So what do you all think, is Maryann finally going to get her wish and kill Sam? Also, I was kind of disappointed in the Queen Vamp. She wasn't intimidating enough.

I agree, I was dissapointed in the Queen. I don't think Sam will get killed though.

I disagree. She was doing what all Queens do. Living the life and oblivious to the common folk. Plus she made the boys look like little children.

I don't know. In the books, the Queen seemed stronger- less frivolous. Yes, she did not really care about the common folk, but, eh... The episode left me wanting and I thought it could have been played out better. Lets see what next week holds

I kinda felt the queen was just there to bridge gaps - she had no real purpose other than to spill the beans on maenads. for everything the writers gave her - i thought she did ok. and the parts that were more important to the future of the story really got overshadowed. Hadley coming in (and still being human at this point) and also how Bill was not surprised in the least by her presence there AND how they all knew each other before we were introduced to them. the only one who didnt know bill was hadley and she was the only one who was surprised when sookie's name was mentioned.

that's just my .02

I had the last three episodes on last night as back round while doing other stuff. I have to say the episode with Godric on the roof is my favorite. It was even better the second time around. Take out all the Maryanne bullshit and the season was pretty good.
One more week until final episode. I hope we see Maryanne suffer the way we had to suffer her all season! Rip her apart please!!!

do you guys not like maryanne because of her character or because the season has become so revolved around her?

personally, i know it's supposed to be a show about vampires, but i think they're using so much of maryanne so that she can serve as a transition for other creatures to come into the show, i.e. werewolves, etc..

i think her character is great and the actress does such a great job of making the audience really hate her.

i actually have enjoyed Mary Anne. Im curious to see how they are gonna get rid of her. I turned hbo on last night thinking that they were playing the finale. I forgot they weren't playing it this week :P

I guess I dislike the character because to me she has "taken over" the show. Way too much of the story line. It's almost like they wanted to add the orgies and violence for the audience, not to enhance the story of Sookie. All I know is, I hope either she is gone or she goes away and she only pops up once in a while.
Actress good, story ok, but overkill and not in a good way.

i think the marianne story line has definitely run its course. i have a feeling that there will be a cliffhanger along the lines of was she destroyed or not. i hope the first few eps of season 3 will show that she was destroyed.

it's not that i dont like the character it just seems as though the storyline has become overloaded with her. and i really felt that the plot point stagnated in the middle of the season. i think somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd orgy we got the gist of it and after 8 or 9 it kinda got old. i cant see alan ball killing off this character - i think she'll be back again somewhere in the future - i just hope that its not so long & drawn out. the show is based off a series of currently 9 books and the author has said even after #10 comes out she's got at least 3 more in her - so i feel like there's tons of material they could be using & instead we're stuck in a rut.

I agree 100%. So much more good stuff they could be using. Even if they do use Maryann and what she's doing in future episodes, get on with it already. She wants Sam, she thrives on sex, violence and total abandon. We get it, we don't need it shown over and over.

Really looking forward to 90 minutes of Vampire love, sex and GORE tonight!!!!

oops, only an hour...but a great hour it was!!!

After sleeping on it, I have to say I was very happy with the finale last night.
Maryanne in gone (thank f'n god).
Sam is safe and sound, again risking his shit for Sookie.
The Queens plot gets more interesting.
Jessica going vamp crazy is great!
Somehow I knew Eggs wouldn't last because he was the only link to the Mianad that was still around.
Tara also has a link to a plot in the future books, so maybe she needed to be released from him too.
Who abducted Bill? Was it Eric? Was it Lorena?

My only question, if Bill can sense Sookies emotions, does he know she got herself together and was going to say 'Yes"?

Wow, a great wrap up and certainly a cliffhanger!! Can't wait for next season!!
