Ep. 36: Evil Is Going On - Recap

'True Blood' weekends: That's all, folks! LA Times

Honestly, I expected the "True Blood" finale to be a lot more controversial around these parts. Usually when I dislike (or even like) an episode, a healthy number of you disagree. But outside of a few people who thought the finale was good fun, it sure seemed like everybody who commented or got in touch with me could agree on one broad point about the finale: It was pretty bad. If it wasn't pulling lots of lame cliffhangers on us and muddying up the storyline, it was just plain boring. For once, we're all (mostly) on the same page, and that just makes me feel great about humanity. 
Unfortunately, since we were all on the same page, there's less to write about this week. (Which gives me more time to finish up this piece on the awesome "Boardwalk Empire" pilot.) But let's see some of your comments anyway.
Tess liked this season. She's still looking forward to next season. But the finale? That disappointed her:

"This whole season I thought was fabulous, and it did feel like it was building towards something, but then we got here and nothing happened. I did feel like I was enjoying it while I was watching it, but once I got to the end it was like, I have no idea what just filled those 55 minutes. Every time something built up -- Eric in the ground with an assassin sent for Pam, for instance, or Alcide showing up -- it was over 5 minutes later (not that I wasn't glad to see Eric alive. Or Alcide still looking good. Or Godric, for that matter)."

BLOODlust Finale Episode! True Blood S:3 Ep:12 Recap

Recap: True Blood, season 3, episode 12 – ‘Evil Is Going On’

The wonderful Becca shares her take on S3Ep 12


Last week on True Blood … Eric: [to Russell] Be brave. We’ll die together.
And we’re back. Did you have fun over the Labour Day weekend? I went to a fair and won a rooster crow counting contest and then ate a funnel cake the size of my head.
Here we go! The Where, Why, Wuh? of the third season of True Blood, along with our hopes, predictions and wildest dreams for season 4. (Yes, that Alcide will finally get lucky.)
• Eric has always been a badass, but this time, it’s personal. As he fries in the sunlight outside Merlotte’s, handcuffed to Russell, he learns that Russell killed Eric’s entire family because he needed goats for his werewolves. In today’s currency, that’s, like, well, a whole lot more goats. To recap: Eric has been exacting revenge for 1,000 years over goats. So that viking crown was just a memento? I’m the same. After I’ve stolen my goats … GODRIC! Finally, the little dude shows up to tell Eric that all is love and forgiveness on the other side, even for goat thieves. Who knows if that’s the last we’ll see of Godric, but he looked pretty pouty when Eric told him that Godric had made him the way he was. From the start? Or from the point that he betrayed Eric by giving himself to the sun?

OK-- how about Lettie Mae's angel and Maxine Fortenberry's polished stones...

True Blood's Sookie Reads Star!

In last night's action-packed season finale of True Blood

, Star had a cameo!

With all the vampires sleeping during the day on the HBO series, Anna Paquin's Sookie Stockhouse faced off against Denis O'Hare's Russell — the 3000-year-old vampire king of Mississippi

. While he tried to talk her into setting him free, by offering her everything from money to murder, she sat back in a chair and flipped through her Star magazine!
Well Star loves True Blood too — we've done several stories on the popular cast members, including — most recently — Anna's wedding to her costar Stephen Moyer, who plays vampire Bill Compton.

'True Blood' season finale: The story behind the episode's titular song 'Evil (Is Going On)'

Another spectacularly bloody, true-death-gooey season of fangs, flesh, and fairies came to an end last night, and—no spoiler alerts!—EW spoke with the show’s music supervisor, Gary Calamar, to get the backstory behind their rerecording of the classic blues song for which the finale episode was named.Calamar, who also handles all the music for Dexter, House, and Men of a Certain Age, as well as holding a long-running DJ spot on LA indie station KCRW, tells EW of covering Howlin’ Wolf’s iconic song “Evil (Is Going On)” with CC Adcock and “Bad Things” singer Jace Everett: “We were looking for a sort of signature song, and we wanted to have our own. We love Howlin’ Wolf, but we just wanted to have something a little fresher, something exclusive.”

True Blood: Season 3 Ends With A Touch Of "Evil"

Thw wonderful Jef lets us in on music from last night's finale 

It's weird, y'know? When Alan Ball was doing Six Feet Under, he turned out what may be the absolute best season/series finale of all time in that show's fifth season. He just can't seem to get there in True Blood - thus far, every season has ended on a very "meh" kind of feeling.
This time around, Sookie (Anna Paquin) has thrown Vampire Bill (Stephen Moyer) out of her life again, the season's big bad was encased alive in concrete, which cannot possibly come back to haunt our protagonists, and basically a whole bunch of storylines come to their absolutely predictable endings.
Oh, and Sookie dresses like frakkin' Tinkerbell and disappears into fairy light in a graveyard that we swear was lifted straight from the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
All and all though, it was a hell of a season with good stories, good boobs, good blood and good music.

'True Blood' season finale review: 'Evil Is Going On,' and on, and on... Entertainment Weekly

True Blood closed out its season on Sunday night with a series of double- and triple-crosses. The series didn’t so much end with a cliffhanger than it left multiple subplots dangling, as though creator Alan Ball decided he’d just clean up this messy season next season.

Let’s focus first on Sookie’s arc in this hour, because it’s a good example of the way True Blood was both extravagantly dramatic and frustratingly foolish in Season Three. Sookie stomped around angrily throughout much of the finale… whenever she wasn’t sobbing unhappily. Furious at Bill and the Eric left burning in the sun, pre-opening credits, Sookie listened to Bill tell her, “I pretended to betray you… again.” Then she dragged Eric, dazzled by his Godric vision, back into the house before he turned into a flaked ember, and let him feed on her to revive himself.

