Ha! I'm over-speculating right there with you! I was thinking about vampire bloodlines as well, and how the show has recently put more stress on the importance. Eric's whole speech to Pam seemed significant, that she was his only progeny and needed to preserve the line, or something like that. It seems strange to me that it was Eric (and not Bill) who got the moral wake-up call. Usually, Eric looks after Eric, and if it turns out to be the right thing to do, fine....whereas Bill seems much more motivated by doing what's right. So maybe it was Eric's bloodline that came through? We can be sure Bill's maker Lorena had nothing to offer Bill in that department...so maybe that's why Bill was still chomping down while Eric was having his little visitation with Godric?
Okay, okay, I'm done with the over-speculating (for now).
