It's not very good. I know, quelle surprise. Tara's dead though! Or is she? Who cares.

It's dreadful but I will watch it until the end for who knows what reason. They are killing off all sorts of folks so that is a plus.

I guess it's last season so they're just taking the piss. I wonder if they'll kill everyone off for a giggle. I'll watch til the end, too, for the ham and corn.

This is as bad as the show has ever been. At least people are dying.

It's bad, but the show has been a lot worse. In any previous season the plotline with the infected vamps in Fangtasia would have been dragged out another 4 episodes. |

The backstory of Ginger and Fangtasia was pretty good.

Only 3 more episodes. WE CAN DO IT.
Bill will probably die and miraculously impregnate Sookie, so all will be well despite being a huge downer.

THREE? I'm not convinced I'll last even though I want to. It really was dreadful last night.

I haven't been watching this season, but hearing that Tara is one of the characters that's managed to survive thus far makes me really angry.

She got staked in episode one, but she's still around as a V induced hallucination. YUP.

Wait, they killed her and then kept her on anyway? They hate me.

That's why I stopped watching a season or two ago. They killed her off (and_there_was_much_rejoicing.wav) then brought her back as a vampire.  |

I've been enjoying this season, but yeah, last night was tough, real tough. Clear filling-out-the-season going on. I'm not sure if I like or dont like they are dragging out every last old character for a run. What's next, Arlene having dreams of Rene, and Gran turning up for one last run?

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Was procrastinating this afternoon and feeling some self-hate so I watched the last 3 episodes in a row.
This is so so so bad. Like, the worst part of a dying relationship.

3 episodes to go in the series and they managed to put out an episode that didn't even marginally move any of the storylines forward. |

It keeps getting worse! How is this humanly possible?
The Tara payoff was about 10 times as boring and useless as it could have been. I can't imagine what those actors felt reading that dumb script. Perfect.

It was awful. I don't even understand why they stuck in that Tara rubbish. I mean I thought there would be a body or something interesting but it was a silly gun that no one ever used. Why couldn't she just tell her mom that she was okay and she's sorry she didn't murder her father. I might not bother with the end of this. That was SO stupid!
Eric always looks sweet, though, so there's that.

We're building up to an epic "Sookie will forever bang the last hot vampire/creature left" since Bill seems to be doing some sort of inexplicable Bill thing. Awesome.  |

Its kind of like I'm in a marathon or something, and I've hit the wall, but I have to keep going to the finish.
I would have thought they would have been building to some big climax, but they're not. I'm not sure what the hell they're building up to - Bill is gonna die, is that it? They didn't even have the balls to kill off Pam - that would have been a shock.
Fake Edit: The thing I'm most disappointed with this last season is that they had the chance to do something completely ridiculous. I mean, the show has always been pretty ridiculous, but with knowing the end of the series (and lots of TV shows dont get that privilege), why couldn't they have gone full retard with it? Create a zombie apocalypse (which I thought they were leading into with the last scene of season 6 with the hep v vampires, and the stuff with the abandoned town in the middle of this series), make vampires take over the world with Eric king of the world, have Sookie decide "fuck this shit" and go supernova with her faerie power, just something suitably crazy. Instead we have this meandering season, which if it had've been season 1, would have canned the series then and there.

This season is basically slash fan fiction.

This is so weak. Not that I really expected anything more from a build up episode in a season where nothing interesting happened, but that entire episode was a giant, pointless, meandering mess. Felt like it was written by 13 year old girl.

The Hoyt/Jessica stuff was almost offensive in the way the writers were trying to paint it as true love, meant to be together shit and glossing over just how dysfunctional that relationship actually was, presumably so the audience wouldn't feel so bad about Hoyt treating Bridget like shit, and that Jessica just broke up a relationship. I mean, I can only assume the writers' intentions are that we're supposed be happy that Jessica and Hoyt are back together, rather than just feeling bad for a character we barely know. Sure, Hoyt has been coming across like an emotionally dead future wife-beater, and Jessica murdered three of Andy's daughters not that long ago (but hey, Andy got over it, so I'm sure Hoyt can deal with it), but isn't it great to have one of the worst sub-plots of the middle seasons back for the end of the series?

At least the Ginger/Eric sex scene paid off nicely.

Series finale tonight. I expect it to be Dexter-level bad.

I'm not sure you could script a more mundane ending for the show. I guess that was the point, but it feels lazy as hell. Pretty boring as well.

I just kept thinking of Troy McClure talking about magic powers, long lost triplets, and "wedding after wedding after wedding."

Spoiler? There would need to be something to spoil. Basically, it ends with a whimper, not with a bang.
