Great episode. The only thing I still don't care about is Emma/Alcide, so thank God that's over. Everything else was great!

Was that Stacy Haiduk going full monty on a bucket of chicken in Papa Herveaux's hotel room? Wow. Girlfriend has a great body.

Danger whore is the perfect term for Sookie.

I need more Lafayette. There's never enough Lafayette for me. He needs his own spinoff.

He also needs another boyfriend or some sort of life besides using glue guns when he is stoned--I mean in early seasons wasn't he sleeping around with every closet case in town? (Granted, for money, but...)

And yep, that was Stacy!

Finally caught up.

Surely James the "not a rapist" vamp will be seen again--otherwise why cast Luke Grimes (not that he's a huge name, but...) He was the "maybe another bastard son" for a few episodes of Brothers and Sisters before they dropped that story during one of their myriad of headwriter changes. (Besides Eastenders, the only thing I know Robert Kazinsky from is Brothers and Sisters, as well.)

Watching the 5 min "Inside the episode" thing on hbo.com I realized the episode was directed by Howard Deutch--not sure if he's directed it before, who directed my two fave John Hughes scripted films, Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful (as well as not faves of mine like The Great Outdoors, Grumpier Old Men and Odd COuple II.) I thought he actually did a particularly good job.

Thank god they redeemed Alcede last night. I've never been a huge fan of his, but the jackass version of him wasn't working for me.

I miss when Bill got along with Sookie :-/.

Of course [!@#$%^&*] Steve ruined EVERYTHING. His character is way past his expiration date.

I agree, Alcide being all mean and packmastery was a mess. Pair that with the horrific look that Manganiello has this season and I lost a lot of affection for him. Hopefully some shirtless scenes along with him being nice again will fix that. laugh.png

On the other hand, I had the werewolf bitch so much I was glad to see her f.ucked up.

Glad to see Sookie involved more in things. I have come to realize that her marginalization and the fact that she was barely in any story but her own really hurts the show. She's the glue that pulls everything together.

Loving all the twists and turns with everyone and they're starting to mix things up.

That Sarah/True Blood woman scene! ohmy.png She kicked her in the vagina! et al

Has there been any talk from Andy about sending Adelaide to Sookie to help train her? After his other 3 daughters were murdered, you'd think that it would be a good idea for the 1 living girl to learn more about what it is to be a fairy and how to use those powers to defend herself, especially since vamps are always going to target her.

Great climax! A bit easy, but still great. Probably one of the best episodes of the series. Mixed action, drama and comedy very well, reminiscent of the season 1 and 2 glory days. Nice to see more of the lovely secondary characters and get that some of that small gossipy town feeling back.

The penis moment! Wow. And they showed it too. At least they were generous, lol

I was prepared to hate the flashbacks but they turned out really well. And Sookie's line about Terry loving Arlene from the very beginning had me crying. I didn't think TRUE BLOOD would get me to do that ever again. And the song from Big John was great too.

And sooo many hilarious moments. Jason was amazing. The screaming friend of Eric's is amazing. Steve's "I love you, Jason Stackhouse" was amazing (the actor's idea!). Arlene's "that was the [!@#$%^&*]."

Lafayette's attire was amazing at the funeral. And it seems that Alcide/Sookie are finally happening for real.

Glad to see Jason didn't kill Sarah. I think she can create more trouble. Although I'm not sure where they'll go now that they've wrapped up the main storyline but we shall see. I can't say I care for Billith but that's the only thing they haven't resolved.

A bit of a disappointing cliffhanger, though.

That was a great season finale!

I was so shocked when Ben turned on Sookie so suddenly. It made for some fun drama although I really liked the chemistry between them... It would have been nice if he could stick around. But it seems I was right that the time for Alcide/Sookie has come! :D

When Alcide finally cut off that horrible mop (seriously, it made him unattractive to me) and started being all protective and sexy. ... yeees!

Eric penis!

I'm starting to actually really like Violet.

The resolution to Billith, Warlowe and the season in general felt kinda quick but worked nevertheless. The idea to jump ahead six months brought to many exciting changes to the show. It feels kinda weird the diner won't be called "Merlotte's" anymore. Sookie/Alcide are sexy. The idea to pair off vampires and humans for protection was great, as well as Tara reuniting with her mom. And the ending scene was exciting... vampires vs vampires. Oh, this is going to be fun!

I loved the season but overall was dissapointed with the season. Hated how they handled Warlow as I preferred the twist in that he wasnt evil. I would have been satisfied if he survived and he and Sookie went into the next season as a couple. For being the oldest vamp on the show, he sure went down relatively easy. Lame

HATE Alcide and Sookie together. I wish they'd just kill him off already.

