But have no fear Truebies, it seems we will get our fill of viking vampire Eric Northman in the final ever season of True Blood, thanks to this tasty tidbit from Entertainment Weekly:
When he first appears, he’s letting Jason (Ryan Kwanten) unbuckle his belt, with enough candles flickering in the background to light a cake for his 1,087th birthday. But as it turns out, this is all just Jason’s dream. More silly than sexy, the scene glows as if someone had set True Blood‘s Instagram filter to “Valtrex commercial.” We’ve seen this kind of cheap fake-out before, like when Jason’s romance with Warlow was later revealed to be just a fantasy. They can’t fool us again.
Is all of this enough to abandon True Blood before its grand finale? Not quite. There’s a clever twist involving Eric that could set up an exciting arc for Sookie [played by Anna Paquin]. Whether he is dead-dead or just undead — we won’t spoil that here — he will definitely spark some suspense this season. Even if Sookie ends up with Bill (Stephen Moyer), there’s enough of Sweden’s favorite sunbather to satisfy.
Now I think that is just about the best news I’ve heard all day! What is your take on this exciting development? How do you think this story line will pan out between Eric and Sookie? And what do you think of the fabulous True Blood themed cover for the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly (pictured below)? Let us know in the comments below!
