True Blood Season 5 Finale ‘Save Yourself’ REVIEW
Spoiler alert: If you’re one of those people who doesn’t like spoilers, stop reading now! We have some juicy spoilers for you about the season 5 episode 12 Finale of HBO’s “True Blood”
On last week’s episode it certainly looked like Bill is going off the deep end. It seems Bill is convinced he is the chosen one by Lilith. We also saw Russell completely take down the Fairy Elder, who was BTW one of my favorite minor characters the show has ever brought in. Sookie appeared before her to get some answers about the vampire out to eat her, but she struggled with getting coherent answers.
Official HBO synopsis of True Blood Season 5 Finale: Eric is going to embark on a final, desperate mission to overthrow the Authority and save Bill from losing his humanity. Andy is going to face the consequences of a light pact he made. Alcide will get ready for a second showdown with JD. Sam and Luna are going to test their limits in trying to escape the Authority.
On tonight’s show with the season coming to an end and we at Celeb Dirty Laundry are sad. The season was jam packed full of crazy, blood sucking action. In the preview for this week’s show it looks like Bill may hurt Sam. Bill tells Sam he should never have come to The Vampire Authority Headquarters. Apparently Sam knows too much now and he cannot trust him. If Bill hurts Sam, Sookie is not going to be pleased! Will Salome and Bill have a showdown, an epic battle between Chosen Ones? No doubt. Who will be victorious?
Eric, Nora and Tara show up at Sookie’s house. Eric wants Sookie to come to the Vampire Authority’s Headquarters to talk some sense into Bill. Eric tells Sookie they have Jessica and Pam, Tara pipes in that Sookie owes Pam. Jason is there and he lets the three musketeers know that he is not letting his sister go anywhere with them. Jason tells Sookie she has to tell the Fangers they should go back to the Hell that created them. Eric tells Sookie that it is Bill who has engineered blowing the True Blood factories up. He informs Sookie that he thinks she is the only person who will be able to get through to Bill. Can Sookie save Bill?
It looks like things may not go well for Russell Edgington tonight. The government has a video of Russell and Steve eviscerating 22 fraternity brothers at the local fraternity and they are not pleased. Meanwhile Russell not one to stop there has decided he wants a Sookie meal. The faeries band together and gear up for a fight and send lots of faery light at Russell. Russell is mocking them telling them he cannot even feel it! Russell isn’t your run-of-the-mill villain so I’m betting on the fact that they won’t stake him quite yet. They put a lot of effort into his comeback and, depending on whether or not he gets his fill of fairy blood (chances are he will), there’ll be a whole new story line for the show to play with next season: daywalkers.
On tonight’s show nearly every character is in a sticky situation, one that could very easily result in a vampire explosion, fairy explosion, shapeshifter explosion, or plain ol’ boring human explosion. Regardless, there’s going to be blood. It also seems likely there is going to be a huge cliffhanger!
Tonight’s episode is going to be another bloody exciting one, which you won’t want to miss. So be sure to tune in for our live coverage of HBO’s True Blood — tonight at 9PM EST! While you wait for our recap, hit the comments and let us know what you thought of True Blood season 5!
