True Blood

[onthewall2983]

I really didn't want to be the one to start this thread, but this (http://www.imdb.com/news/ni19526369) news was too big not to share here.

[slave2thewage]

We don't need new characters, King Russell is coming back (Oh, Light of My Life). That's all the news I need.

[thevoid99]

I'm glad Russell is going to come back. The last season kinda sucked.

[Michalrose]

Christopher Meloni was fantastic in the series Oz. I can see him playing a menacing vamp. And of course the return of Russel Edgington is very welcomed- Denis O'Hare is fabulous. I could do without Erik's long lost sister. I fell in love with the show from the first episode but it has gone down hill. Each season starts off with alot of promise but quickly falls apart with too many story lines and letting some of these drop off without explanation. The story arc goes in too many directions. Good example of story lines going nowhere is Jason being held captive in Hotshot. It served no purpose and wasted a bunch of time unless they plan to carry out the were panther thing next season. I will still watch it but just not as excited as I used to be.

He really is a much better actor than people give him credit for.

THIS.

Even Eric and Sookie's sexy times grew tedious towards the end of the season.

Yep it would have been so much hotter with old Erik not man-baby Erik who lost his memory. Eric or Erik? Can't remember.

[orestes]

It's Eric.

And not to be one of those "it was better in book" people, but it was. For starters, the nemesis in the book was so much more intimidating than fucking Marnie, who even after death, was more of a stick in the mud than anything else. Secondly, Jason actually becomes a were panther of sorts (and he isn't continuously raped by the womenfolk in Hot Shot, so that's a plus).

Well speaking of the books; Hotshot was such an interesting place surrounded by strong magic and Calvin was a really decent guy not an inbred hillbilly. Yeah Marnie turned out to be whimpy. Hallow was so much better in book.

[orestes]

So who saw the new trailer before Game of Thrones last night?

[miss k bee]

New season already?? Over here we have just got season 4.

[slave2thewage]

It's two and a half months until Season 5 though.

[onthewall2983]

It's less than two hours away, which means less than three hours from this becoming the most entertaining thread on the site again :)

[Michalrose]

Trailers have been exciting. Looking forward to the Christopher Meloni character and of course the return of Russell.

[orestes]

I'm a gay, Vampire-American.

[slave2thewage]

Drumming my fingers until the download link turns up. The internet failed at a working live stream tonight.

[Michalrose]

Loved all of it.

[littlemonkey613]

I haven't liked the show this much since like 3 seasons ago. That was awesome! PAM! AHA

[onthewall2983]

Marcus' mother looks a little intimidating. Probably would help if she had a few ATM's handy.

[Baphomette]

That yellow Walmart track suit just about killed me.

[thevoid99]

Pam and that track suit was hilarious. The episode was a mess. Eric and his sister... whoa although she is very attractive. Who would've thought that Andy has a nice butt. I guess I'll have to lower my expectations for that season. Just as long as they don't kill Eric's sister. She's pretty damn cute.

[orestes]

"We fight like siblings but fuck like champions."

Also, holy smokes did Jessica look hot, even while playing Rock Band.

[slave2thewage]

Kudos, show. You continue to be the most expensive piece of camp around.

[bruised]

"Your super snatch." Pam rules.

[slave2thewage]

Newlin's "ILOVEYOU!!!" while being ejected killed me.

[Michalrose]

Marcus' mother looks a little intimidating. Probably would help if she had a few ATM's handy.
THAT'S where I know her from!

[Lutz]

Kudos, show. You continue to be the most expensive piece of camp around.

Eeek. True Blood isn't camp!

This is camp:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmlANKsgwFM

See the difference?

[M1ke]

I thought it was hilarious when they showed Andy's naked ass lying in bed, but you couldn't tell it was him. He looked so hairless I thought it was a woman at first.

I always thought that Andy naked would be really hairy and not something I'd want to see, but when I saw his naked ass I was mildly aroused. Well done True Blood!

[thevoid99]

Chris Bauer is the last guy I would expect to sport a fine ass. The dude may not have abs or a body of a traditional male sex symbol. Still, for a dude in his 40s. He's quite fit and has managed to look better than most dudes.

[Reaps]

Regardless, i want at least a 95% reduction in man-arse shots next week.

This shows wardrobe department must be the size of a garden shed.

[kdrcraig]

I'm pretty sure Pam is the only good character left on this show, I had to fast forward through the Rock Band scene cause I couldn't take it.

