blood (presuming talbot), and sookie with blood on her wrist!
Must be Pam stakes russell from behind hence why blood all over her and eric!
So that means the cement truck and the hole is for……*dun dun dun* Queen Sophie Ann….I was wondering what was gonna happen with her. It would not have worked out for eric if sophie ann lived. He did almost rip her head off!!!
Alcide will be in the finale, and right now I say Sookie go with Alcide. I never thought the show should follow the books exactly as they are, I have loved all the changes. I understood making Eric a bit more bad so that we can see a change in him which AB said those exact words almost in an interview. Tonight though just took it to a whole other level though. If I didn’t excuse Bill’s behavior then I can’t excuse Eric’s. I know a lot of Eric fans are saying on a bunch of sites that its all part of a bigger plan and even if this is true, I just don’t care, go about it in a different way. How did he go from telling Pam that NO he won’t do that to Sookie and was adamant about it, then to doing that? I don’t mind bad boy Eric but this is going too far. My vote goes to Alcide as to who Sookie should be with, and I didn’t even think he was that great on the show.
One thing the show constantly is advertising to entice fans is a love triangle, but this is far from it and not even an enjoyable one to watch.
As you know I love Bill, even with his flaws. But I love how Alan is doing the job with me so I’m starting to feel how sick and tired will be Sookie for a while. She knows something bad is going on with Bill, now she doubts of his love for her because her fae’s blood and when she finds out about the Edict, she is gonna want him to go far away from her life.
It will be interesting to see a stronger Sookie by herself. And yet more interesting see how Bill’s character will evolve, learn from his mistakes, and win her love back.
Alcide? really, I found him boring to death, not a bit of chemistry. Eric?? I like him as antagonist but looks like he is going too far. I mean, really? Sookie chained in the basement? Couldn’t you lock her in a room?
Ordinarily,ZZ I would agree with you. I do not Sookie is going to give up on Bill. She mite be a little mad at him but i think she is going to furious at Eric more than anything. I totally do not blame her for not wanting any vampire for a while cause she has been really hurt and found out she is part freakin fae. I glad htat Claudine likes Bill- kind of. i am curious how they are going to apply her character in the show. I was one that thought i would not like season 4 but now I am excited. Me and my daughter gasped at the dungen scene this Sunday. I guess i am the only one who like thew antangonist Eric. i have alterative motive. I want Sookie to see him as the slime he is and ward him off forever. I would love a Alcede/ Bill/ Sookie triangle instead since Alcede is a Big Teddy bear and Bill is sort of Hot vampire bad boy. i hope they do not go with the lame guideline of the book and go with AB concept instead. Last time Sookie went with Bill in a car they were very happy. I want Sookie forgive Bill and see the beautiful man she has right infront of her. I love Bill and Sookie together and Sorry the wedding just increased that-still riding on the waves of love-no pun intended. i will not give up on my couple they love each other. She is scared and shocked. Lets face it you would be to.
There is no excuse for Eric chaining her in the basement with a big metal dog collar. How can he possibly come back from that? How can he be redeemed enough in Sookie’s eyes for this to be a believable love triangle? And if she did forgive Eric and develop feelings for him, with that on top of all the rubbish she has put up with from Bill, how could the audience respect her? How could she respect herself? ASkars is still damn sexy, but Eric is gone from the equation. Even ELs are saying there is no coming back from that no matter what the plan is.
I think they will pursue a relationship with Alcide. He is as boring as plain oatmeal but maybe Sookie will need that after her experiences with vampires.
I like the way you think , hun. I like the alcede angle to. He is boring enough she will get bored and go back to our man Bill. Bill is so awsome to me. He really cares for her and Jess and would do anything for them. I love that. Jason will not hate Bill forever cause he feels bad for staking Franklin and Eddy. He has a warepanther in his life how can he judge. I think Tara is a whiny B!tch. She needs to get layed from someone like Sam since they are both a couple whiners. My story would be- RE,QSA, And EN get staked-Pam goes on vacation with Yvetta, and Bill and Sookie get married go on a long one hour honeymoon and livew happily ever after-double wedding with Hoyt and Jess. Yay!!!
Teamsookie,
I agree, this is not enjoyable at all now. It seems that AB simply wants to plumb the depths of how low Eric can go. I don’t like him in the books, and I don’t like him in the show, but this is too much.
I want Bill to end up with Sookie, but I don’t want to Eric to be pure evil.
Re, Sookie ending up with Alcide, the werewolves can be pretty bad too, so I doubt that he is a save choice.
Billfan45-well that is good to hear from a Bill fan I have to say. I understand if people don’t like him and root for B/S, but glad to hear it’s not just Eric fans being biased or too sensitive about this, it did go too far. Like I said, keep him a bad boy ok I’m fine with that but this is evil.
Now I won’t lie lol but I haven’t excused Bill’s behavior but I always thought that they can’t ever take it TOO far where he would never be redeemable. It would ruin the whole triangle and what makes it fun and interesting.
Yeah you’re right, werewolves are not great either but as of now Alcide seems to not be that into that world and seems like a pretty good guy. A bit boring and weak lol but as of now he hasn’t screwed her over hahaha. Not even Sam now is an option lol, he has gone to the dark side too. I always said in AB’s world you have to expect him to go very dark and not expect the best out of any character so guess I have to suck it up now lol.
Having a dark side isn’t too bad, it’s just how dark it gets. I am afraid that AB is taking Eric and (possiblly Bill) too far to be redeemed. Some behaviors are so bad they may be forgiven eventually, but not forgotten. Unless Sookie willingly agrees with Eric to be bait for KRE, then Eric will have gone too far.
