Wow... Talk about an episode full of content! This one really pumped up the info we now know.

Also, who thought that ending was coming?

They did show it in the preview after last weeks episode.

Good episode; I never read any of the books so I'm gueesing that Sookie's boss might be a lycan.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Ahh, the Movie Network (where we get out HBO shows from) here in Canada doesn't show previews so didn't know

Yeah, I am betting he is too.

 

[Truth Seeker]

Bloody Hell...not Gran!!

Bloody Hell...not Gran!!

Bill better start kicking ass and taking names to find out who did this.

Though I really liked Gran.

bah...he is a Louis clone. I highly doubt he'll be the one to do anything. I figure he is just there as a plot distraction from who the killer is.

Personally I think it is going to come down to some mind reading....

Agreed. Set the stage with vampires and werewolves to cloak just how dark the human heart can be. And be fair, with vampires in the foreground and the hint of lycanthropes to come, nothing prevents the writers from throwing in a ghost or two. Gran might not be written out entirely.

I like Bill, thusfar. At least I can relate with his taste in music. As I tend to tell people "My wife listens to country music. I listen to music from other countries."

Does anyone else wonder, with Bill admitting that vampires have no brainwaves or electrical current in their bodies, what would happen if you hit one with a defibrillator?

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Hmm... Well, it depends on how sensitive these vamps are to fire. I could see one that is poofing into flames at being hit by a defibrillator (electrical sparks and all).

I dunno, Bill seems like someone that if need be could really get nasty. Don't ask me why, but in a way he reminds me of one of the Roman, Cultured Gangrel of Masquerade (with Protean or Animalism).

I liked how he had all that world music, makes sense you would get tired of listening to ordinary music all the time with such a long life.
