True Blood - Fresh Blood, S03E11

Oh my lord. What an incredible episode. True Blood's episode endings have always left me completely at the edge of my seat, but this time I fell right off my chair. And that was at the end of an exciting episode. How on Earth is the season going to end?

Wow. Can I say that again? Wow. Silver spray, Bill (Stephen Moyer) rescuing Sookie (Anna Paquin) from Pam (Kristin Bauer), Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and a clearly disturbed Russell (Denis O'Hare) meeting in an art gallery to discuss the late Talbot's artistic tastes, Sam (Sam Trammell) going off the deep end for no apparent reason, Arlene (Carrie Preston) being unable to lose Rene's child, and Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) having one crazy trip...

And now, left with Sookie potentially dying on the table while Bill is desperate to get to her, and Pam, unable to help as she is watching Eric sacrifice himself to the sun to kill Russell. I know Eric can't die. I mean, he can't because so many of the viewers love him. Plus, how can we not love him when we know he wanted to keep Sookie alive just as much as Bill did. And poor Bill and Sookie's mangled relationship. The trust is almost entirely gone when just 11 episodes ago, Bill was proposing and Sookie was ready to say yes.

But now it all has to come together. Vampires catching fire in the sunlight, shape-shifters robbing each other blind, weres coming after anyone and everyone, and Sam and Tara (Rutina Wesley) finally hooking up again. Excitement is in the air.
