This week’s True Blood had two storylines.
Were either of them good?
Here’s our review about the hijinks in Bon Temps… …Im not sure either was good.
But one was definitely more entertaining than the other.
The primary one involved the fallout over the last several episodes.
This of course means its time to boogie!
Honestly, I have to side with Nicoles rude but accurate rant from later in the night.
And once there, we are supposed to marvel at their peeling layers.
But this one just rang false throughout the night.
Half of the town is dead.
Half of them were killed by people at this party.
Amongst those fleeing into life-affirmingdenialjoy are the couples seeking to shake up their relationship status quos.
The most syrupy and endearing of these was Andy proposing to Holly.
These Stackhouses really are accommodating!
Sure, why not?
Theyre a cute couple, awkwardness and all.
But thats going to have to stop right now.
Next, was the most bizarre love triangle (or is it a quadrilateral?)
on a show that once featured werepanthers as an apple of Jasons eye.
Okay, fine, its a pentagram.
And just like that five pointed star, it is a poor omen forTrue Blood.
Its Bon Temps, they all try it once in a while.
But the absolute nadir of the night had to do with Sookie and Bill.
However, they literally whitewashed Bill of his whiteness tonight.
And I gagged a little.
One of the most interesting things about Bill Compton is that he is a Civil War veteran.
But Vampire Bill is from that house on the hill in old Louisiana.
Not even Stephen Moyers perfectly strong peformance could salvage the writing here.
All of this soapiness certainly overshadowed the equally silly, but far more entertaining B-subplot.
Luckily for Tony, that could summarize how things wound up.
And the Kill Sarah subplot, right down to Ginger clinging to the coffin, was beautiful.
Hell yes, and Im glad to have her back!
Anna Camp is a secret treasure on this show, and its best villain after Russell Edgington.
is theTrue Bloodequivalent of Vader lifting his hand in front of a jabbering underling.
Its obviously not about to go well, and were going to enjoy every moment of this massacre.
But Im not a monster, Im a Buddhist!
If so, she surely brought peace to her family this week.
Meanwhile, Eric let Sarah slip through his fingers while he dealt with the Yakuza.
How did she contract the disease?
Bills sick, and he is going to die badly.
Maybe it can save the seventh season, too?
I dont know though.
After this week, that might be the biggest lost cause of them all.
