FYI: The spoiler in the OP is very detailed and goes beyond the usual "Sam gets into a situation with his new family"-type plot descriptions.

Not exactly True Blood related, but I am currently watching the Blu-Ray of Generation Kill. While I know not everyone will be Team Eric, I don't think anyone could watch this and not get a good deal of respect for Alexander Skarsgard as an actor. I think he has the potential to be a major star if he makes the right choices and stays away from stupid stuff like movies based on board games.

Incredible ep. overall, even if it did run short. A lot happened tonight, no denying it. I'm guessing what Russell did would be the mafia equivalent of whacking an FBI agent or important member of a powerful family.
Once again I think this show filled its gore quotient for the year. The post-mortem tribute to Bill and Lorenna was cool, but somewhat cheesy. RIP Lorenna, you will be missed, to an extent.

What a fucking episode tonight! I was surprised at how many people were killed off tonight! And I think by now it should be obvious why the queen is interested in Sookie.
Glad that Claudine was finally introduced as well! My only complaint this episode was how short this episode was. After more people have watched this and posted, Ill post more

I'm also glad Hadley has been getting more time as well.

So I'm guessing
While I knew she was going to get saved, I was somewhat surprised that we didn't see the Magister pierce Pam's eyes first. It was just that kind of no holds barred ep. While she wasn't given much, it was obvious from her attitude that the Magister had been torturing her pretty much non-stop since Eric left. Seemed she was going to be defiant to the end, and that was very good acting from Ms. Von Stratten. I also liked how they threw in Eric asking her if she was okay. Showed that he authentically cared for her well being.

Funny scenes with Jason in this episode. Particularly, Jason 'sweeping' in the jail cell and approaching Lafayette in the kitchen.

Don't really see the same relationship with Bill and Jessica though which is strange.

The major flaw with this episode was not enough Jessica. She and Hoyt(?) were the best part of last season. Then again, I would be happy with an entire episode of her just doing her nails. She's perfect.

Of course Jason got to taste Hoyt's new girls biscuits before Hoyt did. That scene was perfectly played between Jason and Hoyt.
