Even in the depths of World War II, the United States still held elections. Someone has to pay for election campaigns. They aren't cheap.

It's been strongly implied that it's pretty much just Bon Temps and a few nearby towns where most of these crazy things happen.

Nicole is the first truly clever TB character in that she realized this and made actual plans to get the gently caress out.

Well that's my story.

I think the world is worse off without True Blood and some infected vampires, but I don't think civilization is collapsing, except in the crazy little world of True Blood. Like, Eric was just able to get a luxury flight for uninfected vampires directly to the most hosed up area.

Maybe my memory is failing me, but I'm pretty sure the show's casual disregard for its own rules has been true since like season 2 or 3. I mean, didn't Bill solo kill the Queen of Louisiana? She was older than him.
She actually tossed him aside very easily but was taken out by vamp commandos.

She was the best and I miss her.

It's been 20 years or so at least since they revealed themselves to the world, they were selling tru-blood at the video store in the 90's flashback so you think that these sorts of things might have come up in that period.


Others mentioned this, but the three Eric and Pam flashbacks were three different times, 1986 the get "assigned" to the area, 1996 they meet Ginger while that Garbage song plays, 2006 "Pam" comes up with the idea to turn the video store into a bar now that vampires had just come out and true blood is for sale in the little cooler.

You have to remember that someone had to write Nicole, which means the writers aren't completely loving heads up their rear end about the entire thing and it's pretty obvious they're just loving around now, especially if they can remember to make one character espouse actual common sense.

That's essentially my theory. I'm thinking the fairy vagina smell just has a really ridiculous range and resilience. Like Sookie has spent her entire life in Bon Temps and the surrounding towns, and it has a subtle pheromonal effect on all the supernatural poo poo that passes through. Weirdness has been subtly building up for like 20-somthing years now, but nobody noticed until the vampires exposed themselves and really blew the lid off. Poor supernatural people like Sam have been stuck in places around Bon Temps, with no idea why why they can't bring themselves to leave the shithole.

The series ends with people figuring this out and Sookie being run out of Bon Temps.

And poor Jason, he doesn't get any of the actual useful powers but he sure seems to have a bit of fairie hotness... don't forget that, besides his various vampire lovers, his iron-forged fairy dick is so hot that at one point an entire backwoods clan of random supes kidnapped him and chain-raped him for weeks.

Wasn't he established as a fairy prince or something last season? It's tragic what happened to his penis honestly, but now I'm just thinking about his penis.

Seriously. There's nothing to it other than the name is the same, literally no other connection symbolically. As important as a coincidence. There's nothing about Dexter's finale, let alone all of the season, that works at all or is indicative of anything but that they are the most simple-minded of writers.

Nah, they haven't really concretely stated anything about him as being definitively connected to his fae ancestry, not like Sookie's telepathy. I'm fairly sure we don't need it stated outright that his crazy track record with the ladies has gotta be connected, though. I mean, he even started young and was apparently a stallion then. Since when is a teenaged virgin boy not liable to blow after two pumps? Or am I mis-remembering something, I thought that the older woman he reconnected with in one of the pointless subplots from the last few seasons was the one who took his virginity and said something positive about his skill even then.

Jason Stackhouse is just good with the ladies it is not part of his fae powers. He is the biggest fish in the small pond of Bon Temps. He is a hard working simple minded man who always makes a best effort to do what is right. His body also isn't too bad to look at. What lady in Bon Temps wouldn't want a piece of a man like that. It isn't like there is very many options in that small town.

I think I heard that in the books he actually is like a "sex fae" or some poo poo which explains why everyone always wants to have sex with him but of course the books and the show are pretty diverged by now and I'd believe either explanation.

Isn't there a scene in the 2nd or 3rd season where some guy makes an envious comment and Jason talks about how he puts a ton of work into it? Specifically working out and studying porn (like that would realistically help, but whatever).
