    Just a question. Isnt this based off a book? So how can we knock the producers? Unless they are deviating from the original story.

    Eric is fast, but not that fast . Not fast enough to grab a bottle of blood from bill from across the room. bill already had the bottle up to his mouth. not to mention that bill has been on a steady diet of human blood. while eric was out flying with his sister. russell was the only one fast enough to do that people are over estimating the power levels of the characters.
    You really believe that bruh? How did you come to this conclusion?

    My conclusion came from eric being like 7x older than bill. Also he's been handling bill every time they got into it. He whooped bills ass several times right after he finished feeding and when he wasn't feeding.

    Eric is fast but not that fast, yes eric can beat bill in a fight but eric is not the flash you are over estimating his power level and quite frankly eric wanted to pull bill back from the darkside not ? him. If Age was the end all be all of power then bill never would have survived any of the fights that he has had with older vamps and eric never would have been able to stake russell. vamps are fast but not as fast as people are making them out to be.

    It took Bill what? A couple seconds to drink all the blood. Eric can probably run half a mile in that time, so I'm sure he wouldn't a problem crossing the room.

    HE IS NOT THAT FAST.

    Its been deviated from heavily.

    Okay Lillith was talking to all of them, telling them they all are the chosen one. But then Bill drinks it and now he's Lillith? So Lillith is real and not made up? Who the ? is Lillith cause we still don't really know.

    How you figure? We've seen vampires cross a room and ? people before they had time to react. Hell, in that very episode we saw Eric take out a room full of vampires before any of them could do anything. A room full of VAMPIRES. After seeing that, you're telling me he wasn't fast enough to run across the room and knock the blood out of Bill's hand. lol That doesn't even make sense.

    I was wondering this too. At first I thought she was just some kind of hallucination. Now I think she might be a real "Devil" like figure, that was looking for a proxy. Based on what Salome said, I'm guessing Lilith showed herself to all of them to see who would have what it took to be her top dog.

    to me Eric is definitely fast enough. While Bill was talking to sookie Eric should have hit the speed burst button

    Eric staked him..he just caught Russel off guad. Russel was too enamored by the fairies to notice Eric coming at him

    sure he is..like others have said. Eric just killed a room filled with vampires before any of them could react..let's just say Eric didn't take the vial from Bill because it would've prevented the progression of the storyline.

    Age is the end all be all. If you're referring to him killing Salome and the authority member, i mean you have to take in consideration he poisoned Salome and killed the other guy while he was jackin' off to Lillith's blood..that's not realy saying much for Bill. Eric staked Russell because Russell was too focused on the abundance of fairies he just came across.

    Eric had help from his sister and he got the jump on the guards by surprise. i have all seen all the episodes of this show, the only vampire who could have grabbed the bottle from bill without killing him was russel if eric was that fast the first fight bill had on this show with eric would have lasted 2 seconds. ERIC was in the doorway bill was across the room and sookie was inbetween them. from i have seen eric is not fast enough to get to bill in time.

    or lets say eric just was not fast enough nor was it his intention to fight bill which is what he would of had to do to get the bottle away from bill. all eric wanted to do was bring bill back from his maddness.

    Eric could have easily grabbed that bottle, True BLood always has vamps do stupid ? to further the storyline though.

    Tell me im not the only one who was waitin for Bill to smack Sookie's simple ass when she stepped up to him. Cant stand that dumb ? .

    Salome ol jewy sexy ass coulda got it one last time.

    You serious? We not talking about what his sister helped do. They literally showed Eric take out like 6 guards singlehandedly in a matter of a couple of seconds. It doesn't matter that he caught them by surprise. The fact is he was able to take out multiple vampires in one go without any of them noticing. If he was fast enough to do that, he was fast enough to move across the room and knock the vial out of Bill's hand.

    You said you've watched every episode. If that's the case I don't see how you can downplay Vampire speed so much. Pretty much any vampire could have traveled that distance in a fraction of a second. That means pretty much any vampire would have had a chance of stopping him while he was distracted by Sookie. Eric is stronger and faster than most vampires, so he definitely would have been able to do it.

    the reason Eric didn't run up on Bill is because they needed a cliff hanger for next season... that is all.

    I wouldn't be suprised if some how he reassembled himself because of all the fairy energy he consumed and came back next season. LOL.

    That would be the ? . My little brother thought the elder fairy set russel up. He thinks she felt eric coming and distracted russel long enough until he got there. I think it was just fairy magic and russel thought he bit her. She couldn't have got clapped that fast lol.

    Naw she got clapped that fast...remember Vampires almost put Fairies into extinction thats why they have to hide. If it were a younger vamp like say Bill, Pam or Jessica...then she probably could have killed them with her powers since she was an elder fairy. But ancient vamps like Russell and maybe even Eric since he's over 1000 yrs old, would be to fast & strong for her.

    As for Eric knocking the vial out of Bill hands...It's not like we all knew what the blood would do to Bill. Eric just wanted to talk him out of the crazy ish he's been on. Everybody been dipping in that blood all season, so I think Eric could have fought Bill for it if he wanted to, I just don't think Eric gave that much of a ? . It was Bill's decision to make if he truly wanted to drink it all...But once Eric saw what happened after that swig I bet he wished he had did more to stop him from drinking it.

    Yeah I agree that he probably didn't care that much to just knock it out of his hand. I think Eric mostly wanted to get back to the Authority once he realized Pam was captured. He just added Bill into the rescue mission as a way to get Sookie & Jason to help. I think he knew Bill was all the way gone off that Lillith blood but cared enough at least to bring Sookie to try and talk him out of it. I think he felt like he owed him that much to do that but he wasn't finna go all out and force him to come with them....he gave him a choice.

    after watching the Russel death scene again:

    I think they filmed it that way on purpose... they showed the "fairy light", they showed Eric with a stake to Russ's chest but they didnt show the actual stab like they did in most other vamp death scenes..kinda leads me to believe they got some type of swerve coming.

    Wonder what happens to rev Newlin?

    Wonder what type of strength and or powers "Bilith" will have?

    Will be interesting to see what happens with Andy's fairy babies?
