Seems like eric would be the one to kidnap bill, but that seems a little too obvious. Oh well..a year to wait and speculate!
Well, we know season 3 will be Maryann free! Yay!

Possibly the Fellowship of the Sun - I'm sure we haven't heard the end of them. But Eric could still be behind that too!

Thumbs down IMO: Evan Rachel Wood

I don't think it was Eric per se ... I thought I saw bare hands on the silver rope. I'm sure someone was dispached by the Queen, maybe Sookie's cousin or that other yahtee guy. I'm not too hip on the actress playing her ... or the way she's playing her.
I so agree.
I cringed at her every word or attempt to act.
Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood), imho; SUCKS. Im wondering, did she structure her perception of the VampQueen based on Lindsay Lohan? A bone thin scratchy voice snotty be-yotch coke head? WTH? She would be better off directed to go back to the runway or the crack house, whichever is closer. As for the writers, how many times did she have to reference sex, same sex-sex, watching sex,, ,blah blah.. over & over. OK OK OK we get the point - she's a sex crazed nympho. I guess acting this part was easy for her, just be yourself. Like most of Hollywood youth.

They should have cast Lucy Lawless as the Queen

It's HBO. The don't go for ratings, just awards. And who votes on awards? Hollywood. That's the only audience they have to please.

I swear I saw black gloves on the hands. After Eric said, "I'll take care of him" to the queen, its to big of a hint. Of course, it could equally be Bills maker, or someone from the FoS.

Still all and all a good season.

Indeed, the hands were gloved. A logical person would assume that because of Eric's last proclamation during this finale, he would be the prime suspect. Then you ask yourself, why would Eric with his 2,000 years of life and immense power need to subdue Bill with silver? Tis a quandary...

I'm slightly dissapointed by the finale.

As usual, Alan Ball decided to make Bill a hero and leave Eric on the back burden. It seemed unusual that Eric took Queen's advice and didn't get involved with saving the town from Marry-Ann.

I thought it was funny how Jason thinks he saved the town and was a hero at the end.

I'm pretty sure the kidnapper is not Eric, but since I read the books I will not spoil any further.

I liked the bull scene - that was pretty cool.

I guess they are really making Eric out to be the bad guy - who else would have chained Bill and kidnapped him?

In the books, it was his maker (on the threat she would kill Sookie) and a computer project he was working on - the reason why he left.
I hope Bill is not chained up in the basement as was Lafayette. IMHO - one of the worst scenes.

Yes. When the series first came out, I read Charlaine Harris substituted the discrimination against vampires in place of gay people.
