Bill. They are married in RL.

Get to the CHOPPA!!!

[HaemishM]

I must admit, the finale was good. Better than most of the season has been. Probably because there were actually a lot of funny moments, something that has been sorely lacking most of the season. And none of them came from Russell.

[Tebonas]

Wow, that was some inspired usage of a Shapeshifting ability by Sam.

I am still completely amazed how silly the special effects are this season though. I almost threw the remote at the TV with the "flying throught the hire throwing stakes" bit.


Overall I enjoyed th season. The lows were the lowest part of the series, but the highs were quite fun.

[Abagadro]

The show reached just the level of bugfuck crazy to be satisfying to watch after two glasses of wine (which is all I ask of it, and the occasional bewbs).

[kaid]

Wow, that was some inspired usage of a Shapeshifting ability by Sam.

Yup sam was finally getting his shifter face ON and doing cool stuff a shape shifter should do!

[Bunk]

I really enjoyed the finale - they wrapped up a lot more than I thought they could in an hour.

I have to say though, it really drives me nuts that none of these vampires, not even paramilitary guard ones, wear a damn piece of Kevlar. Wooden fricken bullets - you could probably wear a heavy winter jacket and be safe from having a wooden bullet pierce your heart.

Thoughts on the finale and the season overall:

1) I don't know how they did it but I actually kind of enjoyed Tara as the season wore on. I almost cheered when she killed the Sheriff. I'm thinking it is that the finally got her character out of the whiny rut she has been in since she was introduced. That and Pam.
2) I thought the scene with Hoyt, Jessica and Jason was, by far, the most moving scene they've ever done on this show. I also like how it affected Jason though it looks like they may be throwing that out of the window in favor of crazy, hallucinating Jason.
3) I hope Nina sticks on the show. She's hot and fun to watch especially now that she's no longer a crazy Vampire fundamentalist.
4) I like how they finally did something interesting with Sam's shift powers.
5) Despite the fact that the finale turned the entire season  into one long setup for next season I liked it. It felt earned. In previous seasons what happened would have just been a sudden whiplash in the last half of the last episode. This time they spent several episodes slowly setting things up.

It's enough to make me wonder if they have new writers or if the existing writers got a stern talking to.

ARISE MY PSEUDO-GODLIKE VAMPIRES!

Soo, season 6 is up and running.  I still don't know what to make of it - whether its really good, or in the middle of shark jumping.

We have god-Billith, we have Sookie dumping all her vamper mates and trying to get all faerie like, we have Tara starting to become a likeable character and getting shot for her troubles, Pam is moving from a really fun character to annoyingly pining after Eric, the writers appear to be having a contest to see how stupid they can make Jason, and Rutger Hauer has turned up to (to steal someone elses line) channel Christopher Walken all over the place.

I still can't work out whether this is enjoyable mindless fun, or shark jumping...

[Tebonas]

I can't decide either. The action seems to be ramping up good this season but people are still so goddamn stupid, especially the brainless wonders that are the Stackhouse kids. I would really be surprised if that isn't an evil fairy plant for example.

Also, I get tired of the "poor widdly Vampires just want to be left alone" shtick. After what they did last season multiple times on live TV you can't create a villain by giving them curfew. On the contrary I commend the humans that there isn't already a full-scale genocide going on against Vampires. This is where the gay metaphor breaks down. The Vampires are not persecuted, they are as a majority remorseless killers when not properly fed. And those Vampire rights idiots that want to out all Supernaturals are akin to militant Peta activists that ask to be eaten by a tiger when they free him of his oppressive cage.

But I'm sure the Governor will do something over the top evil so that we can not emphasize with his viewpoint anymore.

[Velorath]

First season under the new showrunner. I'm willing to see where he's going to take this. Of course that's mostly because Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad aren't going right now, so I don't have much else to watch right now.

[HaemishM]

I started watching the first episode and just stopped. I found I no longer gave a shit after last season.

[MediumHigh]

There isn't enough good television to justify not watching this 

[Rasix]

It's fucking terrible.  I'll still watch it because it's fairly entertaining, and there's not a whole lot right now that I watch with my wife.

[EWSpider]

I watch it because my wife still likes it and because boobs.  At this point my favorite character is Andy Bellefleur.  If the show finale doesn't involve Andy single-handedly saving the world in some way than I shall declare the entire show a failure.

[satael]

Rutger Hauer is in this now so I have a reason to watch it (I think he is a good actor who just happens to have alot of less than stellar roles)

[Abagadro]

Just have Jessica run around in that outfit all season and I will be fine with it.

[Signe]

[kaid]

Ya I mean seriously she has let so many vamps suck on her blood giving them some of her blood so they can make tru blood fey edition seems like a no brainer. It is kinda funny while i like tru blood I have pretty much always hated sookie. If there is a smart choice to be made she always picks the dumb choice each and every single time.

[MediumHigh]

I think they wrote Sookie character perfectly in that scene. She has gone through 8 seasons of crazy shit, mostly caused by trying to help or defend vampires. If your crazy ex boyfriend who violates 9 out of the 10 rules of vampires, comes barging through your door asking you to be used as a lab rat in order remove the only weakness all vampires have no matter how strong they are? Yeah fuck that with the statue of liberty.

I liked this episode. Not a lot, but it had its moments. Laffete respecting Sam was great. Werewolves attacking the hispters was awesome. The bitch hispter getting away was terrible... jason was terrible, king fairy crap was terrible, eric was passable, sookie was actually good, bill and jessica was passable.

[Rasix]

I just don't want to see any crap with the werewolves ever again.  I know I will be disappointed in this.

[Signe]

I just don't want to see any crap with the werewolves ever again.  I know I will be disappointed in this.

Well, except for that one great big werewolf who is awesome looking.  They could just make a spin-off show with him kind of just standing around for an hour and I'd watch.

[HaemishM]

He's the only reason the werewolves have ever been interesting.

+1 for man-crush. 

[MediumHigh]

Werewolves would be more interesting if one vampire couldn just rofl rape them.

[Lakov_Sanite]

Werewolves would be more interesting if one vampire couldn just rofl rape them.

I never got that, the paradigm should always be a werewolf beats a vampire in a straight up fight.  Otherwise what's the point of being a werewolf, you're still mortal and if you are hard as shit to kill then you're basically just a human without the ability to use useful weapons.

[MahrinSkel]

Yeah, nerf Vampires!

--Dave

[Slayerik]

Werewolf should lose one on one, but in a pack fuck a vamper up.

[EWSpider]

The werewolves annoy me because of the cheap special effects.  I wouldn't exactly be fearing for my life if some dude turned into a Husky and charged me.  Sure I might get a minor bite or something, but ultimately I'm going to win that fight.  I guess we're supposed to assume they're super strong huskies.  Not very scary regardless.

[Signe]

I kind of like them because they're not so scary.  I just want to hug them and scratch their tummies and take them for a walk.  Really.  And if they turn back when the other sort of nature calls... so much the better.  I won't have to carry bags with me!

[EWSpider]

"Laser hands off!" - Andy Bellefleur

Yep, still my favorite character.
