True Blood 4x11 - "Soul of Fire" (spoilers)
- Thread starter OmahaStar

I agree that the morality on the show is fucked up (something that bothered me for example is, why didn't Sookie care at all that Eric murdered her fairy godmother? ok, she doesn't have to grief for months, but just to shrug it off like "oh well, what can you do" and fuck her murderer? Not to mention her ignoring the vampires' murdering ways in general all the time...), but you're really making a mistake looking at the story the way you do, stj. It simply is not as deep as you make it out to be. I read all the books, and although the tv show storyline is significantly different, it's basically nothing but slightly sleazy women's romance fiction. There's not that much more to it. You don't have to analyse everything everything to death, just enjoy it as it is or leave it.
This whole season has been a real waste of Jessica. It seems like they could have done so much more with Bill and Jessica and examining the maker-progeny relationship.
I've decided to quit True Blood after this episode. The endless Sookie-Bill-Eric triangle with Alcide now attached. Sookie's lack of character development and the annoying need to maintain her "purity" and her naive mentality. Characters' actions and behavior bouncing from stupid to erratic to slow-thinking. The handful of moments which gives the show some awesomeness but only temporary. I can't take it anymore.
Put that way, it's hard to disagree. I suppose what's really happening is that there isn't much fun in the endless murders. Thus it was great fun watching Marnie kick their asses. I'm not sure I'll watch next season, especially since the offerings on HBO are so slim I might drop it.
Wow! Not even gonna stick it out for the finale Joe? The handful of moments of awesomeness are pretty much what salvaged the season for me once it kicked into high gear.
I rather watch a show that's more than a handful of awesome moments (Breaking Bad, Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy, etc.) than a show with a small handful of those moments. I'll watch the "inside episode" video on the finale after it airs and read what happened in the finale in the forum but nothing else.
I enjoy those shows too, well not SoA, since I haven't started that one yet, but I just find it odd that you've invested 11 hours into this season and then will proceed to cut yourself off from the finale itself. On top of that, would rather watch a summary of the finale and read reviews of what other people thought of the finale. Any future hypothetical posts of yours regarding this seasons finale will be incomplete because I know you didn't watch it. But to each their own, I guess.
Ugh... All I have to say. Some of the low points of the season in this episode, as far as character actions:
- Sookie joining hands with the witch circle, without being forced to do so?
- Eric willing to commit suicide?
- Bill willing to commit suicide?
You know the episode is in a truly bad state when Jesus (usually the most annoying character) ends up being the best one.
Someone else nailed it on the head with how disjointed this whole season has seemed. Do no other people in the town react to the Vamp/Witch war?
Thankfully the Shifter/Werewolf part of the episode was better.

The people of Bon Temps, LA and it's surrounding areas are about as effectual as the people of Sunnydale, CA ever were.
Plus it doesn't help that there are entire 'Glamor' squads of vampires roaming the areas in case anything truly egregious happens in the public eye. Otherwise any singleton reports are just Anti-Vamp Propaganda.

Her fairy godmother led her into a trap that took away a year of her life and it's not like they had any sort of relationship beforehand. It's a case of good riddance.
I wasn't able to watch the episode when it aired last week, as I was in Atlanta, but I've seen it now ... I've read through the posts, and see a few viewers aren't happy with the direction of the show. And that's too bad. I'm still enjoying it, and I completely enjoyed this episode.
At first, I wondered why they would kill Marnie in the penultimate episode, until the end when she inhabits LaLa's body, a plot point which references something that happened only a few episodes ago.
I didn't get the bloodbath promised by Alan and the cast. I can only assume that in the episode that airs tonight, it'll happen.
Jesus is hot. The shot of him and LaLa laying down together and he's shirtless ... Rawr, baby.
Jason seems to have the "real thing" for Jessica, which means he'll probably be deeply infatuated with her and it'll be a long-term relationship. Which, for Jason, is two episodes. And since Hoyt doesn't know about it yet, that means something explosive is going to happen in the finale.
I was a tad bit disappointed we didn't get another cameo from Gran, since Sookie was back in the shop.
Who the hell is this new Fairy, and why is she all about Andy? Just like her ball of light, it came out of nowhere.
I am so over Debbie Pelt and the whole Were storyline. It's time for her to die, please.
