True Blood

Non-Phish General
#56

It was revealed that Eric can fly early in season 1, however, this is the first time we have seen him in action. It was when Bill was clarifying the vampire myths to Sookie on one of their first dates. Then when they went to Dallas, Eric told Lafayette (after he made Lafayette drink his blood to heal his leg), he “had to fly,” and was in Dallas in the scene after next. Sorry, just wanted to clear that up.

I did think there was a little extra “cheese” on this most recent episode. I’m pretty sure the finale is going to kick ass, but I’m already pissed at how long I’m going to have to wait til next season. I soooo wanna see Bill and Eric throw down.

I hope I won’t have to wait that long to see Phish again.

Wait, they’re going the 2 weeks thing? That is so fucking retarded. I don’t know why TV shows postpone the season finale only to have to compete with opening day of the NFL. Gotta think about ratings people.

#58

^ That’s exactly what I told my wife. The NFL is a beast to deal with. Were talking at least a 16.0 share for the Sunday Night Football Game.

#59

True Blood is considered counter programming for football. They are hoping to scoop up wives, girlfriends, dudes like me that have no love for sports in general, etc. If all the other networks program re-runs because of the game, HBO will thrive with the counter-programming strategy.

Anyway, the reason they are not showing this coming week is Labor Day. You will find that HBO avoids playing their Sunday night content on holiday weekends. Most networks employ the same strategy. Television will be a black hole of repeat programming next Sunday.

finale predictions?

#61

^the egg will turn out to be the demon/spawn/baby of Maryanne and Sam. they fucked way back when and her gestation period is demonically long.

probably not, but just as likely as anything else.

#62

They keep showing Sookie apologize in the preview. I honestly think she’s apologizing to Tara that Eggs was killed. That’s my big prediction that Eggs will be killed and obviously Maryann will become vulnerable and killed or at least leave Bon Temps when Sam offers himself.

It seems as if they are trying to act like Sam is going to die, but no way…he is way to big of a character.

I’d like to see at the end of the episdoe for Sookie to fall for Eric so we can get set up for the epic showdown that Bill and Eric should have in Season 3.

#63

The show has jumped the shark

#64

^why?

good finale.

#65

I don’t think it jumped the shark at all. I thought it was an epic finale! Totally set up for next season too. Jessica is turning into a bad little girl. Damn she’s a hot feisty one.

Sam is going to encounter his parents (who are evil? or weird?) Who knows?

Bill vs. The Queen and Eric should be epic!!!

#66

Bill wanted to take Sookie to Burlington to meet his favorite band.

#67

^ I know right

#68

I love how Vermont is the state to leagalize vampire/human marriage. Got a chuckle out of that.

I thought the season finale was good. They took care of the Maryann thing properly and then still had plenty of time to wrap it up and set up for next season, which already has a lot going on.

Pretty devastated about Eggs. I would like to see Tara catch a break. I think she won’t ever have anyone lasting because she and Jason will ultimately end up together, but who knows. I guess Andy was susceptible to Maryann’s powers after all. I wonder why he didn’t fall under the spell the first few times.

#69

i’m actually kinda glad they did away with Eggs. i know, that’s mean. but he annoyed me. always cryin an shit. playin silly Sting songs on his blue acoustic. he couldn’t man up so they shot him through the head. which is only fair.

#70

haha…I suppose it was humane. I did admit to myself right after it happened that there was no other way it could have gone with him. He was too far gone at that point. He would have been no addition to the show now anyway, since Maryann was really what was driving his character and made him interesting. It’s just that he was really cool to me when I took that trip down to Bon Temps…but that is for another thread.

#71

I enjoyed the season finale. A very nice display of teamwork in Bon Temps.

And “Thank You” True Blood for not ending the season on a cliffhanger that would have me dying for the next year. Obviously Eric kidnapped Bill, and Bill is still alive for the moment. I can live with that.

#72

can’t wait for next season, I have heard they are half done with the season already, hopefully sooner than later…

#73

Anyone watching this season? It’s been pretty epic. I love the Eric/Russell storyline.

I could go without the typical Tara drama and Sam’s storyline has been pretty boring this season, but it’s still been pretty epic!

Finally Bill taught Jessica the ropes!

#74

Oh yeah, its heating up. I think, when its all said and done, Eric is gonna be the king. Something about his actions lately PLUS the flashback where his dad says “Now you’re the king.” Wonderful foreshadowing. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

#75

I’ve only seen teh first 3 episodes of this season, butt I am followin’ it…I hate Tara butt Eric is growin’ on me. Love this show, and loooove Sookie.