I don’t excuse Bill’s behavior, but I can understand it, even if I hate it. I just don’t think he has reached the unredeemable point yet. Still, AB may have some unpleasant surprises in store for us with regard to my favorite character, Bill. After this week, I am pretty sure he will.
It seems that with all that’s happened in season 3, AB is setting us up for Sookie having lots of romances outside the vampire world in season 4 and thereafter. (I can’t really say that I blame her, but I sure hope AB smartens her up a little, so she doesn’t keep putting herself into these life threatening situations.) I don’t think it will be as interesting though, because the vampires (even the bad ones) are the most interesting characters in the show and the books. I sure hope if that is the case, that the vampires continue to have their own romantic liaisons. I don’t want Bill to mope for Sookie, that is boring.
I like Alcide, he is very handsome, but I think that werewolves can be almost as dangerous as vampires. They can daywalk, so you don’t have much of a chance to get away from them. If he ever takes over as leader of his pack (as in the books) he will put his pack first, and Sookie second.
Sam seems to be too old for Sookie somehow, and I don’t see much of a spark there. I would kind of like him to end up with Tara, but he has to forgive himself before he is any good to anyone.
I wonder who or what Sookie will end up with.
And we hear that for next season Alcide will have a corrupt side.
Maybe Sookie should just go live in the Land of Fae, where she can dance and drink light and we can just watch the men of TB frolic in BonTemps. The men are annoying and Sookie just plain friggin’ dumb.
Aemac,
Yay and halleliuah (I know I spelled that wrong) Sookie is too fracking dumb to be a heroine. A member of Mensa, she ain’t.
Come on already, Sook. Eric bares his fangs, snarls in your face, tells you that you mean nothing to him and leaves you and Bill to die with KRE, and first chance you get, you are running to his bar and kissing him and trusting him. “Tell me why I shouldn’t trust Bill, Uh huh”
After Bill has saved your ass more times than you have fingers and toes, were you going to take Eric’s word against him? Are you surprised that Eric has you locked up in chains in his dungeon ready to serve you up like a thanksgiving turkey to KRE.
Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn who you end up with. Any male unlucky enough to end up with you should run for the hills, screaming “Get the f… away from me!”
OBTW, it is probably Bill in the chair with his face burnt off; it looked like KRE sprayed something in Bill’s face.
Good thought BillFan45. I hadn’t even put the two together. If true, Bill always get the shit end of the stick. Will it ever stop?
Lots of points being made, but in order to understand how Sookie could be such a perpetual idiot and migrant vagina, we have to think like a sassy telepath that can’t read vampires. So she she has to go to extra lengths to be sure what they are doing, and plus, how could Sookie refuse the dying wish of Godric, who’s even more adorable-looking than Tommy?
Eric sang the have-sympathy-for-the-”about to die” song, accompanied by a sad violin score as he kept a strong posture but kept his head hung low, and said goodbye to Sookie, wishing her well and used her full name like a gentleman. SOOKIE DIDN’T STAND A FUCKING CHANCE! Employing that kind of charm while implying imminent death is just too endearing. Eric’s been around long enough to watch that kind of schtick work for crack-head mothers and dead-beat dads that send out word to their angry adult children that they are dying of cancer, so please accept their apology for having sold them into the sex trade. Bullshit. He’s an emotional hitman, just ask Yvetta, and it’s bullshit.
But soft-headed Sook couldn’t resist power-walking to Fangtasia and be willing to hear out and possibly support a sincere-sounding Eric. He berated Pam for her sentiment, yet he tells Sookie it would be his biggest regret not to have kissed her?
But he hadn’t formed his plan until after Sookie had come to unknowingly supply last meals (jelly-filled donut), so there was no ulterior motive on his part at the time.
Intelligence is the best weapon, and rare enough to be considered a supernatural gift in the True Blood universe. I guess what’s being said is Sookie’s powerful enough, lol.
You suprise me. If they do not have laim stuff it would not be realistic. Afterall we all have laim guys in thias world. Sookie isnot as much dumb as much as being scared. She has been drained twice according to the future epi. I would act a little flakey if i had a vamp in love with me, a vamp infatuated with me, a friend haten on my guy, a brother whos flakey, vampire wanting to kill me, and warewolves after me and now she is freaken Fae. You would be a little goofy to.
Even Bill fans dont like what the show is doing with Eric…
Im not prepared to speculate.. Remember previews are made up of scenes the show WANT us to see! Previews are like 45 sec minisodes designed to build up our anticipation. Im not buying!
From the season finale episode synopsis its sounds as though eric is going through regret about his actions. Thats one thing I find fustrating with the show sometimes…They polarise characters behaviour in 1 episode, it drives me nuts!!!! Yet I still watch lol!!!
Preview shows eric in daylight..This must be where he sees godric. Godric represents his conscience. Damning him for what he has done to sookie! He will be dealing with revenge and regret all at the same time!…So much for me not prepared to speculate! lol
Yeah in AB’s world, most of the characters need medication because they change personalities from forget one ep to another but one scene to another lol
No matter how hard you try not to speculate, it never works lol.
Billfan45-I understand 100% about hating a persons actions but understanding it at the same time, which up until now was how I felt about some of Eric’s actions.
