    I like how worried the others are cos they know if he wanted to he could tear them to shreds despite their numbers, and despite that Salome and Erics combined age is equal to his and despite the fact that there are 4 other vampires.
    It is really demonstrated well in this scene that they all know they're alive for nothing other than the fact that Russell allows it.

Maybe the 1st 500 years vampires don't gain much power. Maybe after 1000 years the power jumps dramatically. And after 3000 years the power grows at a shocking rate.. Only Russell Knows.. I've also never seen him lie really.. Why would he need to? He tosses Salome across the room with ease and shes 2nd oldest in the room..

He did commit suicide after all. I think Russel was immensely powerful. They always made it a point for him to dominate every vampire in the show. When he turns on the authority in this scene they all could've rushed him to kill him but nobody made a move. That says alot. Hes more powerful then all of them combined.

    Russell should at least have his own tv prequel series, with different story arcs of his origins and his shadow-war against humanity up to his encounter with Eric, it could then branch off into a series focusing on Godric and Eric and perhaps then Eric and Pam. The possibilities are endless. I mean the show is only worthwhile for the breakout characters; they are constantly killing them anyway, like The Magister, an excellent character killed way too soon. Sookie and Bill bring the show down.

That's what made Russell the best vampire in True Blood.
    Also, Warlow was such a fecking disappointment: thousands of years older than Russell yet, even after all that time, his sole purpose is just the same of Eric and Bill: Sookie-please-love-me-to-redeem-myself-and-let-me-pound-that-fairy-pussy-of-yours-that-goes-wild-for-vampire-"fangs"!

That is why he was caught off guard. But I found out that even he is no the strongest Vampire. In the books, there is a female Greek Vampire who was so old, she came across Odysseus.

      Yeah, sure. Nothing crazy at all about a guy who wants to subjugate the entire world (mankind AND the supernatural), make everyone into slaves/food and proudly proclaims that killing "makes my dick hard!" Hitler's ambitions were probably "logical" from his perspective too; Russell even outright agrees with Hitler about there being a master race.
      The dude was a psychotic megalomaniac. No need to dress that up just because he's cool and entertaining.

    I think fans of vampires always want to see a mysterious vampire millennial in age.. I know I do. I think every-1 wants to know the source.. The oldest vampire in existence and more importantly who turned that vampire..
