Season 5 of ‘True Blood‘ has made a believer out of us, as Russell Edgington has launched his campaign to overturn mainstreamers (with Bill's help!), and Lilith has seemingly risen to guide the new Vampire Authority, as we saw in last week’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.” So before ‘True Blood’ gushes out its ninth episode “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” this Sunday, August 5, how would you like an early taste?

With Sookie hot on the trail of her parents' killers, and Bill aligning himself with Russell and the  Vampire Authority under the godly Lilith, ‘True Blood’ season five is headed toward the home stretch with a bloody trail of corpses in its wake. But with Eric the only one not under Lilith’s thrall while Sookie communes with the past, how are we supposed to deal with the wait until Sunday’s “Everybody Wants to Rule the World?” With new clips, of course!

The first look at Sunday’s all-new episode “Everybody Wants to Rule the World" below has Eric calling out Bill for his assistance toward the Vampire Authority's plan to end the mainstreaming movement, and drop his recent religious fervor act.  Except...what if it isn't an act?  Will Eric have to show Bill the true death before the season is out?

Finally, the second clip from Sunday's episode sees Sookie piecing together evidence from the past to determine the identity of her parents' killer, with more than a few faces from the past coming in to assist her!  Who is this mysterious "Warlow," and why is he so intent on ending the Stackhouses?

Watch the clips below, be sure to catch ‘True Blood’ season 5′s ninth episode “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” this Sunday on HBO, and let us know what you think in the comments!
