'True Blood': Sookie bites Eric, and 'I'm full of joy, I want to burn!'


Ken from EW writes...my favorite part was the end

Yes, TV exerts a great and terrible power, doesn’t it, making us helplessly in thrall to True Blood. There was a beautiful moment when Eric cries as Godric explains he must die to atone for his sins. The love between the two men was palpable: “There are centuries of faith and love between us,” said Godric, trying to comfort an agonized Eric.

In the closing moments, a now-chastened, eager-to-atone Godric went up on a roof to see the killing sunrise. Sookie, ever the forgiving Christian, tried to comfort him, but Godric’s different faith surpassed even hers in welcoming either final death or a soul brought to ultimate justice: “I’m full of joy… I want to burn!” Godric cried in final ecstasy.

The mixture of Christian and pagan faith; same-sex and hetero-sex love; and Sookie in a red gingham dress looking like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz… it was another genre-bending, mind-expanding edition of True Blood.

This was the emotional rollacoaster
ride of the season,from laughing to
fights,making up,dream sex,to the
thing we never want to happen dealing
with death.Things are going to change
from here out,and i for one want to be there to see it all happen,Alan
Ball and his team of writers are the
best,i know that there will be moments i will not agree with but this is the best show on tv right
now.It the best actors and they get along so well,if they don't
get an something out of this next
year somebody is not doing their
job.

Best of times ~ what a show!

Worst of times ~ I'm crying tears of blood for Bill!

The dream sequence was not as seductive as I'd hoped. The chemistry between Anna and Alex is non existent.

There was more chemistry between Sookie and Eric in this episode than there ever has been between Sookie and Bill. Sadly real life couples rarely can create chemistry together on film.

^Someone is very hopeful and needs a reality check.

To the 2 anonymouses (anonymoni?). If you use the "Name/URL" option, you don't have to register or anything. Just put in your first name or a made-up name when the box appears after you click on that option. No one can find you, you don't have to enter your email or anything else. You don't have to enter a URL either. But then we can tell your comments apart when you are both commenting.

And by the way, I thought the Eric/Sookie dreamscape was waaaaay hot. And they looked so beautiful together in all their golden glory. Now look-you've got me waxing poetic!
