True Blood Season 5 |OT| - Everything Is At Stake

That was probably one of the top 5 all time best episodes. Goddamn the vampire stuff is just so much better than anything else.
 
Oooh oh! This show is just fucking amazing. I love how it's become the water cooler show for us on Facebook. I swear we've recruited 10+ new viewers just from our FB discussions this season.


Go crazy Tara!
 
Really enjoyed the episode! I'm liking how season 5 is turning. The whole Authority stuff is really interesting, and I really like Salome, the character. I think there's more to her than meets the eye!

Loving also the Nora-Eric-Bill situation, they're in it together and they are always better when they work together than when they fight. Now that the Authority knows about Russel (and him regaining his powers), I wonder how they will succeed in catching him. Last time it took tricks and sacrifices, so surely Russel won't be so trusting this time.

I feel bad for Tara. ): I didn't want her to die either, but I think this will just make it unbearable for her. Hopefully she manages to turn this into her strength, and maybe reconcile with her friends. Also, I hope Lafayette gets over his guilt, both from Jesús and Tara.

Wonder how the Debbie-Alcide-Sook will be resolved!

Pam scenes were great, as always!

Btw, do you guys think Lilith is still alive? At first I thought she would be revealed in this episode, when the council did that ceremony, but I guess I missunderstood.

How old would she be?

Older than 3000 year old Russel then but how much?
 
The closest we'll ever get to a vampire God is Godric. We're not gonna see Lilith.

I'm very happy that the A Plot in this show is no longer the A Plot.

Well, if she's supposed to be God's creation, she'd likely be around the oldest human remains that are known to humankind, at least. But lke Wuvcraft said, I doubt she's around! I would assume that someone that much older than Godric would turn to dust with just the faintest ray of sunlight, anyway.

I still don't understand why everyone hates Tara and I hope she gets past this rabies thing soon.

Me neither. I get it that sometimes the writers are mean to her and she goes into her "I'm sad" mode, but c'mon, it's not like she's had it easy.

I really though she would enter the room. For some reason they seemed to focus a lot on the door during the drinking blood ceremony...
 
Man, I'm back in love with True Blood. I love this season and the plot points - mainly the Authority and Russell's return. Vampire politics were always my favourite aspects and to see it in a big way is fantastic.

I'm more excited for this season than any other (season 3 was epic though), as I'm optimistic about where it will take us.

I also wonder if Lilith will ever actually be a character in the show or just someone that will forever remain a worshipped being. Having her appear as the big bad and a recurring character for a while (someone who is of her supposed stature would probably warrant more than a season I guess) might be an avenue. Hell, I could see Russell's death coming at the hands of her if such an avenue was taken.

Aside from what possibilities there are, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Eric's 'sister' is fucking stunning as well.
 
Caught up.

Last week's episode was pretty bland, but I'm grateful because it gave us the best thing ever.

Another really solid episode. So far S5 is 2/2.

It's pretty glaring how many more notches the Authority stuff is over the other plotlines. I really hope they deliver on that stuff this season in spades. Vampire Oenomaus is awesome!

Also, I really really want to see Lilith next season.

Don't click, this is a spoiler related to a statement made by the previous poster.
How about this season instead?

Enjoy these pictures of Joe M. and Kylie M. instead.

My only hope is they keep the campiness of the show. I like the vampire stuff, but the atmosphere seems drastically different. I know that on a technical level it's 'better' but I feel like I'm watching a different show, and I don't quite know how I feel about it.
 
Agree with general consensus of the thread.

Fingers crossed that they don't introduce a new type of creature this season..

I'm already AMAZED they didn't turn Tara into a zombie, specially after all the necromancing during the previous season.

Those didn't count. Actually they'd be Bacchanalians. Alan Ball has said no zombies. Who knows what will happen when he leaves though.

Bacchanawhosits are essentially zombies though. Not flesh eating Walking Dead types but close enough. I don't think they'd feel the need to do that sort of thing again.

I don't agree at all. Zombies are mindless undead creatures that exist only to consume flesh. The people as depicted in season two weren't like that at all.

I meant that there are different kinds of zombies. For instance, wikipedia says "The term is often figuratively applied to describe a hypnotized person bereft of consciousness and self-awareness, yet ambulant and able to respond to surrounding stimuli." That's what I meant. I know that that's not the popular description of what a zombie is, thanks to Romero, but that's what came to mind.

But they were self aware. I don't agree that the said description matches that either. They were in such a frenzy that the stimuli inherent in suffering and pain were just at a higher threshold.
 
New episode tonight:
Whatever I Am, You Made Me

Bill and Eric must barter with the head of the Vampire Authority for their lives; Sookie asks for Pam's help; Andy gets a visit from Gordon and Barbara Pelt; Jason reunites with his former high school teacher.

Just caught up to season 5, episode 2.

Finally good to see the Vampire Authority being officially introduced.

Loving Roman already. Its a shame Nan got staked, she was one of my favourites.

Im very curious to learn about the 2 chancellor members: Alexander and Kibwe.

I have a feeling Dieter is/was a former high ranking SS/gestapo back in the days of World War 2.
 
That was really good. Didn't put two and two together with Salome, seems obvious now.

Except for She-Who-Mopes-Beyond-The-Swamps everything is moving along nicely.
