[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4893419, member: 115"] I liked this episode a lot, but for me it didn't really gel together like it should have. The individual scenes were all good, but as a whole... to me it felt like a series of scenes, instead of an episode. Wow, the CGI on Godric was awful. Also inconsistent with how we've seen other vampires react with sunlight. Lafayette was seven kinds of awesome in this episode. I don't see Lafayette being able to take on Eggs normally, let alone with such ease as he did. I suspect he's gotten a little boost from drinking Eric's blood. It may also make him resistant to Maryanne's black-eye, like the other "supes." However, the king of ass-kicking in this episode has to go to Hoyt. While his scene with Jessica in the beginning was meh, the rest of them were great. What? Sam being smart [I]and[/I] clever? Huh? I liked how he showed up naked at Andy's door, and Andy just let him in, no questions. Andy has to know that Sam was locked up, and that Sam somehow escaped. I'm hoping Sam reveals his ability to Andy. I also have to say, I like that they're having Sam change into other forms besides the collie. The Sookie/Jason scene was nice... but RK acts circles around Anna. I guess I buy Godric being suicidal. As he said, he doesn't think like a vampire anymore. The implied ending to that thought is that he thinks like a human once again, after two thousand years. Of course, now that he is dead, the vampires have lost a major force for morality. Perhaps Godric was able to set something in motion... or perhaps not. There was an interesting line that Sookie says to Bill that went something like, "After 1800 years, maybe you'll be Godric." Of course, the implication is that Sookie doesn't quite think of Bill as being as human as Godric, but that's an aside. Whereas Godric took 2000 years to come to right versus wrong, Bill came to it in only 200 (less, more likely). I would dare say that, if still alive in 2000 years, Bill is at the forefront of the morality of vampires. He isn't perfect, but he tries. It also makes sense then that Jessica has retained most of her morality. Again, it's a matter of nature versus nurture. That's underscored with the comment (I forget by whom) that Godric made Eric what he is. Of course, Godric was wrong, and admitted it to Eric... so maybe there's hope for him yet. Back on the lighter side of things, it's readily apparent that the remainder of the season is going to be a sort of [I]Return of the King[/I] style denoument, where Sookie, Jason, Eric, and Bill return to Bon Temps to stop Maryann, perhaps with assists from Sam, Andy, and Lafayette.
