Paquin and Moyer gave stellar performances as they said their final goodbyes to one another (although the two actors get to stay happily married to one another in real life).Īnd then, after a time jump of roughly four years after Bill's death, the town of Bon Temps became a much brighter place. We knew he got his happy ending with James (Nathan Parsons), but couldn't we get just one sassy comeback from him before the credits rolled?Īpparently, there just wasn't enough time, not with Sookie donning a black dress to meet Bill at the graveyard for his funeral. That question became all the more pointed upon the realization that Nelsan Ellis' Lafayette didn't even get one line of dialogue in the finale. As one impatient fan put it, "This is cute and all BUT ARE WE REALLY WASTING VALUABLE TIME ON JESS AND HOYT?!" Jessica and Hoyt are one couple that fans have rooted for, and while the gesture was sweet - it allowed Bill to walk Jessica down the aisle before his untimely death - it was still a bit of a rush, and took away from the main event. Baby-vamp Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) and Hoyt (Jim Parrack) decided to get married. Yet before Bill could say his parting words, "True Blood" took an unexpected detour and threw a human-vampire wedding. Annoyed fans had one word for his choice: selfish. His martyrdom and his speech were romantic, but then he asked Sookie, while she stood there crying over his impending death, to do the actual killing. (Being dead and all makes it kind of difficult to reproduce.) He knew they wouldn't be able to stay away from one another, and he wanted Sookie to have the life he felt she deserved - one with a family, something a vampire cannot give her. All she wanted was for her one true love to live. While Sookie's (Anna Paquin) feelings for Bill have definitely flip-flopped throughout the series, there was no doubting who had her heart last night. But surprisingly, they had the guts to actually go through with it. Most were convinced that in typical "True Blood" fashion, writers would pull out a twist in the final act and he would end up living. Granted, the show has been building up to Bill's death the last few episodes, but it still seemed like something that wouldn't actually happen. If you were told before the final season that Stephen Moyer's Bill Compton wouldn't make it out alive, would you have believed it? Yes, the demise of Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Alcide (Joe Manganiello) were shocking to viewers earlier in the season, but they were secondary characters. One of the big surprises was the death of a major - and we mean major - character. For others, "True Blood's" conclusion just might rank up there with the worst finales of all time. For some, the ending was all they could've asked for after sticking by the show for seven seasons. Whether the show's fans appreciated those twists is another story.