Yeah I don’t like them making either character too dark, yes let them make mistakes, show their bad side since they are vampires after all but never that they are not redeemable. The big draw with the show is Bill/Sookie/Eric, no matter which side of the fandom you are on, these are the most important stories to us. Every discussion is mostly about them, and either you’re loving bill/hating bill or loving Eric/hating Eric and debating who she should be with, they should always keep this a part of the show. I agree about keeping her with vampires, it’s what I like and prefer about the show and what it is known for.
That is what bothers me most, is that Sookie’s character should be a bit stronger, heck most of the females on the show should be. The crazy thing is that I know they will redeem Eric, AB said at comic con that somebody who hated him won’t hate him anymore and i think it was more than obvious that he meant Sookie. But why do they have to have anyone do this to Sookie, go this far and then to redeem them? it just doesn’t help her character. If they wanted Eric to keep sookie locked up why not keep her in the office where she was lol this way Bill fans can still say well that is still messed up and Eric fans can maybe hate it but understand that maybe it is to keep her safe and strategy to get RE, i know it’d be asking for too much to have Sookie in on the plan lol. They say that Eric will have a conscience during finale about all this, it’s in episode 12 description, but if they want to redeem him well at least to an Eric fan lol then I don’t want just an I’m sorry or any of that. He better be willing to die to keep her from further danger.
Yeah I just can’t see Sam and Sookie together, no chemistry at all.
I do think Alcide might become leader of the pack next season so yeah he might not work out either lol
Amen to all of that.
Isn’t it amazing how caught up in these fictional characters we all are? Bill fan or Eric fan, we just love our guys, and the Sookie/Bill/Eric love triangle is the driving force behind the show.
Both CH and AB should make Sookie smarter and with a much stronger sense of self preservation. It is one thing to be feisty, brave, loyal and all that crap, but how many times is she going to put herself in mortal danger? Maybe it’s the fairy blood, but she sure seems to like living life on the edge, doesn’t she?
Yeah it is funny how caught up we are in these fictional characters lol.
Yeah imagine if there was no love triangle, what would TB fans discuss? lol 90% of discussions revolve around this. At times it can get annoying but like you said, it is the driving force behind the show.
LOL yeah she sure does, Sookie does have some growing up to do or just thinking things through a little bit more.
I wanted to see a dark side to bill this season.. I didnt want the show to go away from erics ‘bad ass’ nature this season.. But by gollie!!! AB is taking them so far that Im having trouble to understand why sookie would ever forgive both bill and eric for their actions. Thus resulting in losing my respect for sookies character! None of this I want to happen…But it looks like it will!!! Why AB?
Eric and Bill must come up with this plan…Why else would sookie be re-thinking a relationship with not just bill, but all vampz!!! Mmmm so Alcides getting a look in!
Making Bill and Eric look bad…Making Alcide look good. Sets up the love square! Ewww I’ve already had it with the love triangle let alone a damn square!!!!lol
QSA is in the hole? yeah it could be. Nice jen!!! Why would bill and eric bury and cement Russell, when he will be vulnerable to the true death while feeding on sookie.
Eric would have to get rid of QSA also, she wont let him get away with him almost ripping her head off!!!
So Eric will become King and Bill a Sherrif?…how will they set up and introduce Hallow? …Mmmm cant wait!!!
They design these trailers to be misleading and to drive fans up the wall all week, but at this point, I’m sick to death of Eric being such a diabolical bastard. He’s so despicable he’s irredeemable and this much vaunted love triangle is complete bullshit as a consequence, regardless of what Bill has done or what he’s lying about. Its too much Bad Guy vs Nice Guy and about as subtle as a brick. No wonder his fangirls are pissed all the time.
so right CE!!!
I agree, CE, these teasers are edited to mislead. I’ve watched it once but won’t bother a second time. As for “I Smell A Rat”? Loved it. This show is insanely exciting and there’s been no let up all season. IMO, Eric is the rat, but everyone is lookin’ a bit ratty this outing. I’ll hate the inevitable, but perhaps short-lived, break up of Bill and Sookie, but if we get exciting story-telling that strays from the books as much as possible … I’m happy.
Agree with you both CE and NH about the trailers being deliberately misleading but that said can’t see my dislkie for conniving b*****d Eric diminishing anytime soon after last night and what appears to happen next week !!
Loved “I Smell a Rat” but there is more than one candidate for that title …although Eric still remains slightlymore king rat in my opinion .
Yup and now I join those who are pissed off :-( I was always the eternal optimist and tried to explain how the show and books are different but doesn’t mean this is a bad thing. I didn’t even understand why be negative about what’s happened on the show so far, but tonight I went from eternal optimist who wasn’t really bothered by much to pissed off.
Well hopefully the last 2 episodes will at least be entertaining, just have to put any expectations aside and enjoy it for what it is.
I am not happy either. I think I’ll take your lead and wait this season out before getting more upset. Only two more episodes to work all these knots out, so we’ll see!
for once we are all on the same page….we are all pissed off!!!!
lol
I’m not upset, not at all.
my bad!!! :)
I agree i guess we are the only ones. Eric was told he is a human lover by Pam. This does not suprise me at all-the dungen did though. I am glad he did that. Yhe first time i have loved a clifhanger on this show. I can understand why people are pissed but it still the best show on TV. All I know I would not be sad if they get rid of Tara she is such whiner. Sookie would have bigger balls if she is gone. She was wonderful ib season 1 and one of my faves but now i am sick ad tired of her. I am glad that Jess and Hoyt are together now-about damn time. Bill and Sookie’s fight are starting to bore me. she needs to see that that Vampire loves her. They should of had Sookie kissing Bill after the second love confession. I hope stupid Tara dd not cvhange her mind. My friend is right she is the most prejiducwe personality i have ever seen on TB. All vamps rape, all vamps tie you up, All vamps terrorize give me a break. The only thing I like about this Bad Eric situation is it has brought some peace between both camps for a while anyway. AB will put a stop to that. I like the way you think girl. I hope you like my blog. Oh I lied I like the way bad E makes Bill look even better.
