I just watched this last night and I agree that there is far more wrong than right in this shitheap. However, one thing that is really sticking in my craw how does Jason have like a 6 year old kid if this is only 4 years later??

Also, Sookie ends up with a lumberjack and Dexter became a lumberjack so Sookie ends up with Dexter. Hot mess crossover coming soon!

Basically just a baby in a trenchcoat.


I think Jason's kid was just a case of bad casting rather than intentionally giving him a kid older than the timeskip. Kind of like when shows get people in their 20s or 30s to play teenagers.

Plus I'd imagine an actual 4 year old would be kind of hard to work with.

I could barely handle listening to Dexter's internal monologue for an hour a week a few months of the year. I can't imagine having to do it every day.

"Sookie made breakfast. Breakfast is the first meal of the day. I smile because that's what other people do but it's just a mask for my dark passenger. :geno: "

(I tried to combine Dexter's angsty early season monologues with the late season monologues that were basically just narrating what you saw on the screen. :) )

Oh yeah, I'm sure it was something like that, too. I guess the difference is that people in their 20s/30s can kind of look similar enough to pass (Ryan Kwanten is 37, for example :monocle:) and there's a huge difference between a 3-4 year old and a 6 year old. Small potatoes compared to the zillions of other issues from the rest of the finale, though.

I'm not sure I could even hate-watch The Sookie and Dexter Show.

I agree the kid looked way too old, but to me that was the least of the bad things in that finale. :v:

Actually a True Blood Dexter crossover would be hilarious just because Sookie could hear all his monologues.

Maybe the tiny amount of fairy blood in him made his 4 year old child appear to be 6.

You're posting in this thread so it seems safe to say that you'd watch every season and complain constantly on an internet forum about each one

Those kids weren't his kids with Bridget, the hick werepanther ladies came back and saddled Jason with a bunch of the kids that he had with them.

Hadley wasn't so much a character as a convenient plot device to use as needed.

I interviewed a NK escapee who came to my school and made a thread. Then life got in the way and the translation had to be postponed. I did finish it in the end, but nobody is going to pay 10 bux to update my.avatar
I love it when shows truly stop giving a poo poo. Thank god for fast forward buttons.

I always wonder with bad tv like this if the creators are aware of how terrible their poo poo is. Or did they finish writing this episode thinking: "Geez, people are gonna love this finale".????

Usually, when these writers troll us, it's pretty obvious and I usually find it pretty funny (It's a bed...Can we make love in it?). I don't know what the gently caress to think about this finale. Maybe they decided to make the finale some sort of artistic nod to the reception of the final Sookie Stackhouse book, which severely pissed off fans.

Can you explain the final book and why the fans were so upset?

Sookie ends up with Sam, cue angry Eric shippers.

(I haven't touched the last book considering how boring the previous two or three before that were. It used to be a guilty pleasure series but Charlaine Harris clearly lost interest in her own creation at some point.)

Sookie ended up with Sam. That's why everyone was so angry. Apparently I am just really good at picking out what's gonna happen in stories by mediocre writers since I already figured that was how the romance part of the series was gonna end by the first book and Harris didn't really do anything to make it look like any other outcome would happen. But It shocked and angered a large portion of her readership and she recieved death threats, I think. You know, the standard method of voicing displeasure when on the internet. At least since Harris is post menopausal, there weren't any rape threats.

I would have been happy with 'so bad it's good'. Hell, I would have been happy with 'so bad it's bad'. But this? This was just a boring mess. Even Eric and Pam's storyline was complete poo poo, saved only by the virtue of them actually being Eric and Pam.
You put it perfectly. I watched this show for the batshit insanity and a lot of it was for the 'so bad it's good' aspect. I actually really liked a lot of the poo poo people complained about in the various threads. I even liked Sam's brother. I really expected the writers to take the final season as an opportunity to be as stupid and ridiculous as possible, and the closest we got to my expectation was Sarah Newlin's freakout.