[onthewall2983]

I like that Bill and Eric have that buddy-cop chemistry now.

[Lutz]

I had to fast forward through the Rock Band scene cause I couldn't take it.

It's testament to what a good actress Deborah Ann Woll is even with her story taking a dive last season (along with Jason, Lafayette and the ongoing writers hating Tara) she is still able to sell her character.

[smokey_mcpot]

SOOOOOOO glad lafayette shaved his fucking hair. now i can take him seriously again.

[slave2thewage]

Needs more ASkars penis.

[orestes]

LOL vampire Bible.

[thevoid99]

Man, Sam was right about Emma. That scene with Jessica and Steve Newlin had me laughing my ass off. I wished Tara had slapped both Sookie and LaFayette and went... "Aw Hell Naw!!!!" The stuff about Pam's past was really good though the episode was OK.

[orestes]

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Pam was a Madame.

Also, Robert Patrick will be joining the cast as Alcide's dad.

[EPICRAGE]

That scene with Jessica and Steve Newlin had me laughing my ass off.

Totally..I was laughing so hard at the little dance Steve was doing that my dogs started barking haha I had to rewind it and watch again

[boosh]

The way Bill said "vampire bible" killed me.

[Baphomette]

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Pam was a Madame.

Also, Robert Patrick will be joining the cast as Alcide's dad.

I initially read that as Richard Patrick.

And am I the only one who thinks Pam's make-up has been on the decline? Stop with the smokey eye already.

[Lutz]

The writers still hate Tara.

[Baphomette]

The writers still hate Tara.
I still hate Tara. Worst best friend ever.

[kdrcraig]

I hate the writers for letting me think they finally killed her off

[Hula]

She's even more annoying than before, which I didn't think possible :/

This season hasn't quite sucked me in yet. I've been enjoying the were-pack plot the most at the moment; I've been waiting for Tara scenes if only to see if they actually, you know... Do something useful with her. The fact that she's just been running around tearing up the house every single scene she's had makes me wish Lafayette HAD staked her.

[Conan The Barbarian]

Yea the werewolf line and the order/russell line are the only things in this season that is worth anything. I am not digging anything else from this season so far.

[orestes]

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17q76k6iznz01jpg/original.jpg

[orestes]

So is Salome Steve Newlin's maker?

Also, if being a vampire means you can see stars and galaxies, then sign me up.

[Baphomette]

Debbie Pelt's dad was Tara's dad on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm just the tiniest bit concerned that I was immediately aware of this.

[onthewall2983]

Also, if being a vampire means you can see stars and galaxies, then sign me up.

I'd trade it for Pam's texting skills.

[thevoid99]

Pam is still the best character on the show. Her texting skills and how her past makes her far more interesting than everyone else with a few exceptions in Jessica.

I do love Steve Newlin, he's hilarious.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Tara is just getting on my nerves as usual. Lets play the "I'll never forgive you" vibe every time Sookie and Lafayette are in the same scene for a couple of episodes. I agree though only the two stories mentioned above are worth watching.

[Lutz]

Killing Tara but then not killing Tara is the new Sookie broke up with Bill but now they're back together.

[Nyx]

This show has been getting worse by the season. I find it practically unwatchable now. I braved through the first episode but couldn't make it to the end of the second. It's crap.

[thevoid99]

With the exception of Pam, Eric, Jessica, Jason, Andy, and whatever elements of violence and nudity that's around. Those are the only things that is making me still watch the show that is now becoming very frustrating to watch. If this season ends with one of those characters dead with no chance of any of them coming back. I'm through. I've already decided to stop watching Californication because of how stupid it got. I don't think I can deal with another dumbass ending.

[onthewall2983]

Killing Tara but then not killing Tara is the new Sookie broke up with Bill but now they're back together.

She'll be killed off once she fully accepts who she is, by meeting the true death somehow. I can just feel that's the direction their headed in.

[orestes]

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17qwp33guv5vajpg/original.jpg

[kdrcraig]

I actually liked this weeks' episode quite a bit, way better than last week's. Really liking that we're getting to see Pam's back story and Alcide finally sees how terrible Sookie is. Thought it was funny that the Authority Vampire Tech girl was the chick from Napoleon Dynamite.

[Mech]

Thought it was funny that the Authority Vampire Tech girl was the chick from Napoleon Dynamite.

Not as funny if you already knew her also as a tech girl from Veronica Mars :) Any character from Napoleon Dynamite in serious role is always a shock though! On the topic of "Hey, they're from" it was nice to see Doctore from the Spartacus series, and The Swede from Hell on Wheels!

