So, um...*who* is the major character who supposedly will be killed off, this season? I've heard rumbles the last few weeks, but mostly from here, not anywhere else on the 'net. Where is this rumor coming from, then?
So, we have Terry in a non-sequitur subplot, suddenly wanting to die. (Is it him? He's never been a particularly "major" character, anyhow. And btw, does anyone think it's weird that Terry, a victim in the books and on the show of PTSD, suddenly got mostly over it after getting married and having Mikey with Arlene? And btw again, we haven't seen Mikey since like two seasons ago, yet this season they've consistently had the entire family in the same room with the fairy girls.) I have a feeling it's not him, as nobody would be all that broken up about him leaving one season before the end. (That said, a friend of mine went to school with him, so I'm proud of Todd Lowe strictly by association.)
Jessica's been suddenly getting all god-fearing, which we haven't seen her do since she was human. She goes from teen human to worldly teen vamp within the span of a year or two, in show years, and all of a sudden she has a conscience, after being ravenous like "all" TB baby vamps when they're reborn? Is it her?
Is it Rutina Wesley, because now that she's a vamp they aren't even giving her particularly good storylines to fit that attitude of hers and she might want off the show, already? She only says "I ain't gon' take this ****!" every other episode or so, and that's it for the 'tude. And now she's in the internment camp saying she doesn't believe in the devil the way her mama did, looking more like human Tara than vamp Tara, consoling and hugging Jessica? Anyone think these vamps are acting more human, this year? Even Eric is, with his dichotomous concern for Willa since he made her, yet Alex has this dead-eye look that still makes him stay in character...
...But I digress. Is it Bill? Warlow has to "kill Lillith," who is currently embedded in Bill, so unless there's some kind of exorcism, the presumed "baddie who needs to be killed by the end of the season" may have to be Bill. But you kinda can't kill Bill. Unless Steven Moyer wants to just go on directing more TB episodes.
Again, I have read no other rumors of the "major character dying" other than here, so it's fitting to post these questions, here. It's not a spoiler, it's all speculation, IMHO.
More Warlow and his believable devotion to Sookie, please. How interesting. That said, if he's a 6000 year old fairy-vampire full of self-loathing and "wishes the vampire race extinction," why didn't he just let himself get caught or killed, or stake himself, during that time? He could have let himself have the true death. After all, the contract he entered into with John Stackhouse, Niall's brother, was only something like 100 [TB] years ago. He had no reason to know and wait around for that. (And, btw, if Niall's entire family was massacred when he was 4, in 3500 BC...how is Niall only 3 generations removed from Sookie as her great-great-grandfather, and how was his brother even around to sign the contract if the entire family died except for toddler Niall? Things that make me go "hmmm" more than Anna Camp's rescinding Jessica's invite to Jason's house.)
