True Blood Season 4 Episode 1 "Shes Not There" (Spoilers Alert)

If you did not see the first episode this review will contain tons of spoilers, please leave now before reading. 




Let me start with, Did True Blood decided to hire the writers from the show Lost? Because I feel like the show got so complex in one episode that now I am not sure if I even want to go forward with the show. Let me calibrate, it starts off with Sookie in a magical land with other people just like her (faires, and no I do not mean gay people). They are eating glowing fruit. If my fruit was glowing I would not eat it for the risk of getting cancer. Cancer is written all over glowing fruit. Sookie was the only one who knew not to eat it because apparently the girl from the country area of America is the brightest one of them all and started to see visions of troll monsters within people. It just so happen to be that she was being captured under a spell by troll monsters! They wanted to eliminate her fairy kind out of jealously. Then Sookie escapes and jumps into a portal bringing her back to earth. This concludes the opening scene of True Blood season 4. It confused the shit out of me. The show is about vampires not a scene that reminded me of Power Rangers.

Sookie comes back home only to find out that she has been missing for a year and everything changed. I feel like the writers did this just to close unsolved gaps in the show. It's an awful trick. Jason's now a cop, Arlene had her baby, and Tara finally moved out to be a UFC lesbian. Why would Tara do that? I don't recall any signs of her wanting to kick girl's asses then sleep with them.  Jason becoming a cop, didn't shock me but it would be nice to see how it happen. I don't think the writers made a smart move here. Everyone liked the show because they connected to all the characters and now that connection is gone. I feel like it was a reboot of the show. Bill is also a political person now. Is he running for something? It's not very clear. Then Eric did a statement for his bar stated that the bar is for humans and vampires now. Also then you find out that when Sookie was gone, Eric bought her house and now she is his.

I am a big fan of the show, I liked what they did with the vampire's stories but I did not like this episode one bit. It needs to go back how it was. It didn't need this polished version.  I do not know how many people agree with me on this. But I do not think it was creative. I think it was a way out to get out of loop holes they didn't know how to conclude.
