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?

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.

    • How to fix a Secure Boot error on Windows 11: No boot device found.

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
