After coming off what seemed to be a waste of a season for Sookie, Alcide and few other characters, the death of Eric Northman and the final season of TB.....what are you guys expecting? Also...what did you guys think of Season 6, especially Warlow/Sookie pairing, the Warlow story in general?

Eric isn't dead. Don't now how he lived but he did. There is no confirmation either way. The writers only said that Skarsgard will be a recurring character for the final season, but would not confirm if he was dead or a ghost. That being said, I dont think he is dead either. Have to believe that Eric somehow survived or somehow returns. I was a fan of the first few seasons, but to me it just seemed to get worse & worse as the years went on....I couldn't get past like the 4th episode this last season Last season was tough to watch. Season 4 had that horrid witch storyline and 6 had the horrid Warlow story. One thing that always irked me about TB was there was just too much going on. Vampire Diaries, which I find to be far superior, has 1 or 2 main stories and then there are 2-3 subplots with the other characters. True Blood has 2 or 3 main stories and then like 5 or 6 subplots. There are too many main characters, followed by a slew on supporting characters. Just too much. |

I feel like a lot of HBO shows do this.....I love Game of Thrones, but they have so many little stories going on, and I feel like it's hard to really get into the charectors because they have so little screen time each episode....
You got storyline wise
Jon Snow
Cat/Rob Stark
Tywinn Lanister
Joffrey/Cersie
Arya Stark
Daeyenaries
Robert Baratheons Brother
Jamie Lannister
Bran Stark
Sansa Stark
And prob 5 or 6 more I forgot, I'm assuming eventually they all come together now, but there is just so much going on in 1 hour

Honestly I saw this coming, I'm surprised it did not get canned after the Witch season. I will try and watch it because I would like to know how it ends but the final season will probable be crammed considering there is two more books the show could of covered.

I think Pam somehow saved Eric. I'm not sure how, but I really don't believe he's dead.
I couldn't stand Alcide or the other werewolves. They just seem like a bunch of 80's dirtbags.
I was kind of disappointed with the whole Warlow story line.
As long as nothing bad happens to Jessica or Lafayette, I'll keep watching.
And I'm still infatuated with Maryann Forrester (Michelle Forbes) from season 2.

Im hoping its better quality than last season which will mean even less Sookie.AP is a wretched actress IMO and she drags down everything she is in.Fiona and her friends are TB fanatics...books the whole 9.they also hate her.
she is billed as the star and focus of this show but she is far from it thankfully.one of the worst main characters EVER.her stupidity seemingly knows no end like.......
Eric,Pam,Bill,Jason,Sam,Lafayette & Jessica are who I watch the show for.I also thought the whole Warlow thing was crap If Im honest.

I'm hearing its 99% cancelled after season 7, but there is still a small dash of hope evidently depending on ratings. I think its done and they are gonna write it to be done. Also, I hear instead of 12, its gonna be 10 episodes. Ouch! I think Pam somehow saved Eric. I'm not sure how, but I really don't believe he's dead. I couldn't stand Alcide or the other werewolves. They just seem like a bunch of 80's dirtbags. I was kind of disappointed with the whole Warlow story line. As long as nothing bad happens to Jessica or Lafayette, I'll keep watching. And I'm still infatuated with Maryann Forrester (Michelle Forbes) from season 2. I didnt like the direction they took Alcide. They planted this guy as the moral fiber of the show. The white knight hero. Then he got painted as this dirtbag in season 6 before rushing him back to hero in last couple episodes. As far as the consensus for hate on Sookie, I am not on that wagon. I like the Sookie character. She does get a bit annoying, but I call her stupidity more innocence. I watch the show for Alcide, Sookie, Lafayette, Eric Northman and Jessica. |

True Blood is such a guilty pleasure for me. I enjoy it, but mostly because it's so ridiculous. The first few seasons were still wacky, but grounded with a solid enough story. Now everyone has some allegiance to something supernatural. Like I said though, it's still fun to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all ends. I also really like how the show pokes fun at that among other elements such as how Sookie is always finding herself in the middle of all things crazy. That and how she's somehow still employed at Merlotte's.

I could never really get into the series, theres nothing new under the sun so to speak, as far as vampires goes, I live it so theres nothing that can really impress me. And once I started seeing witches and were-everything, I called BS and totally tuned out, my gf loves it though so I sometimes sit through it for her sake

There will be a new face on True Blood when the HBO drama returns for its seventh and final season. Luke G rimes will not return to the show as James, the vampire lover of Jessica ( Deborah Ann Woll). His role will be recast, E! News has confirmed.
TVLine first reported the news of G rimes' exit and said the actor asked to be let out of his contact because he was disappointed in the direction his storyline was heading in. G rimes joined the show based on Charlaine Harris ' book series during its sixth season. His character met Woll's in a vampire detainment facility where humans experimented on them.
G rimes' other TV credits includes Brothers & Sisters and the FX pilot Outlaw Country. He's appeared on the big screen in Taken 2 and will be seen in Fifty Shades of Grey as Elliot Grey , Christian Grey's brother.
True Blood will end its seven-year run on HBO this summer with a 10-episode season.
" True Blood has been nothing short of a defining show for HBO," Michael Lombardo, president of HBO Programming, said in a statement when the show's end was announced. " 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."
Besides Woll and Paquin, the cast of True Blood also includes Stephen Moyer, Carrie Preston, Rutina Wesley and Kristin Bauer van Straten.
Last season of the show ended with Alexander Skarsgård's vampire Eric reading in the nude atop a mountain when his special powers bestowed by blood wore off and he began to burn up. Talk about a cliffhanger!
True Blood returns to HBO with new episodes summer 2014.
Odd. The guy's name is Luke G r i m e s , but comes up as "spam".

I like that the show doesn't take itself too seriously.

Good he was pretty bland, I'd rather Jessica be with Jason anyways. |

Those addressed. I'm bummed, as it's one of my 5 favorite shows. I'm HOPING the last season does good ratings well enough that we may see a spin off. They have plenty of quality characters to work off of. And, a "besides the point" -- S6 was one of my favorite seasons of the show. I think it's actually gotten better since the witch season. Not went down hill. I appreciate the scope of it getting bigger. The first couple seasons felt so -- small. I don't like Sookie enough to focus on her like the earlier seasons, either. She wore out quickly on me. |
