It was complete bullsht that they killed Tara in the very beginning of the episode, even before the damn theme song. Tara was so tortured throughout the series- she deserved better.

Rewatched before reading the series and both took wrong turns. The series ending comes off very much like what a man would think a woman would do, (as do many of the mistakes throughout the series that turned off viewers) and the book comes off with this predictable and unrealistic ending, ‘oh of course, it was really *you* all along’. If this show comes back the writers need to take a note from Bridgerton, people WANT the people they have followed to end up getting their happily after ever- together. Knowing when friends gave up watching, the mistakes are easy to pick out. They went wrong by having Sookie throw tantrums - first after getting Bill back from Loretta and next after finding out he lied to her about their first meeting. She knew by then, well and good, that he truly loved her and turning her back on him and acting like a child was completely out of character and out of touch with what any breathing woman would actually do. Choosing ‘herself’ after Eric gets his memory back was something so cliche, and reeked of an attempt by a man to show her as fierce- NO. It just came off as stupid. Lastly, again, is the ending. Throughout the whole series she can’t stand when others decide what is best for her. Bill stands up for her even when she isn’t there and throughout he’s the only one consistently letting HER choose. Then he suddenly decides that she can’t make her own decisions?! Even as is, she could have used any number of arguments to make him try to live, including- ‘how about you get well and if you still want to commit suicide we can talk about it?’ She could have threatened to kill herself for forcing this on her. She could have appealed to his common sense that he was choosing to die because of a fever dream- and again, if he still wanted it after the illness was gone, then they could talk. All of that is just for starters. These are some of the mistakes that turned people off. Viewers wanted to see Bill and Sookie get their happy ending.

[@gustavoboostel]

There's no way anyone liked that ending. The truth is that they thought it would be “different” for Sookie not to end up with either of the two people involved in the love triangle, and it was different, but different in a terrible way.

[@MalissiaCreates]

Agreed. And the flash forward, six months and we missed the whole Alcide romance story and jumped right into the end of the relationship was awful. I see why Alan Ball left the show but we got the worst ending.

Also, the ending was horrible like I definitely didn’t like her not ending up with Eric, I feel like we all need some closure.😂😂

[@atouchofclass07]

[@CindyAlexius]

I'm so obsessed with True Blood and have watched each season so many times that I still listen (and sing) the theme song every freaking episode!!!! I need Eric and Pam in my life always. I could listen to Bill say "Sookie" on repeat. Oh My Goodness this is the first time I'm hearing Stephen and Anna speak. I had no idea they weren't American. BRING BACK TRUE BLOOD!!!!!

[@Iidis299]

I just finished watching the entire show from season 1 to 7. I had not watched it since it aired. And I remember being somewhat disappointed in the end back then, but now that I saw it for the second time it all made more sense. It had to end the way it did with Bill dying the true death. Of course it is sad when the main characters didn't get to live happily ever after and one of the main charachters dying. I think it is better to end with a bang than keep going and going and going when a show often looses its appeal. You have to end somewhere.

I’ve watched the first five seasons 4-5 times and *just* tonight finished the series. I was beside myself the entire last season desperate to know what happened, and besides being upset about a few main characters’ deaths, and of course screaming the whole last episode, I thought they wrapped it up beautifully! So true to all the characters and of course very gutwrenching. Loved it, would love to see everyone again. Especially Pam!

Resolve Alcede???? Spoiler alert- he’s FCKNG DEAD. If that’s not “resolved”, I don’t know what is. 🤷🏼‍♀️Also, justice for my baby Tara. She deserved soooo much better. All these years later and her careless, callous and casually cruel death as an almost afterthought STILL pisses me off to this day. 😡 And last but definitely not least: The Juilliard trained actor Nelsan Ellis as Lafayette was simply a phenom of a performance. It was damn near perfect. His character arc was everything too. But his meticulously crafted, nuanced, full embodiment of the character Lafayette? There aren’t enough adjectives…but I’ll try. 😂Superb. Brilliant. Gut wrenching. Authentic. And ultimately triumphant. But to the very end, his was nothing short of a truly phenomenal performance. Sadly, Nelsan passed away a few years back now. No one else, and I mean NO ONE, could ever fill his shoes in that role. He owned that role. Lafayette IS Nelsan Ellis. And vice versa. If they ever tried to recast that role, any actor they may put in there, would be set up to fail from the start. At no fault of their own. 🤷🏼‍♀️because any time they may appear on the screen it would only serve as a tragic reminder that a brilliant performer and artist’s life was cut way too short.
