True Blood - 2x12 - "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" Thoughts

Sep 20, 2009 23:08

OMFG IT WAS AWESOME! This season in general has been amazing, really picking up the pace as it progressed, and it was all leading towards Maryanne's final showdown with Sam - it didn't disappoint.

Before I watched the episode, I was certain Sam wasn't going to die, but when he was actually stabbed by Maryann, I had a sickening feeling I'd been wrong all along, and I could not believe it! How freaking happy am I that it was all part of Bill's plan?! *is ecstatic* I seriously love Sam, and there's still masses of unanswered questions regarding his shifter nature, his roots and if there are others like him, so to kill him off now would've been tragic. I'M SO GLAD HE'S ALIVE! And that he killed Maryann! *cheers and waves flag in celebration* She was SO fucking annoying, I'm beyond happy that she's dead, and that Sam was the one to end her, considering how she made his life hell and was going to sacrifice him. By the way, the way he pulled out her literal black heart and crushed it? Awesome but pretty gross.

And I KNEW Eggs was going to be the one who died! I just expected it to be during the whole sacrifice/God-is-coming thing, not because JASON SHOT HIM! :-O Holyshitinabox...in a way, I don't blame him because it was to save Andy, but you just know that's going to lead to major angst and guilt in the next season, and I wish he didn't have to go through that :-(. I love that Andy covered for him though, their completely unconventional friendship is actually pretty sweet. On a lighter note, it was amusing how they were literally in the foray for all of 20 seconds before getting taken over by Maryann's evil spell XD. So much for big damn heroes, haha.

Another thing I have to mention, I love Sookie and Tara's friendship, but wow did Tara ever screw up this season. Every time it felt like she made a little progress, she went backwards about 10 steps, and at the expense of her relationships with her friends and family. But, it's pretty awesome how Sookie was constantly there for her, and I hope that Tara can do the same for her in the future, and actually have some decent character growth next season. But having said that, she did just lose the guy she loves, so I see angst and depression in store for her too :-/. Poor Tara, nothing ever goes well for her.

Random other scenes/lines that I loved:

- Lafayette being one of the bridesmaids during the ceremony XD.
- "I love the smell of nail-polish in the morning!"
- The sweet scenes between Sam and Sookie ♥ I love their friendship.
- Terry and Arlene being together. They make a cute couple, and a lovely family with her kids!
- "Um, mama? When you went away for all that time, you didn't see Renee, did you?"/"Uh no, I think he's still on his vacation. Eat, eat!"/"Yup, I'm pretty sure he's dead"/"Yup" XD Smart kids!
- Jason and Andy in Merlotte's - "if a tree falls in the woods, it's still a tree ain't it?" LOL!
- Bill and Jessica! ♥ But I'm bummed she wasn't at home for Hoyt coming over to apologise to her :-(. I hope they get back together!

And OOH! Who took Bill?! Eric is clearly the obvious choice, but then he's too obvious, so I wonder who else it could be, but then I think he's that obvious, maybe they're trying to fool us, like a double-bluff, so it might actually be him...I have no idea. I'm intrigued and excited to find out though!! And sad, because I love Bill and Sookie, and the fact she was going to say yes to his proposal right before he disappeared is a bit gutting. I hope she finds him. I can't wait for S3, it'll be awesome! I just hate we have to wait so long for it, gah. But if it's as good as S2 was, then the wait will be worth it :-D.

tv: true blood, tv shows, in my opinion
