I feel like this was the most random episode of any series ever made. The plot wasn't coherent, and the development of characters throughout this series has been drab at best. I'm rather upset by the lack of thought put into the season 4 finale. I never felt the aesthetic emotion you typically get from watching True Blood - I was actually on the verge of laughter the entire episode. I do hope that Alan Ball chooses a better direction for season 5. If not, he will be left with the fans that only love the blood and sex... and a plotless, gory porn.

Did anybody ever wonder how Alcide felt about Debbie dying? it's still his why, he can't just brush that off.

I agree this season (four) has lacked alot to be desired. The only element I enjoyed was the short-lived Sookie and Eric romance. The witch thing was drug out like the maenad of season two. It was pretty sad they wrapped up the witch thing so acutely as they did. I think instead of being so geared up to line up storylines to begin season five; they lost sight of ending season four. I'd like to see them make Sookie back into the strong character she was in season one. She has become a doormat; kicking no butt. The hot sex and fighting scenes were tappered off too. If they don't strive to improve the show; it will be a matter of time til there is no show. HBO doesn't invest in shows long term if there isn't direction and purpose in doing so.

The final episode sucked and I am SO tired of watching Sookie and the boys play around each other's tale all day long, why don't they just give us a break. I would've ended this lame episode when Erica said: "What a bitch". Bam, black screen + awesome song. God, I hope Tara dies, that actress playing her gets on my nerves every fuc**ng episode, I can't stand her anymore; and the writing is so bad that they make all the actors seem like they're really poor actors; I'm guessing the directing isn't the best either. I'm so dissappointed that I qon't even be watching the next season anymore. It sucked too much. It's either a disgusting amount of blood and sex or a disgusting amount of talk, they can't seem to find the perfect balance for the show, with a little extra for each episode. Bleax.

I was really disappointed with the whole show..too much talk and not enough action...I am beyond pissed that they killed off jesus!! He was a great character and it seemed so pointless for it to happen because they didn't even expand on Marnie and the brujo really. I have a feeling that tara won't die, but I really wouldn't miss her much. I do agree with the post..best part of the show was Pam's rant!

I thought the season finale of true blood was great and i can't wait until next season. I think that alcide and sookie are going to end up together...i am glad that debbie is dead cause she was a crazy bitch. And i hope that taras not dead cause that is sookies childhood friend. But i guess we will all find out happens next season,i just wish they didnt wait so long between seasons thats all.

I bought all the charlene harris books and I liked the series up until that "Marianne" BS. Since then the sex and vampire danger, has been sugared down until niether exist in a episode anymore. I am really tired of seeing Jason's sex scenes, no matter whom they are with. I though as a season finale this episode failed. And if Mr Ball and HBO are smart next year will have all of the following:
1. Sex ( Vampire-Eric) with a real Sookie, not a "let's pretend this isn't happening Sookie.
2. Rene is dead - leave him dead. King of Missippi - leave him dead
3. Get back to the original C.Harris storyline, please??????

U people need to read the books taras never supposed to die. And she probably won't, bill or eric will most likely save her or turn her. In the book its supposed to be eric who takes the bullet and he's not even supposed to have his memory back yet. The books are better than the show. But the show is one of my favs and it is very exciting at least in my eyes. I can't wait to see what season 5 brings!!! Oh and russel is never supposed to be as evil as he is either. And good riddance to debbie pelt!

I agree with Pam ... I'm so over Sookie and her little love triangle. I hope that she's not as annoying next season now that she supposedly is not longer involved with Bill or Eric.
As for Tara, I don't think she's going to die ... with Sookie screaming "someone help me" after both Bill and Eric drank her blood and being a house away from them, they will both be there to "save" her, although I'm sure she'd rather not be saved by either of them.

