The True Blood Finale ultimately made me question whether I would waste my time watching the next season. I have read many comments on others opinions of the finale and come to the conclusions each time. There are too many plot lines.
Sookie & Vampires
Jason & Were-Panthers
Sam & his history & Tommy
Lafayette & Jesus (moving into witchcraft for the next season)
Arleen & Terry having a baby
Arleen and the Witch Waitress
Tara and whatever she is doing
Anything else in a Misc. category
The scenes no longer flow together; the momentum of the show is lost by moving from one plot to the next. From the intensity of some of Sookie’s scenes with the vampires to the slow crawl of Sam and Tara eating breakfast. It was frustrating for the viewer. I may be interested in Sam’s life and him coming out, but not right after the high interest I had with Sookie’s scene. I found the entire episode choppier then normal and very difficult to follow (not that I didn’t understand, but that it didn’t flow.)
I am very glad that Eric didn’t die and that Bill’s secret was finally found out, Sookie may never date a vampire again and the witches may pose to have an interesting plot for the next season. The episode help potential but the execution was a little off for me, and as I have found, for many viewers. I used to be very proud to call myself a Trubie, I follow the TrueBloodHBO tweets on Twitter and keep as up to date as I can in the True Blood universe. The advertising for the show is true genius and I respect the genre they are pursuing as after Buffy they’ve been lacking in that department.
True Blood, please surprise me with an amazing première episode in June or you’ve lost a loyal fan. I was going to try and be Sookie for Halloween until I watched the finale. Reel me back in and I’m yours.
