True Blood Season 6
#150True Blood was totally better than the Tonys, right? (Spoilers within)

I'm ready for Eric (and maybe Bill) to be back in Shreveport. He may have released her, but I doubt Eric would like it that the new sheriff threw Pam across the room.
And come on, now I can't even get my Russell/Steve Newlin scenes without werewolves? And then Sookie was caught up in the shifters' storyline?
Shreveport really is in for a war. Now that Steve has Emma, that brings Sam and Luna into it. No doubt, Alcide will factor in it. Will Pam and Tara be on the Authority side? Can Jessica fight on the opposite side as Bill?
From the preview, it really does seem like Jason may become a vampire by Jessica. Is there going to be no 100% human left, except for Arlene and Terry? Sookie needs some human confidants, especially her brother.
I checked Tumblr earlier today (I'm a sucker for a fun GIF), and there are conflicting theories about who Warlow is. Some think it is Russell (obvious choice), while others think it is Godric due to the shape of his chin and gap in the front teeth. How could it be Godric?

Posted: 8/6/12 at 2:15pmAlso, even though I could have taken her or left her for almost two seasons (mostly I'd like to leave her), I do kind of dig vigilante Luna.

Posted: 8/6/12 at 2:39pmI'm so sick of Bill & Eric in the vampire house. With only three episodes left they've spent the entire season in two rooms, except when they went on their field trip. It's been a very good season but I'm ready for some Eric/Bill/Sooki interaction already.

Posted: 8/6/12 at 10:38pmI was thinking about Bill the other day and realizing that he's kind of a cipher. I think he may really be all in the Authority. He does seem to bend with the road.

Yes!
And Tara and Pam are going to have to unite against that new sheriff!

Posted: 8/7/12 at 4:53amThe show has always had issue with trying to keep their different stories and characters connected (Sookie not noticing that her super close brother was abducted and being raped for what seemed like weeks, last year being an issue). Alan Ball seems to have worked harder at that this year, having character criss cross more (Sookie seeing Luna at the hospital--did she even know Luna?--etc), and also seems to be getting out all his religion demons since it's his last year as writer. I'm kinda worried about the show without him.

Posted: 8/7/12 at 7:26amI gave up on TB last season. I know that they don't have to be the same, but the show has moved so far beyond the charm and great story telling of the books that I just can't watch it anymore.

Posted: 8/7/12 at 7:17pmYou're worried about the show without him Eric? Cause the show with him is a colossal disaster.

"I gave up on TB last season. I know that they don't have to be the same, but the show has moved so far beyond the charm and great story telling of the books that I just can't watch it anymore."
We read different books, apparently.
I know taste varies, but I found the books so poorly written, that after the second (or maybe the third--they ARE quick, easy reads, anyway) I just gave up (I think ti was around the time that Bill ripped Sookie's vagina during sex, used some vamp blood to heal it up, and then took her again). I think Alan Ball has improved on the sourcde ten fold.
Chance, I admit the show is a mess, and has been since season 2, but I find it a fun mess--honestly that's part of the appeal for me. I don't think it will get better without him, certainly (I think right now the plan is to promote someone from the writing team and not bring in someone new--I'd be curious to see what Angela Robinson could do).

Posted: 8/7/12 at 7:30pmThe Authority was not in the books, right?
#161True Blood was totally better than the Tonys, right? (Spoilers within)
Posted: 8/7/12 at 7:40pmPretty sure not, at least not in the early ones. The show also dropped (thankfully) Jason turning into a panther, Lafayette dies in book one, Tara is white, Jessica doesn't exist, etc...

Posted: 8/7/12 at 8:34pmI don't want to live in a world where Jessica doesn't exist.

The Tracy character on the show is a reference to the book's Tara. The Tara in the book owns a store called Tara's Togs. TV Tara is nothing like book Tara.
The books are okay, but the show has Jessica.
#165True Blood was totally better than the Tonys, right? (Spoilers within)
Posted: 8/7/12 at 8:52pmExactly, well said. (I think even Harris, the book's authors, who has been pretty quiet about her feelings of the show except to offer bland support has said that she wished she had thought of Jessica). I don't mean to completely put down the books--obviously the show still takes material from them, they just are pretty surprisingly... not good. Supernatural romance novels, IMHO.

Posted: 8/7/12 at 9:02pmThere was one book I really liked, the fourth maybe? There was a big trial. As a general rule I like the show more. Both have too much were crap, though.

Maybe the best episode of the season? And, save for Emma, no Weres whatsoever!
I have already rewatched the Tara and Pam scenes ten times. When the Sheriff asked how Pam pays her employees and Tara said, "She not" might be favorite thing ever.

I cried more than once tonight.

Ryan Kwanten had a good showing tonight. I love the Jason/Sookie scenes lately.
I really hope Bill does not make Jessica drink the blood.
Too little Eric
No Terry/Arlene or Alcide, but they needed a week off anyways.

Posted: 8/13/12 at 1:20amI saw Arlene on the street tonight when I walked my dog so I got my Arlene fix.

Posted: 8/13/12 at 1:22amI wish they would have shown a better preview for the next episode, instead of the same one from last week

Posted: 8/13/12 at 12:53pmI was sorry to see Molly get staked!
#173True Blood was totally better than the Tonys, right? (Spoilers within)
Posted: 8/13/12 at 1:17pmI'm hoping Bill gets staked next week. There's really no point to him anymore and he's just pissing me off.

And if he makes Jessica drink the Kool-Aid or makes her turn Jason, then he really needs to eat stake.
