True Blood

True BloodThe fifth season of True Blood started out very weakly but fortunately improved a lot as time went on and finished with the usual bang.  And what a bang it was!!

Also, all the talk about adding the super-sexy Christopher Meloni to the cast turned out to be much ado about nothing, given that he was only in 3-4 episodes (boo!).

Season 5’s overarching theme was the power and goals of the often mentioned Vampire Authority.  Its secrecy and reach were explored in depth and over time they became more interesting then they were at the very beginning.

As usual, be prepared for characters making an entrance or an exit, twists and shockers, and an overall good time.

This was the last season supervised by creator Alan Ball, so we’ll have to see how much things will change next year.  I sure can’t wait, I totally crave this show.

Grade – Season 5: 6
