Here we are at the end of an interesting run of a series
that successfully resurrected itself from near death. Before my season 6
marathon I was dreading the final season until this one restored my faith in
Bon Temps. Anyway enough of this wanton
praise let us discuss what actually happens in “Radioactive”.
To me the most controversial but necessary step was to turn
Warlow back into a bad guy I think it was simple and weak choice it could have
been done a little better but it was a fairly packed finale. Now for some
reason Warlow being alive was providing the daylight resistance to all the
vampires who fed from Bill with his death they revert to your normal run of the
mill vampires. Let’s face it there was no way they were going to let the
daylight thing run over to the new season.
Violet is a weird possessive girl but I like the dynamic
between her and Jason, I wonder if he thinks he can change her because as we
see she has a hell of a temper.
And then we have the time jump which was interesting in
itself, 9 months is a good space of time and allowed for the interesting
changes around Bon Temps such as Sam as Mayor, Violet moving in with Jason and
finally Alcide and Sookie getting back together.
It seems the Hep V takes a lot longer to kill vampires when
it is out in the wild so they have become quite a problem in Louisiana. The
mayor and Bill who has become a bit of a celebrity after breaking the Hep V/Tru
Blood story have come up with a plan for a vampire to protect a human on a one
to one basis.
To that end the hold a mixture at what is now Arlene’s bar,
things seem to be going well until dun dun dun, Bill and Alcide smell trouble
and we see the zombie vampires attacking the party in force. This season has
been a revelation and for me at least the season MVP has to be Sheriff
Bellefleur, Chris Bauer definitely brought it home and helped make True Blood
something other than a mess of sexy times and nonsensical plotting. I just hope
things stay at this level next season.
