True Blood's much anticipated season finale has come and gone and it was...well...underwhelming. After a season that had kidnapping, vampire suicide, an Eric/Sookie sex-scene, countless orgies, Lafayette in chains and a near vampire-human war, the hopes were high for an awesome season finale. But, I guess after all of that the writers had run out of creative juices.
Maryanne had captured Sookie, and revealed her intentions to have Sookie serve as a bridesmaid in her impending wedding. "To whom?", you may ask. Well, to The God That Comes, of course. And that crazy egg we were all wondering about? It was just an ostrich egg. Lame. Honestly, the best part of the whole first half of the episode was Lafayette in a bridesmaid dress.
Andy and Jason came into Maryanne's guns blazing hoping to take over but they were soon overtaken by the black liquid eyes. The bad news? We had to watch Jason make out with a fat old lady. The good news? The writers didn't cop out. I mean, it was cool that they tried, but did anyone really think that dim-witted Jason and boozing Andy were going to make a difference.
Evan Rachael Wood made her second appearance as Queen Sophie. Does she look the part? Absolutely. Can she act? Hell naw! The never ending yatzee game bored me to death and the fact that she won't let Eric go is pissing me off. i
Bill saves the day, Sookie cries, Hoyt finally stands up to Mama and Maryanne dies. It all happens in the first half of the episode with no sort of exciting pacing to be seen. Where the heck are we going with the rest of the episode? The answer? No where really. Andy's freaking out for no reason about no one giving him credit. Sam is looking for his long lost real family...the sort of loose end that's good the start in the middle of a season but not savory enough to serve as a season ending cliffhanger. Hoyt goes to Jessica's to try and make things right but she's out feeding off of a trucker which was, frankly, the most interesting character twist in the episode. Jason shoots Eggs in the head because he's pointing the knife with which he had previously cut people's hearts out (stupid, stupid Sookie showed him his blackout periods). What will this mean to last season's teased Jason/Tara love story? The big cliffhanger was Bill being kidnapped. After proposing to Sookie who responded by crying and running out of the room, Bill is choked by a chain of silver by someone in fabulous black leather gloves. I'm guessing it wasn't OJ Simpson and the episode certainly led us to believe that it was Eric, who had previously promised Queen Sophie he would "take care of Bill". My guess is that a different bone was picked...one in the form of a pretty brunette maker.
NEEDS MOAR ERIC.
