TV commentary:
True Blood- Woah, that was an insane season finale. Very bloody! Not often do you get to see someone get gibbed on a tv show. So, we continue from the beginning of last week, where Russell is going after the rest of the faeries. They try to blast him away, but he's shrugging them off. But, it distracts him enough for Eric to anticlimactically show up and stake and kill him. Steve runs off, never to be seen again. Well, actual Steve, that is.
Because Sam escapes from his sitch by turning into a fly and flying away. Bill has his soldiers scour the Authority HQ, but to no avail. Sam is able to case the place and comes up with a plan. He has Luna shift into Steve, who tries to leave with Emma, but the Authority is on lockdown. Lucky for her, Cougar Town lady shows up, saying he needs to issue a statement over the tape of him and Russell killing those frat boys leaking (as that one general threatened it would if something happened to him). But Luna shifts back into herself on live National TV and reveals the vampire's plans. Cougar Town lady attacks her, but Bill flies into her mouth as a fly then shifts back into human form, blowing her up from inside. Then Luna appears to get really sick- people keep saying shifting into people is lethal because of what happened to Tommy, but didn't he die of getting an ass kicking from a bunch of wolves?!
Anyways, speaking of wolves, Martha shows up with a strung up Rikki to Alcide's dad's place, telling him he needs to do something. In any case, JD was a bad guy already, did they have to make him all rape-y on top of that. Its like, I think Alcide and the audience already had enough reason to hate him, but then they have Rikki be all, they force fed me V, but that's all they did to me, the younger girls weren't so lucky. Its like, I think they could have Alcide go after him without making JD encouraging stach gang-rape. Alcide doesn't think he can beat JD because of the V advantage, but T1000 is all, JD's on crap blood (wait, wasn't he getting his blood from Russell?), Alcide's dad he say he has good blood to even the odds. So Alcide storms the wolf camp, and beats JD to death, becoming the new packmaster.
In less violent plots, Andy comes clean to Holly when Maurella shows up at Merlotte's. Holly ends up having to deliver the babies, of which there are 4. Maurella leaves them with Andy, saying he has to make sure at least half of them survive to adulthood. So I guess Andy's going to be in stuck with a bunch of half-fae babies next season?
Finally, onto the main plot, Eric finds out from Tara what happened to Pam and Jessica, and he tries to get Sookie's help to snap Bill out of his delusions. Jason doesn't want her to do anything with vamp stuff anymore, either because he's seeing his parents' ghosts or hallucinations of them. But given she won't be dissuaded, the Stackhouses, Eric, Nora, and Tara infiltrate the Authority. Jason gets to be bad-ass, killing several vamps on his own, which, I know he did good in the vamp killing training way back in season 2, but shouldn't the guards at the authority be pretty elite? Jason should have gotten his ass killed. In any case, they rescue the girls, and Pam and Tara make out. Jason and Jessica do not though, as he says he could never love a vampire (possibly due to his ghost parents' influence) Eric and Sookie send them top side while they go talk some sense into Bill?
What's Bill doing? First off, he had cleared them to come in, even knowing they had to have something up there sleeve, but that was because he wasn't sure he could take out Salome by himself. But he does. He tricks Salome into drinking some fake Lilith blood dosed with silver, and stakes her in her weakened state. When Eric and Sookie finally show up, they try to talk some sense into him, Sookie saying he's a good man. But Bill's all, he doesn't know her at all. He drinks the vial, and it seems to kill him. Only, when Sookie is crying on Eric's shoulder, Bill rises from the bloody pool he left behind, and the season ends with Eric telling Sookie to run as he goes to take on "Bilith".