[kdrcraig]

Yep I noticed Doctore as well, I like that actor. Just thought about this talking about this episode with people at work, I don't think Tara is going anywhere. In the flashback Eric tells Pam how being a maker is this huge responsibility and you can't abandon the new vampire you made, so yeah, Pam is gonna be Tara's vampire mommy. God damn it.

[Michalrose]

"Send in the new Nan Flannagan" That was the best part for me this week.

[thevoid99]

Seeing the girl from Napoleon Dynamite/Big Love and Doctore from Spartacus were minor cool moments. I love those actors.

[orestes]

[thevoid99]

That was awesome. I liked the stuff involving Terry and I think Tara under Pam's control will be a better character. The stuff with Pam and Eric... made me sad.

[orestes]

Seriously, I started crying when Eric released Pam because I'm a big sap.

Also, the fairy gentlemen's club look like something out of Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity.

[Baphomette]

Seriously, I started crying when Eric released PamNot tears. The bleeds.

SO glad they offed the little kid. His hair was really starting to annoy me.

[Lutz]

Sookie only feels bad about the possibility of getting found out for murder, is completely unscathed by a car crash, instantly forgiven by man she jerks around who then fucks her. CHECK.

TRUE BLOOD IS BACK TO NORMAL.

[orestes]

Not tears. The bleeds.

SO glad they offed the little kid. His hair was really starting to annoy me.

His delivery is what annoyed me. I know he was probably directed to sound older than he looks but it just sounded bratty.

[slave2thewage]

Wasn't that kid described as being foul-mouthed, hard-drinking and chain-smoking before the season came out? WHERE DID ALL THE GOOD STUFF GO?!

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Ugh the minute that kid opened his mouth, I couldn't stand him. I even said to my girlfriend "He needs to die". Not sure if the age chart is correct that I found, but if The Guardian is only 500 years old then how did he even get that status? And how old are the others that are on the board?

I thought this episode was pretty meh. And WTF is up with offing all the non-white/black characters? Luna was way too hot to kill!

I thought this was the first good episode of a boring ass season so far. Finally shit is happening.

I just love a good montage.

I know this show likes to throw out red herrings but I wonder if Jessica meets the true death this season, what with her conversation with Tara and Hoyt covered in somebody's blood in next week's preview.

[eversonpoe]

i hope not. i really like jessica. i feel like she's actually made the most progress as a character since her introduction. plus, she's adorable.

[thevoid99]

Last night's episode was OK. It had some funny moments involving drunk Sookie but it's still quite a mess. I don't like what they're doing with Terry's storyline. Does this mean Sam will have to take care of Emma or will Alcide take her in? It's good to see Russell back.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

The next episode looks promising... but this episode was a huge MESS! God it was all over the place. I would love it if it was Tara that the guys shoot; That would be a fucking blessing. That scene with Jessica and Tara having their girl talk was gut wrenching to watch and wayyyy too long. I don't know, this season is all over the place and it needs to balance out a bit.

[profane]

? I thought it was pretty awesome, was at the edge of my seat at times.
The whole series is all over the place for a couple of seasons now and I take it for what's left. Thus I really enjoyed this episode.

[onthewall2983]

As a fairly moderate liberal, it even bugged me that Terry and his crew in Iraq were shown as incompetent, dangerous, and willing to get fucked up whenever the opportunity showed itself. It can be read as a superficial statement (by a rather superficial show) that that behavior was the norm of the American soldier during those conflicts. Don't get me wrong, I'm digging this season, but that really rubbed me wrong.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Don't know how accurate this chart is, but for anyone including myself that was wondering what age all these vamps are...

[Goldfoot]

What the fuck was that?? I was liking this season way more than last, but this episode was out of hand on nearly all accounts.

[orestes]

http://youtu.be/QIPH3sNVa6s

[Michalrose]

I have accepted that True Blood will always be a mess and all over the place and just enjoy it for what it is. The potential to be really good was lost after the first couple seasons. I like Tara better now than before. If she will just get rid of the shitty attitude that she's had since the first episode she would be more tolerable.
Drew is Goo!

[slave2thewage]

Apparently Lilith turns up next episode. And she isn't Salome, but an actual separate entity.

The Terry/Arlene scene was a surprising highlight in one of the worst TB plotlines ever.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Is there any reason why everyone just stood around and watch The Guardian get staked? And this show is really starting to look like a modern day soap opera.