LOL yeah they better make up for it with an epic season finale. I hate being negative though so I’m trying not to dwell. I’ll root for bad boy Eric getting his revenge but don’t ask sookie for forgiveness unless I see you choosing to die to save her and even seeing you suffer and going through with it until somehow you’re saved just in time, words mean nothing now.
Alcide really needs to come back and kick some vampire ass!
damn you pam for planting the idea in erics head!!!
erics plan better be a good one!
im hoping he’ll do something to rectify his actions…I do recall ASkars stating eric tells sookie ‘you mean alot to me’ his words (TV Guide). I wonder what brings about this reaction?
I wasn’t to happy last night at all. Well, at the end anyway. I LOVED how Eric was acting.. aka stepping away from Sookie and Bill and opting NOT to tell her about Bills secret cause he would be gone anyway, the dream, and OMG the kiss. We also saw that the attraction was MORE than the blood, as Sookie’s own subconscious in her dream told her so. Then Eric was adamant that he would not be using Sookie and then Pam begged and invoked Godric’s name and you see his mind change right there. He can’t do to Pam what Godric did to him. Pam basically said he was choosing Sookie over her and for the first time I wanted to slap Pam silly.
I understand it but I don’t like it. I just hope he has a plan and if AB is making him go this dark I can only hope he will have Eric be the redeemer in the end. I also have to remember that Eric truly doesn’t believe Sookie cares for him at all.. he said as much in the bar.. aka you are just here about Bill. So when it comes down to it how can he choose Sookie over Pam? Sacrificing himself and breaking Pam’s heart for the person who claims she would rather have cancer than be friendly with him? Yeah logically it wouldn’t happen. But either he has a plan so she will okay in the end or he will see what he has done and be so guilt ridden he has to make things right.
Although I am stumped by all the “I hate Eric” sentiment here. This is the first time I think he has ever really done anything bad.
Sorry Tiffany, but I gotta ask. You didn’t think it was bad to trick Sookie into drinking his blood, or abandoning her to KRE in his mansion or keeping Laf a prisoner for over 2 weeks while deciding how to use him? You don’t think it sucked as a maker in choosing Sookie over his own child just ‘cuz he’s lusting after her? Eric has continuosly lied to Sookie over 3 seasons. Not exactly a paragon of virtue.
Aemac,
Paragon of virtue? No, is he supposed to be? He is a vampire cripes sake that would be slightly ridiculous to expect him to be an angel. Him tricking Sookie into the bond was funny and no I don’t think it was bad at all. He left her at KRE’s mansion when she was locked inside a room and KRE was gone. If she had stayed put then she may not have been almost killed by Bill. So no I don’t blame him for tipping his hand to KRE about caring for her. He thought he had time AND if he had let KRE know he cared then KRE might decide to kill Sookie just to make him pay for killing Talbot. She is safer with KRE not knowing how he feels.
And Laf… please…. he was a V dealer and even Bill admitted that most vamps would have killed him without blinking. He didn’t know Sookie and Laf were friends until after (and he healed Laf as a result).. he thought Laf as a just a dealer so why on earth would I think bad of what Eric did to someone who for all Eric knew was draining vamps and selling their blood?
Eric has lied to someone who he has no connection to and who doesn’t like him as far as he knows. Saint Bill has lied just as much if not MORE and he claims to loooove her.
Sorry, once Eric messed with Laf he was on my sh*tlist for life.
I like Laf too but what did Eric owe him? Not a darn thing. Plus I think Eric healing him so he wouldn’t lose a leg, buying him a car, AND then saving him from a pack of were panthers makes up for anything he did. Laf and Eric seem almost chummy now.
Laf was also the last person to have seen Eddie a missing Vampire. For all Eric knew at the time, he drained him to death or left him in the sun.
The lies you talk about….Bill didn’t tell Sookie about Uncle Creepy or Jessica. Both lies of omission. Bill attempted to tell Sookie “If only you knew what I had to do to return to you”, why didn’t Sookie ask what happened to him? Uncle Creepy? As you say, he’s a vampire for cripes sake. That is the limit to Bill’s so called lies so far.
If Eric ate every human in BT as an appetizer you would excuse him because he was hungry. Take off your blinders Tiffany. Eric is your average vampire, the only thing he has going for him that puts him above others is his age. He didn’t get there from being nice. Even Pam attacked him for the way he treated Yvetta. Do you remember Pam telling him “You can be a cold hearted bastard.”? She’s knows him better than any. He’s conniving, devious and will do whatever he has to do to survive. There’s nothing wrong with that, so need to except that Eric does plenty wrong.
Bill doesn’t come even close to the atrocities that Eric has committed but yet you attack him mercilessly. All you seem to see is a handsome man which is rather superficial. I understand you and many others see the bullet sucking scene as funny and I understand why, but he tricked Sookie. She wouldn’t have done it willingly, and now against everything she would have wanted she is changed for life. She cannot control her emotions or feelings around Eric so you’ll never know if her feelings are true or not in the future.
when bill feed from sookie and almost killed her we all expected it. It was in the books and we all knew somehow that AB was gonna include it. We also knew that Bill would redeem himself.
