FWIW, I hated last season to the point I swore the show off. Sucker that I am, I’m watching this season and enjoying it. It’s still c-rated high fructose popcorn, but it’s entertaining.
I’m almost positive that in the first season, when Sam transformed from a dog to a human when Sookie was in the shower (or maybe from human to dog), Sookie burst out with a “Fuck me.” Her cursing was endearing back in Season 1, when the show was having fun in being its trashy self. I think that ended in Season 3 (whenever Russell tore out a broadcaster’s spine on some news show), and yet I keep watching. Sigh.
I guess minor spoilers?
First season? Pretty decent. Seasons 2 and 3? Awesome. Season 4? Don’t even remember what happened. Season 5 was just flat-out weird, though I loved the guest stars – Christopher Meloni was in particular was fantastic and Peter Mensah (yeah, that guy) is amazing in everything he’s in. But seriously; blood god? What the hell is that?
Season Six has started off interestingly, trying to get back to the roots of the show, though the twists are fairly blatant when they happen and some of the stuff is pretty off-the-charts odd. When did Alcide become insane? What’s with the random lady they used to replace Luna (an actually interesting character)? Rutger Hauer is awesome but some of the dialogue they give him is just laughably bad. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
TLDR: Season Six is okay so far but I’m not going to go out of my way to watch any episodes. If there’s nothing else on, maybe, but… Well. Netflix.
I dont like this show but my wife loves it so I watch it with her. I thought the first season was interesting, good even, the series certainly had promise, but it has been most downhill from there. Tonight’s was the best episode of the season I thought.
Possessed Lafayette was terrible.
Actually, it always is. Why would they take their most interesting character and make him less interesting?
They really do squander that talent, don’t they? I also take exception to the fact that everyone needs to have something supernatural about them. I think the only person who doesn’t really have anything supernatural going on (personally) is Arlene, and her baby was stolen by a ghost and her husband haunted by an efreet.
There’s something to be said about the comparison between supernaturals and normal folk. That dichotomy is much more interesting but has become less and less overt as the series goes on. Le sigh.
They need to stop fucking with Terry (assuming they’re still doing it), because Terry is awesome.
Well, that last post was certainly prophetic. Trust me, they’re done fucking with Terry.
On a side note, remind me to only make friends with people that will…I don’t know…maybe call a goddamn ambulance if they find me with a gunshot wound out by the dumpster.
Jesus for real. Maybe stop singing to me and call some paramedics! The two episodes previous to this were quite good, but suddenly we’re back in awful town. What a roller coaster this season is.
Get out of my head.
This episode was pretty bad.
They’ll bring Terry back as a zombie. I mean, why not? They already have virtually every other type of super-natural on the show.

I still watch for my love of what used to be. OK, I watch hoping that maybe something good can come out of this. Fine! I watch just to see how this damn this is going to end. OK! I’ll admit it: boobies.
Only bright point, for me, was Billith finally doing what he should have done 2 episodes ago.
He should turn the doctor into a vampire. That’s True Motivation…
So, Bill’s plan is retarded. He views himself, if not god, as some kind of savior for the Vampire race. Yet all he seems to do is sit around his house? Meanwhile, Eric is off getting shit done.
If the topless scene made you uncomfortable, take heart! Her name is Bailey Nobel and she’ll be 23 in October.
edit - unforgettable?! Also, pic.
Yeah, this show is almost brain-dead in terms of thought right now.
Bill’s master plan is to give all the vampires fairly/vampire blood so they’re immune to the sunlight chamber. Which is a billion times more complicated than just waltzing in there during daylight and killing all those motherfuckers dead, which he did with the governor.
Seriously. Just a little thought, guys.
It’s like Superman suddenly decides that the best way to get people out of an evil mastermind’s dungeon is to send in Lois Lane with a file hidden in a cake. You’re Superman, dumbass. Punch in the wall.
I have nothing specific to add that you guys haven’t already said, but abstractly…I haven’t decided what I think about this season overall. It’s really hit or miss, but taking some directions I didn’t see coming (or at least didn’t expect them to actually TAKE,) but it seems like everyone has lost their damn minds.
I either really like or really hate it. I guess the final 2 episodes will tell.
I LOVE YOU JASON STACKHOUSE!!!
