Remembering Favorite True Blood Moments

The countdown to the season two finale has definitely begun! As the excitement grows until we finally get to see the resolution to Maryann and her sacrifice, IGN TV recounted their favorite moments of True Blood up to this point. "Couple of the Year," referring to Bill and Eric -- "The southern gentleman and the euro-hipster in a tracksuit"-- at the clothing store. The saleswoman might have gotten the wrong impression when she saw these two together but it's not a bad idea! Especially when you look back at the scene from season one where Eric is waiting in Bill's bath ("I texted you three times. Why didn't you reply?") Forget Sookie -- man love is clearly on the horizon and the formation of a new team: Team Bill-n-Eric. "Eddie's End," the inevitable demise of the pathetic vampire who was just looking for companionship and ended up getting used for his V juice. He brought out a new side in Jason:

Not only were Jason's scenes with Eddie touching but they showed us how quiet and successfully emotional this show could be when it tried to.

If only Amy hadn't staked him and reduced him to a messy pool of blood and guts... "Bill's Beginning," the flashbacks to human Bill from "Sparks Fly Out." The weary soldier's goodness and loyalty to his wife and children showed Lorena that he was worthy to stay alive but she turned him into a vampire so that he could be hers.

Seeing Bill watch his family from a distance and ultimately say goodbye with a bloody tear, was heartbreaking.

"AIDS Burger," Lafayette's memorable outburst against bigotry. The fry cook may wear have some effeminate qualities but he can stick up for himself. Alan Ball says in an episode commentary that he didn't think Lafayette would have survived as a gay black kid growing up in rural Louisiana if he weren't tough. And the beatdown of Royce, followed by the comment, "Tip your waitress," was enough to show us that True Blood wouldn't be the same without Lafayette. "Sex and Candy," Jessica's entrance into Merlotte's when she finally found herself free of her mainstreaming maker, Bill. She may be an annoying, impulsive young vampire but she proved that there was still some sweetness in her:

She entered Merlotte's with the worst of intentions and met up with a young man with the best of intentions. Hoyt.

"The Other White Meat," dream scene or not, seeing Eric and Sookie naked in bed together drove the fans wild. Stephen Moyer's Bill has been much more prominent than the book character but that doesn't mean that Eric is not going to be part of Sookie's romantic future. Who knows when the relationships will actually shift but until then, there's this scene, where you get to see the big Viking "smile and act cuddly." "Three Dog Night," when Sookie went to sleep with a dog and woke up with naked Sam. After learning her friend's secret and getting over the initial shock, it brought them closer together because they could relate in their shared weirdness. "Kablammo!," the bomb going off in the lair of the Dallas vampires.

It was a powerful and unexpectedly grim turn for the Fellowship of the Sun, who up until this point, thanks to its leadership, seemed like a bunch of soft, although impishly wicked, evangelical twits.

Luke walked away from the almost-battle in the church when Godric broke things up but he showed how strongly he felt about his cause. Plus, Eric had the opportunity to shield Sookie and trick her into drinking his blood. "Digging the Grave," when Sookie decapitated Rene with "a freakin' shovel!" She's gotten kicked around quite a lot over the two seasons but Sookie is not a helpless victim. She will fight for her loved ones and her town. Her hand giving off that energy against Maryann was just another sign of how strong Sookie is becoming. "Make Up Sex," Bill and Sookie show their passion for each other after fighting in the season two premiere, "Nothing But the Blood." Sure, there are lots of sex scenes in True Blood but IGN TV picked this one as the best because of how it re-invested viewers in the show.

It's what we all want to see when we watch an adult show about vampires.

For myself, I would have put Bill and Sookie's first time on here instead because of the moment when his fangs come out -- he thinks she won't want him anymore but she kisses him anyway, truly accepting him for the vampire that he is. But I agree that the make-up sex is hotter. "Sunspots," Godric's farewell on the hotel roof. Eric's tears and pleading with his maker showed a depth of emotion that we can only imagine, after their 1,000 years of connection. Godric's gentleness made us feel the loss of him, even though we had only seen him in a couple of episodes. A couple moments that I would add to this list: When Jason and Andy save Sam from the possessed mob by pretending to be "the god who comes." Also when Eric punishes Royce for the silver and asks Lafayette if there's blood in his hair. What are some of your favorites that aren't on here? And I don't know about all of you but the only way I'm going to get through the long months of True Blood withdrawal will be to watch these scenes repeatedly.
