What a season! Kudos to the True Blood crew for giving us the best season we’ve ever had and we cannot wait to see the 6th season. We were not totally surprised by those that passed away, but we will most definitely miss Russell Edington. His crazy made us go crazy. With that stated, here is the complete list of characters that passed away during the season finale.
R.I.P.
Russell Edgington
J.D.
Chelsea the Receptionist
Salome
Rosalyn
Now, let’s get on with the recap!
Besides all the death and mayhem, I just want to first jump for utter joy because Eric was awesome tonight!
Between offing Russell:
Bickering with Jason:
Annoying Jason:
Protecting his progeny:
Sharing a moment with Pam:
Protecting Sookie:
Bothering his sister:
And attempting to save Bill from himself:
Eric had a banner night!
Other highlights of note:
Well, Maurella finally popped after ingesting a container of table salt and Andy did not only become a daddy to one bouncing baby girl, but 4:
Unfortunately for Andy and the somewhat understanding Holly, Maurella up and left and left the rearing of the babies to Andy as part of their pact. Nice parenting Maurella. God help you Andy. Btw, I wish child birth was that enjoyable, I would have had 50 kids if it was that orgasmic?
Sam and Luna continued to try to save Emma and they came up with the brilliant plan that consisted of Luna shifting into Steve so she could smuggle Emma out of the Authority compound. It was going to work, but then Roslyn showed up and dragged whom she believed was Steve to do an interview for damage control. As expected, Luna turned back to her normal self and before Roslyn could get her mitts on her… Sam buzzed his fly self into Rosalyn’s mouth… if that’s not love than I don’t know what is.
The question for season 6 is… will Luna survive? Remember, every time a Shifter changes into a another human the weaker they become mentally and physically.
The pack storyline was not my favorite, but it was completed (or so we think). So, we saw Alcide, his Dad and Emma’s grandmother go into the pack to get it back and set it on the straight and narrow. We watched Alcide pummel J.D. to death. Unfortunately, he had to ingest vampire blood to do so. The question is, is this the end of Alcide’s troubles or will we see him suffer the repercussions for what he did tonight in Season 6?
So the mystery of Warlo continues:
Big question for Season 6 is how does Nora know Warlo?
So, let’s go into the storyline that we saw coming and damn it… they are the best True Blood couple, hands down!
Jessica: Sookie could you get these doors?
Sookie: Oh right cuz ya’ll are vampires and these are silver doors duh
Sookie: *opens Jess’s door*
Sookie: *goes to open Pam’s door*
Tara: *fucking opens it anway*
Sookie:….Oh okay
Jessica: I knew it
Where the official shipping of Para or Tam (Pam+Tara) was born tonight, Jessica totally lost Jason. Jason is in full on delusional mode. He is now being haunted by the hallucinations of his parents and they are feeding him this ire that is coming from that deep seeded issue he has had with vampires since he found out that his parents were killed by Warlo. This has resulted in Jason hating all of vampdom and that includes Jessica.
Will Jessica reach the old Jason is Season 6 and save him from all this crazy-talk or will we see Jason end up killing Jessica? The torture…
Towards the end of the episode the group split, Eric and Sookie stayed behind to save Bill and the rest were escaping which is when we got a bonus scene (from HBO) and that was what was going on in the lift:
While everyone else is taking down the compound, Eric and Sookie go looking for Bill. They tried to make Bill understand that he was under the influence, but he was not going to give in and for a brief moment we thought we lost one of the key players in the True Blood universe.
We should know better now, because Alan Ball and the writers of HBO would not let that happen and we were given the biggest shock of the tv year!
We’ve heard on the grapevine that Scott Foley’s character is much darker than what he has protrayed in the past. If you recall from the end of the 4th season, Patrick Devans shows up on Terry’s doorstep and it was a very ominous feel to the scene.
We are more than sure that Devans drags Terry into a whole heap of trouble and what will end up being a casualty is Terry and Arlene’s marriage.
AOL TV recently sat down with Carrie Preston. During the interview she spoke about her roles on The Good Wife and Law and Order: SVU, as well as her role on True Blood.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
Going to ‘True Blood’ real quick: I know you guys have read the new script. What can you tell me?
I can’t tell you anything. [Laughs]
I know there are a lot of werewolves coming to town.
Wow, OK. There are a lot of new characters, as is always the case with ‘True Blood.’ You will get some quick answers right off the bat. The show is not going to leave you wondering about some of the cliffhangers.
Have we seen the last of the demon baby in terms of possession?
I have no idea. [Laughs]
That was a very creepy storyline at some points.
It was, it was. I didn’t even know where it was going.
You must get this a lot, but I’m going to ask again: Will Michael ever do ‘True Blood’?
It’s so funny. Everyone asks as if actors ever have anything to do with that. [Laughs] I mean, we just don’t have anything to do with casting. I’m sure he would love to come on the show, but I’m sure there’s also something to be said for us having our separate careers and supporting each other on each other’s shows. I think it’s a win-win situation.

Carrie Preston was recently interviewed by TV Fanatic and here’s what she told them about the strange lady on her lawn …
“That’s not the last that we’ll see of her. And it will affect other storylines, as well. From there, the show goes to an interesting place it hasn’t gone to before.”
She also told them she knew where things were headed all along.
“The writers don’t keep us in the dark.”
Despite knowing where her storyline was headed, she still enjoyed it. She likes the way the audience is kept guessing.
“They aren’t sure if it’s Arlene being her histrionic self, or if there’s something really wrong with the child.”
Here’s an excerpt from an interview with Carrie Preston:
Does Arlene see the baby as just human evil, because of Rene, or is she afraid there’s something more supernatural going on, given all her experience?
Carrie Preston: Well given the way she looks at the world, she comes from a place where she believed in the sins of the father will be visited upon the child. It’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility in her mind that he is a sick individual who will do something horrible in the world, and she will feel responsible for that, for having brought that into the world. I think that’s really her main dilemma.
She dealt with a bit of witchcraft herself in trying to abort the baby last season. But now that the witches are sort of center stage for season four, will she find more involvement in that plot line as the season goes on?
Carrie Preston: You know, I think the witch thing really scared the pants off of her. I think Arlene is somebody who’s firmly planted in the human world, and is pretty, and we’ve seen this with the vampires, she’s pretty scared of anything that’s unknown to her. Though I think then you can make whatever conclusions you want from that. However, there will be something she’s going to come in contact with that we haven’t even seen yet on the show. So, that’s an exciting thing that happens in season four for Arlene.
What’s been one of your favorite things about shooting season four?
Carrie Preston: Seeing how the problem that Arlene was dealing with in season three, how it has continued to grow. Like I said, there is something new that is being introduced, that none of us really expected, so that’s been really fun to see how are we going to make this work? So that’s been really exciting.
How do you see your Arlene as different from the Arlene of the books?
Carrie Preston: She’s much more complicated. I think that can be said for all of the characters. The books are great and really fun and stuff, but I think what Alan and the writers have done with the storyline has just given…made them much more three dimensional. And certainly Arlene—she’s given a lot more emotional things to deal with as the series has gone on, which has been exciting for me as an actor, because at first it just seemed like she was going to be responsible for serving up the comedy of the show, but they started really giving her serious issues to deal with, and that’s always satisfying as an actor to have the opportunity to play that kind of stuff.
Have there been any rumblings on True Blood’s fifth season yet?
Carrie Preston: Yes, we all sort of talk about it and certainly the way the season ends, they better do another one. There would be some disappointed fans if they don’t.
A cliffhanger?
Carrie Preston: Yep!
