brigdhI only watched one episode of TV last week! Apparently I was really busy reading? Actually, I don't even know what I did with my time. Anyway:
True Blood
So, it was kind of a boring and terrible episode.
Bill continued to be really determined to die, and decided that the only way to accomplish this was to get Sookie to help him commit suicide. Why? Because a dead Bill is the only way for Sookie to have a normal life: "How many times have you promised yourself, 'no more vampires'?" HAHAHA.
Meanwhile, Sarah Newman hits on Pam, and I briefly ship it, before Pam and Eric kill all of the yakuza and take Sarah captive.
Then, crazily, Hoyt and Jessica decide to get married, today, despite having dated for less than 24 hours. But Bill is dying! And he never got to walk his human daughter down the aisle! None of this makes sense!
Sookie realizes that she can hear Bill's thoughts, and I briefly was convinced that Bill's Super Hep-V was turning him back into a human, but nope. The whole thoughts thing is never addressed or explained at all. Instead, Sookie agrees to kill him using her fairy powers (which will take away those powers and leave her a normal human). But then she changes her mind! No, she still kills him, she just uses a stake to do it instead. Bill is dead! I wasn't sure the show was really going to go through with it.
In the one enjoyable part of the episode, Eric and Pam start a Hep-V Cure company based on Sarah's blood, film a hilarious infomercial describing it as "For vampires - By vampires" and Eric as "THE IMMORTAL VIKING GOD", open the NY Stock Market, and reopen Fangtasia. Sarah is still being held captive in the basement, and I actually feel bad for her. I suppose she was the show's biggest villain - certainly the biggest one still alive, maybe the biggest overall - but her situation is so terrible in the extreme that it's not enjoyable to watch.
Then we skip three years ahead and Jason for some reason is with Bridget (I guess Jason was always fated to be with Hoyt's girlfriend?) and they have way too many children for only three years having passed. BUT OMG ALL THESE BABIES ARE SO CUTE. Sam's baby! Sookie's baby bump! So many babies! Jessica/Hoyt being cute! Lafayette/James being cute (but not actually getting dialogue, ugh)! Arlene/whatever that vampire's name was being cute!
Sookie's baby bump is apparently from her Random Faceless (presumably human) New Boyfriend instead of Sad Vampire Bill, which I feel is very disappointing after all the foreshadowing this season.
And that's the end! I feel let-down.
