Wow.
What a season! Every episode this season was action packed and full of WTF?! The finale was a little weak but it was still good. Some people thought this season was over the top and fell victim to sensationalism. It’s a show about vampires; it’s supposed to be weird and ridiculous.
There were many great moments this season but Russell Edgington spine-ripping vampire manifesto on live TV was one of the best. True Blood also probably showed the most disturbing sex scene ever seen on TV to date with Bill breaking his ex-lovers neck and turning her head around during sex. We were also introduced to three new supernatural beings: werewolves, were-panthers and fae. Let’s not forget the new characters: Debbie, Cooter, Franklin, Crystal; who are all a special breed of crazy. I’d have to say the introduction of Alcide was the most… um… successful. Contain yourself ladies.
So many characters had so many pivotal things happen to them. We learn that Russell Edgington killed Eric’s family and that Eric has been waiting for over 100 years for revenge. He did so by having sex with Russell’s partner then staking him. Russell had been on a mission all season to seize more power. He gave vampire blood to werewolves to make them crazed and addicted slaves. Bill Compton, isn’t the honorable, romantic vampire that we thought he was. He was sent by the Queen to get information on Sookie because she suspected she was a fairy. Bill kept this secret so he can keep Sookie and her blood all to himself. Bastard. Eric was hot the whole season. I’m not sure if he spoke or not. Maybe he did and I just couldn’t hear him over my panting. Lafayette found Jesus and they became lovers. Both have magic in their past and chemistry in their future. Rawr! Jason is to become a caretaker for a village full of were-panthers. It’s a case of the dumb leading the dumberer. Sam Merlotte lost it this season. His trailer-park family pushed him over the edge. I think we ended it with him putting lead in his little brothers shape-shifting bum. Then there’s Tara. Tara, Tara, Tara… I’ve never wished a character dead before but her whiny, victim schtick wore me down this season. They either need to make Tara badass or kill her off because she’s useless and her hair is hideous.
Because it was packed full of action, sex and revelations, this season seemed short. You better believe I’m already counting the days until next season.