[slave2thewage]

My theory is that the whole council is Sanguinista, except for Roman.


Did my ears deceive me or did he call Queen Mab a cunt?
"Cunt Maab", to be precise.

[onthewall2983]

My theory is that the whole council is Sanguinista, except for Roman.

That thought crossed my mind, too. Makes even more sense when you consider what happened to the people in the bus.

[Goldfoot]

The Terry/Arlene scene was a surprising highlight in one of the worst TB plotlines ever.

Yeah, that storyline as well as the Jesus, Tara, and Hoyt subplots are all annoying the hell out of me. At least that was a really good scene. And when are they going to stop giving these "supes" new abilities? Maybe Sam had super smell before, but I don't recall him using it in the way he did this episode. He can smell survival mode? Give me a fucking break. And now not only can Sookie read people's minds, she can restore shit that's been Glamour'd away? What was the point of Eric doing that then? Just to show that he actually didn't want Alcide to remember?

What an incredible little town where EVERYONE has some sort of connection to the supernatural. All we need now are time travelling wizards and we'll be all set.

[orestes]

Re: Sam

There have been more than once instance where Sam's heightened sense of smell was demonstrated. In the season 1 finale, he sniffed the air to track Sookie who had fled from Rene. Also, in season three he could smell that Felton was a two-ie. Telling Andy he could smell survival mode off the redneck was just shorthand for detecting subtle changes in the body.

Or maybe I've just read too many urban fantasy books like Anita Blake to not blink an eye at such plot devices. :p

[Lutz]

What an incredible little town where EVERYONE has some sort of connection to the supernatural. All we need now are time travelling wizards and we'll be all set.

I know they don't go out of their way to constantly point it out but a lot of the plot doesn't take place in Bon Temps. Geographically speaking we've had the vampire/werewolf culture from at least three states - Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas.

Sookie has a specific reason to be there - because the Fae world is close. That only leaves Sam. Lafayette's voodoo roots are a southern black stereotype.

And going back on that last point. Curses, voodoo and witchcraft are a southern trope along with plantation houses, black culture and swamps. Connecting people in the south to the supernatural isn't wildly outlandish it's following a tradition.

[Goldfoot]

It just seems to me like they don't have enough to keep it interesting so they have to introduce new supernatural plot devices to characters that don't necessarily have to be connected to anything. I think it would have been pretty interesting if Terry's army buddy was legitimately crazy, but they had to go and throw a curse in there. I haven't read the books, or even really looked into them, but the show was presented as being about vampires and humans coexisting. It's one thing to introduce weres, as they've got certain lines of mythology that link those two types of "supes". It's quite another to just keep pulling more and more into this relatively small cast of characters.

And I definitely agree with S.D.P that this is resembling a soap opera. It's been so over the top the past couple seasons that I can't even take it seriously. I enjoyed the main plot of the third season, but then they didn't have any closure, leaving it open to bring Russel back this season. In my opinion, last season was pretty much a waste. It was bordering on self parody, which I found hysterical, but left me wanting them to bring it back to the core ideas that attracted me to the show in the first place. They seem to be doing a better job of that this season, though in the last two episodes they have sent multiple storylines off in directions I personally think are stupid and/or unnecessary.

[Reaps]

The best thing about soaps is usually around christmas they off a bunch of characters, Runaway trains, falling aeroplanes, fires, murder etc.. plus they have bigger budgets than this show. Everytime there's a diner scene in true blood i kinda wish for one of the above to happen..

[Baphomette]

I haven't read the books, or even really looked into them, but the show was presented as being about vampires and humans coexisting. It's one thing to introduce weres, as they've got certain lines of mythology that link those two types of "supes". It's quite another to just keep pulling more and more into this relatively small cast of characters.The books (which are truly awful) have even more supe characters than the show. Keeping my fingers crossed that they won't be introduced once Alan Ball leaves.

[orestes]

I know Quinn won't be on the show.

[M1ke]

I'm kinda hoping that Terry's just losing his mind and that their is no real smoke monster.

[R-Dot-Yung]

This show has become horrendous. I haven' watched season 1 in a while but I really don't remember it being this terrible. There was maybe three scenes of Vampire politics in this episode. I don't know why i still think the writers would even go there but this whole authority business is fleshed out barely, the impact has not been felt by me and it doesn't seem like they'll ever get into it I don't know why I would even think that they would at this point.

