True Blood this week

Sookie and Eric are making out to some cheesy violin music in a scene right out of a romance novel, when Bill busts in fangs a’ blaring. They fight over Sookie and it looks like Eric (still in those high-school-gym-class-issued athletic shorts) is still stronger (and older) than Bill, even if he is the King. Sweet, confused Eric cowers and apologizes when Sookie tells him Bill is his King. Bill’s goons take Eric in. Sookie pleads with Bill (who Pam aptly describes as a “self loathing power hungry pompous little dork”–We love Pam) not to hurt him but it’s “vampire business” and he tells Sookie to butt out. In the basement prison, Eric sees Pam with her face peeling off and blood coming out of her eyes. Merlotte’s. Sookie calls Jason for help with Bill. Tommy (looking like Sam) fires Sookie. Sookie finds Jason tied up on his bed. We’re talking predator, Sookie. Too bad Tara is totally queasy of vampires. Tommy (still looking like Sam) suddenly gets lucky. Jessica runs to rescue Jason. Jason is freaking out. Tommy tosses Sam’s girlfriend her bra and shows her the door (always the charmer, Tommy). Eric kneels before King Bill and admits to consorting with his human. Eric tells Bill Sookie still cares for him and asks him to take care of her after he’s dead. Bill set Eric free so he can run to Sookie and they can make out in the woods. King Bill seems genuinely hurt but do we care? Is it too little too late for Bill? Eric and Sookie are rolling around in the woods at night under a full moon.

Tommy and Sam Get a Little Too Close
Swamp sex.
The true freak out of the night: Bill (Stephen Moyer) nearly killing our beloved Eric. Evil Baby? Look: I am all for New Eric. But New Eric is also kind of a little bitch, right? Immediatly, Eric bends his knee and is all, "Your highness!"
Except why would no-memory Eric care who his king is? - Eric Northman, 2011
If Bill actually believes Eric is faking the whole amnesia thing, maybe he should just keep those two apart? Shut up, plaintive New Eric.
Bill letting Eric go doesn't even make sense in the reality of a show populated by imaginary creatures. Sookie is the world's worst waitress. Sookie reminds Jason that if he morphs, the handcuffs will slip right off. Right? Conveniently, Luis works for King Bill now. Let's all just take a minute to enjoy the Sookie/Eric relationship before it gets as cloying and sentimentally stupid as the Sookie/Bill one did.
