OFFICIAL: True Blood Season 6 Discussion (Spoilers)

Great start to the season. Obviously the threesome was hot. Billith is interesting, far more interesting now than he would have been as just an all powerful, but out of control, uber vampire.

The Louisiana governor story line will be interesting.
 
I notice season 2 gets quite a bit of hate, but I don't think it's warrented.

I didn't love season 2 the first time I watched it, but I've rwewatched it since then and I think it might be the best season of the show.

Every second Godric is on screen is gold. The Maryanne stuff was actually pretty awesome in hindsight. The level of insanity just kept building, and building, and building until it reached a point of no return. They even killed off a fairly major character (in a way I wasn't expecting)...

lots of love for every season of this show, but I think season 2 might actually be the best one.
 
So, they have this huge jaw dropping season 5 finale, where Bill explodes and looks to be everything but alive, and now he's back like nothing has happened?

Nothing has changed except for the fact that he is uber powerful, can fly, has telekinesis, and survived being staked through the chest.
 
A show I used to watch with the wife.
I used to actually enjoy it. She loved it. I only watched it for her...but then I started to get into it.
Now, she can't even watch it anymore because it's gotten so bad.

It really has gone way downhill
 
Generally speaking I've always enjoyed everything to do with the main vampire storylines but found a lot of the sub-plots to be rather lacking. I haven't watched the premiere but it sounds like this season focuses more on the vampires again, so woo hoo for that!

I thought season 5 was a huge step up from season 4.
 
Can't wait to watch this after work, sounds like you all enjoyed it

Right, apart from that, nothing.

Nothing beats Russell, so 3 and 5 get the nod over 2 for me, but Godric's close. The Fellowship of the Sun storyline was as sharp as it was funny, bringing in the Queen was great, Bill and Eric's rivalry heating up was awesome, and, like you said, everything with Godric. And I did enjoy the Maryann stuff, just not as much in the beginning, much more once Sookie, Jason, Bill, and Eric returned from Dallas and everybody converged into that storyline towards the end of the season.

He's not back like nothing happened. Everybody, including and most of all Bill himself, has acknowledged the change.

It really has gone way downhill

I'll never understand this. Outside of the minor stumble with Season 4, which, with the Eric/Sookie relationship at the very least was far from a total loss, the show has been steadily improving season by season, with last season being the best yet, IMO.

It definitely looks like this season will deal heavily with the vampires similar to last season, though I think it'll make for an interesting dynamic if/when, based on some of the clips, the other supes join forces with the vampires for survival, as they've all gone about their business entirely separate from each other in the past.
 
Just watched it this morning. Damn solid episode. Pretty interested in the shit to come.
 
I was concerned they jumped the shark with Billith, but it's still a fun ride so far.
 
So Bill is some Godlike vampire now? This season looks pretty interesting and crazy. I do feel like watching the old seasons now though, much like I did with GoT.

I loved in season 2 when the vampires were all away dealing with the fellowship of the sun stuff. I was sitting there thinking "I wonder what is going to go down when they all get back and see this woman making a mess of Bon Temps", and I was super excited when they introduced that Vampire Queen woman. I'm also looking forward the moment where a second maynad shows up and gets into a brawl with spanish-magic Layfette.

I found season 3 to be great because of Russel, but dissapointing because the werewolves were just dog-men who weren't as tough as Sam. I still think this show really missed the mark on werewolves. Werewolves (ala American Werewolf in London) are supposed to be ferocious and frightening and I just think there could have been so much more mystery and danger associated with them. As it stands a werewolf is just a hillbilly-dog man who would lose in a fight to any human with a good shotgun. They are hardly better than humans.

I agree. I liked season 2 probably the best. I haven't seen season 5 though.

Jason getting a hand job from the hot religious girl was awesome.
 
There was something different about last night
 
It can't really be following the books can it? And, this isn't GOT where the books popularity and cultlike syndrome took off. I only know one person who has read the books, and said it jumped the shark in S01. Its just candy eye vampire porn, and though boring sometimes, entertains.
 
I didn't know how "normal" Bill would turn out to be subsequent to last season's finale, so from that vantage point, them killing him was the only resolution I could see. Based on tonight's episode, with the weird possession angle, now I'm thinking the most likely scenarios are either die with Lilith or exorcize her and go back to regular Bill. And, depending on how it's done, an exorcism could actually be pretty cool. I like that there's now a possibility that Bill survives this, though there's also a possibility, beyond either Eric or someone else killing him or him getting some sort of exorcism, that he does some kind of sacrificial gesture to save Sookie from Warlow.


What's weird about it? It would seem to make perfect sense based on Warlow's connection to the Stackhouse family, though his specific presence there at that moment definitely needs some explaining. And I'm wondering what the deal is with the vampire they keep showing in flashes with the beard and the big hat. Are they one and the same? And there's that brief clip of Warlow in what looks to be the fairy club from last year, which is not exactly a hospitable environment for vampires.

Still too much up in the air for me to actually come down on a good/bad side with that storyline.

Well, remember, this shit just started. This is the first episode, and while a year has passed since we last dealt with the events of Bon Temps, not that much time has passed in the actual storyworld.

Again, you're talking about something, in the storyworld, that literally just happened.

I can't keep up with your overanalyzation (play on playa).

Warlow to me doesn't make sense wrt #2, the war on vamps.

So, in deference to this being the start of the season, it CAN make sense, given the War on vamps picks up.

Meaning, I think Warlow is a stupid distraction with what could be a huge story plot line of a major "war" on vamps.

Given it hasn't happened, we'll see.


/got me on the last one.

Billeth is sort of annoying, it would have been more fun if he nuked DC or something. The character was looking on his way out (he went all nuts /psycho for lilith in the last season), and just comes out pretty rational with a weird resurrection/possesion bit?

/jason rules

/three kids grown to like 5-8 is hilarious
 
Any clue as to who the hippie chick who threw the blood balloon at the governor was? She kind of looked like that crazy Amy chick that Jason was having trippy V sex with a few seasons ago.
 
Finally caught the first ep, thought it was awesome.

Anyone else notice that Moyer was the director of this episode too? He's done two above average episodes so far.