I understand people like this show, and the fan base has definitely changed, or grown or something. But the smoke monster? Way to go lets just ruin Terry as a character I want to watch.

More jesus plot line. More fairy plot line. More werewolf plot line. More shifter bla bla bla.

I doubt any of this crap intertwines in any meaningful way. I'll still watch because I'm a hypocrite idiot, but this show is terrible. How do you let this follow Game Of Thrones. BLECH

[Conan The Barbarian]

when is game of thrones coming back?

[slave2thewage]

[Lutz]

The strength of True Blood is in it's great characters. When they are given time to air and the actors run away with them it is great but when they are sort of lazily pushed around as puppets to the story it's not so great. It gravitates somewhere between the two these days. The other thing that True Blood used to do brilliantly (but I think has gone completely now) is to write brazenly stupid plot developments extremely well.

And how did Arlene/Holly et al get promoted to series regular ahead of Ginger?

[Mech]

This season is boring.

[slave2thewage]

This episode was a bit of a clusterfuck. Although, Russell continues to be a delight.

[R-Dot-Yung]

The second I saw "lillith" come out of the ground I hit myself for watching this show.

[Baphomette]

Suddenly find myself liking Tara. Amazing what some good pole work can do.

This episode was horrible.

Even Russell was subpar. Do we know what the big villan is yet? Is it sookie? Please god let it be sookie.

[jhulud]

The second I saw "lillith" come out of the ground I hit myself for watching this show.

Worst plot device...effect...whatever...EVER!

[thevoid99]

This show is getting really dumb. I love Russell but even he isn't as good as he once was. Everyone is starting to be off their game.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Seemed like Russel is the only one that is on his game. He only really just got out into the public so I can see them letting him flourish once again. Plus, he did just kill two higher up vampires in consecutive episodes and I would love to see even more.

But god... Tara needs to fucking die. Whenever she is on screen I roll my eyes and cannot wait for it to end. The only upside on her is that we get to see Pam who is always a delight.

The more this season goes on, the more of a cluster fuck every episode is. It's like they don't know what to do with all this story lines going on in the show. It just seems like too much.

[Primitive]

I couldn't finish this episode, seemed to drag. I enjoyed most of the build up for this season, but the pay offs just isn't there. The writers have too much going on, and I'm so bored by the annual deaths of so many interesting characters that never goes anywhere. I've enjoyed the series, but I'm not going to miss not watching it.

[Conan The Barbarian]

Yea this show has veered off from what I thought the point was, a town in a world filled with supernatural beings. Now its going all sorts of directions. To be honest, I am digging the smoke monster, werewolves, and hate group story arcs than the actual bullshit that is going on with the vamps and the stackhouses.

So I just watch for the wolves.

[Baphomette]

HBO's released spoilers for the next two episodes.



Episode #57: “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”

As the Authority proceeds with Lilith’s plan, Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) plots his escape. Gran (Lois Smith) directs Sookie (Anna Paquin) to a clue to her parents’ murderer. Andy (Chris Bauer) and Jason (Ryan Kwanten) search for leads to the identities of the people behind the shifter killings. Alcide (Joe Manganiello) recalls his pack induction; Arlene (Carrie Preston) gets caught in Terry (Todd Lowe) and Patrick’s (Scott Foley) crossfire; Steve (Michael McMillian) gets a new pet.


Episode #58: “Gone, Gone, Gone”

With vampire-on-human attacks increasing, the Authority attempts to woo public favor. Meanwhile, Nora (Lucy Griffiths) tries to convert Eric to Lilith’s gospel. Jason finds a mysterious scroll; Elijah (Keram Malicki-Sanchez), the new vampire sheriff of Area 5, pushes Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) and Tara (Rutina Wesley) to obey a new mandate; Sam (Sam Trammell) and Luna (Janina Gavankar) search for Emma (Chloe Noelle); Russell (Denis O’Hare) seeks a higher calling.

[orestes]

WTF True Blood?!

Also, nice wax job, Lilith.

[thevoid99]

I think the only thing that still makes me want to see this is hopefully a nude Deborah Ann Woll and maybe another nude encore from Camilla Luddington (who did nude scenes in Californication) as one of the fairies. If neither of that happens and the show gets dumber, I'm out.

[Radiovoyr]

I think last night this show went from being tolerable shit to unwatchable shit. The Lilith scene was amazingly shitty looking. Also, I think this is the first time I've seen a show flashback to something we saw 30ish minutes ago. I cannot believe this is the same Allan Ball that wrote Six Feet Under.

