wouldn't surprise me if the season finale ended with a continuation and next season is just part 2 of this season

8/21/2012 10:06:33 PM

Yeah, Nora started off strong... and not just because of the unnecessary sex scene in the very first episode with her. She had a little edge there, then she turned out to just be a sheep.

Sam, Jason, Jessica, Pam or Russell Edgington are pretty much my favorite characters at this point.

I've always liked Jason and Jessica, Russell was awesome from the start, and Pam has grown on me a lot (that character's development has been very good over the seasons). Sam has fallen off for me mostly due to his shitty story-lines. I guess I still like the character in general, but the stuff they've had him doing the past couple of seasons have just seemed like distractions from the main plot to me.

8/21/2012 11:10:46 PM

Well he's up to meet/confront Bill next episode so things could get interesting.

8/22/2012 7:34:22 AM

Honestly they could kill off either Bill OR Eric and I'd be OK with it. Something to dramatically shift the storyline...

And definitely Tara, Nora, Alcide (or any Were) can be killed off.

Sam has become so obnoxious he could disappear as well. Or maybe Sam rises up financially and starts buying things in the town and becomes mayor or something.

As you can see, I'm just bored with this show now. It seems like it has potential, but at this rate should be done in another season.

8/22/2012 8:16:17 AM

i think Rosalyn should become queen of the world and Steve Newlin should be her vice queen of the world

8/22/2012 8:55:46 AM

^^agreed. Especially Sookie. And why the fuck does she use her childhood name for her grandmother when talking to other people? When you talk to people that don't know your grandparents you don't refer to them by the childhood nicknames you have for them, unless you want to look like a complete retard.

Somebody tell me how that older faery could be so completely stupid. She knows all about Russell Eddington and thinks she can just go out there and shoot him? Seriously? Terribly weak writing there.

^I dont have a crush on him, so I dont care if he dies.

Plus, it doesn't add much drama or excitement to kill off someone you didn't like anyways. That's why I think they should kill off a major character.

Everyone I've talked to that watches this show seems to be losing interest. I don't think it's a bad show, it's just dwindling.

8/22/2012 2:31:09 PM

So... at what point did this show jump the shark?

8/23/2012 8:21:50 AM

I don't think it's jumped yet. I think it's skiing towards it now though. There's still time to miss it.

8/23/2012 8:52:23 AM

I don't know where I stand on this past episode or the season as a whole. I'll still tune in next sunday and next season though. And I hope they end it next season. It's time to move on.

8/23/2012 11:02:14 AM

Once again, this show has far too little content stretched across far too many episodes.

i like this season if for no other reason than this...


NOW EVERYBODY HATES BILL!


i haven't liked him since the very beginning and now nobody else does either

8/23/2012 11:44:16 AM

Dropping off Season 1 with my Grama this weekend, we'll see how she likes it.

8/23/2012 11:57:23 AM

1 hr til the end of whatever the hell this season is trying to do.

8/26/2012 8:00:49 PM

Was not expecting that.

8/26/2012 9:10:23 PM

straight up count duku style

faster than you can say plot holes

8/26/2012 9:15:12 PM

ok seriously
what the fucking fuck

what the holy vampiric fuck was that

8/26/2012 9:57:55 PM

And that was even more unexpected.

8/26/2012 9:59:41 PM

Bill just gained massive XP and leveled up

8/26/2012 10:02:19 PM

Holy shit!!! That was whaaaaaaat!!!

Ok...season 5 redeemed* IMHO




*excey for faerie birth. Stuuuuupid

[Edited on August 26, 2012 at 10:07 PM. Reason : ]

8/26/2012 10:03:13 PM

I had heard this season would end in a cliffhanger, but I wasn't expecting that.

And agreed, the faery birth was ridiculous. Glad the Alcide storyline is wrapping up. Just wish they could have resolved the Luna/Emma one and gotten it out of the way too.

8/26/2012 10:11:54 PM

^ I'm sure Sam/Luna/Emma will end up tagging along with the rest of the gang on the way out of the authority at the beginning of next season.


I'm glad they didn't just wrap it up with Bill having some plan all along and then all of sudden we're just "reset" for a new adventure next season.


not new news, but Alan Ball is leaving as show runner.

The plus side of that is that the show has been kind of "meh" overall lately (imo - and from what I can gather from others), and that has to fall on the shoulders of Ball at the end of the day. So a change of guard could at least make things different, which leaves the possibility of making things better. The flip side of that is "What if Ball was solely responsible for the good parts that had a lot of potential?" I guess we'll find out next season.

bill will also be a daywalker i bet

8/26/2012 10:45:37 PM

Nice! This ep had more LOL moments than others this season, mostly because of the stupidity. Also nice hearing an old school 90s song over the credits... Save Yourself.

