“War isn’t about whether you think you can win. It’s about being willing to die for something you believe is worth dying for.”

After this speech from the new and improved brainwashed Eric, Sookie goes on to declare that she’ll be fighting the witches alongside Bill and Eric, despite their best interests to “protect” her, which they seem to try to do every episode.

“Call me crazy, but I’m willing to die if it means keeping an entire group of people I know—and love—from being eradicated in the name of hate.”

With shades of pretty well every war in history, as well as the latest ruling allowing women to fight on the frontlines, who ever said True Blood doesn’t tackle the big issues?
