Wait, did they seriously write that reading the diary could help and then start with a date from 2002 before jumping to a 2010 date like 5-6 pages later?

The alternative was writing 10 minutes of diary reading, and there are some things even this show won't do

That was good, much better than the last one.

And also Sookie, wtf, why didn't you listen to Alcide? Uh yes you could very well pack up and move away from Bon Temps where everyone hates you and your best friend just died. Seriously. It is that easy.

Characters like Eric & Arlene really do carry the show on their backs, honestly. Carrie Preston is the unsung hero of the whole show. She steals pretty much every scene she's in.

e: OH and also I think it's so funny how the witches from S4 were absolutely 100% right about the vampires and how they'd end up destroying humanity forever. Speaking of... why doesn't Holly just, I don't know, cast some kind of spell to keep the vamps away like she did back in S4?

Haven't seen tonight's episode yet. All I have to say is there is no way Tara isn't coming back. There is no loving way that off screen death is the last we hear from her.

Oh god no, Eric :( You got the HepV!

With Jessica not healing I hope it's just because she hasn't fed in a while. She'd better not have the Hep too! :(

Still, a decent episode. I guess the vampires can destroy your house or set it alight.

Betty must've been turned during THE AUTHORITY'S power trip.

EDIT - How could I not mention the Eric/Jason scene. All it needed was Alcide.

Haha best opening scene. When did Jason drink a bunch of Eric though?

When the diary started talking about Fangtasia I thought that would be the clue that would help them out, but nope! More SookiexBill One True Love fun!

I'm guessing it's the lack of feeding. It seemed like they were keeping the bite mark around so she'd have something to hide from Andy.

That was a drat good episode that did way more to establish the plot than the previous one. They really should've just done the entire season opener as a star wars type text scroll and jumped straight into this.

I'm fundamentally opposed to spin-offs but I'd be all over a Bellefleur & Stackhouse: Supernatural Crime Hunters show after this one is done.

Pizza forensics moments are what they need to be jamming into every episode instead of this super serious Arlene trapped in a basement bullshit.

I would imagine they could. Start the house on fire and wait until you run out, something like that.

I bet you any money she's going to try to get herself captured so she can find out where the Hep V vamps are hiding everyone. She asked if Bill could "feel her fear", meaning sense where she is and therefore where the captives are.

It's a plan dumb enough only SOOOKEH could come up with it.

I'm guessing they are trying to avoid feeding off randoms in general because hepv is randomly distributed in the population at this point and based on Eric being reluctant to feed at all and Pam's lack of appetite the more you drink the more the process accelerates which is why the school teacher died in arlene's crotch. So I guess the infection should be like a wildfire and burn itself out in a few months. The new occupants of fangtasia are on their last legs. If the hepv stays at random in the human population that's the end of Russell style bloodbathes because vampires finally have a real motivation to not be gigantic murderers whenever they feel like it and they will need the humans to cooperate with them freely to get some clean reliable blood.

That's all conjecture but since its the final season I don't think its a terrible ending. Unless Eric dies.

Doesn't explain why the girl from Saint Alice's house wasn't even close to burned. She just give up or something? If they didn't she could've holed up in her house at night.

I find it hilarious the roaming Hep-V vamps hit Bon Temps and were all "poo poo they have vamperrs too?"

Your life and your quest end here.


Pretty much everyone knows about vampire weaknesses now, right? Even in season one it wasn't exactly a big secret that silver hurt them, even if it wasn't common knowledge. Now there have been people selling anti-vampire weapons and stuff, so basically everyone knows all this poo poo, right? So why aren't there way more UV lights available? Don't want vampires setting fire to your house, set up some UV floodlights pointed outward. Barbed wire fences with silver barbs.

Also, Andy's daughter and Sookie can get into fairyland, right? And there are no fairies there any more. You could shelter a bunch of people there overnight. It's always sunny, but that fairy nightclub was in fairyland and also dark, so let people sleep there.

Or, since a shitload of people must have died by now, move everyone into a central location with UV lights and silver barbed wire and guards posted at night. It's not like you need to defend the whole town, a lot of it must already be abandoned anyway.
