So . . . long story short of how I came to be a fan of the show . . . I made a deal with a friend to watch the first season of True Blood, as long as they watched the one and only season of Firefly (a MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better show, in every sense, and it became their favorite show ever, too!).

Having said that, though, David and I have become fans of True Blood, watching an episode a night on DVD until we finished the second season, just in time to catch the reruns of the third season on HBO. When the fourth season started fresh, we were all caught up.

The fourth season just finished on Sunday, and MAN! KAPOW! What a finale! This show is absolutely ridiculous, but every episode is SUCH a cliffhanger, we always want to see what craziness happens in the next episode! I'm not nearly as attached to the characters as I was (and still am) with those in Firefly, but I do have favorites.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS - I really didn't like Sookie and Bill together, but was really drawn to Sookie and Eric. Lafayette and Jesus are my other favorite pair, their chemistry is incredible. I think Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette) is the best actor on the show.

I knew that last death in the finale was coming, I just had a feeling and had even voiced that opinion to David at the beginning of the episode. But, I really didn't see it coming when Sookie shot that other character in the face like she did. WOWZERS.

And, I LOVE Jason Stackhouse. Not sure I like his new relationship, though. Although, I really like Jessica.

Super crazy about Rene popping up like that, and I hope Terry doesn't end up crappy, he is one of my favorite characters, as well.

Totally curious about the fairy encounter that Andy had! SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS


Anyway, I thought I'd dig this old thread up and see if there are any other fans out there who want to chat about it. I started the books, but didn't get very far because I had to return them to the friend who loaned them to me. I'll get them read, eventually.