But with eric throwing sook in the dungeon, its a big shock. Its not in the books, it through us off guard. We know Eric is using sookie, but we dont know if AB will have Eric redeem himself like Bill did! Im sure he will do something before the seasons end, though maybe little and worthless to sookie anyway!
What the hell is the season cliffhanger gonna be? Maybe Hallow has something to do with Jesus family… The dark arts stuff with jesus and laffy was interesting!!!
Jay,
How can Eric redeem himself after chaining her in the dungeon. We know that he and KRE are feeding from her. Unless Sookie knows about it and is playing along with it, that disgusting SOB is beyond redemption.
Eric didn’t stop himself from telling Sookie Bill’s deep dark secret because he thought he would die; he just isn’t that kind of a guy. Bill already told Sookie about the vampires and the fairies, so what is Bill’s deep dark secret? Even Eric realized that Bill didn’t know what QSA wanted Sookie for? However, if it turns out Bill knew QSA wanted Sookie for her fairy blood, then he is forever beyond redemption in my book.
I know that AB wanted to roughly parallel the books, but Bill stopped himself from draining and raping Sookie when he realized what he was doing. That is what many of us expected, not the near draining to death. Both in the books and the show, Bill has redeemed himself many times over by trying to save Sookie’s life; not so with Eric.
Bill knew that QSA had some interest in Sookie, but he just didn’t know what it was because he didn’t know what Sookie was. Now he knows what sookie is and he knows now why QSA wanted sookie. I still have my doubts if Bill was sent by the QSA because they’re making it too obvious.
I may not like everything Bill has done/will do, but I will NEVER turn my back on him.
TEAM BILL FOREVER!!!!
To quote Roswellover…”I still have my doubts if Bill was sent by the QSA because they’re making it too obvious.”
Once again, Bill uttered another vampire political statement by telling Eric that he was setting their cause back after his actions with Talbot and Russell. When vampires he knows start behaving badly — Eric killing Talbot, the antics of Malcolm/Liam/Diane, and warning Jessica not to go after the burning cross people — Bill gets political and mentions “the cause”. It makes me wonder if Bill is actually working with the AVL or the Authority. I would imagine that an entity like the Authority would plant spies in the inner circle of a King or Queen to keep tabs on them.
i agree.
i don’t think so, i think its just that Bill’s been on the outside for a long time and yearned to be on the inside again and now its come round he see’s it slipping away. But anyway I don’t think he underestimates humans like other vampires do and so he realizes that if vampires attack humans, humans are going to attack violently back.
Bill couldn’t know QSA wanted Sookie for her fae blood as he didn’t even know Sookie was fae. I doubt Bill even knows or thought about why QSA wanted Sookie, I doubt she would have given Bill any info on her as QSA trusts no one. And i believe the dossier was put together by Bill trying to figure out what Sookie was.
And let’s not forget that QSA told Eric to let Bill rot when Eric told her he was missing. It just seems to me Bill’s connection to QSA is tenuous at best. Plus, when he moved to Bon Temps he was living with that nest and had a real problem on his hands when they showed interest in Sookie. Methinks if he was sent to seduce her he’d have thought that through more.
Frankly, to me it doesn’t matter who sent Bill to Bon Temps or why he was sent to Bon Temps. We know now that he didn’t know what Sookie was and that was my biggest fear.
I worry the writers are contradicting themselves. Bill didn’t know Sookie was a fairy, but his credibility is too shot at this point. I still can’t completely believe him when he says he was only returning to Bon Temps to retire to his property and his roots, and just coincidentally fell for the strangely delicious waitress.
And he shot himself in the foot when he said that every supernatural he had ever met thought that vamps had made the fae extinct, as they are virtually magical opposites and the vampires acquire greatest sustenance and benefit from drinking from them/”taking their light.” So why has no one made this connection that Sookie could be one? They had no idea what their powers were, and didn’t see the signs in the her? Ugh.
Fairy existence is coming across as news to everyone, so Bill making that statement doesn’t work either way for me. Either he shouldn’t of ever heard that himself because no one knows and it’s untraceable secret fact because all involved are in absolute hiding or died the true death, or some worldly archaic vamps that had had encounters with fairies have kept the story alive, and most certainly Russell would have known, so it would have gone without saying.
i do believe eric has feelings for sookie but those feelings have never been enough to put her above himself in any meaningful way. for three seasons now he has used sookie as part of some plan that serves his needs first and foremost and each time she has been put into danger as a result. season one with questioning people at fangtasia. season two using her to infiltrate the fellowship of the sun. and now season three using her to plot against russell and exact his vengeance. he always thinks he has a plan but it’s not always thought through and puts too many in danger just to get to his own end. he says bill thinks emotionally too much but what about him. just because you think you can save everyone doesn’t always justify putting people in harms way. and after all sookie has been through recently to put her in the chains makes her a victim. i do think sookie is curious about him and attracted to him. but we still don’t truly understand the blood bond and eric has been kind of feeding her ideas without any real answers. are we to believe the dreams are simply her subconscious at play or is eric playing off of her subconscious in her dreams. he said two things, don’t trust bill and you know you want to kiss me. and then her direct actions afterwards resulted from those thoughts. even if she does feel that on some level i find it creepy. sookie has had bill’s blood too but there was obviously something there from the beginning before either had a taste for one another. much more clear cut to me.
