The True Blood Dumb Gossip-Head Weirdo Bitches thread — Page 10

"As always, I bitch because I love. But this sh*t is off the rails."

Priceless!

"Did anyone else hope that Bill was going to go ahead and die all over Sookie?"

Yes.

I'm so over that shaite, I can't even produce a full paragraph review of the episode. Of course, Namo will be delighted

---

I think what you're suggesting with Hoyt and Jason is a great idea and I hope the writers were clever enough to think of it too.

When exactly, and HOW, did Tammy Faye personally invent Hep-V?

---

They must have been. Otherwise they would have just been called The Japanese and not The Evil Japanese.

---

And she lured them there so that she can kill Adilyn because she's fae, right?

She lured her there to put her in danger because Jessica was her protector. If she is in danger, Jessica will come.

And Granddaddy Fae JUST told Sookie that he is always watching. So, the first thing she does is get to banging? Hell, when my grandmother died when I was a teen, I was petrified to kiss my boyfriend for weeks because she would KNOW! (Yeah, Baptist upbringing.) Sookie KNOWS he can see. What an exhibitionist.

---

I'm watching it now and have been thinking the same thing: no Sam tonight.

Bill's not gonna die, come on....

That stuff between Jason and Hoyt was sweet, considering that Hoyt asked Jess to glamour him when he left town but everyone else remembers his life story and history with Jason and with Jess, though he doesn't know they know.

FOR F*CK'S SAKE BILL JUST DRINK THE F*CKING BLOOD WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SO DIFFICULT

Pam and Jessica should do a show and let Hoyt just stand in the background.

I feel like Bill will die. One of the main ones has to go, and now that Eric is better, it seems like that leaves Bill. I know Alan Ball isn't at the helm anymore, but he was really wanting Charlaine Harris to kill Bill at the end of the books, so perhaps that will be his legacy to the show.

This furious need to partner up everyone before the show ends is making me crazy. Now they are reintroducing the idea of Hoyt and Jessica? Come on. There are no stakes to anything at this point. We had to sit through all that Violet nonsense for nothing, except to maybe maneuver Jessica and Jason (or Hoyt?) back together and to give us a bunch of patented True Blood gross sex stuff.

And that Tara stuff last night? I can't even go there.

"And that Tara stuff last night? I can't even go there."

But I will. That was a missed opportunity. I never read the books and never will. The only option that could have salvaged that f*ckery would have been a revelation that a young Tara killed her father in her mom's defense and that Lettie Mae, Lafayette, and Sookie kept that family secret all these years. I didn't care for Pastor Daniels' involvement one bit. He was the odd man out.

I did empathize with Lettie Mae. After all, she's a human being who has wrestled some real demons in her life. Countless women suffer silently in abusive relationships with men whom they love above all else. Some, including a deceased relative of mine, lose their lives at the hands of those domestic terrorists. But, the Tara-Lettie Mae-Estranged Father-arc came too late in the series life cycle to pack any sort of emotional punch or engender viewer interest. Lettie Mae got the closure she desperately needed but I was left pissed at the timing and rushed feel of the whole thing. Part of the reason human Tara was arguably never a fan favorite was because early on the writers failed to provide enough of a back story to explain just why she was mad at the world and why Sookie tolerated her for so long.

Making Sookie, Lafayette, and Lettie Mae complicit in the cover-up of the murder of Tara's father by Tara would be the perfect device to create ties to bind them forever. Witnessing and covering up a murder is a tough trick for anyone to pull off, especially children. Perhaps the innocence of child-murderer Tara and her two juvenile accomplices could have spared them somewhat with Lettie Mae damaged beyond repair.

In retrospect, Tara losing her own human life at the hands of Debbie Pelt could have been poetic justice if properly set up. That was the most opportune moment to give Sookie, Lafayette, and Lettie Mae their catharsis where Tara was concerned. Killing off Tara two times was just a bit extra.

There's a reason I always found the humans considerably more boring than the vamps, except Jason, Arlene and Sam. The portrayal of human relationships on the show lacks a certain sophistication and pathos. And I agree that Adina and Rutina acted the hell out of the steaming heap of shaite they were served.

Is this series over yet?

Team Sarah Newlin here!

Anna Camp was a hoot in that role as a ditsy blond shaite-stirrer and beard to Pastor Steve Newlin. Although toned down somewhat, her scenes this season still top my personal highlight reel. Her sister was hellahot but otherwise disposable.

"Well Tara is white, largely not even present and pretty disposable in the books... (I never bothered reading far enough to see if she was killed off early like Lafayette.)"

Thanks for sharing, Eric...

I'm starting to recall the posts on other online fora that made a huge issue of the color-blind casting and how off-putting the bitter-black-woman story line was to them. I tried not to read too much into all that back then and now as well. It's not possible to please everyone.

Race aside, I absolutely abhorred the way the Tara character was written for the series. Tara was always protective of Sookie. We were led to believe that it was due to Sookie being regarded as a freak of nature by the good and bad folks of Bon Temps. I still suggest that making Sookie an accessory to Tara's heinous crime early on would have made their link more palatable and less random. At least Tara and Lafayette were blood relatives from a cesspool of a family. I often pondered privately if Lala and Tara could have the same dad unbeknown to them, but a secret guarded by their moms. If you're going to dip into Southern family history, spill all the beans.

Tara's first death could have bookended the entire series if properly set up. She's the only regular who died not once but twice and viewers still don't give a shaite. I'm attributing it solely to not exactly the best writing where that particular character is concerned.

loeverpuppy,

What I don't recall is any mention of Lafayette's father so there's no guarantee that he and Ruby bear that gentlemen's last name. I'd be on here till tomorrow if I revealed the number of families of all hues with which I'm acquainted from the Old South in which one relative took in some philandering husband's or wayward son's outside child(ren) to keep up appearances. And don't even get me started on the adventures of some of those pastors in the guise of spreading the Holy Word.
