The posts in this blog are comprised mainly of my speculations, musings, and analysis about what has happened and what will happen in True Blood, the HBO TV show and other thoughts about various characters and plotlines in the show.

Involvement With a Maniac - Correlations for Eric and Jason

JASON: Jason was engaged by a maniac [Steve Newlin] to help support a secret and dangerous agenda. Jason came to see the truth of the agenda and extricated himself in the nick of time to avoid being viewed as a traitor to another very powerful faction [vampires] who would have the power to kill him at a later date.

ERIC: Eric is being engaged by a maniac [Queen Sophie Ann] to help support a secret and dangerous agenda [selling V]. He will come to see the truth of the agenda and extricates himself in the nick of time to avoid being viewed as a traitor to another very powerful faction [probably vampires, but leaving this open] who would have the power to kill him at a later date.

Eddie’s Death – Godric’s Death – Correlations for Eric and Jason

In S1, Jason witnessed a gentle person die a needless and horrifying death precipitated by the aggressions of a self-important woman. He was unable to prevent the death although he tried. He was very grieved at the loss. The woman was later murdered by someone who hated what he believed she represented. [Rene murdered Amy because he hated what she represented to him.]

In S2, Eric witnessed the death of a gentle person precipitated by the aggressions of a self-important woman. He was very grieved at the loss. What will happen next? I speculate that Nan will be murdered in S3 at the hands of Steve Newlin, who hates her for what she represents just like Amy was murdered by Rene.

Now, it's possible that the mirror image here [Eric's enactment] will be everything the same but indirect, looser so to speak. Hence, Godric died as an Innocent but not at the direct hand of the aggressive woman. Therefore, it could be that Nan would be murdered not at Steve's direct hand but at his direction or the independent actions of his followers, but he would need to be considered influential on their actions, even if only by ideology he espouses.

Rescue of Something Precious – Correlation of Jason and Eric’s paths, Symbolism

Borrowed the term “Precious” from Lord of the Rings, but it’s not a ring here. It’s something of great value to the holder.

JASON [happened in S2; Jason’s Precious is Sookie] - Something of great value to Jason is taken and is being held by someone evil (Steve Newlin) who is in league with an unwitting but somewhat cowtowed (to the evil one) and complicit short-term lover (Sarah) of Jason’s. Jason becomes a crucial member of the team in rescuing his Precious. During the course of rescuing his Precious, he becomes like a different man, finding a new inner core. After a short while, circumstances return to normal and Jason returns to the previous life he missed so much, only to find he cannot approach it with his previous zeal. He is haunted by previous events. He sees people who, logically-speaking, should be dead given their wounds, and yet they’re animated. [the college coeds in whose heads he see bullet holes]

Sarah fell in love with Jason, but felt jilted and scorned when he left her behind to save his own skin from a serious threat. She felt bitterness towards Jason. She is in league with the person who takes Jason’s Precious but is mostly just along for the ride in this scenario.

ERIC [yet to happen; Eric’s Precious is his memory, command of his Area, and his super-fierce persona] - Something of great value to Eric is taken and is being held by someone evil (Hallow character) who is in league with an unwitting but somewhat cowtowed (to the evil one) and complicit short-term lover (Yvette). Eric becomes a crucial member of the team in rescuing his Precious. During the course of rescuing his Precious, he becomes like a different man, finding a new inner core. After a short while, circumstances return to normal and Eric returns to the previous life he missed so much, only to find he cannot approach it with his previous zeal. He is haunted by previous events. He sees people who, logically-speaking, should be dead given their wounds, and yet they’re animated. [vampires, but somehow, he notices more acutely now that they’re dead people walking]

Yvette falls in love with Eric, but feels jilted and scorned when he leavs her behind to save his own skin from a serious threat. She feels bitterness towards Eric. She is in league with the person who takes Eric’s Precious but is mostly just along for the ride in this scenario.
