One question raised by True Blood fans: This show can’t really kill off Jess, can it?
According to TV Fanatic, here’s how episode 7 titled “Cold Grey Light of Dawn” goes: I’ve longed for the show to trim its roster for seasons now, as there are simply too many characters and too many storylines. There’s also a severe lack of consequences – in the form of significant deaths – for a series that treads so deeply in blood, gore and the supernatural.
But… not Jess! She’s the one individual whose been underused through the years, and I’ve been digging the possibility of her and Jason getting together.
I can’t imagine the show actually kills her off. Jason is right outside the front door, after all, and it takes more than a few rays of sunshine to end a vampire. It’s nice that no one actually knows the answer (Jess was not a character in the book series), and I can’t say I’d truly be upset if she does perish. It would certainly add a surprising jolt to the series, wouldn’t it?
Overall, “Cold Grey Light of Dawn” moved pieces and characters into place for the second half of the season.
Granted, there was A LOT of talking – the exchanges between a chained-up Bill/Jess and Eric/Sooke dragged on – but the episode did a strong job bringing arcs together, as Tara is now teamed up with Antonia/Marnie, and, just like Arlene’s baby, Lafayette is seeing singing black women out of nowhere. Sam and Tommy? Ummm, well, they are simply still around.
Let’s return to Eric and Sookie for a moment, though, and a point my colleague brought up in last week’s True Blood Roundtable: doesn’t getting the two of them together in this manner feel like cheating? Sookie admitted here that she’d never have hooked up with the old Eric, which is what so many viewers had been clamoring for. So that problem is solved by erasing his memory and making him into the sweetest supernatural being since Casper?
