Did Bill Die in True Blood's Season 5 Finale?

The cast warned us that the True Blood Season 5 finale was going to be a crazy cliffhanger, but we never expected it to be that explosive.

In the final moments, we saw Bill turn his back on Eric and Sookie, chug Lilith’s blood, and then explode into a pile of goo! For a few seconds, it seemed like Bill was dead, but then he rose from the pool of blood beneath him — much like another vampire we saw a lot of this season.

That’s right, Truebies. As blood-covered Bill rose and bared his fangs, he looked a lot like Lilith — only he covered his private parts. Could he be the new vampire God? Is Lilith gone forever? Unfortunately, we have to wait a grueling nine months until we find out, but we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Is Bill dead, or is he God now? Weigh in below, and feel free to share any of your theories in the comments!
