All comedy is derived from fear.
Just so we are clear, they did kill Alcide so Sookie can end up with Bill or Sam, yes?

Final season, nobody's off-limits. They didn't have any plans for him after 3 episodes into filming, so they had him provide a random episode cliffhanger

I think you mean with Eric and Bill, at the same time, 24/7, just as the show has always promised but never quite delivered on. Jason can join in too.

I actually really liked that ending scene, it came as a shocker like the olden TB days and I didn't think that was just possible anymore. Someone should really do a compilation of Sookie ugly-crying and put it on Youtube.

I'm also going to bet that Sookie will end up as some well-respected queen of all vampires by the end of this or the hero of mankind or whatever because of her precious fairy blood/vagina. Which I guess would be appropriate and in keeping with who she's been since the start of the show and how much she's craved belonging.

I dunno how I feel about Lala and Jessica's Recast Boyfriend. He's getting himself in the worst kind of situation us gays can get into. It's pretty bad to watch.

I'm thrilled that Hoyt's mom's finally dead. gently caress yeah Nora errr whoever you are.

Oh and I'd just like to say that if it weren't for Alexander Skarsgard, I probably wouldn't have kept tuned-in for as long as I have. He steals the show because he's a fabulous actor and anyone doubting this should watch any of his other works... Which is why I would yet again say that an Eric-centric Angel style spin-off would be loving incredible. I love the way his character evolved throughout the show from a badass dick of a vampire who only cares about himself to a badass dick of a vampire who actually has a pretty big heart.

I'm mostly working not on camera this season, sadly.

This week we finish filming the finale, and then I'm unemployed for realsies until I find another show.

Is it common for shows to still be filming 3/10ths of the way through a season? I mean I realize sitcoms do it, but that's because there's 20 + episodes and the story takes place in one location.

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one sat.

He chose the path of perpetual contentment.

Alcide died as he lived, naked and in a position that strategically hides his penis.

So the killed the gay soccer-dad vampire Holly/Arlene got that glamoured Terry? Ok.

They killed Maxine Fortenberry, vindictive sMother of the year.

BUT THEY KILLED ALCIDE! That's too loving far True Blood! TOO FAR! We all want Bill to die before Alcide! He was super hot, like 'man of the year' hot and you took that away from us!

gently caress yes. I hope every remaining episode is like that, and the last episode of True Blood is only Sookie and Eric and horrible (ex)christian super bitch left alive and then they kill each other.

(This would be improved if you swap out Sookie with anyone else, but that's not realistic)

It's pretty standard for us, at least. I think every season we've started airing at least a month before we wrap up filming.

I've honestly never cared for Alcide since he was introduced and all the other regulars have gotten so dumb that I can get behind this. I think Eric/Pam are the only ones I'm sort of rooting for. More so now that they're on their Sarah Newlin death mission.

It's too bad Sookie saw it, otherwise they could just say he left to live on a nice farm where he can chase dumb girlfriends all day everyday.

Welp, I guess the scrawny nerd showrunners were insanely jealous of Alcide's chiseled bod or something because that was kinda pointless and abrupt. Better than Tara's non-existent death scene though.

RIP one of the most sensible guys on the show.

And :lol: at Andy leaving the guy who shot him to die, because Action's Have Consequences, Kids :eng101:

I like how they thought Alcide's death was suitable as a cliffhanger with sad ending music. As if anyone gives a fraction of a gently caress. Do the creators seriously think anyone cares about these lovely characters?

Jason, Jessica or Andy would've sucked. I've accepted Pam and Erik probably won't make it out alive.

You're assuming it's going to be a quick and clean rescue. My bet is on either Sookie loving it up somehow or what's-her-face will go into labor mid-escape. She's already been having some weird pains and stuff down in the dungeon.

I hope everyone dies, then the final scene is some humans and vampires sitting around together in a bar in some other part of the country, where everything is clearly still pretty normal, and they're watching a news report about Bon Temps being destroyed and going "What the hell was wrong with that place, anyway? Was literally everyone there crazy?"

Honestly I thought they were going to pull aa Dexter and spin up a completely new plot line about Alcide struggling with being a were-vamp, despite it being the last season.

That of course leads to:

Or maybe Hurricane Adele, depending on which way you'd like to go with it.

Can a werewolf even be turned into a vampire? I thought they were like immune to being turned.

Also we did get confirmation that Tara is actually dead, so there's no coming back for her. But I'm still surprised that they didn't actually show her death.
