So last night was the “True Blood” season finale. Um, yeah, I don’t know. I guess I expected a lot more, but it was kinda slow . . .

The show opened with Eric and the Queen talking. She warned him not to drink from Sookie, she was something else, not human, and she didn’t need another vampire infatuated with her. She was also not pleased that Bill knew Eric was selling V. She warned him that nobody was to know she ordered him to sell it, or that it was her blood!

Most of the first half hour was dedicated to killing Maryanne. Maryanne was getting ready for her wedding to the horned god. They built this idol and put the egg in it, which was an ostrich egg and symbol of fertility. It was through the egg they thought the god would be reborn (or something).

Jason and Andy showed up to rescue Sookie, only to be taken by Maryanne’s spell. Sookie was forced to be a bride’s maid at the “wedding.” Maryanne wanted Sookie to blast her again like she did before, but Sookie didn’t know how. Maryanne informed her because she couldn’t fall under her spell, it meant she was supernatural.

Bill showed up with Sam, offering Sam as her sacrifice if she’d let Sookie go. She did, but Sookie was furious with Bill. Bill said they had a plan. Eggs stabbed Sam in the chest, and Bill told Sookie to use her power now. Sam mentally told Sookie to destroy the idol. She blasted it with her powers and Sam managed to escape with Bill. Bill let Sam feed off his blood to heal, then Sam morphed into a big white ox and showed up. Maryanne thought her God had returned and offered herself to him. Sam rammed her in the chest with a horn, morphed back to a man and ripped her heart out. She then withered and died.

The next day (and 2nd half hour), the town was getting back to normal. However nobody remembered what had happened. Several people thought Maryanne was an alien who erased their memories, others said they heard LSD was put in their water as a big experiment.

Andy was given his job back when the sheriff realized Andy hadn’t been lying.

Hoyt’s mother turned back to normal with the rest of the town. Hoyt told her the crazy things she said about his dad, that he had killed himself. She told him it was true, which upset Hoyt. His mama had been lying to him all these years, guilting him to stay with her. She claimed she just didn’t want to lose him too. He wished he had let Jessica kill her! He then stormed off. Hoyt went to see Jessica that night to apologize, but she was not home. She was off seducing a trucker and then drinking his blood!

Sam decided to take off for a few days, asking Sookie to manage things. He went to see his adopted parents, the Merlottes. His mother apologized for what they had done. She said they were broke, they had no money, then they saw what they saw that night. He says so you left me? You abandoned me? Sam didn’t want an apology, he wanted to know who his real parents were. The mom said she couldn’t tell him, that she promised not to ever say who they were, that they were bad people. His father, who was attached to a ventilator and clearly dying, wrote the name on a piece of paper and gave it to Sam, along with saying he was sorry too.

Meanwhile Eggs wanted to know what he had done. When he came out of the trance he had blood on his hands. He begged Sookie to help him, he knew she could. She helped him remember. He was mortified. Even though everyone told him he was under Maryanne’s spell. He took the sacrificial dagger to Andy and begged him to arrest him. Jason showed up and it looked like Eggs was about to harm Andy to force him to arrest him. Jason had a gun, shot and killed Eggs! Andy took the gun, wiped the prints and told Jason to leave now. The rest of the town heard the shot and Andy said the killer confessed and tried to attack him. Tara ran to Eggs in tears . . .

Finally Bill took Sookie to a fancy French restaurant where he proposed marriage to her. She was in tears, but found herself unable to say yes for some reason. She began going off about how she didn’t know what she was, or if she was even human herself. She said she needed a moment and ran to the bathroom. She calmed down, put the ring on her finger and went out to tell Bill yes. However while in the bathroom someone wrapped a silver chain around Bill’s neck and kidnapped him!

My Thoughts
So we were left with two major questions, and a lot of little ones. First what the heck is Sookie? Okay I cheated and looked it up online 🙂 But we also found that with Jason being taken by Maryanne, he wasn’t supernatural. Is Sookie adopted then? Or maybe she and Jason are half-siblings and don’t know this?

The second question is who has taken Bill? It definitely seems that it’s either Eric or the Queen. At least that’s what the show seems to want us to think.

Some little questions . . .

Since Sam drank from Bill, is he gunna have sex dreams about him 🙂 Lafayette did about Eric! Maybe it only works if you are attracted to the sex of the vamp you drink from 😉

Sam’s parents are “bad people” according to his adopted mother. Hmmm, interested in who they are and why they are bad.

Why is the Queen selling her blood? That one I just can’t figure out at all.

Finally it’s clear Jason is going to be wracked with guilt over shooting Eggs next season. How will he cope? Hopefully he won’t go back to V or the church again. Been there and done those stories! Maybe he’ll hook up with Tara (she loved him in the beginning of season 1) and the guilt will really eat at him.
