I crossed some kind of threshold with this show a while back - I don't care about any of the characters, I'm not invested in the plot going any particular way, but I do want to find out what happens next.

I laughed my ass off at Jessica's gleeful "I KNEW it!" when Pam and Tara started snogging. It's the little thing like that which keep me hanging on.

Lafayette read the voyeur ghosts in Sookie's room.

Did he get much else to do, or get significant arcs? I think he's the only one there I like from guggle to zatch, so I'm sure there's something I'm not thinking of, and I'd like to be able to call it to mind.

The thing with Jesus's father was this season, wasn't it? I guess that was what the bleach in the gumbo incident and so forth was building to. I can't remember that that all made a lot of sense, though. And he talked to the Iraqi ghost lady for Terry.

For a second there I thought he'd laced the margaritas with something last night, but I guess not.

I so don't give a damn about Billith.

Seriously. I couldn't work out what--like uppers or downers or poison or roofies...just, it seemed weird to just give out good drinks. I liked his attitude, and I felt relieved to see it on display, but...what was that for?

And he talked to the Iraqi ghost lady for Terry.

Speaking of "what was that for?" -- to a relatively recent viewer, that made little sense or impact.

Yeah, that whole storyline was pretty pointless. I guess they just wanted to feature Terry and never really figured out what they were doing beyond that. Which is also what they mostly do with Lafayette - they know everyone likes the character so they want him in scenes, but don't seem to know what to have him do.

And, Glam, me neither. I was kind of interested when I thought Bill was true dead, because that would have been an unexpected move, but no.

I was so wishing that Bill had bought the farm because I feel like the character is well past his sell by date. Although he did sire Jessica and I'll always be grateful for that because she's awesome. I just felt like overall this whole season never made any sense, not that True Blood has really made much sense since . . . ever, but there used to at least be some point to it. What was the point of Lafayette being haunted by dead Jesus and then getting his lips sewn shut by Grampa Brujo? What ever happened to Lafayette's mom? (Alfre Woodard is awesome in that role, btw) Why bring Russell Edgington back only to have him be done in by Eric and his horrid sister and a bunch of faeries at the lamest 40 Deuce knock off in history all while trying to make Steve Newlin a Talbot substitute? And I was so excited by the return of Reverend Newlin because the Fellowship of the Sun storyline was one of my favorites ever, but what a totally wasted comeback. The Warlow storyline seems deeply uninteresting and only tangentially connected to the whole Authority plot. (Christopher Meloni wasted!) What is the point of the Bellefleurs at all anymore? I don't give two hoots about Andy and his faerie babies or about Terry and Arlene vs. the Ifrit (and I love both Andy and Terry to bits). I never did care too much about Sookie so there's that. And while I like the idea of Pam and Tara, it felt very much unearned. And I can't imagine that Pam would be into that much PDA with her baby vamp. I'm just saying. Sam and Luna? Eh. Cute wolf cub, though. Alcide and the wolf pack? Eh. Emma's grandmom seems pretty awesome, though.

I hope someone clocks Billith in his mouth, knocks out one of his ridiculously long sabertooth fangs, and turns him into HillBillith. So much hate. I will probably watch the next season because I'm so deep in it now, I might as well stick it out til the end.

I stopped watching True Blood ages ago, but it sounds like one of those overwrought daytime soap operas where the writers just throw everything they can think of plus a weird dream they had last night at the actors and see what happens. It's like a modern-day Dark Shadows.

My basic review of this season of True Blood is at least this happened.

So many things popped up but then wandered off screen like an energetic but distractable (were?) puppy. The logic of what made it to the end seemed pretty random.

I'm getting, for instance, that Russell deserved a lot more than the death he got--that he was not just big bad calibre for more than one season, that he was cool enough to bring back, but he seemed to have been taken out on a tangent. I mean, he's leading the Vampire People Conference, and there's destruction of mainstreaming, and apparently this all has a point, but he gets distracted by a random fairy that just showed up two episodes ago, sounds all important, dies at his hand, and then pretty vamp suddenly gets the revenge he's wanted for a while? That's more left turns and right turns of misdirection than Supernatural and the Mother of All Monsters (that sneak big bad turned out cooler, IMO).

And the group thats run vampires since forever gets taken down by a bit of internal dissension and a concussed guy with a handgun? The zerg rush should be no problem. Humanity is safe.
