Undeading True Blood
The seventh and final season of True Blood premiered on Sunday June 22, 2014. Will the series go out in a blaze of glory or will it just flicker out leaving us with the taste of ashes in our mouth. Does the episode title “Jesus Gonna Be Here” portend a resurrection of interest in this show?
I stopped watching a few seasons ago. I gave more reasons
for quitting the show in my previous post, but essentially I felt that the
whole point of the show had become a game to see if each new episode could top
the previous one’s body count, gore, over-the-top sexual misadventures, and number
of buckets of blood. My last post was for an episode named “Save
Yourself.” I decided to save the
time I had spent watching this show.
But now I’m feeling a little nostalgic for Sookie and her
friends. Maybe I’ll come back.
One thing that I liked about the show was its social satire
elements. Today, I came across an article from Mother Jones that discussed the
social commentary embedded in the show. True Blood is really all about civil
rights, political malfeasance, and religious bigotry. Read the article: “A
Political History of “True Blood.”
I just added True Blood
back to my viewing list. If it doesn’t revive my interest, I won’t hesitate to
put a stake in its heart. All I have to
do is click “delete” and the undead are dead to me again.