[Goldfoot]

The more this season goes on, the more of a cluster fuck every episode is. It's like they don't know what to do with all this story lines going on in the show. It just seems like too much.

I was just telling a friend what has gotten me down about this show lately and this is such a big one. I started counting off subplots on my fingers and I made it to 6 of them that are boring and annoying me. The fact that there are 6 SUBplots is bad enough, but there's still more than that, depending on how you want to break them up. At least this past episode returned to being unintentionally funny. Or maybe it was intentional. I don't know, but I lost it when Sam was rolling around like a dog, sniffing the rug. Then there was that whole, "hate groups isn't just about hate," exchange.

Also, I tend to think of myself as heterosexual, but GODDAMN Alcide. Eric too, but especially Alcide.

Whinge whinge whinge I got more rises out of this one episode of True Blood than all of The Dark Knight Rises and that movie was about rises.

[kdrcraig]

I don't know, but I lost it when Sam was rolling around like a dog, sniffing the rug. Then there was that whole, "hate groups isn't just about hate," exchange.

That had me cracking up too, and a lot of the shit Russel was doing/saying was pretty hilarious, if I didn't know he was coming back this season I might've given up on it before he did. The episode was beyond ridiculous overall, I don't know how these actors do most of this shit with a strait face anymore.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I was just telling a friend what has gotten me down about this show lately and this is such a big one. I started counting off subplots on my fingers and I made it to 6 of them that are boring and annoying me. The fact that there are 6 SUBplots is bad enough, but there's still more than that, depending on how you want to break them up. At least this past episode returned to being unintentionally funny. Or maybe it was intentional. I don't know, but I lost it when Sam was rolling around like a dog, sniffing the rug. Then there was that whole, "hate groups isn't just about hate," exchange.

Also, I tend to think of myself as heterosexual, but GODDAMN Alcide. Eric too, but especially Alcide.

Yea man, the subplots are just atrocious, and that one part when Sam was rolling around on the floor..... I don't think I ever laughed as much this season when that scene came out. I really thought that they were going for some comedy, but it's sad that they were trying to be serious in that scene. Also when Sam says "I sensed him going into survival mode".... give me a fucking break!

[eversonpoe]

bill taking a piggyback ride on eric was pretty adorable, though.

[smokey_mcpot]

the gayest part was the sonic plug. "right now its all about the sonic"

*FACE PALM*

I dunno. After my sister gave birth last fall, the first place we hit up for her "necessities" was Sonic. :p

New characters/subplots will continue to be introduced until the season ends. At least five new people and fairy drama involving Jason.

So, there you go.

God, that scene was like something out of the Mummy; otherwise, not bad direction from Stephen Moyer.

Also, totally called it on Maxine being the Dragon.

Once I heard "A large woman" I just though "Oh Maxine, you she-devil".

My guess would be that they are preparing themselves for any possible cast changes once Alan Ball steps down

[Lutz]

Does Luna turning into Sam mean that she was actually the one who killed the other shifters?

Yea I thought he did a pretty good job with it. The pacing didn't seem so mach 5 this time around.

And one thing that has been bothering me is, how the hell does Tara get the best of Jessica when she about 2 to 3 years old... and Tara was only like 2 days old? Do you have to be significantly older to be stronger? I thought if you are older, you're stronger no matter what?

[eversonpoe]

i love pam. so much. she never fails to make me smile. at this point, she's about 50% of the reason i'm still watching the show, lafayette being the other 50%. everything else is just ridiculous.

I think it also counts if your maker is older/stronger because they are giving older/stronger blood?

So we have the line of Godrik/Eric/Pam/Tara which is older than Lorena/Bill/Jessica.

[orestes]

How did I miss this?

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17ugjlbgm4n3bgif/original.gif

[kdrcraig]

It's like this show is trying to see how far they can push it before I stop watching it. This season hasn't even been good/bad, just all bad.

[Goldfoot]

At least the shifter storyline got a bit interesting. For now. Still bugs me that there's a huge focus on their supersniffers all of a sudden. Wouldn't it make more sense for the weres to have heightened smell instead of the shifters?

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

^^^ I agree. I didn't get that when Sam said what he could do to Andy in the hospital. Now they are smelling bad diets and what people ate.. I still get that glimpse of Sam rolling around on the floor smelling for a trace, shit that scene was hilarious.

