Review by CFH, 2010-05-23
This is the fifth episode in the HBO adaptation of the popular Sookie Stackhouse vampire novels (the first episode is Strange Love, see my review there for the content description).
We get to see more of Bill's past as he gives a talk about his Civil War (or "War for Southern Independence" as the characters call it) experiences as he was a Confederate soldier. Since he was a "local", he also knows about the history of several ancestors of current town residences. The use of flashbacks was well done and helped give more insight into Bill's past.
This series is not for everyone and definitely not for younger viewers!