Sookie being suspicious of Bill was not out of the blue or planted by Eric. Bill put her through hell only a few days prior to this and then he admitted on the show last night that it was in fact her blood that initially drew him to her. But he did a tap dance about how that isn’t why he loves her now. You could clearly see the doubt during that whole speech. The she overhears him and Eric talking about his lying and she has further reason to suspect. The fact that she immediately dreams about Eric and he brings up trusting Bill is her subconscious warning her that there is something Bill is not telling her and that she should be wary.
i didn’t say i think it was out of the blue or completely planted by eric. i also think sookie is attracted to eric. that doesn;t negate what i said and i think it was pretty clear in my post. i just don’t like how they are portraying it like you really aren’t sure why she is doing what she is doing. pat of the mystery of it all i know, but highly frustrating as a viewer. i do think bill is hiding something and eric knows. but i don’t think eric knows exactly what bill is hiding. i think eric thinks bill is just after sookie’s blood and has known what she is the whole time. i think bill works for someone besides the queen. it is too obvious they want us to believe it’s that simple. if anything he may be a double agent sent to keep tabs on the queen and he in turn “working” for her. i remember in season one when he was talking to the monroe vamps and saying “authorities higher than her”. he didn’t mean the queen. it i wrong that whatever bill is doing he is hiding from sookie but he is still redeemable.
Looks like the faires are going to have to come in and save Sookie because Bill certainly can’t do that and go against Eric.I think Eric is setting another trap but he must be careful because Russel is smart and won’t but outsmarted.i don’t think Russel is thinking straight anymore because he is still mourning so what Eric proposes might be a ruse to kill him.
This story with Eric does not follow the books but I guess he still needs to be mean Eric for him to be plausible.Eric is for Eric, almost always.
I don’t think Sookie has had enough of Eric’s blood yet to form a blood bond yet. Besides, Bill must have given her a tremendous amount of his own blood to save her when she was in the hospital. Although Bill is much younger than Eric, Sookie has had so much of his blood in her since he first saved her from the Ratrays, it would have to dilute the effects of the small amount of Eric’s blood she has taken.; according to the show’s timeline that is only about 2 months or so.
Sookie simply has an unusually high sex drive and just doesn’t seem to be able to control her hormones around good looking men. Even I recognize that Eric is a damn fine specimen of a man in the looks department. Her wililngness to kiss every hot guy she meets is something that is very unattractive about her character; it seems she will have a tendency to cheat on whoever she is with. I just don’t buy the excuse of her fairy blood, or that she’s young, and has to experience her sexuality to mature …., blah, blah and more blah. That is just plain trampy. Usually, a heroine has more strength of character than that, and it wouldn’t hurt her to practice a little self control.
I would like to see the fairies come in and help Bill save her, but really what have they done for her so far? Nothing much in my opinion. It would be good to see Bill work with Claudine to get Sookie out of this mess, but I won’t make any bets on that.
I think we need to do an effort to understand Sookie. Looks like the Sookie you just described is the Book one and I think Sookie is diferent in TB. Bill killed her uncle. Bill made a child without telling her. Bill had sex with Lorena (and yet, she doesn’t want to bring that into conversation). Bill kept a file on her. He almost kills her (though she knows he didn’t mean to). And now, she has just been told that vampires used to drain Faes and that her blood is V for vampires.
It’s normal that she has trust problems. What girl wouldn’t have them?
And then, that dream with Eric. I would really like to know, if Eric can manipulates her dreams through the blood bond. Let’s remember she didn’t dream of him while he was busy. So maybe he is able to step into her psyche while she is sleeping.
So I can understand that she wants to hear why Eric says she has not to trust Bill. She knows there’s something hidden. And she can’t live with that, that’s why she goes to the only person that claims to know the truth. Even if she does not trust Eric, I can see she wants to learn so many things as posible.
i agree. it does make sense that she is questioning everything right now as she should. she doesn’t completely trust eric but she was trying to fllow up on his warnings. although i have to say she was dumb to leave jason’s house on her own knowing how many are after her. i understand wanting to see eric without bill’s knowledge if she doesn’t trust him, but like sam said in season “pick up the phone” girlfriend.
and the whole dream situation is confusing as well as the blood tie. we still haven’t been completely informed of what it can and cannot do. of course sookie doesn’t trust bill and i do believe she is attracted to eric and curious about it. but how much of the dream was just her subconscious and how much is eric’s will playing off of it. so far her dreams about eric are different than any of the other dreams. she dreamed about bill in episode three but it was purely her fantasies and resembled the desirous dream she had about him in episode one before she had his blood. sam’s dream about bill was pure unfounded lust. sookie’s eric dreams are completely different and always carry a message. i remember the first one with eric saying she would make a great vampire. what was that??? i think foreshadowing to something.
Further to my post above.
If Eric and Sookie’s kiss was supposed to be the big moment for him, I am so not impressed. it was mechanical at best, an not romantic in the least.
It was LUST not true love. Some of us who aren’t about wine, rose petals, and sappy poetry.. LOVE that. Give me a man that wants to devour me like an animal any day!
Ugh, I HATE romance. Every time I see Bill going on and on about how Sookie is his miracle or how much he loves her, I want to smack him. I prefer love to be shown in tiny little mundane ways (taking out the trash so I don’t have to, etc.) with a healthy dose of sex. Giving someone dead plants or attempting to burn down their house with candles? Big turn off.
I thought the kiss was pretty good… way better than that corny “I’m lookin’ in your heart” bs with Sam in the first season. Too bad the afterglow was killed off immediately when Eric threw her in the dungeon.
Sorry, but I think Russell’s still the one getting cemented or whatevermacallit. Pam staking him isn’t a fantastic ending. He’s the big bad of this season. AB wouldn’t allow him to go without a proper sendoff.
