It was an hour of the shows greatest hits.
Like a Beach Boys concert, this is coasting off nostalgia and goodwill for the old days.
And grateful we are to see the Magister from season one (the guy who gave us Baby Jessica!
), Hoyt, Terry, and especially Ginger.
It might not be a new single, but at this point, Ill take these good vibrations.
The episode begins with the Stackhouse siblings giving their condolences to some old faces.
Seeing Hoyt was the nicer of the reprisals.
Then again, how exactly is Hoyt going to get down to Bon Temps from Alaska?
But are those people even that good?
At least this week, they appeared somewhat smarter.
For once, I could not fault any character too greatly with their choices.
Sookie being able to easily convince Andy to let her psychically jog Hollys memory through telepathy was wise.
Seeing Sookie then quickly figure out what weve known for weeksthat theyre all trapped in Fangtasiawas refreshing.
But a vampire starving herself?
Is that a thing this side of Louis de Pointe du Lac?
She feeds on Lafayette, and all is good.
But what is especially good about tonight is the reintroduction of Eric to the main storyline in Louisiana.
And that Pam then stole it from her!
Even Sookie drops her infatuation with Bill for five minutes to fall into Erics arms since hes dying.
I cant help but also smile at Eric and Sookie sharing a moment.
Things got a little hectic after that.
Im sure they did, Eric.
And yet, he chose to omit again how he got his case of Hep-V.
I am almost certain now that he contracted the disease on purpose.
At least until near the finale when he will likely get a change of heart.
Theyre going to take the Vombies at Fangtasia down!
And they even have time for witty Eric-Bill banter.
If this is a greatest hits show, then this is their Livin On A Prayer moment.
And they almost were when the vampires took their sweet time at saving Arlene.
At least, Eric and Sookie do get to play the Vombies for a moment until the showdown begins.
But thats okay, unlike Alcide, all the vampire characters onTrue Bloodhave plot armor.
But this moment for the most worked.
