Love True Blood

 

 
Welcome to er Punch, the only blog post that ranks the gaudiest moments on this week's episode of True Blood.Looks like Christopher Meloni might be going from solving gruesome murders to committing them.The former "Law & Order: SVU" star, who left the NBC series last spring after 12 seasons, is in talks to join the cast of the fifth season of "True Blood," TVLine reports. And though the show has plenty of other supernatural creatures, Meloni would join marquee names such as Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard as a very powerful vampire.This would mark Meloni's big TV return; he's already made a big splash in the film world, as he is playing Colonel Hardy in the upcoming Zach Snyder-directed Superman reboot, "The Man of Steel." Meloni is in the midst of filming the comedy, "Awful Nice," and will also star in the upcoming comedy, "Dirty Movie." Meloni's TV comeback will also include a tele-film called "The Kentucky Derby.This week, however, real change visits everyone, and in at least a few cases, real death. I'm not saying I've been wanting characters to die, per se, but it's nice to see the writers commit to the end of several arcs and then suggest how the survivors are going to move on. Rather than getting stuck in the rut of "I died, but then I drank your blood/inhabited your body," we get some honest-to-god evolution.Granted, I expect at least one of these deaths to be magically reversed next season, but since so many other changes have been set it motion, I'll be fine with that. If any of these people survive, then they'll be returning to a different world.But let's get back to the episode: The finale for Marnie was pretty wonderful, right? Last week I correctly predicted that Jesus would die in order to save Lafayette, yet I wasn't disappointed by the results.