Sophie-Anne will then get to take over his state, since he’s her husband. He’ll probably get to see the sun at least once with Sookie’s fairieJuice(tm) in episode 11. 12′s going to be the big battle. I’m thinking in eps 12 he will eventually snap out of whatever lull he’s in eps 11 that is keeping him from ripping Eric to shreds (give me a break).
Honestly, I could care less whether Eric lives or dies at this point. His character is such a shady piece of garbage in this series that I think every villain in the series has been more honourable than him in intentions, Russell included. Bill is a bit better, but he’s pretty shady as well. I hope Sookie goes with Alcide next season.
Watching this show has become downright depressing, considering that 2/3 of the new characters I loved are already gone. Russell’s the only one left now and he is the SOLE REASON why I bother catching TB at 9 PM every Sunday. With his loss, True Blood’s going to have huge shoes to fill. HUGE shoes.
Tiffany,
Who need the wine and roses? Someone who will love and cherish me, and not want to throw me to the wolves just to save his own ass or get revenge will do just fine. Even the best ravishing lasts only so long, what about the rest of your life?
If Bill and Eric fans have come up with too many excuses for their behavior, I think the same thing can be said about Sookie fans.
For 3 years many of us have been debating who has the best boyfriend material for the Sookster: Bill, Eric, Alciide, Sam, yada, yada, yada. Frankly, at this point, I think it’s time to wonder if the skanky telpath is good girlfriend material for any guy. So far, she hasn’t shown that she is.
Well, I don’t know about that. Seriously if I had supernaturals the likes of Bill, Eric, and Alcide all wanting me…. you best believe I would be with ALL of them. She’s only skanky if you believe in the one man and one woman for their whole lives stuff. I don’t see why a young woman can’t have her fun.
I’m fine with Sookie having her fun – but this “fun” is all happening within the space of a single week! during the same week she is professing her love for one man, she’s flirting with another man and then kissing yet someone else! If Sookie wants to have fun, perhaps it is best that she does swear off all Vampires and just get her sex on. Nothing wrong with that – just be upfront about it.
TruBNewsB.
That has always been one of my problems with Sookie: She doesn’t even let the sheets get cold before she is kissing on another man. Yuk. What was it, just 2 or 3 days ago that she was telling Bill she loved him. Any man foolish enough to fall for her is simply asking for heartache.
Eric may have some feelings for her, but he sure isn’t going to let them get in the way of getting what he wants. Now, I am more convinced than ever that his attraction to her has moe to do with her fairy blood, not any real emotion. I wonder if he is even capable of love. He sure didn’t seem to care how afraid she was when she was locked up in KRE’s palace. Now, telling her he would regret not having kissed her before he meets his true death, kissing her, and then chaining her up like an animal so he can use her is far, far worse than anything Bill ever did.
Seeing the preview of her helplessness and her screaming as she is being fed on, really makes my blood run cold, even if I don’t like her. If Eric intentionally lets KRE feed on her and feeds on her himself, that is so much worse than the accidental draining by Bill. That is so much worse than any perceived cheating with Lorena wihch at this point is a non-issue because everyithing else that e is happening is so much worse. It is so much worse than being sent by QSA to seduce her. I don’t think Bill had any idea what the queen wanted with her.
i think part of why sookie is so lusty is that she was a virgin for 25 years and she has had so much vampire blood. girl was super horny for bill when she first met him, before any blood was exchanged. then she lost her virginity and started becoming more and more desirous of sex. now that she has had so much vampire blood she is super frisky. all of this has happened within a period of less than two months. i get it but it is frustrating. i remember her kissing sam while bill was away being punished for protecting her. she is in lust with eric. and now she is flirtatous with alcide. and all this time with all of these other interests she still wants to bang bill every chance she gets. it’s a lot going on for someone who is in love. i do like that in an earlier episode when tara brought up bill and lorena sookie admitted wanting to cheat. she is aware of her wandering eye ( and lips ) and i can respect her owning up to it. it just makes it hard to view her as ever being able to stay loyal to one man. i don’t fault her for it given the circumstances listed above but it is a fact i am aware of.
Hi Coocablossoms,
I got to believe that Bill gives it to her good and plenty when they are together; he is a vampire after all. So Bill’s vampire blood and her farily recent vriginity is no excuse for acting like a sex addict. Most of us can remember what it was like to be young and very horny, but Sookie is so far beyond that; she is in another realm entirely. She seems to have a real problem controlling her sex drive, and at this point, she is ot relationship material for anyone in my opinion..
I think it is just too easy to excuse her bad behavior. If we are going to be critical of the men, we should be just as critical of her.
oh i definititely hate her behavior but i see where it is coming from. i actually think she should break up with bill if she is so easily drawn to other men.
Eric is going to end up a hero. A hero who has a plan, which is one plan more than any other character has.. I don’t understand all the outrage over what a terrible thing he’s done to Sook. She is a One Note of Complaint, in her kitchen, at Bill’s, with Tara, with Jason, with the local sheriff, with – well, with everybody and in every place. She’s in the dungeon, and the fussing hasn’t really stepped up or down a notch. Same old, same old. She’ll keep.
IMO, the only heartless thing Eric did in this episode was to cut Yvetta out of his will. A harder working gold digger never existed. Sure, he didn’t respect her in the morning, but leave the girl a tip, for pete’s sake.
The Bad Guy is Russell, except now he’s not just purely powerful and wily, he’s incautious and grief-crazed and delusional. on a murderous revenge streak (A tragedy, a great fall. ) If anyone, vampire or human or fairy quadroon, is to be safe, KRE has to be neutralized. Enter the Viking, with a push from Pam.
