I was yelling at Nick from CSI--"No! She's a vampire!"

In a scene at a diner Nick was flirting with the waitress and it was Jessica, lol

On a rewatch, I also saw Andy, Russell, Hoyt, and Alcide. (not all in the same episode)

There were probably more I missed--it was just fun to see the True Blood visitors to the streets of Vegas.

One thing I hated was.....

Why even have Andy bueffler have 4 faerie daughters only to kill 3 and keep one alive episodes after there born like what was the point why not just originally have one daughter from the beginning.

I mean the only thing I can think of is that it would show that even if your very special like sookie you can still die so easily but a lot of that already happened anyway so the plot still doesn't make sense to me .

Inconsistency about vampire emotions?

So I tend to come back to this show with a few years in between. And I know not to take it too seriously, and that it contains some plot holes… But I just found out an inconsistency (I think?). When Sookie is trying to defend Jessica, Bill tells her something along the lines of Jessica being a new vampire, and that she therefore has no humanity. He says that he had to work extremely hard to find his way back to his humanity… But in an earlier episode when we get the flash-back of how Bill was turned, and his maker tells him he can never go back to his family, he looks super emotional and cries blood. I mean this could just be Bill being a selfish A hole, and telling Sookie whatever in order to justify his coldness towards Jessica. But if he actually believes what he is saying about her, then isn’t that a huge inconsistency in how vampire creation works?

First time watching and oh boy not what I expected!

I never got around to watch while it was airing but spot it on Netflix and gave it a go. And it’s rather good! It brought me back into early 2000’s and is it me or is this show super charged with good looking characters and a lot of sex? Or are the shows this days just tuned down a lot so I’m perceiving it differently? I’m binge watching so may just seam that way to me so thought to ask. Also it kinda reminded me of TVD and Supernatural just catered toward a bit older audience. All in all I’m liking the show a lot.

I looked on IMDb and the ending is rated really badly. Should I avoid watching the show? The plot sounded interesting.

I don't like starting shows with a bad ending.

S02E02 You'd think Sookie would told Tara about what she heard in Maryann's thoughts!

Did Tommy deserve Sam’s forgiveness?

I’m rewatching the series since watching it live so long ago and the whole ending of Tommy’s character just isn’t sitting right with me. I get he was raised by two terrible parents who didn’t teach him right from wrong but Tommy didn’t just turn into Sam when he became a skin walker.. he literally tried destroying his life and had sex with his girlfriend.. without her consent. Her not knowing it was Tommy and thinking it was Sam is completely fucked up and I don’t feel like it was touched on enough how wrong it was. Cause at the episode where Tommy dies because he goes and tries to fight Lunas ex-husband - AS SAM NOT EVEN HIMSELF MIND YOU - where he could have ruined Sam’s like again if they didn’t find out it was actually him. As he’s dying Sam tells him he forgives him, giving Tommy closure of forgiveness before he died.. even has a proper burial for him. Which, like I said I get him being troubled and forgiving him for his stupid mistakes.. but the sex part I just don’t understand how Sam got past that and forgave him it’s just a whole different level of fucked up. I had to ask this group and hear what you all think and if I’m wrong for thinking Tommy didn’t deserve forgiveness.

Life imitates art? 😂

I hope I’m not the only one but with everything coming out about diddy and his “freak offs” I CAN NOT stop thinking about Maryann and how she caused the town to have their own freak off. Very similar vibes to me.

What would you remove from the show?

Hey everyone, I’m currently first time watching and on Season 5- I’m absolutely in love with this show and for me personally it 100% beats vampire diaries which I was a long time fan of (seasons 1-3). True blood has its faults but I’m curious what you would change in a season/ what storylines you would remove to make it perfect? For me I would take out the Werepanther storyline and also the entire Maryann storyline. I know true blood is a sexual show but for me it just got a bit too much with all her scenes and just wasn’t enjoyable to watch.

Dead as a Doornail- inconsistency

So I’m doing a read through of the books and noticed that when Claudine comes to Merlotte’s early on in the book it makes a point to mention that fairies are allergic to lemons. Literally in the same chapter she orders a 7-and-7 which is made with lemon-lime soda (7up). Of all the drinks to order why a 7-and-7?

S5E7 Don Bartolo question

Does anyone feel like the script is wrong here? Like Don is super mad at Lafayette but he’s supposed to be kind of all knowing? He knew when they would arrive to visit him in the 4th season and he knew about Marnie wanting possession. They were literally there as first hand witnesses to these things and knew less than he did. It makes no sense that this super powerful Brujo would be unaware that Lafayette had been possessed by Marnie and thus she killed Jesus. Especially since Don himself almost killed Jesus with the snake bite to prove to Lafayette that he was a medium stating very specifically to Jesus and Lafayette aimed at Lafayette “what the genius doesn’t realize is that I didn’t have to prove anything to him I had to prove it to you. You have the gift - tienas Las majas” sorry I forgot tener rules and essentially all Spanish but whatever you have the magic. Jesus knew but Lafayette was very unaware.

Point being that it would make a lot more sense if he had said something like “I warned you and Jesus but you were too stubborn too proud to take my help. I told you what Marnie was and you didn’t stop her. Jesus was his own worst enemy. Now you’ll pay the price for his mistakes. I’m sure you’ve noticed that since Marnie possessed you and killed Jesus, you have Jesus’s powers. But that magic belongs to my family and my family alone. Now you’ll die but take comfort in knowing you’ll see Jesus again soon”.

Anything along the lines of that would’ve made more sense. Instead Don acts like Lafayette stole their magic intentionally murdering his own lover to acquire power. Makes no sense.

I don’t like it that TVD sub has 114k followers while True Blood has just 30k on Reddit.

I mean, True Blood is certainly the superior show in terms of the cast & the plot. I suspect even the budget must’ve been a lot bigger than TVD. TVD got so repetitive & boring by S5. True Blood was a banger show through & through.

Finally finished…

Why do I feel not satisfied? Why did Hoyt and Jessica rush to get married like that. She literally cheated on Hoyt and mistreated him. I just don’t think they were meant to be anymore.

As for Bill I have mixed emotions. Yes I feel Sookie would had gotten to have a proper normal life but I also feel as if Bill and Sookie were starting to get their chemistry back. Sookie jumped around so much it was confusing me but for once I felt she was focused again. Bill was toxic for her for a long while but I finally felt he was at the point of understanding that he did her wrong and needed to do right for her.

Jason’s ending was good I’m happy for him and it all checks out.

Eric and Pams ending makes sense.

I’ll forever be angry with the ending Tara got but I almost think they did it on purpose.

Something I always loved about Russel...

Is that in season 5 when the authority got there hands on him he says them worshipping Lilith is not some moral thing and that there actions are not for some greater purpose it's just an excuse for them to kill savagely and say it's in the name of Lilith.

Also he says he does bad things because he wants to he owns his sadistic behaviour he says he kills because he loves it unlike the authority who act like there so sophisticated and more better than other vampires.

Also loved how he told the authority they were no better than humans like how humans try to worship gid and say there awful actions are in God's name the sane way the authority does there awful actions in Lilith's name.
