So I just watched the final EVER episode of True Blood. I want those seven years of my life back. I have recently said this series has been truly dreadful but the final episode took the cake.
After Six Feet Under left our screens years ago Alan Ball's truly wonderful series had one of the best farewell episodes ever. People always refer to this as the benchmark of a way to conclude a long running show. Admitting Alan Ball did start to take the back seat when the series went a little South (not the deep South where it's based) in it's 5th Season.
After Witches, Vampires, Were Wolves, Were Panthers & more there was little left except some crazy Vampire-Zombie hybrids which was like The Walking Dead V True Blood which seemed to be a short lived after thought and nothing really came of it.
Actually come to think nothing explored this season really made much sense, yes (SPOILER ALERT) Bill, Tara and Alcide all came to their true ends but Eric & Pam, such shit endings, like Sarah Newlin, just lame, the Japanese gangsters was quickly just washed away. Jason's random hook up after Hoyt rejected some Alaskan bird was just weird and lazy and Hoyt + Jessica's wedding was just boring and over long.
Too be honest I could have just switched off, but I am a finisher and I have stuck with this for 6 previous seasons and truly seasons 1-4 were wonderful. Yes even the witches (superb) was more watchable than this drawn out non conclusive seasons. Even the Dexter season 8 finale was a masterpiece compared to this. It is a great argument for shows to end when they are on a high and not like True Blood on an extreme low.
The Bill death scene was just over long and so boring. I wanted to jump in that grave and stake the mother fucker myself.
True Blood Season 7 episode 10, what a fucking red hot mess. So disappointing.
