Rene ("Drew Marshall") is one of the work buddies Jason confided in along with momma's boy, Hoyt. I think it would be too easy for it to be Rene considering all of the evidence that suggests it him - we're almost certainly headed for a swerve. I'm going with Hoyt as the killer.
Someone over at AVS posted that they remember a scene, earlier in the season with Sam and the dog, where he said said something to the dog and then referred to it as "brother".
Well we now have official confirmation that Sam is the dog.
We're down to the last 3 episodes of Season One and things keep getting better and better each week. I'm really glad I stuck with the series - I was ready to give up after the 2nd episode. I feel really bad for poor Eddie.
You might be onto something. I vaguely remember that they were outside, in front of the house (not on the porch, either) when Sookie asked Bill to leave a few weeks ago.
Finally this show appears to be hitting it's stride. I am so glad I decided at the last minute to watch tonight's episode instead of giving up. It was what a lot of us had been waiting for. The preview for next week looks great, too.
