What the fuck happened when Northman exploded at the end of season 6? I was expecting them to go into more detail about how he escaped the sun in season 7. But, the only explanation given was he caused an avalanche and had to flee. Maybe I'm retarded and missed something. However, he did burst into flames out in the middle of nowhere. Was there another explanation as to how he escaped? To me, it feels like a major series plot hole.

i can't answer your question because i have one of my own...im somehwere in the middle season and thinking about coming back is this show even worth watching?

He didn't explode, he caught fire. Eric may be old, but he wasn't as old as his maker who incinerated immediately upon touching the sun. Also, he had fairy blood, so it was transitioning burn.

He caused an avalanche, destroying a town in the process. Pam dug him out. That's the only explanation they gave.
All he would've had to do is dive into the snow to hide or to yell and trigger an avalanche, if you remember, Eric had a pretty wicked viking battle cry.

I stopped watching after season 4 and recently decided picking it back up. To be honest, the series goes really downhill after season 3. It loses a lot of its mystery elements and charm. I think it's okay to watch if you got nothing else, but you have to pretty much lower your expectations.

Really, I just hate what they did with Bill's character after season 3. Granted, most of the characters turn to shit as the show expects us to keep rooting for the vampires who show no remorse and are never held accountable for numerous murders...murders that are often spontaneous or unnecessary. For example, Bill kills a woman in an office after she tries to extort him, then walks out like nothing happened. The humans never come after him, either, despite doing it in front of a bunch of witnesses. He also stakes a few vampires out of anger on numerous occasions, yet the other vampires don't give a shit.

This type of stuff happens all the time after season 3 and you're like "Uhhh....this is going to cause problems for these characters later, right? RIGHT? I mean....Bill had to turn Jessica after staking a vampire in self-defense."

Season six is probably the best season after the first three. It brought back some of the mystery elements to the show and consequences for many characters. Consequences that made conflicts in the show, making it more enjoyable to watch. Then it goes back to vampires being invincible in the eyes of the law (both human and vampire).



That's kind of what I thought happened. It just didn't register with me because of what happens to Russel Edgington. A 3,000-year-old vampire who drinks the blood of a half-faerie nearly burns to death in the sun after only a few seconds. Then a 1,000-year-old vampire drinks the blood of another half-faerie, wanders outside for a few days, the effect wears off, then he's basically fine after it happens. Most of the time, when we see vampires exposed to the sun, they have trouble moving. It seemed odd that Eric would be able to bury himself in the snow or find cover, especially given how snow reflects the sun.

I wouldn't say nearly for edgington, he got crispy like eric did and like bill did. If you remember, bill was able to walk halfway to sookie in the blazing sun when she was being attacked by renee. It seems only the really ancient ones are the ones that go up in an instant.

Also, eric drank a full blooded faerie the first time and lasted hours, edgington only drank a little from a half blooded faerie when he went up, the second time for eric he drank from a faerie vampire hybrid and that lasted even longer than the previous ones, would've lasted indefinitely, but warlow was killed.
