True Blood season 6 ep 9
So, I watched this, and have ended up....
Spoilers behind cut.
....at times moved (the Terry's funeral scenes), at times feeling a bit sick (Eric's killing spree), at times feeling a bit sick but laughing at the same time (Jason telling the psychiatrist he shouldn't have told Eric what he told him, Jason cheerfully greeting the dismembered corpses of his former comrades as he followed Eric down the corridor), at times pleased (Jessica didn't die, and neither did James), at times slightly bored (the Sookie/Warlow scene), at times pleasantly surprised (Lettie Mae's pastor was very compelling, I can see why Arlene chose him to conduct the funeral, Alcide was much improved too), and a lot of the time just plain puzzled.
I don't understand Lilith's plan. If it was her plan. Why was she so focused on Bill saving the vampires locked in the white room? What about all the others that Eric set free? I suppose it could be something to do with whatever happens in the final episode. Eric let everyone go, but they all drank the infected TruBlood except for the vampires in the white room. All those other vampires will die. So, in vampire terms, Bill saved the righteous (yes, I know it's a bit of a stretch), whereas Eric unleashed hell on earth.
And none of it made him feel any better about Norah.
I still have no idea what will happen to Eric in the final episode, but I can't help thinking that final scene of him and Pam looking at each other in daylight for the first time ever had echoes of Godric's death scene in season 2. Needless to say, I hope I'm as wrong about this as I was about James and Jessica.
I enjoy True Blood a lot, despite its campiness, and despite the fact that the show obviously expects us to just blink and forget the atrocities committed by the vampire characters we like (well, they may have to be penitential for a bit, as I'm sure Bill will be, but they'll soon be forgiven, and even the ones who aren't penitential (Pam, for instance) the audience will carry on liking). But a lot of my enjoyment is tied up in the vampire characters as an ensemble. I don't want any more of them to die/leave, especially not Eric. If nothing else, Bill needs him as a foil.
Oh, anyway. Overthinking it. It was fun, and I'm looking forward to dear little Jason having erotic dreams about Eric.