And if we are all generally right about Sookie’s blood as the keystone to Eric’s strategy, then yippee! At last the character has a real point in the series that’s been missing since S1. (besides hot-guy whisperer – Iclabon, that was genius). Then again, I’m one of possibly three people in the known universe who finds the luuuv triangle about as riveting. as hay.
LOLOLOLOL. And what’s all the drama about the chain’s anyway? Even a novice romance novel reader can tell you many a great love story began this way.
I think AB tries to cram too much into this season with new characters and old ones all over the place hopefully a simpler story will happen next season and we’ll get the best from the ensemble cast. But lets be honest from what we’re seeing at the moment Eric isn’t exactly ‘man of your dreams’ material.
Let’s see now. Eric is total evil? I think Eric has the worse situation this season. He’s been betrayed by his Queen which put his progeny in danger. To save his progeny he had to go to Russell only to find out that he has been the entity he has sworn revenge for 1000 years. The fact that he is developing feelings for Sookie obviously gets trumped by the situation. He’s been fired by this revenge for a 1000 years, you think he’ll give that all up for his new found feelings for Sookie? Oh, and let’s not forget there is still Pam – his vampire child. Eric is first and foremost a vampire. He has shown his loyalty to his maker Godric and he more than willingly offered himself to the magistrate for Pam. I don’t expect Bill lovers to understand this because Bill is not a good maker, he even wanted to kick Jessica out of the house, jessica is the one who felt loyalty to stay with her maker. Although I don’t blame Bill because he had a terrible maker in Lorena.
Eric decided to use Sookie, Pam got through to him – vampires first. But I think we’ll be seeing Eric grappling with his conscience. Compared to other vampires (Russell, Franklin, Sophie-Ann even the hyprocrite that is Nan Flanagan etc.) – Eric is the good guy. I found him ruthless this season only when he staked poor Talbot and drank from Hadley.
Eric is ruthless – he is a vampire. Sookie almost makes him feel human and that’s the conflict that makes him
very interesting this season. Bill is one-dimensional – it’s all Sookie – and that makes for a very boring hero.
I did like Bill in season 1 but season 2 starting with Dallas I did a 180 and now I like Eric – heck I don’t even
care if he ends up with Sookie – I find his character infinitely more interesting than Sookie thanks to the
superb acting of Alexander Skarsgard.
Hi!
Did anyone else saw that it´s Eric who drinks from Sookie, in that preview.
It looks like it´s Russel, but it´s Eric.
And I hope that Sookie will give her blood to Eric, and Eric will fead her after that. (After Bill said “I have to fead her or she dies”)
SL.
Yes I saw that it was Eric who fed from her. He know knows her blood can let him walk in the daylight for a few minutes, and I am sure he wants to use that to his advantage. What a hero the big blonde vampire has turned out to be (heavy sarcasm).
Re your comment that you hope Sookie will give her blood to Eric and that he will feed her after that. OMG, a potentional blood bond at this point? That is just to sick to comprehend.
I just don’t understand why some fans really can’t get why that would be an even bigger violation of Sookie than what that bastard has done to her already. I don’t think there is anything Eric can do that goes too far, or is too evil, in some fan’s minds. I think these fans are suffering from a severe case of Stockholm Syndrom, remotely of course.
Is sex with the big blonde worth that? Is his gracious plenty worth that? Do you think chaining someone up with a collar around her neck like a dog a and then forcing or tricking her into mental bondage and hoping she will eventually love you is a good thing? That is way too sick for me.
Erm, I think I know a good swashbuckling when I see one, BillFan45 ;-) Let me know when Eric starts doing unspeakable things things to small furry creatures, and I’ll get on the Evil Eric bandwagon.
This is why we haven’t seen Eric’s home yet. It must be full of teacup-sized torture devices :P
I guess I just don’t think bondage of any sort is romantic in swashbuckling fiction or otherwise. Perhaps it would work in some medieval romance, but Sookie is a modern woman. Falling in love with someone who would do that to you is a mental sickness IMO.
Further to above. What Eric has done to Sookie so far is deliberate and intentional physical abuse, plain and simple. From the previews for next week, it looks like it might be even worse; I still see Sookie’s face as she screamis in fear as it looks like someone is getting ready to feed on her, and that is disturbing to me.
Too many yojng girls and young women already allow their boyfriends or husbands to physically abuse them., and I just bet that many of us know a few of them. I don’t think you would like that happening to your daughter or wives. It is not romantic and it is not funny. Romanticizing what Eric has done on the show is just plain wrong. Just something to think about.
BillFan45,
yep, you get my point.
I hope there is going to be blood bond between Sookie and Eric, and I think this is good time for that…
And we must remember that Eric is a vampire and he has done pretty wild things.
And I think Eric would do anything (at this point) to save Sookie. He was quite surprised that Sookie responded to his kiss, and it clearly aroused some feelings in him.
Chaining Sookie is quite extreme, but I think it´s only way he can save her from Russel.
And yep, you`re right, I got serious Stockholm Syndrom ;-)
Greetings from Finland! -SL
BillFan45, I agree with most of what you said. Some eric fans will always excuse eric’s behavior. He didn’t have to go there with Sookie and he could have clued her in. If Bill did that, I would be pissed and I would not be making excuses for him. I maybe a Bill fan but I can admit when he’s wrong, but from my experience the majority of Eric fans ALWAYS makes excuses for his behavior (some of the threads on this site is a perfect example).
