How long ago did he drink his blood? They did the 6 month time skip and the other vampire blood sex dreams usually stop after a couple of months or less. Either there are some continuity errors or Jason needs to have a serious chat with his Mrs.

Same here @Consuela - there were a few good laugh out loud moments this episode...Also you've got to admit the following line alone made the episode a win. I legitimately laughed.
must say i had to watch the opening segment twice... and text a photo of it to my bestie! #jeric

I dunno SES, I've stopped caring about that sort of details in TB about 3 seasons ago. There's too much continuity that the writers have failed to remain faithful to that I've also stopped giving a damn as well.
Inu, did you really have to post a gif of that scene?

What's that you say? You want more GIFs? If you insist.

You'd think that after 7 years of watching TB and other HBO shows I'd be accustomed to same sex scenes, yet they still get to me every time.
That'll teach me from making comments about it, I'll try to keep quite from now on.

Continuity matters
. If they want to put a gay sex scene on TV, fine. But give me a plausible reason. I have the same thing with Game of Thrones. Pod/whores scenes instead of Charles Dance? Bullshit!

Geting no arguments from SES. Continuity matters to me as well if the show is half way decent which TB has ceased being a looong time ago hence my indifference to any specific details for the last 3 seasons. All I remember for certainty is that Jason has previously fed on Eric, when and why it happened I really don't care anymore.Continuity matters

I don't like it
So, I started season 1 about 8 weeks ago and I'm now up to date.
I LOVE the whole thang! That Jason/Eric scene at the start of the last episode was wonderful! Such gorgeous men! Oh, to be the filling in that sandwich!
It is a silly, silly show and I don't really understand why y'all are getting hot under the collar about unbelievable story lines. It's about vampires, fairies, shape-shifters and were-wolves, people! If you want gritty reality don't watch television.
I am a bit perplexed, though, about one gaping hole in the plot in season 6 that seems to have gone under the radar. Or I might have been drunk when I watched it. How did Eric get on to the fairy plain and drain Warlow? Wouldn't he have had to be taken there by a fairy? What did I miss?

I don't think everyone's issue with the last few seasons was the supernatural stuff. It was the decline in quality of story lines. I thought the religious/authority/Bill god story line was weak and not nearly as good as the early seasons. Much like Dexter. Not the supernatural stuff. Just the decline in quality.
I think it was something about him drinking Adeline's blood, somehow allowed him to enter the fairy realm. Another weak story element, I felt. I thought using fairy "light" was how you got in. But Eric had her blood and that let him in, I think.
Been toying with whether I should pick this up from where I left it which I think was sometime in season 3 (C4 stopped showing it here from S4, but I can't remember if I got all the way to the end of S3) , but from the reviews here not sure if it's worth investing 50 hours or so in catching the rest. If nothing else though it still has one of the best theme tunes on TV!

It's got nothing to do with the supernatural themes or else TB would never have taken off in popularity in the first place.
Jam, haven't you noticed a huge drop off in the show in terms of the writing and plot lines? It is beyond putrid nowadays, there's little effort on the part of the writers to come up with anything co-herent or remotely entertaining.

Season 4 and 5 are okay-ish I guess so it is completely up to you whether it's worth it or not.
Season 6 is undoubtedly straight up garbage though and Season 7 seems to be following along the same lines.
Don't say you weren't warned.

I guess when the story lines are so full of the supernatural it's hard to keep them from becoming laughable. I thought they were hilariously ridiculous from Season 1! One of the biggest things that I have noticed that shows a decline in the series is that the humour stopped in season 6. There used to be some cracker lines. Also, Sookie is becoming even more unbearably precious than she was in the earlier series.
For all that, though, I'm still enjoying it, but that's possibly because of the momentum caused by watching them all so quickly. The current series is clearly not as good the earlier ones. But there's always Eric.

With anything supernatural you have to suspend belief a little bit but the biggest difference between the later seasons and the first 3 is how consistent/faithful the writers remained to the rules of the world of fiction they had created (okay borrowed from another author's books).I guess when the story lines are so full of the supernatural it's hard to keep them from becoming laughable.

That level of care to detail has been throw out the window in recent years unfortunately, with the writers becoming lazy and complacent. According to many (myself included) the quality (subjective entertainment value) of the storylines has declined dramatically as well, which are currently barely distinguishable from Z grade tv rubbish.
I used to look forward to Monday nights and watching the latest TB episode in the middle of the year but that has long ceased to be the case.

Better than last week, something actually happened and Bill was involved.
Its sort of weird that they are shoehorning some French love/Eric depression/True Blood company storyline in when it has never been mentioned before.
It was weird that they would kill Tara off-screen, creating doubt, only for Pam to blurt it out at the start of episode 3 that it really happened. It felt sort of clumsy and ham-handed. I was the same with Terry, but I can't say I have ever cared about Tara.
Oh, I just remembered Alcide, you meant Alicide, right? He died the way he lived, naked.

It was trying to not be a spoiler. But it seems it across the internet anyway. He knew how to please a woman
