Burn Baby Burn
I’ve really enjoyed the phenomenom that is True Blood these last couple of years… until this season. This season has been painfully dull (in my humble opinion) and I have to admit I was very pleased to realize that this past Sunday was the finale.
While I haven’t watched it yet – tonight’s the night – I did read an amazing recap on the episode on io9.com
True Blood Season 3 Finale recap on io9.com
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that season 4 will be like Dexter’s season 4 and redeem itself. Only another year to find out.
I really like this review and actually agree with a lot of what their critiques were. My number one problem was that in the end, I found I just didn't care about any of the characters except Eric and Pam. I am usually a massive Sam fangirl but I don't think I even understand what they are doing with his character anymore. As for the lame ending to the King of Mississippi? I suppose it means he can come back sometime in the future but he deserved such a better ending than that. The only truly awesome part of his story in the last episode was when Sookie dumps Talbot down the sink.
I'm tired of Tara being depressed. I'm tired of the white trash stereotypes. I was not happy with the killing of Calvin Norris, nor Jason suddenly being in charge of a whole community of white trash stereotypes. I'm sure that will just lead to all sorts of misadventures and hilarity!
I don't want it to sound like I don't still love this show, because I do. That moment with Russell on live TV ripping out the spine of the news anchor? Amazing. The season finale just didn't make me feel that sensation of "OHMYGOODNESS I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT SEASON." Instead, my response: "meh. She'll be back."