[Baphomette]

It's like this show is trying to see how far they can push it before I stop watching it.I've been watching it over at a friend's house since I don't have HBO and he keeps threatening to boycott it. Thankfully, he liked the last episode (albeit it barely). I thought it was the best episode since the season opener. And I was ecstatic to see Pam sans crimped hair.


So we have the line of Godrik/Eric/Pam/Tara...
Godrik/Eric/Nora/Pam/Colin/Tara
http://trueblood.wikia.com/wiki/Colin

[Goldfoot]

Godrik/Eric/Nora/Pam/Colin/Tara

Nora and Colin have nothing to do with the "making" of Tara, though.

[Baphomette]

Sorry. Misread the post. I thought it was referring to their family tree.

[Goldfoot]

Sorry. Misread the post. I thought it was referring to their family tree.

Gotcha. What kind of indication do we have of István's age, though? That wiki only says he was turned before the 18th century. I suppose he has to be younger than Godric and probably Eric or they would have made it a point to say so, right?

[orestes]

Opening scene: cock.

Also, young Alcide is fine.

And HOLY LUSCIOUS FUCK YOUNG ALCIDE.

[Lutz]

They totes missed the opportunity to have both the cops and the shifters held up in their rescue attempt for a surprise last minute save by MAXINE FORTENBERRY.

[orestes]

Yeah, they managed to pull off a successful red herring by having Maxine not be the Dragon.

[slave2thewage]

was alcide really listening to the wallflowers in his car? that's pretty fucking funny.
young alcide looked a very slight bit like robert pattinson...and that bugged me. robert patrick really did look like he was trying to be richard.
also, jason & andy beating the shit out of what's his name in the prison cell? i can't really see the two of them doing that, even while emotionally riled...

[Lutz]

And further to my last post they missed what could have been an iconic True Blood slapdown between the dragon lady and Maxine.

HBO's spoilers for the last two episodes.

Episode 59 "Sunset"
Slipping further into religious fervor, Bill gives Jessica an order she’s loath to carry out. Armed with a damning video of Russell and Steve, the military delivers an ultimatum to the Authority. Claude and Maurella take Sookie to meet the faerie elder, who may know something about an ancient family secret. Alcide reconnects with his father; Sam and Luna hitch a ride into the Authority.

Episode 60 "Save Yourself"
Eric embarks on a final, desperate mission to overthrow the Authority—and save Bill from losing his humanity. Andy faces the consequences of a light pact he made; Alcide readies for a second showdown with J.D.; Sam and Luna test their limits in trying to escape the Authority.

[M1ke]

I think that was the first good episode of the season.

[slave2thewage]

The Hoyt/Jessica/Jason scene in Merlotte's destroyed me.

Also, I fuckin' love Russell's Germanic accent.

[orestes]

LOL Andy's going to be a father.

Also, Tara's Prissy impersonation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAV3OfHo4n4

[thevoid99]

That was a decent episode. The whole Jason/Hoyt/Jessica thing was great, I cried for Jason. I love what Tara did to that sheriff. Seeing old, crazy Russell brings back good memories.

[onthewall2983]

Tara killing that annoying new sheriff, was damn near cathartic.

The livestream tonight was ATROCIOUS.

[onthewall2983]

I generally empathize but don't agree totally that the show sucks, but I have to admit tonight's episode was pretty good.

[slave2thewage]

Yeah, tonight seemed great, but I generally saw twenty seconds of a scene, had 30 seconds of audio and then 30 second of NOTHING. Ugh.

Is Russell Warlow then?

[onthewall2983]

I'm assuming not, the contract would have been brought up by him for now. I suspect there will be a confrontation between the two next week.

[Baphomette]

The black guy vamp always dies.

[slave2thewage]

You know how it seems they're trying to make the entire audience hate Bill? I wonder if it means that he might be killed off next week.

[Lutz]

I think it might be end of contract season so they are leaving things open with all the main cast?

[onthewall2983]

Alan Ball leaving his post is probably going to leave a lot up in the air, as far as the future of the show.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I don't like what they are doing with Bill's character AT ALL.

Oh christ, a season of Messiah!Bill. The vampire persecution angle does seem interesting, though.

[orestes]

So who watched the season premiere?

[heavenly_bearded]

^^^
Vudu doesn't air until the day after :/ Wife is freaking out, hell of a way to end season 5. Been awaiting the new episode for a long time now...

[onthewall2983]

I did. It didn't knock me out.

