Darn you, HBO!

Following another pulse-pounding episode of True Blood, the network will make fans wait two weeks until the third season finale airs on September 12.

Such a break at least gives us more time to analyze the most recent episode, which was titled "Fresh Blood" and Sam's drunken behavior; Arlene's attempt to lose her pregnancy; and... sunlight.

Return Monday morning for a detailed review and weigh in on the installment now.
