pentyne posted:Last season, gently caress it, kill everyone. I've honestly never cared for Alcide since he was introduced and all the other regulars have gotten so dumb that I can get behind this. I think Eric/Pam are the only ones I'm sort of rooting for. More so now that they're on their Sarah Newlin death mission.

CODChimera posted:This stuff with the infected vampires is wrapping up quickly. Next episode they rescue the other people and then ???? You're assuming it's going to be a quick and clean rescue. My bet is on either Sookie loving it up somehow or what's-her-face will go into labor mid-escape. She's already been having some weird pains and stuff down in the dungeon.

So then Jason's going to have a stroke as Hurricane Michelle hits land? Or maybe Hurricane Adele, depending on which way you'd like to go with it.

The Duggler posted:He was just so dreamy Yeah he's nice to look at, but Alcide's plots have always been so lovely and uninteresting even by True Blood standards that I can't say I mind them killing him off. If it means I never have to sit through more werewolf pack bullshit or his terrible conversations with Sookie then it's a good thing. As long as I get to see Sarah Newlin and her gigantic teeth die sometime before the show ends too, then this will be a great season for me.

timp posted:Witchcraft season owned imo. It was cool to see a force that the vamps actually had to fear for a change I think it's funny that they basically just completely forgot about this after that season because it seems like the witchcraft thing would be really really handy right about now. weekly font posted:So I was over a friend's house and saw this show for the first time and was intrigued. Is that not the kind of regular quality I should expect if I start this thing up? Should I even start it up? This episode was a lot more like the earlier seasons than the previous few episodes, so I think it would be worth a shot. It started off pretty strong (assuming you're looking for a campy dark comedy/drama/HBO sex show). Anyway, all I can say is thank loving god they finally killed off that vigilante gang. All that's left on my wishlist is Sarah now.

Nichael posted:If ever there was a show with more deserving characters of impromptu Poochie exoduses than True Blood, I'd be shocked. So many people on this show could literally say "I have to go now. My home planet needs me," and then drift off screen to die, and it wouldn't break the narrative at all. And I say that all as someone who likes Sam, he just hasn't had anything to add to this show for a while. Isn't this pretty much what happened with Tara and Alcide's out of nowhere sudden deaths? 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.

smg77 posted:That sounds horrible but still better than the "Sookie's magic fairy vagina turns Bill back into a human" that people were speculating about earlier. Or maybe they're going to do both just for a peak horrible ending. Turn Sookie into a vampire, Bill turns human immediately after and then Sookie either dies from her Hep V/turns back to human later because FAE BLOOD or just gets the cure. It's just circuitous and completely nonsensical enough to be true.

Junkenstein posted:That's all fine up until Pam is a hair away from being staked and Eric has to give up Sookie. There is absolutely no reason why he wouldn't do his super-speed-murder thing in that situation. On the other hand, they already kind of did this once with Eric's flashback, where he was also unable to kill a few yakuza (possibly some of the same ones?). Yeah they had the French lady hostage, but you know any other season he would have murdered his way around her somehow.

Tiggum posted:I haven't seen the American Being Human, but the original (BBC) version is more like the later True Blood, very melodramatic and taking itself too seriously. I thought it was a pretty well done show and it does have a touch of the dark comedy with the whole "supernatural beings trying to be normal" thing. There's just a few  inducing moments of melodrama, which just reminds me of season 1 TB with all its super overly dramatic Sookie-Bill moments.

Yeah I'm not trying to say it will reach Dexter finale levels of bad just that after watching that, nothing can really faze me about True Blood's ending. Although judging from some of the possible spoilers I've seen, it sounds like the writers are giving it a serious try. I can't wait to see how much of it turns out to be true.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I know I've spent multiple seasons wishing for the return of the long dead Hoyt-Jessica romance and a loving wedding special.  hepscat posted:Remember when Bill's flashbacks were about how he and Lorena would lure a bunch of 20's partygoers/flappers into their den and have a feeding frenzy bloodbath? Not until someone fakes their death and becomes a lumberjack.

Captain Mog posted:This was worse than Dexter. Dexter's finale was a middle finger to the viewers. This was the writers taking a poo poo and rubbing their fans faces all up in it. I feel like we could just call it a draw and say they're the worst finales on their respective networks since one is Showtime and the other HBO.

John Yossarian posted:I must have missed it, but how was Sookie able to read Bill's mind? There was a theory going around that Sookie's strain of Hep V was going to turn Bill human instead of killing him (because fairy blood), so that may have been a hint that this was indeed the case. I kind of hope so because it makes his end funnier.

Von_Doom posted:Lafayette, Russell Edgington, Eric, Pam, Jason and Jessica. Those were who I watched the show for. I wish they had cut 10 minutes from BEEL dying and giving it to Pam and Eric. Also more head bobbing Eric driving in a car full of dead people. This show should have gone out on a high note and with a far more relevant theme: Eric, Jason, Lafayette and his new beau's prolonged sex scene. HOW COULD YOU TRUE BLOOD???? Not knowing your loyal audience for years: That is the real crime here. Or the line (from this season I think) about how Sookie is like a skin fungus that never really goes away.

counterfeitsaint posted: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. 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.

counterfeitsaint posted: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. As dumb as the turning human thing sounded at the time, at least it would have been more interesting than what we got.

While not a great show, it at least has one of the worst series finales ever. It was bad, but really it was more boring than anything and I've seen worse finales.