'True Blood' recap: Keep your eyes on the road -LA Times

No matter what happens, a "True Blood" finale should make the viewer feel something. We should be weeping that it's all over and cursing that we have to wait until next summer. We should be intensely angry and disappointed, saying, "THAT was the finale?" We should be ecstatic from how excited we are at what just happened. We should feel one of the above or some combination of them. But the "True Blood" finale pretty much made me feel nothing. It felt, for all the world, like a tiny pause in the storyline before we barrel forward toward something else, as though the show would be back in a few weeks' time, and we'd head toward the real end of the story at this point. A season finale is a period or an exclamation mark. This was a comma.

Over the course of the third season, it's become clear that what I like about the show and what you guys like (and what the producers like) sit on opposite ends of some canyon that's impossible to cross. I think the show works best when it's streamlined, moving forward constantly like a shark. Many of you love the diversions and side-trips we take into storylines that don't have much to do with the main plot (beyond featuring characters that all live in the same small town in Louisiana). I like the show best when the characters are all working toward some sort of impossible plan. Many of you like getting lost in the flavor and color of the world. And that's fine. We don't all have to like TV shows for the same reasons. The best I can do here is explain why I've liked enough of this third season to be entertained but also explain why it's failed on levels that made me feel vaguely dissatisfied.

'True Blood' weekends: 'In stock and overpriced at your neighborhood health food store'

So, "True Blood" fans. Did you enjoy your long weekend without the show? Were you able to take in a Labor Day parade or have one last, lazy day of summer ... or did you wake up Monday morning twitching from withdrawal? I get why HBO takes this holiday weekend off every year, but it increasingly seems silly, what with DVRs and midweek repeats and such. It breaks the season up just when it needs momentum the most, and it leaves everyone hanging so long that it's easy to forget just why everything was so compelling in the first place. Hey, AMC aired both of its shows last Sunday, and it didn't seem to suffer too much ratings-wise. Maybe HBO should think about doing the same next year.
But now we're right up against the big season finale, and there's plenty of discussion out there about whether or not the show has been successful in its third season. I gave my take right after the episode aired -- the short of it is that I've liked the main plots quite a bit, but I've found all of the supporting plots pretty tough to sit through -- but you guys were pretty well split over whether the season has worked. Some agreed with me, but some thought that the sheer number of story lines fed into one another so well that they kept driving the momentum into crazier and crazier places. I can see that point of view, I suppose, but I still think way too much of what happened this season was, frankly, boring.

'True Blood' Season Finale: What You Need to Know

True Blood's season finale airs on Sunday, wrapping up a summer of unfortunate kidnappings, unexpected deaths, and unanswered questions

What do you need to know to enjoy the episode, and what can you expect to happen during the finale?

'True Blood' vs. 'Mad Men': Which Deserves More Acclaim?
First, a recap of the season's plot so far: Werewolves exist, some werewolves are at the beck and call of a high-up vampire, Russell, who long ago killed Eric's family. Eric plots for revenge while Tara escapes an amusing but psychopathic vampire kidnapper and Sookie fights off Bill's persistent ex. Then Sookie realizes she is a fairy, with blood that functions as vampire sunscreen, thus making her extremely desirable to all vampires. Arlene discovers she is pregnant, unfortunately not by Terry but by serial killer Rene. Jason falls in love with a were-panther/dynastic-meth-dealer. Lafayette falls in love with Jesus (a guy, not the God-figure--probably), and both explore their magical backgrounds through the use of enjoyable but illegal drugs. Jessica and Hoyt seem to be reaching a rapprochement, though Hoyt's mama will fight it by all means necessary.

"True Blood" confession: I'm a fan of the fang Read more: Ostrow: "True Blood" confession: I'm a fan of the fang - The Denver Post

In polite company, people look askance when I mention a particular guilty pleasure involving Southern gothic storytelling and vampires.
Perhaps they confuse me with someone who cares about "Twilight."
No, my guilty pleasure is "True Blood," which concludes its third season at 7 p.m. Sunday on HBO.
"True Blood" is much more than sexy, although it is certainly that. And it's much more than violent, although, yes, there is that. On occasion, it's more than a campy treat, although often, that's quite enough.
This blood-soaked satire also weighs in with political allegory. Arguments over the Vampire Rights Amendment, the evangelical Christian crusade against Transylvanian immigrants, and certain recent hate crimes in and around Bon Temps, La., come to mind. A football jock juiced on "V" (vampire blood, a narcotic for humans), a couple using "V" to trip into an altered state, and underground dealings in "V" provide commentary on modern drug culture.

Exclusive: Video Sneak Peek of Sunday's 'True Blood' Finale!

This Sunday marks the third season finale of HBO's mega-hit "True Blood" and ET has three exclusive clips that inspire questions like: Will Sam reveal his true self to Tara? And, is Hoyt's mother staging a vamp-tervention?
In the first clip, Sookie (Anna Paquin) is seen running through the dark in a white gown, stopping before a mysterious chandelier that emits an unearthly glow. She gazes into the light until Bill (Stephen Moyer) wakes her from what seems like a dream state.
In the second clip, Sam (Sam Trammell) makes breakfast for Tara (Rutina Wesley), telling her, "There's a reason why I bark in my sleep." Will he reveal his shape-shifting ways to Tara?

And in the third clip, Hoyt (Jim Parrack) arrives for work, only to find his mother, his ex-girlfriend and his high school guidance counselor waiting for him. Are they staging an intervention to get him away from vampire Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll)?
Watch the clips above for more, and catch "True Blood"'s explosive season finale this Sunday on HBO.
