And that’s why I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of Eric Northman. For all of showrunner Brian Buckner’s insistence that this season was all about grieving and honoring characters that died, to then have someone as important as Eric snuffed out and instantly forgotten seems not just disrespectful but incongruous: Terry Bellefleur garners the longest (fictional) funeral in the history of TV yet Eric is kicked to the curb à la Steve Newlin? It doesn’t make sense. If Eric really did meet the true death in that scene, then I am officially finished with True Blood. After Eric burst into flames and the screen faded to black – the action then jumping ahead six months – there was no further mention of the character who has played a vital role on this show ever since Sookie walked into Fangtasia in Season One’s fourth episode. In a deliberately ambiguous plot twist, the Viking vampire’s only appearance in “Radioactive” found him sunbathing nude on a snow-capped mountain in Sweden just as Warlow‘s light seeped out of all the vampires who ingested his blood. Great, after all that buildup about one of the principal characters not making it through the season, I still can’t be certain if said character was Terry or Eric. ![]()
