I haven't watched this show since season 5 and have no desire to do so but the thread after every episode is the greatest thing ever. Thanks for the entertainment, True Blood thread.

Bill died, Eric and Pam were fabulous. A+ It wasn't great, the series had it's issues, but if you're writing off the major amounts of awesome you got over the past seven years because they spent too much time on Jessica's happiness and Bill (who is dead. DEAD! DEAD!!!!!!!!!!  ) in the final episode then I don't know what to say.

Once again Eric and Pam keeping the head of an otherwise drowning show up above water. That was um, a show that I'm not watching anymore I guess. I think they leaked the Bill human thing on purpose. I was actually surprised when he popped because I assumed long ago he'd become human.Lava Lamp Goddess posted:Well, that was just as dumb as I wanted it to be! Oh, I'm sure it wasn't the first time

That season felt like a bunch of really bad fanfic. Pseudo-zombie apocalypse, Arlene loving a vampire, Letty Mae's vision quest, Hoyt/Jessica getting married, Eric/Pam vs. the Yakuza, Ginger's backstory, all the random sex dreams; all of it seemed like a bunch of unrelated fanfic that got made into one season. Who the gently caress thought these were stories that should be told?

It's weird because there was the mind reading thing and then early in the episode Jessica mentions that Bill feels warm, so it seems like they were seriously hinting at it and then just said "gently caress it" I guess.

That's what I mean. Because of the leak, when these things started happening I was like, yep, there is a 100% chance of this happening now. Which is the only reason why it was surprising.

Yeah, I'm really liking the idea that Bill was turning human and he killed himself before that happened. It's just dumb enough to be true.

Who the gently caress thought these were stories that should be told? I thought the Hoyt/Jessica thing (comparatively anyway, of course) made a reasonable amount of sense if only because the way they wrote off Hoyt always felt like the kind of thing that was temporary, and Jason/Jessica just felt unbelievably awkward to me. I should say them getting back together made a reasonable amount of sense; the wedding was hamfisted as gently caress. The rest of this post is 100% accurate though. Christ, what a dropoff this show had. The part that's hilarious to me about Bill just eating it was that it felt like the writers set up half a dozen swerves and didn't follow through on any of them, which to me felt like them deliberately pissing off the majority of the fanbase (i.e. the TRUE WUV PREVAILS) people as much as possible, yet it still managed to piss me off too by the end even though I give no fucks about Bill dying really. It's amazing.

It was alright, but it really dragged in the middle. Eric and Pam and Sarah Newlin saved it. Figured an actual big bad would've helped. Ah well. Wasn't utter poo poo, but not amazing either.

Sorry it was utter poo poo. While I was expecting that much from the series finale, they proved they been saving some awful writing that would even shock me. While not a great show, it at least has one of the worst series finales ever.

Honestly I think it could have been a lot worse. I didn't completely hate it. I also thought that by killing Bill they hosed up his chances of turning human. Too bad that wasn't confirmed and a grief-stricken Sookie didn't off herself.  I kept waiting for the husband to turn out to be Bill and was glad it wasn't. That would have been worse. Oh well. It wasn't great but my expectations a were so low that I found it to be tolerable. They should have had one if Jason's daughters be a telepath for the blah blah blah of it all. Did anyone see what time Pam rang the bell at the stock exchange? Place better have been "light tight" or whatever. I dunno. I may rewatch the series at some point to see the fun that was the first 5 seasons. And if people are right about Alan Ball having left after the S5 finale, I may need to watch everything he does because the first 5 were FANTASTIC. How I wish we would have gotten a lot more deeper into Russel's 3000 years. He so deserved at least one full episode devoted to him as a series of flashbacks every 200-300 years. Missed opportunity. I'm going to be generous and say 6/10. Yes I know I'm being generous.

Only one I can think of is possibly Dexter, and in all fairness I gave up on Weeds so I don't know how bad that was. This from the channel that had what I consider the greatest series finale, Six Feet Under, is embarrassing.

Then in 2012 or whatever my work schedule became a bit more relaxed and I decided to hate watch that train wreck. It got SO MUCH WORSE. It turned into a sick loving joke. Their finale was based in the future you see. It was horrifying but due to how absurd the last 4(?) seasons or whatever were you expected nothing good. Only cool part of the Weeds finale I can remember was the design of the future cellphone. They seemed kinda cool. But goddamn if Mary Louise Parker isn't the hottest older broad in recent memory. And goddamn did she love to play it up. nooneofconsequence posted:The Roseanne finale was pretty bad. Now this is just plain wrong. That finale redeemed the complete shark jumping dull of a last season into something very clever for a network tv sitcom. It made me appreciate the show big time.

It would've been and I wonder if they did film that ending, especially with the little hints that it was going that way, but changed last minute because it was leaked and wanted the ending to be a "surprise". Which is stupid because the supposed leaked ending was better and they shouldve done reshoots if it wasn't planned that way anyways. At least the show's over and some of it was good. Some.

Usually on the last episodes of shows I feel some sort of lose on what am I going to turn to now type of thing or at least some kind of closure you know. Now with this over I don't even care beyond that it all could of been so much better. Also requesting a gif of Eric dancing.

Even if Sookie was a dumbass danger whore, at least her life was interesting. And Weeds had a tough final few seasons (with the exception of season 6, which was oddly good), but its finale was better than this. I think the only way this could have been worse is if they all decided to become lumberjacks... Actually, that would have made it better.

She was in the TV scene with Pam and Eric. She was behind the TVs/cameras or whatever. It was a blink and you'll miss it. Only reason why I noticed was because of her dumb old lady hair.

Also, it can't be pointed out enough that a show that is supposed to be a gay right's allegory (albeit, an atrocious one), completely sidelined its most prominent gay character in its last season, to the point of giving him zero dialogue in the finale. Where the gently caress was Lafayette? Why was this all so bad?

He tried to come out of the dumpster, but his love could not be recognized by the state of Louisiana so they had to put him back in.
