They could probably do that in the cities with FEMA but they keep hammering the point home that these tiny parishes are ignored by everyone and have to fend for themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if they had to make do with what silver/UV guns they had before all the Hep V scare went down.

Given how many people were buying and selling anti-vampire weapons before, shouldn't that actually be quite a lot?

Tiggum posted:Pretty much everyone knows about vampire weaknesses now, right? Even in season one it wasn't exactly a big secret that silver hurt them, even if it wasn't common knowledge. Now there have been people selling anti-vampire weapons and stuff, so basically everyone knows all this poo poo, right? So why aren't there way more UV lights available? Don't want vampires setting fire to your house, set up some UV floodlights pointed outward. Barbed wire fences with silver barbs. The characters on this show haven't behaved like rational thinking humans since like season 2, so you should probably stop trying to make sense of it all because the writers sure as hell don't give a poo poo.

The opening scene did not disappoint! Thank you True Blood! I knew there was a pretty good chance that Eric got Hep V as there were some fan pictures online that showed the Hep V makeup on AS. I theorize that fairy blood cures Hep V. Did the preview for the next episode just imply that Vince shoots Sam? They need to kill this Vince guy in a horrible way ASAP. Also, I think Sookie and Bill are headed to Fangtasia.

The 'must be invited in' thing has always been really flimsy. There's a ton of ways to easily bypass it. First you can literally destroy the house with your super vampire strength like Bill did in the first episode to those drainers. Or if you control everything else I'm sure there are some bank and mortgage shenanigans you could get up to to transfer ownership of the house like Eric did in season whatever. Or you could just wait by the window/door and glamour your way in the first time someone looks outside like in season every season.

So like, why can't the HepV vamps just drink the tainted Trublood? They are already infected. Also, why can't they just manufacture new, non-infected Trublood?

Lava Lamp Goddess posted:So like, why can't the HepV vamps just drink the tainted Trublood? They are already infected. From the last season: HepV means you're dead real dang quickly once infected and its really easy to get infected. For the latter, would you trust anybody making TruBlood after what happened and the fact that probably all the people who know how to make it are now dead.

So I'm confused, phones still work but nobody from the government answers, entire cities are dead but someone is still bringing food into the town as nobody is starving this is a very selective apocalypse.

socialsecurity posted:So I'm confused, phones still work but nobody from the government answers, entire cities are dead but someone is still bringing food into the town as nobody is starving this is a very selective apocalypse. I don't think it's really an "apocalypse" though. As someone else mentioned further up, everyone knows Vamps weaknesses and anti-vampire weapons are everywhere now. I imagine someone could buy anti-vamp supplies at the local Wal-Mart at this point. The smaller towns like Bon Temps are on their own just because the Government only has so much manpower. The bigger cities, and towns with large populations of upper middle-class white people, are probably doin' just dandy. Plus, only the citizens of the Bon Temps area are dumb enough to hold vamp/human swinger parties outside in the middle of the night while feral Hep V Vampers are running amok. Most everyone else in the world would be smart enough to just stay inside at night with some UV lamps on the front porch and not answer the drat door. Also, I think Tara's mom saw an opportunity during the attack and staked her. It happened off screen so that it could be a big reveal later on in the season. I didn't buy her wanting to make amends during last seasons finale at all and the whole thing being a setup so she could find an opportunity to kill Tara is exactly the kind of bullshit she would pull.

Seldom have I disliked a character as much as Tara's mom. I know that she probably has a mental disorder of some kind in True Blood but drat. Every single bad thing that happens is somebody elses fault. Of all the characters she has not a single positive trait in my opinion, but just blames everybody and invokes God at every opportunity. As a character she really rubs me the wrong way. Really hoping we are released from her as soon as possible.

You talk about this like it's some kind of fictional personality type that the writers made up. It was really weird to see Lettie Mae act like a normal, well adjusted person for a few seasons, I guess this is them going back to their roots? Their crazy, crazy roots.

LazyDivey posted:I liked Jesus Everyone liked Jesus. From what I read from interviews about this season, infected vamps need to feed on fresh blood constantly to help stave off dying from the Hep as long as possible. But, as Betty showed us, every vamp has their limits. Plus Nora got a massive dose of the Hep which is why she died much quicker.

I assumed that was the mass grave for people who were killed but not taken in the attacks? This seems obvious enough.