If Tara is really dead what I somehow doubt I'm pissed off. I like her. Always did and she's taken so much crap in her life it woudn't be fair to let her die for fucking Sookie^^ On this part I agree so much with Pam. I'm SO tired of seeing every man on True Blood salivating over Sookie! For heaven's sake. Yes she's blonde and not ugly but what in the world is so special about her??? Actually Pam's outbreak was the only thing that made me hot for season 5. This jealousy could be interessting. Besides this I had a feeling we are running in circles. Russel once again.... instead Tara's boyfriend Jesus dies. Debby is going nuts...AGAIN! without a reason since SHE cheated on Alcide and his break up had nothing to do with Sookie!
To be honest the only things that surprised me in the last two episodes was Andy getting seduced by a pretty fairy and having actually sex...I mean WTF? and Bill and Eric wearing both the same bathrobes. I had the feeling to puke!
And just when I started to lik

I have been disappointed by this entire season. I used to love this show, and I love the supporting cast so much, but I have despised the writing this season, especially for the 'main three'- Sookie, Bill and Eric. This season had so much potential, with Eric's memory loss, but as he automatically regained his memories there are no consequences to his amnesia. I really wish to be through watching this show, but am so intrigued by the supporting story lines- especially that of Russell Edgington. I promised myself I would be through, but now they have to go and bring him back.
I don't know what to think about this show, other than I hope the writers get their shit together for season 5. They are basically running on having an attractive cast- not good writing or talent. And that's sad.

I absolutely hated the episode, until Bill and Eric killed Nan, Debie killed Tara and Sookie killed Debie. Good job, everyone! (Especially Debie for killing Tara, hated her!)

I am so disappointed with TRUE BLOODas a whole. I think it's the pits how Mr. Ball has changed Charlene Harris extremely excellent books to this sometimes horrific crap! I know this is Hollywood but why can't the man let good writing alone and follow with Charlene's super storyline. His changes are and make some of the actors look so stupid! And I can name names, but will be nice and won't! Please tell me what is wrong with Charlene Harris original plots? Mr. Ball has made such a mess of the show, I don't see how in the world he can even keep up who is who, and what is going on. Come on Mr. Ball, go back to story lines like season one. Give the credit where credit is due to Mrs Harris. Just throw in the towel Mr. Ball, realize how you got there in the first place, by Charlene Harris excellent SookieStackhouse Vampire Series. Not Mr. Alan Ball's Interpatation.Leave well enough alone. You have RUINED the show. I am tired of watching poor acting. As for the finale, so disappoin

Ok it may have not been the best episode of the season, but it was damn good! I agree with the reviewer when he says that no significant deaths ever occur on the show, but not tara! she's a great character, she's strong and she sets an example. Glad Sookie finally killed the other bitch. Can't wait for next season

That last 3 minutes were the best part of this season. I hope Tara is dead, I like what the character was but she has grown to be a random person that appears for no real reason much like Andy - who, should be killed in S5. Well he should of been killed in S1 or 2.
I have to be honest though, I thought Eric or Bill would appear and save Tara and I thought Sookie would let Debbie go so I'm glad neither happened. Sookie screaming out for help pulled on my heart strings a little as well.
Not a good episode, not a bad one. As a season finale, boring. But as a cliffhanger, fantastic.

Ok agreeing with the reviewer, the Season build up the Witches arc just to put it out so quickly. I was hoping for a episode long battle instead we cut to Eric and Bill stringed up and Grandma Stackhouse saving the day. Not bad but not great either. Great thig though, we finally have Sookie stepping out having to be between Eric and Bill. As much as I love them both, like Sookie I can't choose between them, which is y I can't wait to see Alcide take up the mantle!!! Kudos to Nelson Ellis and his performance here and RIP Tara and Jesus ( they better find a way to bring her back!!!!) Good riddens Debbie!!! Nan, no real lost but her wit will be missed. I think they also spent too much time on the Jassica Romance in this last episode and NOT enough on the shocking developments such as: 1.) Jason turning to a werepanther ( I was really hoping to see Jason deal with more of the Supernatural in his OWN way. 2.) Fairies: Why drop them in on the second to last episode and NOT use them!!! Not ri
