So, am I the only person out there that thinks that True
Blood Season 5 is much improved over last year’s disappointing season? I
remember liking a lot of the individual episodes in Season 4, but taken as a
whole, the season was a major disappointment.
And on the surface, Season 5 seems to have some of the same problems.
- Too many characters I don’t care about.
- Too many plot lines to keep track of taking up air time.
- Too many characters doing stupid things in service to the plot.
- Sookie
- Tara
Yet, none of these things have bothered me so much this
year. Even though so far Season 5 has spent way too much of its time with THE
AUTHORITY, and vampire politics that have always bogged the show down. I’m not
sure why this is, honestly…has my tolerance for the show simply gone up since
last summer? Or is it that I find the character interactions much more
interesting this year.
Whatever the reason, I’m finding that I’m much more
interested in what’s happening on screen this year. I like the interactions
between the characters more even if the plot is moving at a pretty glacial pace
and Russell (presumably the main villain of the season) hasn’t even been fully
seen yet. I just have the vague
impression that the whole thing is leading to some form of Vampire/Faery
showdown, though at this point the season could veer off in virtually any
direction at this point.
I just hope that the show does a better job including all of
the main characters in the story as a whole, like it did in Season 1 and Season
2.
