Sam always had potential they just shackled him with the world plotlines ever, his family was awful and annoying.

So I have a few thoughts about the possible (probable now) ending that was spoilered earlier. If the whole 'Sookies magical Hep V infected fairy blood' does end up turning Bill back into a human, wouldn't the True Blood yakuza want to get their hands on her? I mean surely there are other vampires out in the world who would like to be human again. It's not like Bill drained her dry or drank multiple times. So wouldn't the yakuza want to either control the source or eliminate it? Are they just going to write it off that it only cured Bill because of love? The whole thing just seems poorly thought out, which I guess isn't surprising for this show.

TMMadman posted:So I have a few thoughts about the possible (probable now) ending that was spoilered earlier. My guess: Next episode, the exact scenario you outlined will happen. In one scene in the preview, Bill looked cured of Hep-V and he & Eric were discussing SOOKEH and it seemed like they were planning on saving her from something. Hoyt and Jess will get back together, Jason & Bridgette will hook up and find out they're perfect for one another, Pam will be pissed. As for the endgame, I'll bet Eric (maybe Pam too) becomes some kind of vampire hero or politician of somesort for his actions in distributing the cure to vampires worldwide against the wishes of the Yakuza. That's all I got!

Apoplexy posted:Dude, did Sam even appear in the last episode? I don't remember any scene with him. God, this show. From main character for 6 seasons to dead, from main character for 6 seasons to loving 1 scene an episode related to a lovely will he/won't he decision to leave town. God. And SOMEHOW Dexter remains worse. At least with True Blood it just goes over the top enough that it's at least memorable.

I won't argue that they're not severely mishandling him (and others) this season (and previous ones too) but that was one of the best and craziest moments in the entire show.

Sober posted:There was almost nothing redeeming about Dexter in its final seasons. Dexter was never as silly and campy as True Blood is. Dexter tried to be a serious show. So when the show just kept getting dumber it only made the show worse. True Blood has never taken itself that seriously, so when it does dumb poo poo like giving Sam nothing to do because he can't transform int a t-rex, it's just whatever cause it's True Blood.

Plus Willa's pretty much disappeared from the show and Nicole is looking like she'll be vanishing soon, if we haven't seen her last on-camera scene already. thathonkey posted:I'm only on season 2 or so of Dexter but the voice over dialogue is so loving cornball I don't see how anyone could ever take that show seriously... especially when they try and insert humor. Season 2 was one of the better seasons if that gives you any perspective (not best necessarily, but still). Towards the latter seasons it just got incredibly stupid until it culminated in the dumbest ending imaginable, but you could tell the writers were still thinking "Hell yeah, this is genius. Drama at its finest."  I think they even said as much in interviews.Not to say that True Blood is the best show ever, but it's always had a certain self-awareness and sense of humor to it.

If the final words in Dexter were "Tonight is the night" then the entire last season could have been redeemed. But it weren't. IT WEREN'T! half an hour til true blood.

I can't believe they are still going on with this whole 'it's safe' thing. edit - Also Sam did just up and leave and nobody noticed despite it being the middle of the day with a truck full of boxes.
