True Blood Final Season Premiere Recap: Everybody Hates Sookie

True Blood, Episode 1: "Jesus Gonna Be Here"


Oh True Blood.  We're coming to the end of our journey.  For a long time, this show did a great job of riding that line between batshit crazy and compulsively watchable.  Around season 5, with the introduction of The Authority (How terrible was that?  Seriously, you have Christopher Meloni, he of one of the greatest asses on any man on the planet and no nudity at all?!  I'm obviously still not over that), and then the whole Billith thing, it was not a huge surprise to learn that this would be the final season.  Let's take a look at the season premiere and speculate on whether the show will finish strong or limp to the finish.
