True Blood, Episode 12 “You’ll Be the Death of Me” Let’s Discuss!
This contains big time spoilers. If you haven’t watched the episode, I am advising you turn back now.**
Well folks, that’s it, no more True Blood this year. But, they did manage to go off in a blaze of glory. Well, Bill did anyway. More about that later. I was wondering what kind of finale they would have, and they decided to go old school Dallas style. Let’s make t-shirts Who Killed Whoever That Was? Or Who’s the Body? No takers.

We started the episode with Stupid Hot being really pathetic and giving away all his possessions to his family and friends, because he truly thinks he killed those people. Maybe, next season Jason will have a clue. Did anyone see the telling shot when Sookie showed up at the jail? Sookie made the proclamation that she was this close to solving the murders and they held the shot of Rene ever so long. And for the first time Sookie seemed to relish in her power and didn’t care if anyone knew she was hearing their thoughts. Good for her dumbass! My patience for Sookie waned a few episodes back.
Tara awakes at Maryann’s house, well mansion to find a delicious looking breakfast in a very opulent surrounding. I think I should have majored in social work. But, deep down we can see Tara knows something is really off about this place. She even says it to my new friend Eggs or Terry Benedict. Did anyone else enjoy the tall hot dude playing guitar? What’s his deal? This whole thing did gave Tara a chance to utter a pretty good line, “Collecting stray black people, that a hobby of hers?” But, I also have a question, why would Tara be homeless, she has a best friend who has a whole house to herself, she has a cousin who has a place and she’s sleeping with Sam, who owns property in town. This is a major plot hole they need to plug up next season. Hello Pig! Anyone know what she was doing to that pig in the backyard? And just like we figured out last week Maryann is the maenad. But what does she want with Tara? Did you guys see Karl the butler slip Tara’s phone in his pocket?
Sookie continued to be a total bitch to Sam for some reason. Did you guys catch her why didn’t you smell him comment? And Jason receives a visit from Orry, who wants to recruit Jason for the Fellowship of the Sun. Although we don’t approve of your methods, you did a good thing for your kind, he tells Stupid Hot. Ok, get rid of Orry, he’s a nut job and Jason doesn’t need anymore people telling him what to think, that always ends badly for him. Did anyone see Andy was a rock star for about a half a minute, because everyone in town thought he had caught the killer?
Can we please get more of Terry next season? He didn’t really do much but, I love his one liners, they are great. And, just as many of us already knew Rene was the killer. Rene was definitely someone with deep seated problems. Let’s see what we found out about him. First off his name was actually Drew Marshall. He wasn’t Cajun at all and he has a thing for strangling women with his belt. Nice catch there Arlene! Of course we had a great chase and stand-off in the cemetery, which ended with Sookie decapitating Rene.
Bill got really fucked up trying to save Sookie. He looked like burnt toast, now that’s love. And most importantly, did anyone catch Bill saying he fed, and low and behold Lafayette has been missing for two weeks. I smell a red-herring on this one folks. I don’t think Bill offed Lafayette. I’m standing by the fact I don’t think he’s dead!! He can’t be!!!! NOOOOOOOOO! Jessica’s back by the way and that spells trouble for Bill. And last but not least, Eric! Did you catch the Åh, du ljuva frihet from him? Translation, Oh, sweet freedom. Can he say more things in his native tongue next season, it will greatly appreciated by us all.
Only seven months to go until the second season starts. It’s been a joy discussing this with you guys. The show started off rocky and built up its momentum, to what I read today seems to be poised to overtake the high viewership of the Sopranos. Perhaps this means we will get more seasons in a timely fashion. Now, I’m off to read the first book. I hope some of you guys will join me in that. Thoughts, groans and moans? Theories.
I will leave you guys with these questions for next season:
Was that Lafayette or was it Lettie Mae’s body in Andy’s car?
Again, what does the Maenad want with Tara?
Will there be a love triangle between Tara, Sam and Eggs? Get it Sam and Eggs! Ha!
How does the Maenad know Sam?
What kind of trouble will Jessica get Bill into?
Will Jason become a vampire hating evangelist?
Will Arlene hook up with Terry?
And, where was Sam taking all that cash, and can I have a few stacks?
