This season, every major character, including ancient vampire sheriff Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgärd) and Sookie’s womanizing brother Jason ( Ryan Kwanten), is in the throes of an identity crisis. Sookie herself will soon learn shocking details about her own formidable power. Interspecies love triangles — and love squares — intensify. And the Machiavellian games played by the vampire royals get really nasty.
“As we get deeper and deeper into the hierarchy of the vampire political system, it in some way raises some interesting questions that I think might be appropriate to our own political system,” mused Ball. “Where is the power really concentrated?”
