He STILL looked like he was giving her the stinkeye a little bit, and Ima be pissed if they don't get over their stupid rift.
So, obviously, next season Sookie is going to struggle more with losing her fairy light.
Also, I always forget just how good an actor Ryan Kwanten is.
I will miss you, Russell, but it was your time and your death was awesome and earned.
Did they just forget about the real Steve Newlin after the beginning, or am I forgetting something. I remember Steve Newluna.
And how faux-Nan exploded? Awesome.
Loved how Eric kept telling Nora to leave Sookie alone and treat Tara nice
Looks like Billith will be adopting Sam's patented no-clothes-for-entire-episodes look.

And here's the transcript of the bonus scene, from Entertainment Weekly
[Elevator doors close]
Jessica, to Jason: Jason, she’s going to be OK.
[Jason's zoned out. He ain't listening.]
Nora: We don’t have time for this. They’ll be waiting for us up there.
[Everyone preps their weapons.]
Tara, to Pam: You better not go and get yourself killed, you hear? ‘Cause you and I’ve got a date. It’s been a long time coming
Pam: If that’s not an impetus to survive, I don’t know what is.
[Hot.]
[Jason rocks back and forth like a crazy person. In an "interactive feature," we can see that the parentals are using elevator time to feed him a little nonsense. Dad: "You got 11 of them, champ. We counted." Mom: "Eleven soul-less fangers dead for good. I'm so proud of you." Dad: "You just keep taking them out until you get that motherf--ker Warlow." Mom: "Language!" Dad: "You've got four of them here. Easy pickin's."]
Jessica, to Jason: You OK, Jason?
[Jason looks around the elevator, still lost in his parents' words. He looks like he could shoot everyone in the elevator at any second. The elevator doors open just in time.]
Vamps: [threatening hiss as they prep for battle.]
[The room seems empty...then a vamp goes for them. BAM! Jason gets it. And they start to go up a staircase.]
Jason: I’m coming for you, Warlow.
Nora: Warlow?! What do you know about Warlow?
[Jason turns toward Nora...]
[Fade to black]

Thanks for posting that. I didn't even know there was a bonus scene, so I just went to HBOGo and watched it!
I have HBO through DirecTV but have no idea how to access HBOGo. I'll figure it out eventually.
I wondered why they didn't mention Warlow, so glad to know they did. It was just taken out.

Do you pay your DirecTV bill online? You just login to HBOGo using that same password. It asks your your provider when you login.
I knew we were in for a good episode when Eric had Russell, and I thought, "Jesus, how many times to they get Russell close to death only to ..." and then splat!
I just watched the bonus scene and can't imagine why they cut it unless they decided they're going to go another way with the Warlow storyline next season.

Yeah, I can't figure out why they cut it, either.
Some other stuff about the show tonight - Jane Bodhouse!
I'm rewatching the Steve Newluna stuff again and this actor (I think it's Michael something) really did such a wonderful job. Skinwalking kills (why does it kill? Have they ever actually said?), but it gives the actors on this show some fun stuff to do.

I don't think the bonus scene was cut. You'll see it next season. The conclusion of the cliffhanger has already been filmed and those scenes will kick-off season 6.
Full disclosure: I had to rewind this scene twice to figure out it was Eric
Eric on the car, the birth scene and Sam busting out of that woman made me fall in love with the show all over again. True Blood makes its crazy and owns it,

I still miss you, Nan!
A nice little chat with Denis O'Hare
Maybe next season will start 10 years in the future and Susan & Lynette, I mean Sookie & Tara, will have found a way to bring Nan back from the "un-dead".

I would love that. I think I'm going to use the time in between seasons to write Nan Flanagan fan fiction.

Love it.
As my reward for that, you can make me a picture of Gyllenhaal covered in blood with "PRAISE GYLLITH" written underneath it.
Finale highs:
1. Billith...Bill's got his stones back even if they're bloody
2. Big E finally taking out King Russell
3. Alcide manning up (or V-ing up) to deal with JD
4. Faux-Nan meeting her maker ala Agent Smith in the Matrix trilogy
5. Pam reuniting with Erik
Lows:
1. Jason returning to being stuck on stupid
2. Pam and Tara sucking face...the maker-progeny bond worked like a charm however the sapphic sisterhood bordered on yuckie given their history; just think of Bill and Jessica doin' the nasty for a visual
3. More of Sam & Luna's anatomies...it got gratuitous as the season progressed
4. Salome's departure...the show needs a credible femme fatale to counter Sookie's Mary Sue and who's not perpetually on her period like Lilith
PS: I hope Lorena returns somehow!

I love you, Phyllis.
