Sidenote on Lafayette,[Jesus]

 

I was studying the screencap of when we first see the demon he becomes (I tried to post it but it wouldn't show up). I then looked up a list of demons and tried to find one that had a similar physical resemblance. The two that I found are demons called Beelzebub and Belphegor. Both of these demons are princes of Hell and are noted for manipulating and tricking people. It is for this reason that I don't think Jesus is a good guy, and may very well be tied into all this Billshit.

Thank you for doing this! [I'm scared to look up demons] This is very interesting indeed. I am becoming more sure by the day that Jesus set Marnie up on Bill's behalf.

@Chris–I think it can be looked at both ways. I can see this as being another nod to the bullet sucking scene, particularly since both bullets hit the exact same spot. On the surface, by having Eric pull the bullet out it looks like confirmation he HAD been lying to Sookie about the bullets needing to be sucked out in Dallas. Until it's spelled out the real answer, that Eric has become immune to the silver, won't hit home for the general audience. If Eric is immune then Bill certainly is as well, which has implications as to how he managed to avoid succumbing to M/A's meet the sun spell and why she can't or won't  control HIM.

On the other hand, notice how Eric went in a bullet straight trajectory right at Bill. Unlike the others he didn't hurt another living soul. Now think of this: Eric could have killed Bill in less than miliseconds by ripping his head clean off. His orders were to 'kill the king, slaves'. Instead, Eric toyed with Bill, showing him who's boss and giving Bill a fighting chance by defiantly inviting him to give it his best shot.   Sookie doesn't know it yet but Eric showed us he WAS fighting the spell by drawing out the 'kill'. He is VERY strong–look how Sookie's double strength electricity only knocked him back a little where a single hit sends everyone else flying,  in some cases several dozen yards. Now, if Eric can fly faster than a speeding bullet  then he can move his chest to avoid a wooden bullet. I believe the whole point of this exercise was to kill the spellbound patsy.

This whole thing was a long con, complete with patsy and puppet master pulling his strings; the public setting, the many cameras, the props, and extras. Bill cast himself in the role of JFK–the heroic young president gunned down in his prime–only HE, King William Compton, escaped the dastardly plot and smited the grungy loner himself. The big hero. . Only, Eric didn't play along.

GET THIS: Bill thought it was safe to rip off Eric's head. WHY? As far as Bill knew, be-spelled Eric's only orders were to kill HIM. WHY DID BILL THINK ERIC WOULD JUST KNEEL THERE WAITING FOR HIS OWN DEATH at the hands of a vampire he could kill in less than miliseconds? What did Bill think would stop Eric from fighting back? Bill had to have believed that Eric was being controlled to cooperate in his own death. Ergo, the whole thing was staged by Bill, pre-arranged with whatever entity is controlling Marnie AND Antonia. They're only USING Antonia because she is a great necromancer who can control the dead like puppets. They are using her abilities to commit genocide and murder Bill's enemies or whoever else stands in his way to ever more power.

In this narrative, we can experience both visual and auditory narrative deception. The fog is particularly thick at night when Bill holds more sway, but the good thing is Eric is SO strong we had several cracks in the wall of lies, including Bill's uncustomary public display of blood lust to kill the witch–his co-conspirator again– at ANY COST, and the clearly addicted Sookie still in delusional love with her sadistic abuser.

IATM, Bill is beyond a DOUBT immune to silver. I proved it in my piece 'Smoking Mirrors'. The silver didn't injure his skin the way it did Jessica's as they were waiting for M/A's meet the sun spell. So it's very, very likely that Eric is also immune by now. However, Eric was not immune in Dallas because he'd never had a drop of Sookie's blood at that time.

Thanks Chris.

Silver tipped wooden bullets actually make the most sense. If the shooter misses the heart the bullets have still incapacitated the vamp so he CAN be staked. That's the whole point of silver bullets–they're SUPPOSED to incapacitate vampires. Otherwise they're useless, but we know they're NOT useless against vamps who are not immune to silver.
