I stopped watching after they killed Tara. This season sounds like a major [!@#$%^&*] show. Luckily I had realized all this last season but my Pam/Tara loving heart refused to give up. Oh well. Hopefully Sookie and her fairy vagina get what's coming to her.

Pam/Tara were the only good thing about season 5. Season 6 spent too much time isolating a lot of the characters from each other. And season 7 it seems is just taking them all out one by one. Damn I had such high hopes for this show back when it started. And I loved season 3! Especially Franklin! wub.png

What was so good about 6? It was a hot mess. I can barely remember what went on there.

I guess different strokes for different folks. S4 was the last time I thought it was decent. I recently read that that was the last season that followed the books which made sense bc its been crap in the subsequent years when they were more original

IMO, the ranking would be

1

2

4

3

5

6

Its gotten progressively worse every year with the exception of 3 and 4

my issue was that they already did this with Warlowe so why repeat it? Unlike now, it actually made sense in context with Jason/Warlow's story and it was tastefully done. It felt out of place and screamed of WTF here. Unless its leading into something bigger with Jason and Eric, it didn't seem to serve any purpose other than fan service.

I assume they must have done that because of the complaints over some past dreams that are there just to bait gay male viewers/fans who want to see hot guys make out, only for the shot to end before it goes beyond wink wink (like that Sam/Bill dream years ago).

I thought season 6 was good in that aside from the Bilith sequences the show was more concentrated on familal dynamics and seemed to delve into more character development. I felt there was a significant progression in the way Jason, Jessica, Eric, Pam and others were written. I also liked the re-exploration of Sookie and Jason's past, in addition to Warlow's initial appearance which revitalized the season for me. But other than that I agree that there is little to remember of seasons six outside of Bilith, Vamp Camp and Warlow. But I definitely feel that seasons 6 was better than seasons 4 and 5. Which were basically Russell Edgington kills everyone part II and Skeevy Witches unite against Vampires. The best seasons were seasons 2 and 3.

2 > 3 > 1 > 6 > 4/5

Episode 4 is definitely the best episode of the season so far and by a country mile.

Alcide's father finding out about his death was a nice touch and Sookie seemed affected but shockingly didn't make it totally about her.

The scene with Arlene making peace with Terry's death and choosing to live on for her kids totally had me. Carrie Preston is such a wonderful actress.

Eric & Sookie saying goodbye almost had be bawling like a baby and I've never really shipped them. I loved how nonchalantly he mentioned that he caused an avalanche in Sweden that took out a whole ski resort.

Willa hating Eric for abandoning her makes perfect sense. She should hate him. It was truly horrible of him (and completely out of character but whatever).

Bill & Eric's uneasy reunion after everything that happened between them in seasons 5 & 6 was great. "Pam tells me you wrote a book in which you claim not to be an ass**** anymore. Is this true, Bill?" HA! Oh, I'm gonna miss your snarky little ass, Eric Northman.

Poor Ginger, she never stood a chance. Eric's charm was too much for her even when he was rockin' Beverly Hills 90210 hair and clothes (at this point I think they're putting him in increasingly hideous wigs to make fun of the godawful one they put on him in season 1). Fangtasia was all Ginger's idea and Pam glamored it out of her and scrambled her brain. As Eric so deliciously proclaimed she is such a bitch, but a glorious one when she's on her game.

No surprise Bill's plan was stupid and without the Underground Railroad tunnel plot point that the show pulled out of the magister's ass in a flashback at the beginning of the episode, that Eric later told Bill about, they'd all be dead.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
