Agreed. Laughed myself sick.

Full frontal erection (no latex).

Pacing might have been a script problem, but in my book it was the most interestingly directed episode of the season.

Agree completely - I disagree with others here who praised the editing in this episode. It was way too much back and forth to gain real suspense and tension in what otherwise could have been a really great sequence (hunting in the hospital.)

Thanks for posting this, good to know - wish they had stuck with the book's approach, it seems simpler. Apparently it didn't give Alan Ball enough meat to explore his interest in vampire religion.

Only three fast-forward moments, and none of them involved Dad in a tender moment with Son - they were all son in a tender moment with girlfriend! Way to shake it up this episode!

He doesn't, but geez, talk about "signaling"!

It's a little depressing when you hit the point in the episode where you realize the theme that will occupy the episode, and they take no steps to surprise you. Didn't we all know she would leave a note on the chair? Didn't we know Ben would shoot into the harness-slosh-tank? I'm all for eliminating the sappy family
