When True Blood began in 2008, we were introduced to a new political world in which vampires had finally come “out of the coffin,” thanks to a Japanese made synthetic drink called Tru Blood. The series spared no expense on blood, gore and the most scandalous sex scenes we could think of. That said, I felt…
The seventh episode of True Blood‘s final season feels like preparation for the real action. After some episodes which focused on the characters and their feelings, it is now necessary to establish a few key issues to be resolved in an epic finale. The struggle never ends for our poor Sookie Stackhouse, who now not only…
How does Eric pull off that bored yet exhausted look throughout the entire fight scene? He only looks mildly irritated—that is until Pam calls out to him in chains. When they left Pam and Eric alone in the, erm, sun room to wait for sunrise, I thought that it was going to be some old-fashioned,…
After last episode’s battle, it’s now time for us to mourn our losses. But remember, this is Bon Temps. There’s no way anyone can just do that. What happens instead? Sookie is forced to throw a party at her place when all she really wants to do is cry herself to sleep. Her friends decide…
“Death Is Not the End” started out on an extremely emotional note. I mean, who knew we’d feel bad for Maxine (Hoyt’s mom)? God, I totally forgot that Hoyt didn’t remember Jason and company. I’m just glad that we’ll be ending the series with him back home. It isn’t really Bon Temps without that tall…
I realize that the above title might feel misleading, due to the recent release of HBO’s new series from Damon Lendilof, but I couldn’t help naming this episode “The Leftovers”. Why? Because that is exactly what it was about: what remains when everything else is lost. We start by coping with the huge loss of…
The Day of Blood continues. –Count Spatula The idea of letting someone bite into your neck in order to drain blood from it is, in reality, pretty disgusting, as well as life-threatening. That being said, it is apparently becoming more and more popular in the film and television world to have us allow vampires to stick to…
DAMN IT. I thought that I was so clever, we all did. Tara’s not dead, no way. They wouldn’t kill off Tara without even showing it, right? Pam just confirmed that Tara met her final end and I am so unhappy. It was said so early into the episode that I almost turned the television off and…
Okay, okay. I tried. I tried to finish the binge-watch first and then dive right into the final season of True Blood, but Sunday night is now Westeros-less. What else am I supposed to do? As eight o’clock rolled around, my fingers started itching toward the remote and, well, I am weak. So I mixed…

Bill’s maker, Lorena, shows up at the hotel via Eric’s invite. We see a flashback of Lorena and Bill from the 1920’s during prohibition, partying with a married couple. They go back to the couple’s home where they eat and kill them both and then have sex on the blood drenched bed. These flashbacks continue…
Season two begins right where we left off: Tara, Sookie, and Andy are all staring at the dead person’s foot hanging out of his car. Oh, and the girls are screaming their heads off. Tara is immediately afraid that it might be Lafayette’s and Andy tries to find a pulse – until he notices that…
