This week’s True Blood has a twisty ending that leaves us guessing.
Plus, Hoyt’s return has welcome surprises of its own.
Almost Home?Almost Home?
Which is a first in about…three or four years for this show?
Well played,True Blood, well played.
However, as with every seeming glass from this Asian corporation, there are imperfections to be noted to.
So, to get those problems out of the way…
Sadly, we probably mostly felt like looking at our collective watches.
But I suspect this is the last we will see of Tara onTrue Blood….ever.
And these are truly happy tidings, indeed.
More good news spread into the Violet story as well.
Not for Violet herself, but in the revelation by how quickly she died!
Martin would have cringed).
He also opened a slew of new ones between Jason, Jessica, and himself.
And Jessica and Jason agreed to basically be friends with benefits for the foreseeable future.
It is a reminder of how they stole season two in the first place.
However, the problem with nostalgia is how much of a trap it can be.
Hoyt may have forgotten what happened, but Jessica and the audience have not.
In fact, there relationship ended because she somewhat outgrew Hoyts down home folksiness.
Then again, whos to say they arent?
I have seen your future, and its not very bright.
Nevertheless, seeing Eric being cured is a relief.
And I imagine for Alexander Skarsgards fan club, it would be nigh intolerable.
Unfortunately for Eric, things get complicated when he discovers it threatens to take Bill away too.
But when Sookie bears the bad news, there is a look of actual panic in Erics eyes.
Perhaps, he just knows how much Sookie is going to nag him now that Bill is sick?
Eric tells Sookie to wait for him to come to her.
So, she obviously must bring Bill to Sarah Newlin herself.
The beauty of the ending to Almost Home is that it is so unexpected.
At that point, I suspected Bills mindset.
The disappointment that Sookie and Jessica feels is as biting for me too.
I am of two minds about this revelation.
But now, for a brief moment I am considering that Bill could die.
Part of me is actually quite okay with that.
And not for the same reason that certain fangirls are cheering for it at this very moment.
Sookie willnever, everend up with Eric.
Not in this medium or any other after the Southern Vampire Mysteries book series conclusion.
No, Bill and Sookie are still endgame.
