I will jokingly say that I love every scene with Eric Northman in it and I do. For those that know me, I’m @Eric_NorthmanTB on Twitter. I love seeing Eric on screen and in the books as it allows me the opportunity to observe a character that I have grown to love. I call it research.

However, my favourite scene from True Blood is the scene where Godric meets the sun in S2x09 “I Will Rise Up”. There is so much that I love about this scene, I don’t even know where to start. I really enjoyed Godric’s character. I’m glad that they changed Godfrey from the books to Godric. While Eric has a different Maker in the books, I prefer Godric for Eric’s Maker. I’m sad that we didn’t get to keep Godric around longer as I would have loved to get to know more about the ancient vampire, but I do understand why he met the fate that he did in the show.

Throughout Season One and the beginning of Season Two, we come to know Eric as an ancient vampire who cares for nothing more than himself, the well-being of his progeny, Pam, the livelihood of his business, Fangtasia and his position of Sheriff of Area 5. He becomes intrigued by Sookie and he has extended a hand in order to protect her and save her life but at this point, I don’t think he would have cared one way or another if something happened to Sookie (if you are going by the television show).

We then learn that Eric’s Maker, Godric, had been missing for a long time without a trace and it is evident that Eric is worried. Eric speaks about Godric with passion and it gives me the idea that aside for Pam, Godric is the one vampire that Eric would do anything for-including offering up his own life.

The scene where Godric was on the rooftop with Eric in Season 2 broke my heart. I remember sitting on the couch all teary-eyed as I watched Eric, big, powerful Eric, reduced to tears and begging his Maker to change his mind. I’m glad that Sookie witnessed Eric and Godric on the rooftop. Sookie learned a lot about Eric  in that episode. She learned that Eric isn’t everything that she thought he was. She learned that Eric had feelings and I think that a part of Sookie’s heart broke for Eric that day. I also think that it was the start to what endeared Eric to her. I know that Eric appreciated that Sookie volunteered to be with Godric until the very end. Of course, Eric wanted to be the one with Godric but he was forced inside. Sookie is one of the few humans that Eric trusts and he knew that he could trust Sookie to keep to her word and stay with Godric.

I think this scene will forever be my favourite of the series. Even when I re-watch the clip, I still get teary-eyed.
