*Apologies for the lateness, and shortness, of the review. Comic Con, plus travel days, causes things to get all higgledy piggledy and such...*
"Karma" kicked things off with blood and violence (as a diminished Eric took on the remaining Yakuza thugs) and ended with a few menacing moments, but in between there was a lot of waiting. And I mean literal waiting. The characters were waiting. It was built into the show.
Tonally, the series also shifted a bit with Bill's Hep V discovery as he was planted in a crowded vampire waiting room complete with cheesy muzak flowing through the office speakers. It was part AIDS epidemic parable/part Beetlejuice waiting room. And so with the story came a very notable switch in focus, emphasized too by Sookie's own trip to the doctor to get herself tested. True Blood was getting back to its roots a teensy bit with by showing this "plague of others" and demonstrating the prejudice and callousness of the bureaucracy in place to deal with the outbreak.
