Serieus, de schrijvers van True Blood waren goed high toen ze dit seizoen schreven en vooral de laatste aflevering. 
Het niveau is echt lachwekkend geworden.
Poef 5500 jarige - krachtigste - fae-vampire is dood in 3 seconden. AWESOMENESS ALOM.
Nu gaan we er maar 'zombievampieren' bijlappen.
Ze waren allang verkeerd toen ze verschillende verhaallijnen maakten die totaal niets meer met elkaar te zien hadden. Blijkbaar hebben ze dit ingezien en proberen ze met dit seizoen alles weer een nieuwe start te geven. Met nutteloze afleveringen (dood-begrafenis Terry) & etc eraan toe.

Die manier waarop ze het ineens afhandelen ook, 6 maanden later, Sookie samen met Alcide, Sam uit het niks burgemeester... Alrighty then. En dan die 'cliffhanger' of Eric al dan niet dood zou zijn, zwak hoor. Als ze die uit de serie zouden schrijven, kunnen ze ineens de boeken toe doen imo. Kan ook zijn dat hij geen zin meer heeft om zijn rol verder te spelen natuurlijk, wie zou het hem kwalijk nemen 
.
Ze beginnen er blijkbaar ook een gewoonte van te maken om de slechteriken vlug vlug af te maken (Russel Edgington, anyone :ironic
. Altijd leuk, zo'n anti-climax van formaat.

Degene die wat achtergrond informatie willen over afgelopen seizoen en zaken over seizoen 7..
Over Eric:

Over Lettie Mae & Hep V:
Over alles dat terug naar 1 main verhaallijn gaat:
Over Hep-V:
Bill & Sookie:
Welke nieuwe personen terugkomen in S7:
Over Eric:
First things first - regarding Eric Northman's apparent demise in the Swedish sun:
The actor Alex Skarsgard and the character of Eric Northman will be back on the show next year. He'll be a series regular, but I [am] not confirm[ing] that he’s alive. Not that I want to create more conversation, because I don’t, but to be clear, we’re not saying how we’re going to use him [in Season 7]; we’re simply saying that we are using him. I will say that I do long for the days when television audiences could stand to wait and enjoy the tease. But I understand we’re living in a different time. I don’t want to watch a show without him either.

Over Warlow's bloed:
We’ve seen fairy blood wear off before... but would Warlow’s blood never have worn off?
Warlow’s blood was special in that once you had it, it was not gonna wear off. It was the real deal. That’s why Sookie’s blood and Adilyn’s blood didn’t do what Warlow’s blood could do. Bill, at a certain point in the season, realized Warlow is the prophecy; that’s why Lilith all along said that you alone are going to be responsible for the continuation of the species. But when Warlow died, out went everybody’s ability to walk in the sun.

Over Lettie Mae & Hep V:
Tara and Lettie Mae appear to have reconciled with Tara now serving as her mother's "guardian" in this new world. Is there a chance she is actually a Hep V carrier with a plan to infect her daughter?
Let me just say this, and I realize that there has been an abrupt change in the kinds of storytelling that we do, but going into a seventh season of a show, if our characters can’t grow and change, then we have a problem. So we need to be able to allow ourselves to believe that Bill can see the error of his ways and want to change, and then the question becomes about forgiveness... what mother wouldn’t feel badly about that? The idea that there must be plot behind everything that we do — I don’t want to have the audience constantly demanding that everything be plot-driven. It was genuine on Lettie Mae’s part. It’s not to say that there won’t be complications that arise, but people can be telling the truth.

Over alles dat terug naar 1 main verhaallijn gaat:
What was the impetus for resetting everything and jumping ahead six months? Will the new season pick up immediately?
That's a fair presumption. [The] reset [establishes] that for every vampire, a human' for every human, a vampire. It's to try to return to the show's promise in Season 1, which is if vampires exist, let's examine the relationships between humans and vampires. Now we get to do it with many different pairings rather than just Bill and Sookie... by putting all of our characters essentially into one story, now it's Bon Temps vs. the world. The characters people love will get more screen time because these stories don't have separate demands. We just get to tell a simpler story and then experience them through our characters.
The driving force of the show is going to be the relationships. What does Alcide (Joe Manganiello) or Sookie having to take on a vampire feeding partner do to their relationship? Every relationship is complicated because it's a three-way or four-way. That's what we're looking at. I don't think it's all going to be hunky-dory. It's going to create tensions between makers and makees because, "You love that human, don't you?!" It's a bit of a shift back from plot-driven big bad to some of the soapy elements of the show. It's the relationships that are interesting, not the plot that the bad guy is necessarily providing.

Over Hep-V:
Why haven't the Hep V-infected vampire hordes died like Nora did? Has the virus mutated?
Correct. And that’s part of the reason for the time passage as well... They’re weaker and driven by a need to eat in a way that the vampires that we’ve come to know are not. They have to drink human blood in larger quantities and more frequently than before. And the other thing to clarify — honestly, it feels weird to have to clarify everything, which is essentially what next season’s job is [Laughs] — but they’re not going to be zombies. They’re far more organized and haven’t lost their mental capacity.

Bill & Sookie:
What about Bill? Will he seek redemption in order to get Sookie back?
Bill has truthfully seen the error of his ways. When Lilith left him, he lost his powers, and all of his feelings for Sookie came rushing back. The real question is, yes, this season is about redemption for Bill, but can he be forgiven? We're establishing a new triangle — with Eric clearly unresolved, but not part of the picture in Bon Temps in the short term — the Sookie, Alcide, Bill triangle is going to be in play.

Welke nieuwe personen terugkomen in S7:
Lastly, which of the many new characters we met in Season 6 will be returning as regulars in Season 7?
[Violet (Karolina Wydra)] is joining as a regular next year, as is James (Luke Grimes). One of the things that we realized pretty early on is that as much as people complain sometimes that there are no humans left on "True Blood," if you do the math, there aren't very many vampires left, so we needed to populate it more. The two of them are just stunning. It was a strange casting call in the middle of the season knowing that we were going to be casting for series regulars for the following season, but I think we hit the jackpot both times. Willa (Amelia Rose Blaire) will [also] return next season.
Could we see Niall (Rutger Hauer) again?
I can’t say either way. I mean, he’s alive, he can return. As is Sarah Newlin [Anna Camp]. But we have to go through that creative process still.

Niet vergeten dat het er nu naar uitziet dat er nog een fae-weerwolf zal aankomen. Het begint er allemaal een beetje over te gaan, S1-5 vond ik nog wel tof, maar vond dit seizoen toch wat te veel van het goede.

Inderdaad, als je ziet dat True Blood na seizoen 1 het meest succesvolle HBO-product was op dat moment, en je ziet hoe het nu is, who can blame him!
En indeed, het snel afmaken van de slechteriken is toch wel bizar.
Jammer ook hoe ze die slechteriken dan soms nog portretteren!
Van Warlow's "Sookie Stackhouse, I'm coming from you" tot die pussyhybrid, wtf!

Ik ben ook absoluut niet rouwig om het nieuws dat volgend seizoen het laatste wordt! Afgelopen seizoen was zo'n vreemd seizoen, met zeer weinig diepgang.
True Blood heeft gewoon veel te veel personages die ze allen evenveel in de spotlight willen zetten. Het is een allegaartje geworden van allerlei fantasie-verhaallijnen die vaak niets bijdragen tot het grotere geheel.
Jammer om zo'n topserie te zien wegkwijnen..
