The seventh and final season promises a lot of emotions as it delves into the personal lives of individuals. Bon temps is attacked by a vicious gropu of rogue H-vamp; Sookie risk her life for Bill; Lafayette helps Lettie resolve her loud relationship with Tara.
Even though it started with a feeding frenzy and splintered off into a series of independent storylines, "Jesus Gonna Be Here" did a brilliant job of uniting Sookie, Bill, Alcide, Jason, Pam and the rest of Bon Temps in a haze of fearful determination.
True Blood is wildly entertaining, what with its peek into the seamy underbelly of vampire politics, the integration of several supernatural species, and small town life/afterlife.
This is a show so stuck in a quagmire of nonsense that it introduced a ridiculous six-month time jump in last season's finale to get out of the nonsense -- and yet when the show picks up here, it becomes clear it is still stuck in a quagmire of nonsense.
Although the series could have continued - maybe by introducing zombies or mummies - True Blood had nowhere to go but in circles. It was time to put a stake in it.
