Oh, True Blood.... here we are, at the end of the season, and all I can think is basically "WTF is going on in Bon Temps?" Here are some thoughts about the last episode, just randomly and in no particular order.
The vampires arrived at Moon Goddess, badass soundtrack and flamethrowers poised and ready until Jason tells them to hold the phone - Sookie's in there, and they can't just level the place to the ground. The vampires grumble about it - hello Bill? Sookie has saved your ass many, many, times (from those drainers, like the first time you met her, remember? And from Lorena/Russell or whatever the hell was going on in Mississippi, and from the hotel when Eric was wandering around in a trance mumbling about killing the king.) And hello Eric? Sookie also saved you, from - uh - running down the street without a shirt on - and she took you in and sheltered you, and she almost certainly influenced Bill's decision on giving you the true death. So all I'm saying is that maybe you should think about that before getting all trigger happy with the torches. And also Jason is really firing on all his cylinders this season. He has been a multi-winner in the box of rocks (dumb as a) competition for many seasons, but this time, he's passed his crown on to other, worthier (dumber) characters.
Oh, and then Marnie shows up and says she's ready to negotiate - and her price for freeing Sookie is the lives of both Bill and Eric, and they agree. I know what I said up there just now, but it seems to me like they gave in to that a little too quickly. From calling her "f****ing Sookie" to being all like "yes, that's a great idea, kill me now!" Evidently, Pam felt the same way, because rather than shooting Bill or whatever she was supposed to do, she let loose a big old fireball that (duh) bounced off the protective wall thing outside the shop, frying poor Jason in the process. Jessica saves him and now there's a blood bond between the two of them, which seems to be spelling showdown between Jason and the increasingly unstable Hoyt.
Inside the witchy workshop, Jesus has finally figured out that the good witch in this scenario is definitely NOT Marnie and that she's crazy with power. The first indication of that was when she "puked a bitch up" in Lafayette's words and then bound Antonia to her. The second indication of that was when one of the witch-wannabes tried to escape and Marnie killed her. Kind of hard to believe that you're the good one when you kill people in cold blood there, Glinda. Jesus then convinces Marnie he feels a pulse in the girl and takes her away to do some brujo shit that ultimately unbonds Marnie and Antonia and sends Antonia off into the beyond of beyond. Finally. Sookie's fairy fingers also play a part in breaking some spells and the vampires come running back in. Bill shoots Marnie and just like that, she's gone. OR IS SHE??? Right at the end, she comes zooming in and gets swallowed by Lafayette. Oh. great.
What else? Andy is walking home from fort bellefleur, trying not to get "lost in the woods retarded" when he comes upon a fairy woman in the woods. She's gorgeous, he thinks he's hallucinating, one thing leads to another, yada yada yada, he promises to protect her. That does not seem like such a great idea.
Sam fights Marcus but, in a move that surprised NO ONE, it's Alcide who deals the final blow. (and that's when we fell for, the leader of the pack - vrrooom! vrooom!) Alcide was also none too thrilled to come back to his own house to find Marcus with Debbie in her underwear. Even though she swore nothing happened, he abjured her, which is a big hairy shifter deal.
I guess we'll have to see what happens on Sunday, although I think that Alcide will become packmaster or get set up for the packmaster contest that appears in the next book. Someone - either Jesus or some other witches, somewhere, will get rid of Marnie once and for all (at least, I hope they do, I'm ready for her to be gone). This will not be a bloodless coup, and I'm worried about Lafayette, and Jesus.
Sookie will choose neither Eric nor Bill, conflicted by her feelings for both of them and repelled by their vampire nature. I think she'll end the season alone (again), setting her up for the possible introduction of Quinn next season.
