The True Blood Dumb Gossip-Head Weirdo Bitches thread

Indeed! Cannot wait!

You mean something like






*****SPOILER*****


A major chatacter gets killed off in the first episode.

I'm starting in an hour. Mrs. Stone will be in seclusion until it's over.

Woof. Well that was an opening episode. I didn't realize how much I missed this crazy show.

Well, that was an episode...

Is it too early to start my "That was Eric's hand at the end!" crazed theory?

Tara had a good run. I feel like maybe the writers just didn't know where to take her story.

I liked the showdown between Jessica and the Hep V vamp, and I liked how James connected with LaLa. I prefer the original actor, but whatever.

But did no one think, "Okay, we're looking for vampires, probably in a building no longer being used. Ooh! Let's try Fangtasia!"

Ugh this show!

Some random musings:
- The writers couldn't have chosen to kill of a main character that I cared less about. She should have stayed dead the first time.
- Jessica (and apparently Lafayette) got a definite downgrade when it went from Luke Grimes to Hayley's werewolf bf from The Originals
- It's nice that even after 6 seasons Anna Paquin can't sustain an accent throughout an entire episode...or scene.
- I'm so concerned about Sam's gf and baby because I think she's been on the show about 7 mins total.
- This season seems to be like season 2 of The Walking Dead. An endless, uninteresting search for another character.

The one on Sookie's face at the end of the promo, right after her talking about love with Jason

Rutina said abot two words on that special last week. That should have been a sign!

To add to what Wynbish said, this show has never known what to do with Tara. She was always the worst and the show seemed to get a particular pleasure out of sh¡tting on her. I always loved her, though, mostly because I just love Rutina Wesley. But that said, my money is on Tara really being dead. I could have told you, Tara, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

You'd think that making her a vampire would give her some life, but no. For a few episodes last season, her one contribution was protecting Jason from the Gen Pop girls. Her death will be a better contribution than that, if nothing more than bringing the crazy back to Lettie Mae.

And Jessica! But she's stuck in a crappy storyline. I thought for a second she was gonna drink AdA???farie's blood so she could outlast the diseased vampire in the sun.

Arlene is the only one I care abot getting it of Fangtasia's basement. Maybe Jane Bodehouse. That effing Holly is still alive is equally galling as Vampira. Jason always seems like some writer's ham handed way of trying to subvert gender tropes where it comes to sex.

I still love it, though, because duh, it's True Blood.

There's a Vulture interview that makes it sound like Tara is most sincerely dead.

Tara's death scene was indeed incredibly bizarre. For such a major character, I don't understand why they wouldn't show her dying or give her some kind of send off. She had a couple lines and then we are told she's dead. It was lame and a smack in the face to a character that the writers haven't known what to do with for years. I don't buy into the "she's not dead!" thing either. That would be an even bigger joke. I don't think Pam is freaking out over it because she is trying to find Erik, I'm sure it will be talked about soon enough.

Other than that, the episode was a little on the slow side but most of the premieres of True Blood are. It was entertaining enough and set up the season. If the preview at the end of the episode is any indication, we're in for a hell of a season. Even the best seasons have had their ups and downs but I will miss this show greatly. I started watching it with my best friend when we were in high school. Now, here we are 7 years later as adults still talking about the show every week to each other. It will be sad to see it go.

On a side note, Jessica was the highlight of the night for me. One more reason I think she is the best and most well rounded and well written character on the show. I know they have said quite a few main characters will fall this season, if she is among the ones who will die, I will be truly heartbroken.
