OMG..Did You See The True Blood Finale?

So have you watched it yet? If you haven't, LEAVE THE PAGE NOW. I will not beheld responsible for the spoilers! The post might be a little long but bear with me...it's 2 a.m. and I'm excited!

Still with me? Fantastic!

Who could have anticipated that the title of the finale would have been taken so literal? "And if I die..."; the season finale ended with a bang! First up on the list of surprises, Jesus dies :(. He gave the ultimate sacrifices; his life and his magic to keep Lafayette safe. It was very sad to watch, though I couldn't help thinking that Marnie had no other host to possess at the moment, so Lala would have probably been okay if Jesus had held out. However, we all know that Marnie is one crazy lunatic so who's to tell if she wouldn't have really plucked Lafayette's eyeball out and had it for breakfast?

Fast forward a few scenes, and we are at King Bill's mansion, and Mrs Crazy herself has Bill and Eric both bound in silver and ready to be burned at the stake. At this point in time, I'm so over Marnie...I just wanna see her go but not at Lafayette's expense. Holly draws a circle with salt and she, along with Sookie and Tara start chanting and then shit gets real. Out from the cemetery walks a bunch of dead people, including Antonia and Adele (Sookie's grandmother) who pulls Marnie the fuck out of Lafayette. Antonia convices her to finally get her crazy ass up on out of the show and Adele leaves Sookie with some real good advice: 'don't be afraid to be alone'.

While all this is going on Jason is once again fucking Jessica, even after Hoyt kicked his ass earlier and tells him that he will never experience the kind of love and passion that he and Jessica once shared with anyone because "something is missing from inside of him". I think Hoyt's anger was heightened from Jason's elaboration on the many different sex positions that he and the forever virgin Jessica had tried. In a naughty Red Riding Hood costume, mid-ride, Jessica tells Jason she's not ready to commit to him, that way she wont hurt him the way she did Hoyt. She leaves to feed, telling Jason that she's not ready for the 'intimacy' and who shows up at Jason's door after she leaves?

 None other than Reverend Steven Newlin sporting a brand new set of fangs. I imagine Rev Vamp is experiencing quite a bit of self - loathing at the moment, seeing he's been turned into the thing he hates the most. But why is he at Jason's house? And who turned him?

Sookie chooses neither Bill nor Eric and I mean, seriously people, did you not see that one coming? She really couldn't be with either of them without hurting the other and its Sookie! Miss-Do-Good...sunshine and daisies...this was the way it was going to play out. Furthermore, Gran did tell her to not be afraid to be alone and that girl took those words right to heart and ran with it.

What's crazier than Rene showing up at Merlotte's to warn Arlene about Terry? Poor Arlene was so freaked out after she pinched herself and realized she had fallen asleep. It was odd that Rene was warning her about Terry though, he's such a sweet loving guy. But did you realize the way he looked at her when he introduced her to his Marine buddy and she said "nice to meet you. Terry has told me absolutely nothing about you"? Yea, real suspect.

Nan Flanagan. I've been waiting for them to do this bitch in all season. By now, she should have known better than to threaten Sookie...or to call Bill Compton and Eric Northman puppies. When she revealed that she was fired from the Authority, and wanted to ally with them she was safe. After all, she had been given orders to kill them both and had decided against it. Then she brought up Sookie and Eric took out her guards in the blink of an eye and Bill staked that bitch mid sentence. Rest in a pile of gloop Nan, I sure wont miss you.

Russell is missing from his concrete grave. Alcide made the discovery at about the same moment that Pam was bawling about Eric forsaking her. But who dug Russell out? And is it possible for his fangs to grow back?

Then we get to the part of the episode that had me literally sitting up in my bed with my mouth hanging open. Debbie storms into Sookie's kitchen, shot gun in hand every intention to blow Sookie sky high. She was probably high on V and as is the case with all addicts, she blames someone else for things that have gone wrong in her life. Leveling the gun, she tell Sookie that she should have done this a long time ago. All this time, I'm waiting for Sookie to shoot light rays from her hand and knock Debbie the fuck out...and it seems like she's just about to do it...when in walks Tara.

Tara launches herself in front of Sookie at the same moment Debbie pulls the trigger. There's an explosion and Tara's goes limp. Fueled with built up rage as well as being sick and tired of loved ones dying on her kitchen floor, Sookie flings herself on Debbie and grabs hold of the gun. She places it right under the bitch's chin and Debbie has the motherloving audacity to ask that her life be spared. I felt a wave of deep, dark satisfaction when Sookie blew her head off...I was happy to see the bitch dead.

But lying on the kitchen floor was Tara, and we don't know if she's gone but I for one sincerely hope not.

What did you think of the finale?

All I know, True Blood is definitely getting picked up for a fifth season. The waiting is on