8/26/2012 10:50:34 PM

First 2 minutes =
Next 55 minutes
(Except for Sam killing the chancellor = )
Faery birth =
Last 2 minutes =



Overall =






What was up with Jason seeing hallucinating his parents as ignorant rednecks? I thought they were supposed to be all supportive and stuff. I didn't get that whole bit.

[Edited on August 27, 2012 at 7:05 AM. Reason : GG]

8/27/2012 7:01:16 AM

so now the newly made vampire god also has 4 newborn half fairy great, great, great, great grand daughters

that could to be interesting

8/27/2012 7:24:10 AM

I figured the whole season whoever was "the chosen one" and actually drank all the blood would just be used as a vessel to get her spirit back to the world. Seemed like she was just trying to convince anyone to drink enough of her that she could consume their body. So should be interesting to see what happens. Going to go out on a limb and presume that now Bill is the strongest of the vampires since Russell ate it, plus how terrified Eric looked considering he's pretty much shown his dominance of strength/speed over Bill throughout the show.

8/27/2012 7:53:08 AM

I had forgotten the Compton/Bellefleur ties, so that is interested.

^and I think Eric was probably more terrified for Sookie, instead of himself. But it does seem like re-incarnate Bill is pretty strong/evil.

8/27/2012 8:04:09 AM

the only way they could keep stephen moyer's old ass on the show is to keep him covered in blood so you can't see how old he's actually getting

8/27/2012 8:31:09 AM

He's definitely stronger. His fangs were even longer.

I love the Pam/Eric reunited "hello"...their relationship is so excellent.

8/27/2012 8:45:34 AM

I guess now that Jason is the kid from the 6th Sense we can take him off the list of non-supernatural beings in Bon Temps.

I was pretty sad to see Russell go so quickly. As a villain he obviously wouldn't be around forever but I figured he'd at least have a pretty cool fight that killed him. Beast-mode Bill vs. Russell could have been cool.

One thing I was reminded of -- in the previous episode Jason and Jessica were tricking those two vampire escorts with her. When they were lying in the grave then Jason jumped up and shot them -- does his regular police issue pistol have wooden bullets? Regular bullets in a gun wouldn't have done anything to the vampire escorts. I guess it is feasible that with all the vampire activity going on Jason would have had wooden bullets in his gun anyway.

8/27/2012 8:46:12 AM

I figure a wooden bullet would probably kill a regular person when shot too. At least from within 30 feet.

8/27/2012 9:49:53 AM

I think they talked about that a few seasons ago, how all the LEOs carry wooden bullets now.

I don't think I like where they're going with brain addled unstable Jason. And I'm hating the year wait before next season. This is just way too long to wait.

8/27/2012 9:52:10 AM

^^considering it killed shifters (the obamas/Sam storyline earlier this season) I'd say you were correct.

[Edited on August 27, 2012 at 10:00 AM. Reason : ]

8/27/2012 10:00:13 AM

And did everyone see the "season 6 clip" at the end of the credits? I think you had to be watching it on hbogo.

8/27/2012 12:36:53 PM

I did, along with the deleted scene. Seems as if Nora knows something about Warlow...

8/27/2012 12:44:12 PM

^ I didn't (on tv), I watched afterwards for a bit but it was all previews for other HBO shows and I turned it off.

Anything interesting/worth checking out?

8/27/2012 12:45:48 PM

The deleted scene is worth watching. It's only about 30 seconds. It's at the very end of the episode, after the credits on HboGo.

8/27/2012 1:02:39 PM

Deleted scene? Missed that one. Just saw the "what do you know about warlow?" one

Where's the deleted scene?

8/27/2012 1:17:18 PM

At the end of the credits. It was titled "Deleted Scene: Meanwhile At the Authority" and cut to the group in the elevator.

8/27/2012 1:21:42 PM

Ok that's the "season 6" clip. At least that's how it was advertised before the full episode started. I thought you were talking about something else.

8/27/2012 1:23:02 PM

Ah okay. That makes sense!

ETA: It has been separated out on HBOgo, so you don't have to click through last night's episode. "Season 5 Finale Bonus Scene and a thrilling hint at what's to come in Season 6"

Billith is officially my favorite name mashup in the history of name mashups.

8/27/2012 5:08:56 PM

I saw the extra clip on hbo go. It's probably going to be shown early in S6E1, but it was worth a watch for one more reason to look forward to next season.

I, too, am a fan of the "billith" moniker.

8/27/2012 7:30:06 PM

I've just discovered how cool the interactive features are on some of these.

8/27/2012 7:57:57 PM

When did Sookie's smell become so potent.

otherwise some vamp would have ate her up a long time ago???

8/27/2012 8:24:47 PM

I think a lot of it had to do with all of the extra faeries that were in the meadow yet still invisible to Nora. Sookie was the only non-vamp, other than jason, and she does smell like it but not as strong. As far as at Sookie's house later, she was probably just still thinking about it.

8/27/2012 8:39:30 PM

Yep, Sookie's faery scent increases when she's been around other faeries.
