True Blood is a very complex show where good and evil are often mingled and mirrored and flipped on their heads. People who start out being heroes end up having hearts of darkness like Rene and Maryanne and some, like Sam and Andy, start out looking like heroes and get lost along the way but come through in the end. And then there's Jason, for whom we have few expectations but who rose to the occasion and did the right thing... only to fall from grace again when he killed Eggs. The vampires, on the other hand, have many nuanced ...