The second half felt so out of place. To me, this should have been episode 1 of season 7. They should have stayed in present day and not done that time jump

Surprised to see Jessica just roaming about. Andy's the sheriff. Cant she be arrested for what she did to his daughters? I know she's a vamp and all but nothing has happened to her

Great interview with showrunner Brian Buckner. I have to admit (even though some will bitch about some of the stuff he says, predictably) I can see every single point he makes on screen and I can see why he made those decisions. Loved his comments about trying to just be patient and wait for next season, as well as not needing to make everything plot-driven. And how great is it that they're not afraid to talk about their gay male viewers?

http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/08/20/true-blood-season-6-finale/

They will NEVER kill Alcide. Like Buckner says (not that it needed to be confirmed) he's too much of a draw for female and gay male viewers. Fans love him and they wouldn't throw eye candy like that away.

I disagree. I thought that the time jump reinvigorated things tremendously. Not only did it allow for the big story arcs to climax and be done with, but it shuffled things around and showed us clearly (some of) what the future beholds. I guess it's supposed to feel out of place. We're playing catch-up. I am 10x more interested for next season now because it wasn't just a random cliffhanger they did--they shook the whole world up. And they seem resolved to end one of the show's biggest problems: The fact that they have all this separated storylines that don't affect one another. Seems like they're done with that. Now I just can't wait for June.

    • I loved today's episode....shocker LOL Dani & Andre were so cute and adorable. Vernon trying to cover his tracks with Anita, while holding his own with Leslie. And the pièce de résistance, Eva & Kat. Soooooo goood!!!
    • According to the newspaper columnists at the time of Mark Dante's return, Gerald Gordon had been a favorite of Fred Silverman, who left ABC for NBC and took Gordon with him. Silverman supposedly put him on a contract with NBC. Gordon return to "General Hospital" occurred after Silverman left NBC so Gordon may have been in need of work and he may have left Monty on good terms. His pairing seems very C-story at best based on synopses but maybe there was more to it.   
    • I am truly at a loss for words about today's episode. I have no clue what they are trying to do or where this Luna story is going. I was literally dumbfounded.
    • I'm inclined to agree with you and I loved her at Santa Barbara.
    • I haven't watched DAYS in years, so I have some questions for anyone who can answer them. Is the show actually acknowledging that Jeremy abused Stephanie?  The things he did to her back in 2007 were reprehensible.  I wasn't watching too much when that was happening, but I seem to remember that the show (at the time) didn't outright label him an abusive partner and instead acted like he was just badly behaved or something like that.  Could someone who was watching back then tell me how they remember it?  
    • It also strangely happened while the story was airing. You had a gothic and spooky story that because it got eyeballs ended up being dragged out and turned into camp. Marlena starts talking to herself constantly with that voice, she’s strapped to the bed for a never ending exorcism, would almost die multiple times during the process, and then everyone would just leave her there with Caroline Brady sitting next to her holding a rosary. Reilly had the show so segregated that when Carrie found out what was happening in practically her next scene she was like I’m praying for Marlena. Now what are we going to do about Sami? I don’t know about anyone else, but I would probably stop my storyline for at least a couple of episodes and have to go see my stepmother that had a huge part in raising me floating around with those eyes in her beautiful penthouse. It was just so stupid, and when it started I didn’t necessarily agree with the story being told, but at least it was taken seriously.
    • Yes, I feel the same way. I get the reasoning behind hiring him. He was playing a very similar character on RH, and they were in a pinch. I also found his accent very distracting. But then, Bev also didn't sound like she was from Illinois, and it didn't bother me a bit. That said, I've always had a great deal of sympathy for the situation he was in. It's never easy to take over from someone popular with fans, and how the TPTB were always insisting he was coming back eventually was another issue. Hearing he was going through it in his personal life on top of that makes me even more sympathetic. I found the article where it mentioned he had worked on both soaps at the same time. This was written a while after he left the show. Interesting that he was open to returning and that fans were asking him about when Alan was going to get out of jail. To this day, I don't understand why they kept Alan off the canvas as long as they did. He should have been there in the thick of Roger's return (without the dumb attempt to kill him), especially while he was married to Alex. To me, Raines was lacking in a lot of qualities needed for Alan. I think he would have been a better Mike Bauer.  They took five years to bring Alan back. They could have found someone better. No one is irreplaceable. Anyone who took over the role would have been different from Bernau. But somewhere out there was an actor who would have had the suaveness, intensity, and charm that IMO the character needed.

    • I did feel like JFP's Y&R was decent. Of all the recent HW/EP swaps, her period was very safe but watchable. Nothing spectacular but better than what we have now.
    • I don’t watch B&B but I did know about Heather and forgot her. I really don’t know anything about Lawrence. Do people like his scripts?   Yes she did! And I know she did double duty too, even if Bell slowly phased Julia out while she wrote for the show.
