True Blood: 20 Defining Moments

14. Sookie Drinks Eric's Blood, Season 2, Episode 9 While this scene may have not seemed significant at the time, it marked the start of a string of Eric-Sookie sex dreams and sexual tension. It also had every Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) fan fist-pumping. After a member of the Fellowship of the Sun detonated a silver-lined bomb in Godric's house, Eric seemed to be fatally wounded with a bunch of silver pieces lodged into his chest. But once he requested of Sookie the ridiculous task of sucking the silver pieces out of his chest, it was obvious that this was a trick to get Sookie to drink his blood. The scene was actually quite hilarious, given that it took place in the midst of amputated limbs and dead vampire muck. In the same episode, Sookie's new blood connection finally provided what many fans had been longing to see: Eric and Sookie naked, in bed together. Granted it was only a dream, but it was the first of many sexually charged moments between the Viking vampire and the mind-reading waitress.

13. Godric's Death, Season 2, Episode 9

The majority of the Fellowship of the Sun plot in season 2 happened because of Eric's search for his kidnapped maker and the sheriff of Dallas, Godric (Allan Hyde). We were first introduced to Godric through flashback when he turned Eric into a vampire over 1,000 years ago. Godric's demeanor was mischievous and vicious, not unlike his progeny. When we were finally introduced to him in present day, it was clear that this demeanor had changed. Godric saved Sookie from being raped at the Fellowship headquarters. It was then revealed that he unwittingly offered himself up to the hate group to meet the sun. His decision caused a media fiasco which resulted in that bitch Nan Flanagan forcing him to resign as sheriff. Godric ultimately made the final decision to willingly meet the sun, much to the disdain of Eric. The entire scene on the hotel rooftop is quite an emotional moment and a rarity on "True Blood." Eric's tears, Sookie and Godric's final conversation and Godric finally making peace with himself all made for one of the most memorable moments on the show. The way Godric lit up in flames was a bit cheesy, but Nathan Barr's score totally made up for it.
