R.I.P. Talbot, and Other True Blood Surprises (SPOILERS)

We'll miss you, Talbot.

If you haven’t watched tonight’s True Blood, don’t read any further! Spoilers ahead!

True Blood did it again! Who saw Talbot‘s final death coming? Not me. Based on the various spoilers leading up to this week, I thought Eric was going to seduce Talbot and arrange for Russell to either see it or find out, thus exacting some measure of revenge. In hindsight, of course Eric was going to kill Russell’s beloved as payback for Russell killing Eric’s family. I’m going to miss Talbot, though. How about you?

Other shockers from tonight: Bill & Sookie reconcile (temporarily?), Tara has a Franklin nightmare, and Arlene has a Rene nightmare. That’s right, Michael Raymond-James and James Frain both got a little more screen time. Will they show up again? Here’s hoping!

Check back tomorrow for the full list of songs used in tonight’s episode as well as the hilarious post-mortem, and don’t miss our podcast discussing the episode coming out on Wednesday.
