Religious imagery has always been a little heavy handed on True Blood, but this moment with Steve Newlin was just beautifully staged.

“The overnight bonding session between Peggy and Dawn, who sleeps at Peggy’s apartment because the riots have made her afraid to travel home to Harlem late at night, casts the black/white social divide into sharp relief. The moment where Peggy instantly seems to understand why Dawn is scared, then realizes that she actually doesn’t have a clue, is one of the show’s best historically-conscious bits of screenwriting; it’s attuned to 1966 specifics without being too on-the-nose (though it comes perilously close at times). The button at the end of that subplot — Peggy considering taking her purse out of the living room for fear that Dawn will steal from her, then being mortified by her own impulses and deciding to leave it there — is a sharp example of how even the most ostentatiously liberal white folks can harbor racist attitudes.” (via)
