Haha, sorry Wyn, but I disagree. I don't blame the show for that, I've got to point at you (in fun, of course). The entire episode, given all the "someone's gonna die in Ep 6" rumors, had me going..."hm, is it going to be Terry who dies? It it going to be Nora who dies from Hep V? (Except she's not a series-long character, so I knew it wasn't going to be her.) Is it going to be Eric, seemingly all trapped in that cage and subject to injection or other torture, like Nora? (Except that he's central to the series and the idiots who thought Eric would be killed off will always be wrong, unless it's the series finale next year.)?" Then they went and glamored him and made him all happy, and the whole drawn-out Merlotte's scene before he went to take the trash out was so obvious...because it wasn't a "suicide." Remember, he wanted that creepy friend of his to do it "because I don't want to see it coming?" That was sad, I really did tear up. But they jumped the shark with his storyline last year with that Ifrit crap, sad to say. So maybe he wants off the show, and more power to him.
That said, they could totally have streamlined his and Arlene's storyline this year, the way they are doing with the others.
A friend of mine said, "whenever they give Sookie a new love interest, they make the previous ones suddenly very unlikeable." So true. Poor Alcide, he's the victim of that, this year. I usually enjoy most of Sam's sub-plots, despite the fact that he's always lovelorn...but at least they remain consistent with him, both in the show and heck, he was that way in the books, too.
Kwanten and Jessica really did make good showings tonight, they're so interesting. But yeah, looks like she's made a new buddy at vamp camp. (Fyi, the actor who played new vamp "James" was the kid who played the other bastard kid they found, in the last season of "Brothers and Sisters." Wonder if he and Rob Kazinsky have the same agent, as they both were guests on that show together, first.)
That said, I keep rewatching it...only for the Warlow/Sookie scenes. What a neat actor Kazinsky is, and it's nice to see them having real, human conversations that actually explain what's going on, create sympathy for him, and set them up for lots of potential ways the story can go.
And yet, THAT said, I predict Warlow will only be around til the end of this season and be killed. Sookie digs him and he's probably good for her, but I predict she will ultimately reject the idea of him turning her, Lillith will be exorcised from Bill's body, and Warlow will allow himself to be killed to end his suffering.
Anyone...?
PS--EDIT: And yes, I found myself rooting for the vamps, too! I wondered, when Eric summoned Willa to glamor the guard and manipulate him into giving them keys, why they hadn't done this from day one, in that joint. The vamps suddenly have looked all emasculated and scared, and...they still have their powers. They ALL could have been doing that, this entire time...couldn't they?

Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." --Alice in Wonderland

Guess that's why Jason once described fangs as like twin hard-ons.
