True death comes for True Blood

It's been six years and seven seasons of True Blood and I've bravely made it through them all. Some seasons I've been hooked on, others I've forgotten in a haze of Lilith but no matter, I've enjoyed each moment of the good, the bad and the unexplained.

The series reached it's true death in the finale on M-Net Series Showcase last night and ended with Sookie marrying some No Name Brand after delivering the true death to Bill.

The scene.
 
In a trippy twist of time, the essence of it all was succinctly wrapped up in the penultimate episode already when Ginger's lusty fantasies came true, delivering the best orgasm ever - she totally out-gasmed Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.

My best was how multi-orgasmic things were, representing so much more than Ginger's need for Eric Northman on the Throne. It symbolised the audience too and the fact that the show's satisfied some of our needs but not all of them i.e. it owed us a mega organism for our patient watching.

It also owed it to Tara Buck who plays Ginger - she's waited all this time to get a proper scene!  It said goodbye to series perfectly and was my favourite scene of all the final ones.

Another favourite was what happened between Tara, her mother and Lafayette when they hooked up after taking V.  The violent scene between Tara's mother and father was so unbelievably vivid and realistic ... I've lived through similar scenes and it's exactly what they felt like.

What made their story a favourite is that they went on to end things on such a positive note with Tara and her mother understanding each other first time - was very cool.

 
 
Unlike Bill's death. I didn't mind that he died but I didn't like that Sookie killed him. It sucked that she had to carry the burden of him - was very unnecessary.  They should have let him die before the antidote was found - before Eric returned to inform Sookie of the cure.

I also didn't like what happened between Jess' and Hoyt because he annoys me a lot. Would much rather have had Jess be with Jason.

Still, besides that, I was happy with everything else, particularly Lafayette getting so lucky with hott James. The dude really knows to make his fringe work for him.


I was also very pleased that Sarah Newlin was the only one who ended up tortured in her own hell on earth. Clearly she's a symbol of everything the show's creators and writers despise. One of the reasons I got  hooked on the show in the first place.

That, and the opening sequence: "I wanna do bad things to you".

I wrote a story about the show before the first season started and I was mad for the opening sequence when the series first started. I listened to it carefully during the finale and realised I still am.

And so, I shall now take a stake and plunge it into the heart of the show ...

Goodbye True Blood.
