The Syndicate

What I really wanted was for Sams daughter to turn into a puppy, and Jasons kid to turn into a panther cub, and have them playing on the lawn as the last shot

This whole season was silly~ it was kinda like Dark Shadows (the show, not the movie). Just so mundane, yet Gothic. I liked all of the supernatural "frills" from the early seasons, like Godric, and all the ancient stuff. Making the center of all this mystery and supernatural awesomeness Bon Temps, then having all of those ludicrous hep v critters was anticlimactic.

I hated that Taras mother got to be vindicated for all the awfulness she perpetrated while on the V, and I don;t even want to go into the Alcide story arc. Can't do it. The last scene (before the Real Blood Epilogue) the picnic table scene, was awful. To be true to the credits, everyone should have died. LOL, harsh, but that is my opinion.

And WTF?? No werepanther cameos in the final show?

I was pretty vampired-out as well, read all the Anne Rices (like Bea, thought they were kinda silly, but still hard to put down for some weird inexplicable reason), did major Buffy time, never read or saw a Twilight, but I did (and still do) love Being Human, I plan on starting the British series soon (I have only seen the USA one), I have been told if I like the US one, i will love the original, and that is one of my favorite shows of all time.

True Blood turned into a bad train wreck IMO, and as such it really is hard to look away from it. The end of last season and the things that are happening in this current season (note to self and anyone else listening; must talk to MP about getting spoiler tags) are silly beyond belief, lol. Just ludicrous. Can't wait to see it tonight It's like a bad Gothic trailertrash soap opera with blood and sex.

I can endure anything so long as they don't bring the werepanthers back

I thought the earlier seasons were more "srs" in that they had better plotlines. The shark-jumping since the werepanthers has been pretty over the top, but it's a guilty pleasure, I still watch it. I heard they got renewed into another season, although this was supposed to be the last year.

Although my "favorites" have moved around, I still like Eric better than Bill, and I have learned to love and appreciate Pam, which really surprises me since I really used to actively dislike her.

I have only read the first book, just out of curiosity really since I was such a fan of the show (my dog is named Sookie, lol) and it was a tad teenagerish for me, so i did not read a second. Should I?
