Everyone seems to think it was Eric and yes the gloves totally gives me the impression it was another vampire, but I agree its way too obvious to be Eric after his conversation with the Queen.
Does this mean next season we won't see much of Bill Compton?
What a terrible finale and terrible final 5-7 episodes. The finale didn't sink to the levels that the previous episode did, but overall it was just horrible.
Jason's character is so terrible. I know he's supposed to play the dumb red neck, but screwing up phrases like that over and over is just such weak dialogue.
Thankfully Maryanne has been eliminated and won't have to be on the show anymore. If the writers bring in another lame super-natural character that creates 14 lame storylines, I'll be done with the show. Concentrate on developing the better characters - ie. Lafayette, Eric, Jessica, etc... Sookie, Bill, Tara, Sam, etc... have taken their terrible characters to their limits. Relegate them to supporting roles for awhile. In fact, go ahead and eliminate Sookie - the most lame, unbelieveable character in the series. Considering that the series involves shape-shifters, vampires and other mystical creatures, that's saying something.
/end rant
re Eric as the gloved kidnapper of Bill. I think the fact that Bill did not hear/react to someone else in the room would suggest that the person was a vampire and able to move quickly, or whatever. Perhaps it's not Eric, but it is as simple as another vampire doing Eric's bidding? Eric is the sheriff after all.
The face that someone was strong enough to take Bill, means it wasn't a human that took him.
Could it be his maker? The Vampire Queen herself?
Remember when Jason and that chick kidnapped that other vampire to steal his blood in season 1? It would suggest that the use of silver would allow a human to control a vampire... ?
The maker angle is interesting. Maybe she's in bed with Eric to get him back (she won't kill him, but will take him as a prisoner away from Sookie allowing Eric to save face with the Queen and have Sookie to himself).

Anyone could have taken Bill. The gloves indicate that it could be a vampire. Allthough a vampire such as Eric wouldn't need silver to over power Bill. Could be fang bangers working on behalf of Eric or the Queen.
I just finished the 9th book (most recent) in the series True Blood is based on and I highly recommend them. Pretty easy reading but I could not put them down. I am really excited to see how they convert to TV.
Just finished watching the first 3 episodes of Season 3. Working in media has its benefits. You get to be put on mailing lists for different tv stations and plenty of other stuff. I'm on HBO Canada's list and they sent me a 3 episode screener.
So far, so good. I really enjoyed it.
To those who liked Season 1 but were turned off by Season 2 like myself, don't give up on the show. There's no more weird Maryanne storyline dominating the show. There's no more long drawn out orgies going on. I really disliked Season 2. It was just too messed up. I know that's a hard thing to say seeing as how its a show about vampires, but in the world of True Blood, the crap in Season 2 was a bit much.
The first episode of Season 3 is great and kinda sets the tone for what we will see throughout. Werewolves look pretty cool so far but I fear people are going to start comparing Twilight to True Blood and that would just drive me nuts. There's a cool storyline involving Bill early in the season. Look out for a few laughs when he's dining with some uber rich and important vampires. Eric still kicks ass and Jason is being back to his stupid self, which is all good in my books.
So like I said, if you didn't like Season 2 and were going to stop watching, do yourself a favor and tune into the premiere on June 13th, you won't be disappointed. Now I'm just upset that I have to wait more than a month to see a new episode.
Also, if you haven't seen the finale of Season 2 recently and don't really remember, try to find a way to watch it. Be it on DVD(comes out tomorrow) or On Demand. There were a couple things I totally forgot about.
True Blood kicks ass again!!

Just a reminder True Blood fans, Season 3 gets going this Sunday. And to re-iterate my above post, if you liked Season 1, but didn't like Season 2, don't give up on the show. Season 3 starts off great!

Especially since the book True Blood is based on was written in May 2003 and Twilight was published in 2005. When I first saw the trailer for Twilight I was so pissed because that is exactly how the True Blood author portrays Werewolves.

Just watched episode 1 - no spoilers here, just felt like saying although it was certainly better than anything in Season 2, it was still rather blah. As I said before, they need to FOCUS instead of trying to tell 5 different stories at the same time. Maybe some characters need to be killed off...
