Five Observations from ‘True Blood’: ‘Authority Always Wins’

Christopher Meloni showed off his extremely pointy fangs as Roman Zimojic, the Guardian of the Vampire Authority, in the latest episode of ‘True Blood’.

SPOILER ALERT: This entry contains information through the most recent episode of True Blood, “Authority Always Wins” (Season 5, Episode 2).

Another episode of True Blood is in the books, and for the second consecutive week, our favorite vampire drama didn’t disappoint.
