- How to Kill a Vampire (Series)
Ending a successful book franchise can be messy. Why fans are outraged by Charlaine Harris's decision to wrap up the Sookie Stackhouse series.

I love TB, but I hope they finish the whole thing by season 7's finale. Can't see them past it without having a major hit in quality.

Hyped for 6.
 
They're really playing up the death of a major character. Obv gonna be Bill or Eric. Probably Bill. Then again Eric does have a good career outside of this show so it could be him.

I kind of hope it's neither. Or if I had to choose one I'd hope Eric lives.
 
I just thought of the best thing. They should make the final 2 episodes be a two-parter. It'll be the chase to kill Bill who I'm assuming will be one of the main villains or something. Who knows though. Anyway if that is the case, call the second last one Volume 1 and the last one Volume 2.

Kill Bill homage.
 
Just finished season 5 today after marathoning it over the last few days. It really is trashy camp at times, but I can't say I mind as I had a lot of fun. Was kind of let down by the return of Russell Edgeington. He seemed kind of underused and acted like sort of a buffoon. Loved that night on the town the took after drinking Lilith's blood tho.

Also, I have a major man-crush on the Werewolf brawny dude. He's so dreamy it ain't even funny. I also thought that head council member that bill poisoned with the silver blood at the end was utterly gorgeous. Even when the show felt bad at times there is so much eye-candy that I can't say it wasn't worth it.

Eagerly awaiting season 6...which is apparently right around the corner. I am guessing it is the end of the series.

It could be, but nothing is set in stone. The show is still very popular and it still makes a ton of money for HBO, so I wouldn't be surprised if we got one or two more seasons. I know that some of the recurring characters they're introducing this season have the options of becoming regulars in season 7, so that tells me that HBO is seriously considering at least one more season.

Would this be the first scripted HBO show to go past six seasons if that happens?
 
Who's going to make the new thread for S6? We're less than two weeks away.

I think 3N16MA is doing it.

Yep!

Dude's got the body of a Greek god. He must be swimming in a sea of chicks.

Or a sea of men. :}

Oh, and Paquin looks absolutely amazing here!!

Dat pregnant radiance.
 
My girlfriend watched only seasons one and two so she and I are marathon-ing 3, 4, and 5. I already saw them all, and they're still awesome.

Season 4, Episode 11, still has the best kill in the entire series.

Eric is such a badass. A fucking Viking.

Alexander Skarsgard should really be a bigger star on the big screen. I'd love it if he became some type of badass side character in Thor 3 or something. Just too good.

He was up for the role of Thor himself at one point, I believe.

He's been in Zoolander and Battleship (off the top of my head film-wise) but I'm sure we'll see him more in the future. I'm a fan of his and Eric's my favourite character in the show.

True Blood/Stackhouse fans are fucking nuts.

No offense to those in the thread.

Going to Comic-Con and hearing them boo Alan Ball was the most batshit insane experience I've witnessed.
 
Er, I think she was pregnant during season 6. Wasn't that image I quoted from season 6?
According to Alan Ball, it's a 10-episode season because of economics and production was moved back to January to accomodate Paquin's maternity leave after giving birth in November.

But no, Paquin wasn't preggers again during season 6 production.

Why did they boo him? Was it because he was stepping down as showrunner?

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
