'True Blood' WTF: Eric Crying Is The Worst Crying

Just so you know it was Comic-Con-related illness, not mourning over Terry Bellefleur, that had me skipping this True Blood list last week. I'm also blaming my fever for the tears I shed over poor Terry. I'm fully onboard with the show's plan to trim the storyline fat, but is assassination the only answer? How about just fading gracefully into the background from whence they came? Anyway, I almost made every single WTF moment from this episode another image of Eric crying, but I restrained myself. Here are the top five:

1. Sobbing Eric. Yes, we saw him break down when Godric met the sun, but watching Eric weep with Nora's goo in his arms was downright devastating. I'm kind of afraid this is going to unhinge the Viking for good. Which is weird, considering we never heard of Nora before last season.

Yeah, I seem to be complaining a lot, but I do like the pacing of this episode. Looks like everything is coming to a WTF-tastic conclusion in a few weeks, and I'm very (deliciously) worried about the upcoming death toll. Bring it on!
