Of course, this is necessary to stop Bill swooping in, saving his amour and ending it easily, but it's also playful of Alan Ball to make the real horrors human and mundane, at least in comparison with the shapeshifters and bloodsuckers and whatever Maryann is doing with her creepy vibrations.Īnd it's all over by the 30-minute mark. The chase and the final battle with the madman all take place in the daytime, in bright, blinding, saturated light. The slow build of tension – we have to wait for everyone else to catch up with the knowledge that our Cajun cad is in fact a very bad psychopath – suddenly explodes when Rene offers to watch over Sookie in her house, at which point the horror movie conventions are out in force. It's incredible how Rene has gone from lovely chap-about-town to menacing uber-creep in the space of one incriminating fax, but this is a show that had us (me) believing that Sam was a villain because he liked to sniff sheets.
