What I'm Watching: True Blood

True Blood: Season 1, Episode 8 "The Fourth Man in the Fire" (B+)

I knew Bill couldn't be dead, but I wasn't prepared for his awesome return, lunging up from underneath the ground and then engaging in a passionate sex scene with Sookie. I'm liking him more and more nowadays, and this show continues to impress me. I guess Lizzy Caplan will be sticking around for a bit, especially considering that insane finale. Stephen Root, who really is a great actor, giving a performance so directly opposite from his "Office Space" role as Milton, creates a sympathetic but needy portrait of a friendly vampire. I'm saddened to think what will happen to him, as Jason's new girl is nowhere near as innocent as she first seemed.
