If you mean they didn't have a 400 year old angry ghost helping them out, then no. I'm pretty sure the angry ghost is necessary for witchcraft to expand beyond the "handing hands and chanting" level, or at least a medium, and Lala is too fabulous for that now. Speaking of which, I'm glad they're bringing back lots of stuff from the early part of the show, but Lala Classic is the best part. If the show ends with a threesome between Lafayette, Jessica, and hippy vampire boyfriend, I will consider True Blood to be a success.

The flashbacks from this episode are all I am going to pretend has happened this season. The "New: Laserdisc" type signs etc were hilarious

I'm dumb and have a lovely memory so someone please help me out here- Is Russell Edgington dead or just buried in concrete? What about Niall the fairy godfather? I'd love to see Rutger Hauer again before it's all over. Does anyone else get the feeling that we may ultimately find out that there's no real 'True Death' and that there's a vamp afterlife? Didn't Godrick appear to Bill way back, or was that just a hallucination or something? And given the song at the end of this episode and the episode's title, 'Death Is Not The End', as well as how crazy True Blood is anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if we find that there's an afterlife for all. I didn't pay too much attention to the Lilith/Billith poo poo so I don't know if that was addressed in any way. Edit: Wait, did someone kill Russell last season? drat I'm dumb.

I'd love to see Rutger Hauer again before it's all over. He's off in another dimension, AFAIK. The last time we saw him was when he jumped out of a portal in Sookie's bathroom to help Jason stake Warlow. I believe he's confirmed for an appearance in one of the upcoming episodes but I could be wrong. quote:Does anyone else get the feeling that we may ultimately find out that there's no real 'True Death' and that there's a vamp afterlife? Didn't Godrick appear to Bill way back, or was that just a hallucination or something? I think an afterlife is probably inconsequential to the show's overall plot, like in the sense that the writers send ghosts out to people whenever they feel they're needed. What I want to know is what the hell happened to Lillith. I was thinking she was going to be the show's Big Bad or something but she legit just vanished off the face of the Earth after possessing Bill for like two weeks and driving him to save a room full of vampires. She might've been a far more interesting foe than the stupid Hep-V vamps. I would also have liked to seen the show incorporate more demon-like creatures and enemies than just boring vampires but hey, I'm not a TB writer. If I was, the humans would've just bombed Fangtasia during the day

Captain Mog posted:Staked by Eric in the S5 finale when he tried to eat the fairy club. Okay, thanks. Really all I care about is seeing Pam and Lafayette survive; everyone else can just go right ahead and die. I doubt both of them will though and I'm not sure who I would prefer to live. Pam is just such an awesome bitch and Lafayette is, well, Lafayette. Oh, I'd like to see Jason make it as well just so he can continue loving whoever he wants. It'd also be great to see Eric live but at this point I think curing him of the virus would be a bit too much even for True Blood. We didn't get to see nearly enough of Godrick though, and that's one of my biggest gripes. Edit: I'm sure I was not hearing the dialogue correctly but I could swear that the Magister called Pam "MISTER De Beaufort" during the flashback sequence and for a moment I had thoughts of Pam being a transsexual vamp. That would be awesome.

So how come vampires don't get "the bleeds" anymore if they're awake during the day? Bill, Jessica and her boyfriend were all fine this episode.

Bill was having the bleeds, you could see a small stream coming out of his ears as he talked to Jessica right before Sookie showed up. I'm not sure why Jess and her boyfriend weren't, but Bill definitely was.

That scene and the adjacent scene with Eric and Pam on the jet were very oddly overlit. In previous seasons you had stuff like the like the vampire hotel, where they had blacked out windows and the interior lighting was pretty limited. EricAir Flight 666 and Casa de Bill seemed downright cozy.

So considering all the hints that keep getting dropped about this Japanese corporation that worked with the Authority to invent True Blood which we never heard about until this season, what's the odds of seeing them pop up in the next couple of episodes?

Yeah the Japanese manufacturer of Tru Blood is hardly new. They invented the synthetic blood back in the day and now they're pissed that an affiliate made Hep-V tainted product.

Since it was just an affiliate in America who did it, wouldn't that mean that vampires all over the world should be alright, it's mostly just american ones who are hosed? they made it sound like it was a worldwide thing

Not only has the Japanese company that invented and manufactures True Blood been mentioned several times on the show, but at one point someone talked about how a (vampirized, obivously) Louis Pasteur works there and was involved in it's development. The Yakuza relationship is new however.
