True Blood Ep 2 spoilers: bring on the Nazi werewolves !

A few highlights, to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:
- -Nazi werewolves! No, seriously. There are several flashbacks to the Second World War, when charismatic Nordic vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard, stealing virtually every scene he's in) is a Nazi officer, fighting the good fight on the side of truth, light and righteous justice.
- -Anna Paquin is marvellous as Sookie Stackhouse, walking so many fine lines it's dizzying to watch. When she tells Eric, "Don't you underestimate me," and he snaps back, "Don't you underestimate yourself," about five different reactions flood across her face. This is refined acting.
- -Jason Stackhouse isn't just dumb. He's a whole other level of dumb. But you already know that.
- -A new character, Russell Edgington, the self-described "Vampire King of Mississippi," rides to Bill Compton's rescue in the middle of the night on a white polo pony, looking ridiculous in a burgundy tuxedo with a New England school crest, muttering pleasantries like, "You drank ... from my guest?"
- -Another new character -- a cursing werewolf who answers to the name "Cooter" -- takes serious offence whenever someone mentions his name out loud. "Call me that again," he seethes, with paranoiac rage: "I (expletive) dare you."

* "Operation Werewolf" refers to an German commando unit which fought at the end of World War II

** Sergeant Kinney", Caucasian or African-American, 20s. Sergeant Kinney appears in a flashback sequence to the German front of World War Two. He is a fresh-faced American soldier who is away from home for the first time. Though he is in a harsh and brutal environment, Sergeant Kinney somehow has a touch of naivete to him. While marching through Nazi Germany, he is approached by a frightened civilian German lady who begs for his help. He goes over to her to see if she is okay, but it turns out that this woman is actually a full-fledged Nazi, and he is met by a sudden attack. PRINCIPLE ROLE
