10 Biggest WTF True Blood Moments

After Bill Compton became King of Louisiana, he underwent a bit of a personality change. After being one of the good guys and main love interests over the first few seasons, he became more power-hungry and bloodthirsty.

This culminated with him joining forces with the Authority and, at the end of season 5, drinking the blood of vampire god Lilith. Somewhat unsurprisingly, this caused him to explode, before rising again out of the pool of blood as ‘Billith’, still Bill Compton but now with the powers of the vamp-deity, standing there bloody, naked, and all-powerful.

While the character had been changing anyway, this marked a huge turning point, as he became increasingly unstable and convinced of his status as a god among vampires, having many visions of actually seeing Lilith and believing he was doing what she intended. True Blood was already pretty crazy, and the introduction of vampire religion and Lilith/Billith somehow managed to take it up another level.
