I'm nervous for this. I didn't enjoy 10&11 as much as the others. The series simply worked better when Eric was a conniving badass and trying to seduce Sookie. I don't feel like the last two had very tight plots at all. Here's hoping that 12 brings some of the excitement back. . . 
 UPDATE: liked it better than the last two. Here are some key thoughts/questions: 
 - WTF Claude? 
 - Eric, you're back to being an asshole without having the bonus of truly being loved by Sookie. She says she does, but I say naaaaaah. No trust, no love. You lose. 
 -Bill, I knew I always liked you. 
 -Sam, ditto.
