Eric is my new Spike.

2.09 "I Will Rise Up"

I really just need to point out how completely and utterly amazing this week's True Blood was. So many good bits. Jason's thumbs up to Sookie after the explosion and his admittance that people in Bon Temps only like him for his "sex abilities" were brilliant. Sookie was rocking some of her best hair ever. Hoyt and Jessica continue to be cuter, more endearing, more well adjusted and mature than anyone else on the show...and probably real life. Lafayette kicking some Eggs ass was definitely pleasing.

But most importantly Eric was all kinds of awesome! The bit at the beginning where he pretended to be injured so that Sookie would drink some of his blood while trying to save him and then shrugging off her anger when she realized what had happened was funny. Constantly jumping to Godric's defense and leaning in so close while talking to him that their foreheads were almost touching was cute. Weeping when he realized Godric was planning to meet the sun and wouldn't let Eric join him was sad and moving. And of course naked Eric co-starring in Sookie's sex dream was amazingly hot. Basically all I could ever need in a show.

I'm not sure why I made this a True Blood post. I really just wanted to talk about the fact that I'm now completely obsessed with Alexander Skarsgard. I'm already watching Swedish TV shows on youtube, for god's sake. Damn, I wish I knew Swedish. I wonder how long I'll resist the urge to Netflix Generation Kill.

I've already gone back to watch him in Zoolander. That's right, Zoolander:
