![]() ![]() As is his fortune, thanks to Mr Gus’s diabolical plan to turn New Blood into a life-long habit, rather than a one-shot cure. And, to add insult to injury, Bill’s putting the last two people on the planet that he allegedly cares for in danger – if the Yakuza-types in the bar realise there’s a vamp not-curing party going on downstairs, Sookie won’t have the chance to live the Bill-free life he’s decided she’s got to have.Īt least the ever-self interested Eric Northman hasn’t allowed his principles to get in the way of the lifestyle to which he’s become accustomed – having drunk from Sarah despite his distaste, his presence is assured for the rest of the season.

The GoT-style no-one’s-safe massacre of the early part of the season is one thing, but it’s a whole different deal when the cause of death is self-inflicted, a deathly refusal of help that smacks of self-indulgence and a badly misplaced sense of nobility.

Finality and more than a touch of forgiveness. For us anyway – as True Blood’s final season creeps ever-nearer to its conclusion, there was a distinct air of finality to the proceedings this week.
