    Maybe we could have a season where [gasp] we don't worry so much about who is putting what into Sookie's hoo-ha.

    ...

    [waits for laughter to die down]

    But seriously, Sookie just needs to start dating girls.

    Didn't Jason's vampwhore kiss Sookie? I could see that going somewhere :winky:

    She's not a whore, she's a perfectly respectable catholic vampire.

    But yes, she did violate Sookie's personal space in a very amusing manor. I enjoyed it more for how uncomfortable Jason was than for the girl-on-girl action.

    I think the part that made him the most uncomfortable was that he couldn't look away.

    Exactly. "This is simultaneously the hottest and most inappropriate thing that has ever happened to me, and I've had sex with my teacher when I was underage."

    She's a rapist forcing Jason to enter into a nice Stockholm syndrome crafted "relationship" that he never had a choice about, but it's True Blood so yeah.

    I think you may be watching the wrong show.
    Jason's killed lots of vampires, and is a guy who will jump into silly, silly action if he thinks that's the appropriate response. We haven't seen him glamored, so we gotta assume he wants to be with Violet. Expecting sexual favors while withholding them is hella abusive, I think, but she did tell him beforehand that she would do exactly what she's now doing.

    So while he was in prison, it was a bad scene--but now that he's kitted out his basement as a lair for her, this shit is partly his own fault.

    Actually while Violet didn't glamour him she told him he belongs to her up front, which is a threat. As far as he knows she'll kill him if he tries to escape. But it's True Blood so we get shit where he tells Sookie he thinks he's falling in love with her and he's suddenly an emasculated pussy eating machine who will do anything she asks.

    Maybe one of the writers has a sub/dom fetish and is putting it on Jason now. It's True Blood, so anything goes.

    If Jason wanted to kill her, it wouldn't be hard. Knock a hole in the wall/floor during the day time and watch her fry.

    I agree that it could be Stockholm-y, but I don't think they were together long enough in jail, I think he's legitimately interested in someone who won't give him what he wants when he takes off his shirt.

    So, with that little 6 months later jump, does everyone realize that we were denied seeing Jason's sex dreams about Eric?

    I'm assuming he's had them in plenty, but will probably continue having them in Season 7.

    They might use that as first "hint" that Eric is still alive.


    Last night I was trying to explain this season to someone who stopped watching after last season. It was hilariously challenging. On the bright side, I did get to say "Faerie Vampire"

    Whenever I try to explain this show to someone who's never seen it, I feel like a jackass. It also usually ends with them asking something like, "So wait, why do you watch this?".

    My justification: It's crazy and trashy. But incredibly entertaining.

    True Blood is a vampire soap opera. Just because I like the best shows on TV most doesn't mean I don't get to like the bad but highly entertaining ones too.

    I think that's exactly it, Jason's never had a relationship before with a girl who didn't want his penis at all times.

    And while it's possible she's forcing this all on him, he's no stranger to killing vampires if he legitimately thought his life was in danger from her.

    I still think that it did not want to go there initially. personally I blame Lafayette surviving for the new and improved True Blood. just one more reason Lafayette makes everything better.

    and boobs. also euro dick! and if the gay Cartwright son could see this show? Sammy-Jo would have been an extra!

    PS: Sammy-Jo was the one I think it was, right? Sookie used her light(tm) and fried mah brain.

    Hmm, not sure if rubbing V on a wound to heal it counts the same as drinking V. I don't think the show has ever said one way or another.

    Someone missed the V induced hippy magical field sex scene with jason, if you think this went off the rails with Lafayette living.

    That was the point where the show learned that the best way to get audiences to overlook/accept silliness is to add boobs.

    'True Blood' to end run in 2014
    HBO announced today that True Blood will end its run after seven seasons in 2014.

    The final 10 episodes will air next summer.

    “True Blood has been nothing short of a defining show for HBO,” said HBO Programming President Michael Lombardo in a statement. “Alan Ball took the books by Charlaine Harris, assembled a brilliant cast led by the magnificent Anna Paquin in the role of Sookie Stackhouse, and crafted a show that has taken its many devoted fans on an unforgettable journey. Alan passed the baton to Brian Buckner, who led our fantastic writers and crew in crafting a spectacular sixth season, and he will lead us through the seventh and final season of this amazing show. Together with its legions of fans, it will be hard to say goodbye to the residents of Bon Temps, but I look forward to what promises to be a fantastic final chapter of this incredible show.”

    The sixth season of True Blood ended last month with an average gross audience of 10.6 million viewers per episode. The pay network says it remains one of its most popular series.

    Damn, that means the chances of them introducing Dermot are low.

    Yes.

    Well, not with Alcide on screen, because if that happened everyone would explode in rainbows and kittens.

    It's about time really. Last season was just ripe with "What the hell?" moments. Still, kind of sad to see it go.

    The only thing that teaser showed me is that I didn't really notice how many people died in True Blood until just now.

    Last minute of the series finale. Jessica is wandering a battlefield, drenched in blood. It is daylight; much fairie blood was spilled and consumed that day. She finds a pond and looks at her reflection in its mirror-like surface, realizing that she's filthy. She starts pulling off the remains of the trim sundress she was wearing when the fight started, and there's no way we won't see her completely... CUT TO CREDITS.

    I am just starting the third season of this. The fact that it gets so messed up is what drew me to it.
