True Blood; Seasons 3,4,5.

True Blood Seasons 3,4,5.

So having read the entire Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris, I was fairly certain I knew what was coming..wrong.

Season 3 is all about Werewolves and we get a fantastic insight into Eric's backstory which makes everything about him seem more..awesome. Season 2 ended with Bill being kidnapped after asking Sookie to marry him, which you know, is exactly how you want a marriage proposal to go! We meet Franklin who is utterly batshit crazy and kidnaps Tara (who I was totally convinced was called Terra from their accents). I love Alcide he is amazing, and looks wonderful for the most part as he spends most of his time topless.

Season 4 starts with Sookie in Fairy Land and falls straight back into the craziness that is Bon Temp. Marnie the witch and her coven start experimenting with necromancy and Marnie channels a spirit from the 16th, Antonia; who is also batshit crazy! She and Marnia curse Eric and he loses his memories and becomes very...cute instead of the crazy slightly scary guy he is! She also curses Pam and makes her skin rot away. After holding her coven hostage and trying to call the vampires out into the sun she is finally killed. But, being a Medium she lurks in Bon Temp still takes over Lafayette and kills Jesus, his boyfriend for his magic. She is then removed from Lafyette's body and moves on. Russell escapes his prison and Rev. Steve Newlin is a vampire!

...and then we have Season 5.
Talk about crazy. "The Authority" goes religion mad! They have the blood of Lillith who they worship as their God and they decide that mainstreaming should be no more. Lillith meant for them to eat humans and so they will! Sam and his girlfriend, Luna, end up caught in all of the madness when a bunch of crazy folks from a hate group shoot them both and Luna's daughter, a werewolf, shifts and runs to her grandmother's house. Russell takes over the Shreveport pack and starts dishing out the V turning them into maniacs. Alcide takes over control of the pack after a big fight and an earlier defeat.
Eventually it ends in weirdness...Luna skin walks as Steve Newlin to try and free Emma from The Authority underground stronghold. Jason can see the ghosts of his mum and dad who seem VERY hate field. Bud the old sheriff is killed for being part of the hate group. Bill kills damn near everyone in the Authority bar Eric, Nora (his "sister") and Steve (cause he's god knows where) and drinks the vial of Lillith's blood..bleeds out and plops into nonexistance on the floor as a puddle of blood. And that isn't even the end. He comes out of the puddle of blood all..well bloody and crazy as hell!

I can't wait for Series 6! I have them all on DVD and I will so be watching them again!
