So 'Epic' is my word, possibly to the point of using it too much and most definitely not correctly but I love it, i love what it means, how it sounds, how it can just encompass so much in one little word.
Eric is epic, Godric, Damon, Dean (the only real person I consider Epic), Chuck Bass is epic. Klaus, Darien/Tuxedo Mask, Captain Shang.
However, of all these characters (and one actual person) Godric is the epicest, or more importantly, the real life person who plays him Allan Hyde, is epic. He was 20 going on 2,000 when he played the ancient Godric.
Alexander Skarsgård does old and epic as Eric Northman quiete well, Joseph Morgan does Klaus amazingly too but no on can do epic like Allan Hyde as Godric.
I dont know if it's because he's half Danish-half English and I flat out love all things European, in particular English, so it's automatic or if it's because he's just...epic. Maybe it's because he was only 20 playing the oldest vampire I've ever seen (which is saying something considering how many vampire shows/movies I've seen) whereas Joseph Morgan and Alexander Skarsgård (Klaus and Eric respectively, both c. 1000 years old) were both at least 10 years older than Allan Hyde was which is an extra 10 years life experience let alone acting experience.
Maybe it was because he was in contrast to Alexander Skarsgård who is 6ft10 when Allan Hyde is 5ft6 (practically my height) and Eric drop to his knees in front of Godric and there's just this humongous man, the most ruthless and oldest vampire we've seen yet on True Blood on his knees before this kid, because Godric seriously looks like a boy (and he is meant to be just 16) and you can just feel that this guy is formidable but chooses not to use his power (anymore) for evil.

It just astounds me that Allan Hyde can come onto this show and outdo everyone, outdo everything, ever.
