ThisTrue Bloodreview contains spoilers.
But the most dramatic revelation before the opening credits start is that Tara is dead!Again.
Does this really fool anyone?
I am not sure what Lettie Maes game is but she is lying.
Perhaps she still doesnt approve of vampires and used this as an opportunity to capture Tara?
Our skepticism is underscored by how little emotion all the other characters take upon hearing of Taras death.
That makes one more time than us!
And she will get it too during an inevitable reveal later this season.
Our ostensible lead and heroine has been far too long sidelined with dippy storylines and dippier actions.
And it is some fascinating drama that I hope continues to play out all season.
This is seeding an interesting conflict: is Sookie really any longer part of the Bon Temps community?
Her relationship with vampires might be complicated, but it seems less so with the humans of her hometown.
That is downright cosmopolitan compared to Hoyts mama.
Alcide is partially right, Bon Temps is no longer her home.
Then again where do you go in an apocalypse?
The world is over and they seem rather stuck.
His sour grapes just prove that despite his love, he might not be the supernatural beast for her.
And did anyone notice how nice Bill has been to her, lately?
Nevertheless, the public relations image of vampires could not be much worse at the moment.
And Andy is a character who has serious, substantial reasons to hate vampires, especially Bill.
Yes, I used the word romance in reference to Adilyn and Jessica.
Meanwhile for Holly, Arlene, and Nicole, things are appearing far less shadowy with the monsters.
It is a major cliffhanger in the sense that at this point, there is acting like no escape.
The other plotline of curiosity involves the continued mystery around the missing Eric Northman.
Why ever these vampires are being so dour in their immortality?
At least Pams trip to Morocco gave us the line of the night.
Ill be in Hell having a three-way with the devil.
Now,thatwould be a series finale like no other!
Either way, the scene is also where Sookies relationship with the town comes to ahead again.
This is as much her town as theirs.
They may for now, but what she is really helping is the overall quality of the show.
); and Sookie matters.
I am aware that Season 5 also began with promise before unraveling into Lilith nonsense.
