Wow, episode 5.08 will require some rewatching to take it all in. It is without a doubt one of the best of this season, if not the best we’ve seen so far. Kudos to writer of the episode Mark Hudis for this exciting episode and congratulations to first time True Blood director Stephen Moyer for doing an excellent job.
As a first time TV director and the very first True Blood actor to direct an episode of the show, we’d like to put Steve in the spotlight. We know how much he wanted this and how hard he worked to do the best possible job.
Fan reactions flew all over Twitter. Here is a selection of what the fans said.
