Bill is going to die and be reunited with his Civil War era family. It's why they've been doing all of those flashbacks.

If Sookie is going to become a vamp, Pam should be her maker. Then there can be a spin-off series with the two of them living together--an 'Odd Couple' type sitcom. Sookie will get herself into some goofy predicament every week and Pam's catchphrase will be "Fucking Sookie!" -cue laughtrack-

I couldn't fast-forward those scenes quick enough.

Andy when paired with Jason = keep.

Andy when paired with Holly = don't care.

I fully expect the very last scene of the series finale to be Penn Jillette appearing and yelling "The Aristrocrats!"

Aside from the Tara story (what a weak ending to something that they ran through 80% of this season's episodes), I liked the rest of the episode. The Violet scenes were very good, the Hoyt scenes were good, and the Eric/Pam storyline continued to be really good.

However, Bill's honor-bound pride was something I thought rang completely false. He's had too long of a history at this point to all of a sudden again be some sort of prideful Southern gentlemen refusing anything from someone he hates, especially the only cure for his disease.

I'm reading it as that he's just ready to die, not because it's coming from Sarah Newlin. Also giving merit to the flashbacks of his family.

Then again, there are less painful ways to die!

I hope so, otherwise all of those flashbacks will make zero sense.

I want to stake myself with all the stupid going on here. Did the writers sit down and say "Hey, Tara's useless, universally loathed mom is a character we need to pay a lot more attention to in the last 3 episodes of the series" or that Hoyt's new girlfriend is so frickin' dumb she'll tag along on a violent police investigation after a fight with her grieving boyfriend? GAH IT HURTS MY BRAIN
