On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I have to admit, i enjoy the hell out of Bill when he's not simpering after Sookie. he and Eric teaming up to kill Nan was great.

also loving Jason and Jessica. in fact, i've loved Jason this season. crazy Hot Shot shit notwithstanding.

I think the show is really dull for the most part too. Although tonight was a good one, imho.

I love Gran and it was great seeing her tonight. I wish they hadn't killed her off in the first season.

I can't decide if I care if Tara is truly dead or not.

I can't decide if I care if Tara is truly dead or not.

If she stays kickass Tara, then yes. But, even still, an EVIL way to end the season.

And who was the reverend vamp who Jason opened the door to? Another first season (which I still haven't seen yet) casualty? Or some minor character I'm spacing on?

Art Crawl!!!

Um, he was the leader of the Church of the New Sun. (I think that is what it was called.) I don't think we knew that he'd been vamped - did we?

I don't remember him getting vamped, but there's a lot to keep track of. Is he who was under the parking lot?

I don't want Tara to be dead, that's just unfair. Bad enough Jesus is dead, and I also hope we get to see him through Lafayette in the future.

Should we know who that wolf was growling at Sam?

Art Crawl!!!

Could it be Marcus walking during All Hallow's Eve?

The parking garage vamp has to be the former King - you know the one that killed Eric's family.

Ghost werewolf? Could be.

Right, King of Mississippi silvered and cemented, that's ringing a bell or two.

So, just lots of chickens coming home to roost all over the place.

The status is NOT quo.

People. True Blood slayed me tonight. Stop killing the best characters, damn it!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Wow, I have been underwhelmed by True Blood this season, but tonight's finale was all killer, no filler. The Hoyt/Jessica/Jason triangle continues to break my heart in the best way ever. And as much as I loved Hoyt/Jess, Jess/Jason is equally yummy for very different reasons and it also kept the odious Crystal and her Hotshot brood at bay for the back half of the season, so thanks for that. Poor LaLa. That family still can't catch a break. He killed Jesus and then Tara gets killed by Debbie Pelt. I hope both of them stick around in spirit form next season. Lafayette needs some good ghost friends. I'm sorry for what Tara's death is going to do to Sookie and Lafayette but I can't say I'm all that sorry to see her go for herself. Her character almost always bugged me except for that one season where she and her crazy mama had the witch/demon possession storyline.

I'm scared for Terry because I love him and seeing bad things happen to him next season will make me sad. I mean, worse things than getting mixed up with Arlene (although her kids continue to be 15 different flavors of awesome). I cheered a little bit for Andy and his "I can be good to someone if they'll let me" speech to Holly. I do enjoy those Bellefleurs.

I was excited to see the return of Reverend Newlin although I imagine he's no longer a devotee of the Fellowship of the Sun. I'm almost positive that the dug up vamp was Russell Edgington. Too bad Nan won't be around to tell us all how it's gonna go down in a post-post-Russell Edginton world. And on the Nan front, I love the dynamic duo of Bill and Eric. They should just cut out the middle woman and hook up now that Sookie has left them both. And poor Pam. Pam is too fabulous to cry on the floor of Fangtasia.

Don't care at all about Debbie Pelt dying, except inasmuch as I think that may be the first person Sookie has ever killed the old fashioned, non-magic way and that is bound to fuck a body up. I'm bored with Alcide, too. He never got past pretty. I don't know who the wolf is menacing Sam, but that has got to be a better storyline than the shifter crap he went through this season. Luna is still annoying and seemingly kinda stupid. I keep hoping she's skinwalking and beneath the Luna exterior is someone much more interesting, but nothing doing thus far. And her daughter is like the anti-Arlene's kids. I hope they get eaten off screen and don't come back.

I didn't love the season. Marnie the character was great. Marnie the storyline was tired up to and including the reaping of her soul (although great to see Gran again).

Amen.
