That doesn't really mean it still isn't really hypocritical. And also kind of selfish to rush the marriage thing along just to get some dying wish.

This show was really great if you were Sookie Stackhouse. No matter what, you had somebody pining for you, dating you, or loving you throughout.

And also had blood that was delicious and irresistible to vampires, which is really really dangerous but you know is probably a little bit of an ego boost deep down. Come to think of it I think the only major straight male characters that didn't fall for Sookie at some point were Andy, Terry and Jason (thank loving god). Oh and Hoyt I guess but he was too busy with his ~*~soulmate~*~ Jessica.

This would have been the best finale ever if the whole thing was just a series of "and a year after that..." short scenes like the last 5 minutes were. Edit: With the last one being somehow making the whole cast lumberjacks. limeincoke fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Aug 25, 2014 |

I saw it once but didn't see anyone answer, who was the dude sookie was with at the end? Thought that was just kind of thrown at you at the last second with no explanation. Also, with people saying Bill was turning human because he was warm, doesn't hep-v make vampires heat up before they explode? Isn't that what happened to Erics sister and also Sarah Newlins sister put some frozen peas on her chest (because she was hot I suppose). Or are all you saying that hep-v kind of starts to make you human but it sucks so it just kills you, and sookie version is just a little better because fairy.

Tiggum posted:He could have just told Sookie "After I die, I think you should use that thing that makes you not be a fairy any more, because being a fairy is what has made your life so chaotic." and then just killed himself by exposing himself to sunlight. There was never any reason to have Sookie kill him, whether she used her fairy powers or not. This was my problem with the show, and it's ending - nothing made any sense. "Darling, I love you so much, I want you to be happy by helping me die! No, I don't mean taking care of my affairs after I meet the sun, I want you to literally stake me in a grave because I love you so much and I want you to have this traumatic experience so that you can remember me forever! Really honey, I love you so much but basically I want to ruin raspberry jam for you forever."

She wandered into a church and spent 10 minutes discussing free will and God. What the gently caress, man. When this show first came out it was like backlash against Twilight's mawkish sparkling vampires. The last season was a straight-up telenovela. I just can't fathom why it all went so tepid.

Nora said she felt like she was hot, but nobody else really commented on her body temperature so it could have been a fever or could have just been some weird neuropathy-type thing. I think the main reason it stood out with Bill was the fact that Sookie could suddenly read his mind and they made a big thing about him feeling human. Which I realize was metaphorical, but also kind of felt like hamfisted foreshadowing. And yeah, dude at the end was never explicitly identified it's just implied he's Sookie's husband or baby daddy or whatever.

Even up to the (long drawn out bitter end), I still thought Bill was suspect with how adamant he was Sookie use her fairy light to kill him. It didn't come across as a loving act out of concern for her, but more final stage of his master plan to get rid of her fairy light. Just bad all around. Basically, this finale sucked. Sucked hard. And this is coming from someone who defended this show and was fully committed to the off the rails crazy and loved the insane world of Bon Temps.

The President of HBO has to be a Joyt shipper because there's really no other reasonable explanation why 1) Hoyt's character needed closure. 2) Hoyt felt the need to be with Jessica, as if it were destiny. 3) Anyone, let alone Jessica and Hoyt, would approve of the marriage. Was Hoyt ever unglamoured? Is he still oblivious? I fast-forwarded past any scene that didn't have Eric in it. Also, I was digging through youtube looking for a clip of Russell talking to Jar Talbot and saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9Bb62y70Jc&t=29s Sometimes you forget that Sookie is an interesting character when she's not hanging around Bill.

I was in the tank for this show right up until this loving episode. That's how comparatively bad it was. I am in the tank for a lot of TV shows too -- I even liked the HIMYM finale. But this was too much, and too terrible.

So I got really loving bored with the finale as soon as the wedding started but it's playing in the background while my wife watches it. This is loving boring as poo poo.

This is pretty much how I felt about it. Once we got to the church scene I got up and started doing other things while sort of half-watching/listening until it got to Bill's big splash. There's an article that keeps popping up in my Facebook feed with the headline "'True Blood' offers poignant, wacky finale" and every time I see it I wonder what episode did those people actually watch?

I can't believe they KILLED ALCIDE at the beginning of the season when they could have just omitted their relationship during the time skip, NOT killed him, and saved him for Sookie's happy ending. UUUGGGGHHHH so mad about my trashy HBO soap opera

They could have shown the Fangtasia stuff just to give her an ending and then stopped when Pam kicked out that vampire dude. On the other hand, it gave us a little more Steve.

I think the wedding, besides being a huge loving waste, was suppose to be their attempt at once more covering the whole gay rights allegory aspect of this show. They tossed in some pretty over the top comment about how "The state of Louisiana won't recognize this marriage, but in my eyes blah blah blah" I can't even care to remember anymore. gently caress this show.

The reason the gay rights allegory in this show completely failed is the VAMPIRES ARE loving EVIL. Eric is a pretty big hypocrite judging Sarah for being a murderer when he's killed countless numbers of humans and vampires. Sarah was right to fight back. Shame she didn't win.

Why is "Viking god" billionaire and his progeny still working a bumblefuck dive shithole that assuredly smells of urine? Why did Mr. antebellum southern gent make Sookie coat herself in his gore when they could have done something cheesy but fitting like snuggling to the sunrise and poof. None of that really matter because worst of all, this season was boring as hell. All the writers had to do was kill off lovely characters and do crazy stuff like blood orgies (which doubles as an excuse to show naked super hot people) or whatever. There is so much latitude for a show like True Blood: be silly, tasteless, nonsensical, fantastical etc. but not loving boring.
