I would probably rate the villains like this and end up switching the first two for the better subsequent seasons. I never really liked season one and in hindsight while over praised season two is probably the best season so far. Both season four and three have been middling efforts to me. Although I think they had more highlights then the initial season. Overall season three is more memorable because of Russel and that's why the last season is better then this past one.

Russel (season three)

Maenad (season two)

Marnie/Antonia (season four)

Renee (season one)

What did you think of the big karaoke carnage where the show's favorite pin-ups and other vamps feasted on men, women, and children? How bad was it?

I saw some comments about how some viewers may never watch again, but barely anyone reacted at TWOP, and if people aren't getting upset there, it can't be that bad.

Eh, I was unmoved. This is True Blood after all. Like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, it is not a show for the squeamish.The best part of that scene was Godric appearing to Eric. It is really too bad that Ball gave Godric the true death. Eric loved him so much.

The one thing that has pissed me off this season is how quick Ball killed off Chris Meloni who I adore from Oz.

Agreed. He was one of the best parts of an otherwise very slow moving and uneventful season.

Sookie is the main character but she feels so unnecesary this season like she's an extra. I hate the PSD war story. I have no interest in Andy's past with his war buddies

The best part of this season is Pam and all the developments she got. Loved exploring her backstory and now seeing her as a mentor to Tara. She is really saving this season for me

I have never been her biggest fan. I have always thought that we got too much of her, but she is the lead actress. The decision to pair up Eric and BIll was genius although it was likely driven by Anna Paquin's pregnancy. I think that Eric and Bill's growing bromance has been one of the strengthens of this season.

You meant "Terry" and I agree. The only moment of that story that I have liked is when Terry said goodbye to Arlene. It was a genuinely heartbreaking moment. From the previews, Lafayette is coming to their rescue which is good because there are too many separate stories on this show.

I am loving Pam and Tara's growing relationship. Pam is desperately trying not care, but she is definitely feeling the love. Now she is realizing what it means to be a maker.

Tara has been awesome as a vampire. I am a huge Tara/Sam fan. I think that they have the best chemistry. I loved that she went to him for help. I don't know why Ball won't pair them up. I rather see Sam falling in love with Tara than deal with Luna and the hate group hunting them even though he was hilarious sniffing around on the ground. Ball has got to tighten up the stories.

I don't know where Alcide's story with the pack is going, but he has the best body of the guys on the show so we need to see him shirtless some more.

I didnt realize Anna was pregnant. I havent read the books so I figured at this point in the story, Sookie just takes a backseat. Im not her biggest fan either but it does feel off that the show has shifted focus away from her

Yeah I meant him.

Im liking Tara as a vamp now but god the first few episodes she was downright annoying

I dont care for this Pack and Shifters story either. I dont care for Alcide as a character but you are right in that he does have a good body

Run, Eric, run. Get away from Bill and the lunatic Authority. Russell cracked me up chatting with Steve during the Authority meeting.

Gawd, Alcide. Damn, he is a beautifully sculptured man. I am jealous of any woman who gets to hit that in real life.

Pam is hilarious. Her mad face and happy face are the same. I liked her glamoring that annoying woman for Tara.

I want Luna gone so no doubt she will live.

All my Terry love came rushing back tonight. He is sweetest man and deserves a better story.

I think that the woman Luna was sniffing was either Hoyt's mother and Bud's girlfriend.

I don't care who killed Sookie and Jason's parents.

Wasn't bad at all. I think we've seen much worse from this show. After all, the behavior made such in terms of the characters and plot.

Word to all of this! Although I don't really mind Terry's story.

The moment between Jesus and Lafayette was amazing. So touching.

After being cockblocked for a whole season, Alcide finally "sexually eviscerated" someone. Thank God!

Pam has been THE best thing about this season (although she always tends to steal the show).

I just found out that Anna is pregnant now, announcing it in June so her pregnancy wouldnt have played a factor in any of the decisions for this season.

I liked Jessica and Hoyt so I was sad to see them end. Last night kind of made it seem a bit more final :( I hope he gets his head together. Wonder who he ran into

It was a nice moment. Jesus is another character that I wish had not been killed off.

Okay, I got that wrong. Whatever the reason for Eric and Bill's bromance this season, I am very pleased. They both need a break from Sookie.

I used to be so in love with Jessica and Hoyt. I find her behavior understandable, but unforgivable. I wonder if Hoyt ran into Bud, the old sheriff. He just popped up out of nowhere this season. I just hope that Hoyt does not die because he is so sweet.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
