True Blood: best episode climax

True Blood (what with it being cable-access television from HBO) is all about the sex.  Passionate, violent, weird, abusive, nameless, deadly, or compulsive... it's all about the sex.  Every once in a while, though, they throw a curveball that is altogether different.  Tonight's episode was all about psychopaths and politics.  You always suspected that combination would work well together, didn't you?

The closing minutes of this episode (season 3, episode 9, "Everything Is Broken") were suspenseful enough to be a season cliffhanger.  But we have 3 more episodes to anticipate!

WARNING: violent imagery ahead

I leave you with the words of Russell Edgington, meant for the American Vampire League (AVL):

( Cut for spoilers and graphic, bloody images... )

I'm impatient to see how this bombshell gets resolved.

Russell's story is well made for this fictional universe, and Denis O'Hare plays well the many moods of this character.
