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!

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?

      Honestly... 4 wasn't fun, 5 had unlikeable, annoying, or dull characters... Yeah, to me the magic died with San Andreas.

      Flameshot 14.0 Final by Razvan Serea Flameshot is a free and open-source, cross-platform tool to take screenshots with many built-in features to save you time. Using Flameshot is as simple as launching, dragging the selection box to cover the area you want to capture, making annotations as needed in on-screen and saving the shot to your computer, all with a very simple and straightforward interface. Flameshot allows users to simply upload their screenshots directly to the cloud in order to easily share it with others. You can upload your image directly to Imgur with a single click and share the URL with others. In-app screenshot editing - You can choose to add an arrow mark, highlight text, blur a section (blur or pixelate an area), add a text, draw something, add a rectangular/circular shaped border, add an incrementing counter number, and add a solid color box with Flameshot's built-in editing tools. Command-line interface (CLI) - Flameshot has several commands you can use in the terminal without launching the GUI via a command line interface. The command line interface lets you script Flameshot and use it as the subject of key binds. Flameshot 14.0 release notes: This release brings major improvements to multi-monitor support, fractional scaling support, new capture workflows, and a long list of bug fixes across all platforms. Changelog: New Multi-Monitor Capture Workflow New monitor selection screen before capture for better multi-monitor and mixed-scaling support.

Added legacy X11 fallback option for minimal window managers. New D-Bus capture API for scripting and automation. Windows Enhancements Global screenshot hotkeys now supported (not limited to Print Screen). New portable mode stores settings next to the executable. Clipboard now always uses PNG format for better compatibility. CLI & Platform Updates Redesigned flameshot screen command with per-monitor capture support. Added native Nix Flake support.