[orestes]

Yeah, I only watched it to see if it would be worth my time watching this season. The opening scene with Billith flying away was horrible! I think I'll just read io9's recaps this season.

[onthewall2983]

All of the really good television I've watched in the interim between these two seasons has drained my enthusiasm. The broad strokes of social commentary that American Horror Story ​explored last season seem more subdued and subliminal in comparison to tonight's episode.

[Baphomette]

Decent enough to keep my attention. We'll see what happens next week.
And I agree about flying Billith. That was just lame.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I thought the episode was pretty good. There were definitely more dull moments than good moments, but kind of interested where it is going to go from here.

Here's my random thoughts:
- I am so frigging over Alcide.
- Not enough LaLa.
- This "evil Governor" plotline looks like it's going to be a flop.
- Luna had the worst send-off of any character in any fictional work EVER.

[thevoid99]

After all of the ridiculousness that's been happening with the show and how it gets sillier and sometimes very dumb. I'm done with the show. It's just not fun to watch anymore.

True Blood jumped the shark after season 3. I'm going to hang in there and watch this season although I am less than enthusiastic.
A couple questions; is this the last season? And, which character is Rutger Hauer playing, Warlow or Niall? This remains a mystery right now.

[Kodiak33]

He said he was Warlow at the end with Jason in the car.

Season 4 was horrible and turned into white-trash dribble, but I looooooved the last season. It was what it's all been building up to. More large consequence actions, politics, (real) surprises, less sex (thank you), and all done in pitch-perfect campness. This season seems like it could be just as good.

[onthewall2983]

I heard second-hand next season might be the last. It certainly won't be this one, they would announce that upfront.

[Kodiak33]

I hope so, last season was MUCH better than the one before...we'll see how this one goes.

[johnhenry]

The problems with this show are countless and the fun bits are rarer than ever. But the things that really bug me are a couple of vampire traits/powers that are cool in theory but make for massive, frustrating logic holes in the show.

1) Vampire blood: It's always bugged me that this apparently effective panacea is used so inconsistently (and somehow remains unknown to the medical establishment and human culture at large, which could cure a common ailment known as "death" with it). Vampires could solve all their PR problems by curing all disease forever.

2) Super-speed: This is now the most irritating flaw in the show for me. E.g., at the top of the episode, why in sweet holy fuck would Eric and Sookie run at standard slow-ass human speed from Billith? (To an ELEVATOR?! With a malevolent vampire god hot on your heels? grrr.) Why did Eric scream "RU-U-U-U-UN!" rather than put Sookie over his shoulder and run at super-vamp-hyper-cheetah speed to literally anywhere else? It was a pretty time-sensitive situation they were in.

Petty? Sure, but now that this show has become the Telemundo version of itself and given up on character development altogether, these things stand out even more.

EDIT: oh that's right I forgot that Eric can also fucking fly. But, whatever, y'know... "RU-U-U-U-U-UN!"

The use of vampire speed in this episode is why I decided "fuck this show" after I watched this episode. It's really annoying. eye roll inducing.

[orestes]

I'm not so sure. This trailer makes me think he might actually be Niall, or whatever the fuck name he's going by on the show, instead of Warlow. Plus, in the flashback to the Stackhouses' murder, Warlow looked like a vampire version of Rob Zombie.

Yeaa, I see what you're saying. But when Jason first got into the car and just the way he was dressed and the whole vibe of the scene... it just stood out to me. They did a decent job at least making him look totally different in the flashbacks.

[onthewall2983]

I was very pleased when I read the Rolling Stone review of the show with the headline "Bored On The Bayou". We're not the only ones getting it that this might finally lost a bit of it's tooth.

[R-Dot-Yung]

I'm finding this season very hard to watch...I guess 4 seasons of bad plot, character development, and writing have finally nailed this one in for me. I don't know if I'll make it past this episode.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I don't see all the hate about this season. The first three were great and yea the show has been declining, but I find this season very interesting because we really do not know what is going to happen since everything now is going apeshit. I see the show taking a major turn from the current plot going on with the people vs the vamps. We know we are going to get the ridiculous scenes that make us roll our eyes, but there is still enough here to keep me interested like Bill contorting that chick and doing the whole no gravity drinking blood skill... that was just sick.

The show has been getting more ridiculous and silly... but that is what I kind of like about it.

[Baphomette]

I'm so over Pam's "Eric told me to go 'way" butthurt.

Got to admit this episode was a little better, but I'm not going to get my hopes up unless next season really is the last and it's all leading towards an end.
