True Blood Season Finale Suckage

**Warning: This contains spoilers for the season three finale of True Blood. You have been warned!**

What the heck happened? I swear last nights episode of True Blood felt completely out of place. My first concern is about Sookie…what did you do to her? Seriously, where did she go? I know I’m a reader of the books and that sways my opinions a lot about characters, but I think that even if you’re just a fan of the show you’ve seen that Sookie is not a mean or spiteful person. Her interactions with Russell felt completely out of character for me. The Sookie I have grown to love would protect herself for sure, but to purposely “torture” Russell by throwing the remains of his loved one down the garbage disposable, is just a step too far out of normal for her; I didn’t like it.

As for the “cliff hangers,” I hated those as well. Did Sam shoot and kill is brother? Does anyone even care!?! Is Tara gone for good? I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that would think that Tara’s departure would be a good riddance for the show anyways. Where did Sookie go in fairyland and why are these fairies so fraking lame? Am I the only person that cringes when Claudine appears? This fairy crap is just that…crap! Who will win the fight between the Queen and Bill? Again, who cares!?! And speaking of their fight, when did True Blood turn into the Matrix? I hope to never see the start of a fight mid-air ever again. That fight belongs and should stay in the Matrix only. What were you thinking Alan Ball?

I like the idea behind Eric’s choice to incase Russell in concrete so he could lament over the lose of Talbot but this just ensures that Russell is not gone yet. Yes, he’s being tortured for centuries and that is totally something Eric would do, but it leaves it open to Russell coming back and he’ll be madder than heck. I’m hoping and praying he stays put because I’ve had enough of Russell as well.

I was just overall disappointed with last nights episode; Finales usually have a wow factor. I kept waiting and waiting and it never happened. This was shocking to me because this season has been so fast paced, action packed and just truly bizarre from the start, that the finale had to have something special. Instead it felt like too much of a filler episode where they wanted to end certain storylines and set-up new ones. Had this episode been any other episode than the finale it would have been less disappointing.

Now, I hate being negative so let me focus on the few positives of the show. As a reader, I knew the witches were coming and I’m looking forward to seeing them. I like the foreshadowing they showed with that crazy-spooky doll in Hoyt and Jessica’s new place. You can tell something will happen there by the eerie music they played; they wanted you to notice that tore-up looking doll. I adore Lafayette so I’m glad to see them pulling him into witchcraft area. I also love Jesus but I’m predicting that he being a witch and Lafayette’s yet to be revealed history will start to clash.

My favorite moment though was short and sweet last night. Eric finally nailed the coffin shut for Bill and Sookie’s romance by revealing the secrets Bill had been keeping from her. Now, I realize there isn’t much in the show to make me Team Eric, it’s mostly based on the books, but I was internally screaming “YES!” because I can’t stand Bill and this is finally opening up the Eric reign. So I’ll end this here blog a little cryptically…bring on the amnesia!!!
