This show has really gone down hill for me. I just have little to no interest in any of the side stories with Hoyt/Jessica.... Terri/Fire Demon...Tara. Hate it even more that the writers had the nerve to setup that whole fairy/light fruit/human harvester then drop it completely for at least a whole season, then return only to explain it as some BS about fairies take on a form.. blah blah.. just weak writing and a cop out for screwing things up. I never read any of the books so I dont know how much the show sticks to it but its def dropped a few spots on my list since the early seasons.

I didn't like the way

the guardian died. He was made out to be a badass but didn't even put up a fight, and all the other people in the room just stood there and watched

yeah but he's 500 years old and Russell is 3000 he would easily overpower him and all of them easily except Salom? who is over 2000 but she's helping him it seems

It's drifted away from the books completely now. It was slowly doing so from the start, but this season it's abandoned them completely which has been really jarring and ruined most of the main characters - for instance the start of the new season takes place about 2 days, in story terms, after the end of the last one - yet instantly Eric says "**** Sookie" and hooks up with his vampire sister (not in the books, either) - and now he's randomly started caring about Sookie again.

They should have stuck to the books more, because the writers really are quite bad when they have to rely on their own stuff and their own character development - to the point where most characters come across as two completely different people from episode to episode.

Hrmm yeah the shows not what it was, I think its because theres so many subplots going on that it becomes a bit like a soap opera (putting the drama and plot to one side). I mean theres always been ridiculous and funny stuff throughout the seasons so sam on the floor and bill riding eric were intentional not to result of stupidity. Eitherway its always nice to see truebloods resident obiwon make an appearance.

They've completely butchered it, it gets worse with every episode. None of the characters are at all like they were in previous seasons.

Did they get a completely new team of writers or what?

Yeah, Bill's sudden personality turn around is the worst. Not even remotely in character or believable.

"I am 3000 years old!"

epic!

I've been waiting to see how long it would take for him to say F this BS. Evil Russell is the best!

Yeah, Bill's sudden personality turn around is the worst. Not even remotely in character or believable.

I'm just hoping he is playing the long game, but with Russell on the warpath perhaps this will persuade him to change back.

Erm so what happened to Bill at the end?

He went liquid terminator on them. I guess this means he is going to be the new God Vampire or whatever.

Different unrelated spoiler

Am I the only one that is sad that Russell got taken down so easily?

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
