I don't give a fuck about you or your problems." Despite a few points of interest and fun backstories, the fact that there are fewer and fewer recognizable faces makes it hard to give a fuck at all. But the battle viewers are having to take on is one Sookie mentions to Jessica: "Almost every I've ever known or loved is dead. "Death Is Not The End" culminated in a quick and dirty battle with some decent choreography and proliferation of flames usually saved until the penultimate or final episodes of the season. She's already doing something to help, let's move on. Does anyone care about Jessica's sudden horror at her feeding on the fairy girls? It seems so long ago, and should have come before her protection of Adalene. Then there was Jessica's moral quandary about feeding, and about not trusting herself to do so. Sookie visiting Lisa and Coby was also a gentle moment that helped ground things back in Bon Temps - it showed the more realistic effects of the Hep V vampires' takeover, the same way Holly's horror and mental blockage did.
Some of these plot points are better left buried in the past, while others, like the reappearance of Terry when Arlene was on the brink of death, ended up being a nice second send-off for him. This was a forgotten plot point from seasons past, along with Sam's pregnant activist girlfriend, who seemed to materialize from nowhere in this hour in the basement of Fangtasia (which Pam still cares enough for to put out its fires). Once again, why have an extended scene where Jason and Sam visited Rosie (a character we don't know), wife of Kevin (a character we barely knew), when all the time that was given to Tara was zilch, and even Alcide's demise was met with a poker face from Sookie? How about spending more time with characters we actually do know and care about?Īlcide and Maxine's deaths allowed for the brief return of two other familiar faces, Alcide's estranged father, and poor Hoyt, who had been glamoured to the point of not remembering Jason or almost anything else about Bon Temps before he set off for that oil rig. Here it was relevant and entertaining on its own terms (because it deepened a story we already knew, and even gave Ginger some context), but it also gave more time to beloved characters, and their fashion choices through the ages (what is True Blood without that?)Įlsewhere, though, things didn't make as much sense. Hoyt ( Jim Parrack) hopes for a future with Jessica ( Deborah Ann Woll), spurning Maxine's ( Dale Raoul) pleas to wed Summer ( Melissa Rauch)."Death Is Not The End" achieved what the flashbacks in prior episodes this season did not. Plagued by visions, Lafayette ( Nelsan Ellis) turns to Jesus ( Kevin Alejandro) for help, and learns his boyfriend has more to offer than companionship.
Jason ( Ryan Kwanten) finds a new calling after warning Crystal's ( Lindsay Pulsipher) family about an impending drug raid. Tara ( Rutina Wesley) discovers some surprising news about Sam ( Sam Trammell), whose rage resurfaces upon learning of Tommy's ( Marshall Allman) latest transgression. Fed up with being "vampire crack," Sookie ( Anna Paquin) considers a new life without Bill ( Stephen Moyer) – or any other vampire. It sounds like we may be in for yet another cliffhanger season finale!Įric ( Alexander Skarsgard) grapples with his conscience while plotting his perfect revenge against Russell ( Denis O'Hare). The episode, which is set to debut on September 12, was written by Alan Ball and was directed by Anthony Hemingway. The season finale of True Blood is going to be insane.
