If Newme (ha!) is the antidote, then why did sucking her blood make her sister sick?

She was helping. She was obviously up to speed on all current vampire laws and laid out all the realistic options Bill had. Bill wanted special treatment. She gave him her price so he killed her.

Maybe Bill shouldn't have waited 120 years to update his will only when he was dying and expected special treatment when there so many other dying vampires who needed help and got there before him. And he completely hosed over all the other dying vampires she was representing.

Yeah, I really cannot follow how we're supposed to feel about Bill at this point. They add him having been in the Underground Railroad, then "You are a vulture!" *Murders lawyer and random security guard*

Wow Jason was a loving dick about all that. I never liked Violet much, up until this episode when I genuinely felt bad for her. Jason eventually decided to fess up so he earns some credit there, but still, way too late, dude.Greaseman posted:Yeah, I really cannot follow how we're supposed to feel about Bill at this point. They add him having been in the Underground Railroad, then I think the implication was supposed to be that she only asked for $10 million because she knew how much money Bill had, and that she had power over him, and so she was trying to bleed him for all he had. Pretty lovely but probably not deserving of murder - but then, that goes back to the vampires who were talking about "yeah you talk a good game now, but what kind of lines will you cross when you're about to die and desperate". So the lawyer was trying to extort/fleece a dying man for all he had, and we're supposed to dislike her for that, but we're supposed to think that Bill's starting to lose control, too.

Yeah, all those poor other vampire clients who had weeks to live. If it wasn't for Bill they could have gotten their poo poo resolved in a short six months. Bill's actions sure did have a real effect on their situation. Grr Bill! gently caress lawyer vulture, everyone is better off now. The only dumb part of the scene was that he even tried to glamour her at all. This season started off pretty bad but the recent upswing has been pretty great.

In all fairness its possible that the lawyer lady wasn't able to help Bill at all because he A) didn't have his legal poo poo in order at all, and B) has a strain that's progressing more rapidly than anyone else's (it seems like Eric has been alive for months with Hep V so theoretically someone who first contracts it would have the ability to wait a few months to let whatever legal process they need go through.) So theoretically, because she did know the legal proceedings quite well, she probably was of good help to someone who didn't have those problems. I doubt she was asking postal worker vampire for 10 million, for example.

Great, Tara's dumb off-screen death is now reduced to a plot device for Lettie-May's junkie angst, and she's even dragging Lafayette down with her. I know people have been hating on her since S1 but this can't possibly be worth it. TB really needs a big bad antagonist to focus on and keep the dumb soapy personal drama on the side because god drat this episode was painful to sit through. The AIDS allegory main plot is lame as hell and has been done way better hundreds of times since the 80s.

The only dumb part of the scene was that he even tried to glamour her at all. Secondly, the fact that she had the ability to move him to the front of the queue and get his poo poo resolved in time means that whoever is already at the front of the queue was going to have everything sorted out until he killed her. And given that it was daytime, and he killed two people in front of a room full of witnesses, how the hell did he get out of there? Why were none of those vampires waiting there pissed off about him killing their lawyer? At the very least, someone should have called the police. But it's night again when he gets home, so apparently he just spent the rest of the day in the waiting room, along with all those people who just saw him murder two people? On the other hand, I'm actually enjoying the Lettie May story now. I want to see where it's going. But I'm getting kind of bored with Pam and Eric. They're going to find Sarah but somehow but the company people will find out that she's the cure so they'll try to stop Eric from killing her, but he probably will anyway, and then they'll probably make a cure from her blood or something. Boring.

Violet is much older than Jessica right? So she should completely mangle her in a fight? Or did they just abandon the age = strength thing too? If Jessica isn't murdered by fairy blood powered Violet I'm gonna be disappointed

My first thought was that Violet is going to kill Andy's fairy daughter and somehow frame Jessica for it, since Jessica already has an awful history with Andy's girls. Jason doesn't really have any deep ties to the fairy girl and her boyfriend so it doesn't make much sense to me for Violet to simply kill fairy girl. Framing Jessica (and maybe even killing her) would certainly hurt and piss off Jason though and I suspect that's what Violet would like to do short of killing him. I'm just glad Nicole seems to be on her way out. She is so loving boring. Now if we could only get rid of Holly- she's boring as hell too. For now I'm sticking to my previously stated idea of there being some sort of Vampire afterlife or limbo... what with Lafayette and Lettie Mae's visions of Tara and all. I knew there was absolutely no way we'd seen the last of Tara already. isaboo fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jul 28, 2014 |

The Duggler posted:Violet is much older than Jessica right? So she should completely mangle her in a fight? The True Blood wiki says Violet is around 800 years old, so she should be capable of utterly destroying Jessica in a fight. But then, last season they had Tara beating an older vampire using her rad kickboxing skills, so who the gently caress knows.

I'm just curious, instead of killing the lawyer why not just transfer his liquid funds to accounts for Jessica and sign over his property before he dies? That seems like it would be faster than winding through the court system

That seems like it would be faster than winding through the court system Because that wouldn't be terribly convoluted. You might as well ask why he brought his will that was written in the 1800s when he surely has more assets now than is listed in the old will.

Shrimpy posted:I just don't understand what the payoff with the whole Tara thing is supposed to be. Jessica's/Lafayette's boyfriend is going to turn Leddie-Mae in that garden or something I bet. In reality I don't really see the point of this whole loving season. They could have killed off the vamps entirely with hep V and it could have shown very heavy handedly that humans were the real monsters all along. But now that Sarah 'Newme' Newlin is a literal walking antidote I'm not sure what is going to happen. Eric is probably going to drink her blood and be cured, the Yakuza should be kidnapping her and making antidotes or something. So after Hep V is gone the bad guy is..... Violet? Is Violet really going to be the final boss of True Blood? And why the gently caress did Sarah's sister answer the door so loving casually knowing that her sister is hiding out there? I need Ja Rule to come help me make sense of all this
