This season of
True Blood is the last….not sure how I feel about that yet. One thing is for
sure –this season seems to be a cross between TB and the Walking Dead. What?
How’s that you ask?
Well, It’s the
attack of the Hep-V Vamps! They’re invading towns everywhere, sucking the life
out of humans, obliterating the non-infected vamps. At the first ever “mixer”
thrown by Mayor Sam Merlotte (this still makes me chuckle!), the match-maker
vamp/human hook-ups were interrupted by the invasion. It’s a massacre! Sam’s
woman Nicole, Arlene, and Holly are all taken away, and we find later that they’re
chained in the basement of Fangtasia. When the beg the evil vamp not to kill
them, he goes soft on the women an instead, rips the throat out of Deputy Kevin
Among the dead
(or in Vampire world, splooshed) is Tara. DAMN IT. This is the second Tara
killing that surprised me this year. The first of course being SOA Tara. Now TB Tara. Take a
moment for the fallen Taras, will ya?

Okay, back to
blood. Everyone left alive goes inside Merlotte’s. Er. Make that BelleFleur’s.While
everyone is freaking out, Sookie does some of her mind-reading and finds that
most everyone is blaming her, including boy-toy Alcide. Puurrrrrrr. She walks
home all pouty, trips over a dead chick, and gives Alcide a tongue-lashing when
he gets home. Not that kind of tongue lashing – um, well. At least not yet.
They argue, he goes to bed pissed, she gets naked, he’s already naked, and they kiss and make-up. Sookie-Sookie now! Again, puuuurrrrr. Alcide. Team Wolf Y’all!
Jessica
apologized to Andy for eating his young. Andy’s not real forgiving and you can’t
really blame him because she sucked the fairy blood out of his babies. She
volunteered to watch over the only one she didn’t eat, Adilyn, and Andy accept
but tells Adilyn “Do not invite her in this house!” Like a typical teen, she
doesn’t listen to him and invites her in after Jessica has a show-down with
some HVamp the size of a house! Jess is in just as the sun is rising, HVamp is
out a goes out in a ball of flames outside the front door.

| old James / new James |
Jessica’s
boyfriend James (surprise surprise, new actor here),, is paired with Lafayette. Walking
into to Lafayette’s, James remarks that he likes what he’s done with the place. Faye says it has that “ghetto je ne sais quoi”. He tells James, “I know you need to eat,
but it is mother-fucking mandatory that I
get my brain out of this plane of existence right the fuck now. So give me a sec
while I altered, then I’ll give you lunch.”
James motions to
the bong and says,
“Can I?” and proceeds to get high with Faye. Faye is not
grieving over his cousin’s death because he did that the first time, remember.
He’s empty. James talks
about losing everyone in Nam, except he wasn’t there because he was a pacifist
draft dodger. When he goes to his buddy’s parent’s house to give his
condolences on losing them to the war, the friend’s dad beats the crap out of
him and he’s saved by a vampire.
Andy goes out
with Bill to find Arlene and Holly. Sam is caught by Vince as he’s shifting
back to a human. Vince threatens to out him to everyone, but Sam is able to
talk him out of doing that for now. Jason is patrolling with some vamp-tramp
and when she oversteps his man boundaries and exploded and lays the smack down on her. And
by that I mean, he smacked her ass against the hood of his cop car and had some
long overdue / angry sexy times.
“I’m going to fuck you. And you’re going to fuck me back.”
Angry sex, angry
sex, um, a bit much even for TB.
Meanwhile, Pam
is in Marrakesh having a Russian-roulette show down in a bar. She comes out the
victor, and gets some intel on her maker…Eric. Remember what he was doing at
the end of last season? Yah. You're welcome.
That’s before he
lost his sun-shield and started to burn so we really have no idea what’s up
with him at this point. Pam finds that the only children have clean blood in
town, and despite the need to feed, she passes on the kiddie-blood.
Mama Lettie-Mae heads
back to freak-land and starts hearing/seeing things and needs to be calmed by
the Rev. The next day she goes to get her church on, appearing more normal. During their church service the next day, Sookie walks in and puts her
hand on Mama-Mae’s shoulder. She promptly turns around, grits her teeth and snarls: “don’t you
touch me biatch!” and tells her what she really thinks of Sook. Sookie, doing her mind
reading thing again, hears that everyone there feels the same way. She goes to
leave, but looks back at everyone, tells them she can hear their thoughts, and
that she’s lived here all her life, wah wah wah, I’m to blame wah wah wah, but
I want to help.
So what’s going
to happen this season? Will Eric return? Will all the vampires not infected be
killed by the infected? Will Sookie continue to whine and get naked? (that’s a
given).Only this season will tell....
Oh, and one more for the road:
Season 7 - the final season of True Blood.
More updates and snark to come each week!
