Trueblood – Truly Revolting! (Spoiler Alert!)

It is hard not to take notice of the amped up gore factor on True Blood over the last two weeks, unless maybe if you are dead on the inside. It has geared up from the occasional bleeding wound and severed head to a full on “bleed out” feast! I get it Alan Ball, you need to keep upping your game. After all it is not TV it is HBO, but seriously this is getting out of control.

Over the last 2 episodes vampires, werewolves, shifters and now fairies (yes I know), get bludgeoned on the head, drained within an inch of their lives, impaled, shot, tortured with Tiffany’s earrings, and run over by vehicles of all shapes and sizes. And yes we are only 6 episodes in, what is coming next? I am taking bets the last episode of the season will include a mass grave digging in Bon Temps just to dispose of all the bodies!

It has become so vial that I have taken to eating Sunday dinner early just so I don't barf while I am shoveling down steak or worst yet some type of ground meat – I swear I can taste the blood and bones crunching and I feel no better than a vamp with an insatiable taste for human meat/blood. I do often laugh while eating meat and watching this show, I definitely feel it is the appropriate choice! Like drinking a martini while watching Sex and The City.

Also let’s discuss the ridiculousness of all these new types of mythical redneck freaks that keep walking into town. Why are so many frequenting Bon Temps? Is there a bottomless well of free Budweiser? Or a sale on tractor trailers? At least in Buffy they explained that the school was built on top of the portal to hell – a plausible explanation.


I am super confused I thought the show was a "realistic" look at how vampires live within our society and function as part of the “regular” human race, well most of them at least. Of course there are those old school vamps who want to prey on the human race and take over the universe – high hopes for a zombie with an attitude!

Now we are learning there are many more types of crazy mythical creatures that live amongst us. I guess it is mildly acceptable in a world where vampires exist, but lately I feel like I am watching a pornographic version of World of Warcraft. Where will the line be drawn? It is more common for folks in Bon Temps or any of its adjacent parishes to have a crazy “dark” secret than to just be a normal human being.

Oh and Sookie is a fairy!! And now that Bill has drained her of her blood and “light” he is part fairy too! A Vampairy? Fairvampi?? WTF this is getting too complex and convoluted! I feel like I need to do some V so I can be high enough to believe the sh”t this show is shoveling out.

  1. I think that there comes a time in our lives when we've seen the last gory bloody movie we want to end are ready to move on... that may be where you have arrived and you might have to to enjoy... why we have a fascination with vampires, I'll never know, but I don't like it when producers and writers don't deliver what they promise and go for the sensationalism instead of strong plot writing... or, maybe eating earlier in the evening, is the answer... come visit when you can...

  2. I love True Blood but i also noticed how extra gory these last two episodes have been. I actually had nightmares last night. But, then, I am a fraidy pants.

    I say less gore more action - for real this time-between Eric and Sookie!

  5. Oh, the gore! It really hasn't gotten gross. When Tara bashed in that vamp's head- disgusting!!!

    A fairy? I didn't realize that. I was thinking some sort of Goddess.

  8. In the book series all the mythological creatures are intoduced as well but in a more believeable way. I love Trueblood and will continue to watch but in my opinion the books are way better. If you haven't read them yet you should I think you would have a much better understanding of everything... oh and much more eric and sookie!
