True blood season 6
I don’t even know where to begin. This season was very emotional, like the tone of the season was emotional. In my books it maybe like a 7.3. It’s wasn’t amazing but it didn’t suck either. I give it this rating for very different reasons then I gave season 4 this rating. I mostly say this because it actually kinda tugged at my heart sting a little. Like I honestly don’t know how to feel about this season. The show returns to the format of taking place over a short time maybe 2 1/2 weeks. With a time jump at the end.On one hand it actually was pretty emotional with Terry’s and Luna deaths. On the other hand the villains/antiheroes/ antagonist were well they were something. Let’s start with Billith they are 1, kinda ( I love that name by the way) he annoyed the crap out of me. He was kinda the antihero/villain/antagonist wrapped into one. Like he does save everyone by the end. However he kinda put them there in the first place. Like if he hadn’t gone crazy last season there wouldn’t have been a war out on vampires. Speaking of war Louisiana governor Truman Burrell starts a war out on vamps. He is also another Villian/antagonist wrapped into one. He rounds up on the vampires that are on the loose and puts them in a research/prison facility. At some point throughout the season all the vampires from the show end up there, except Billith but that’s for a different reason. Truman is only there for like half the season but his policies and actions have affects till the last episode. He reached out and helped rebuild Trueblood so that he could spike it with Hep V and kill all the vampire. He’s way more of the main antagonist then Billith but some how annoyed me less. Speaking of annoying they brought back Sarah Newlin. She is the other half to Truman but you could honestly say it was her brainchild. I’m of two schools of thought about her, one they ruined her character because she would have never acted this way in season 2. She was a kind Christian who just wanted to do what was right in the sight of God. My other thought is that they made her character stronger because for once she was actually strong and determined to get what she wanted. Either way she was back and was a antagonist of this season. The other antagonist/villian is Warlow. He’s well he’s a complex one. He’s vampire and faerie together, which is kinda cool. We first think he’s setting out to kill sookie but he just wants to be with her. He’s Lilith’s prodigy so he’s tied to the Billith storyline as well. To be honest I kinda thought maybe just maybe him and sookie would have a good life together but he’s crazy. There are a few other things going on this Season. Andy has four faerie daughters but Jessica kills 3 of them. Terry couldn’t live with killing patrick so he arranges to have himself killed. Lafayette was seriously under used again this season. He kinda only came out when he had to be a medium and randomly he helped Sam out. Eric was kinda on his own, he creates a vampire out of Truman’s daughter Willa. He was all for teaming up with Bill until Nora died and then he was pissed. Tara, well she was with Pam and Willa for the majority of the season. At the end she forgives or works on forgiving her mother. Interesting to see where that goes. Jason well they did a good job again with him. Him and sookie are great siblings. Along with him comes Niall who gives us more insight and information on Warlow and Sookie and Jasons parents death. He ends the season in a weird place with a vampire named violet. Sookie and Alcide are together? I shipped it until I didn’t. I think sookie should have given relationship a rest for a bit. The season ends with Eric dying( I mean I hope he’s not dead), we don’t know where Pam is and vampires with Hep V are coming to take over Bon temp. Honestly I can’t really make sense of this season. I think once I let this season sit with me for a while I will be better equipped to unpack it, however all of my reviews are first impression so they are definitely meant to be all tangled up. I’m excited for 7, how’s it gonna end.
