Sookie Sluthouse!

Tell me, if Warlow is so damn ancient and powerful how can Sookie subdue him and he not be able to defend himself against Eric?  Lame...just like most of this season.

I guess the fairy light is THAT powerful!

They are badly written, but that's what makes it fun for me, I laugh a lot while reading them  

for me it is not fun to read a badly written book, just painful. lol. 50 shades of grey is the worst book ever written. The most horrendous, torturous, painful book I ever read. Despite is being so scathingly bad, I still tried to finish the whole thing. But I could not. It took me 2 months to read the first half of the book and I gave up when I was about 2/3 of the way through.

are publishing houses becoming like record labels, where even the super Untalented can still get book deals and get published because their subject matter is racy, even though they don't even have a pinky's worth of writing talent? That is just terrible

I've not read, nor will I read 50shades of grey, from what I have heard it sounds silly.

omly read it if you want to see just how horrendously bad a book can be, and if so borrow it from someone instead of spending money on it. That is what i did

utter garbage the episode today was

So let me get this straight. Bill saves all the vamps, everyone can walk around in the sun, Eric leaves and Jason lets Sarah escape....

How are they going to wrap up a war between Vampires and humans in one episode next week?

Not to mention Sookie & Warlow, ack.....

jesse do you have no feelings at all? I liked Terry's funeral, that was sweet and tender. The whole rescuing of the vamps was too quick and easy and tidy. Of course it cant end that neat and easy! The calm before the storm! I really have no idea what next week is going to bring and I am excited for it!

I understand maybe Jason couldnt kill Sarah, which is why he should have held her hostage and handed her over to Eric or Bill or someone else to do it for him! Stupid Jason!

and I loved it when Steve Newlin screamed "I love you...Jason Stackhouse!" as he looked at Sarah right before he died!

the one thing about this show that does irk me is how it is that small town lousiana, of all places in th whole world, would be the epicenter for all supernatural creatures, as well as where the battle between humans and vamps are being fought. I mean really, if there was such a thing as vamps and such, I would think these events would be more likely to be mostly taking place in a large well known city like say Paris, or something.

That was funny  

I think that they set it in a small town because they want to portray that if they existed they would hide in out of the way places or something like that.

It's also probably cheaper to film in a small town  

HATED the first half hour of the finale, but the last half hour was quite interesting, I liked it, the best part was the scene between Tara and her mom.

And OMG Erik's kibbles and bits!

I really hope he's just singed and not dead. Hmmmm not happy they fried Erik. He's the best bit!

I'm sure Pam somehow saved him!

I would be really surprised if Erik received the true death. The way they did it, it was so abrupt. Also when the fast forwarded to 6 months, I think if Erik had perished, it would have been mentioned. Like you would think bill or sookie would have made a reference to it.

I loved the finale. i loved that Bill and Jason saved sookie from Warlow. I especially loved that Jason was the one who killed him. And the whole thing with him and Violet is HYSTERICAL! Though she is way too intense, that is def trouble.

Not surprised that sookie ended up with Alicide, not sure if I will like them together though. They see like a boring couple but that is hard to judge, I guess we will have to find out next season.


Overall I enjoyed this season the best. I enjoyed that it was slower, less action packed and not over the top. It focused more on the characters rather than the stories. That was a nice change from all the previous seasons. The only thing I didnt like was Bill freeing himself from Lilith was wayyyy too easy. I feel like there should have been a battle for the win between him and her.
