This season was one of the best things on television. Season 2 had many surprises and brought in new characters. We got to learn that Sam wasn’t alone in the world. Sookie and Bill’s love for one another wasn’t just a fling.  There are such things as gods, evil churches, and virgin vampires. This show was over the top but the finale wasn’t so.

We pick up with Lafayette telling Sookie to take off her clothes. I thought that Lafayette was going to rape her. All he wanted was for her to put on a dress. Once she did he took her downstairs and Sookie found out the horrible news. She was destined to be a brides maid!  Maryann was planning a wedding for her and her god. She told Sookie that she was more than just human. Sookie couldn’t believe it but remember her actions from her very first episode of the first season. It looks like there was more to Sookie than Adam Ball wanted us to see.

Meanwhile, Bill was gathering up Sam for the sacrifice. Sam didn’t want to go but was persuaded by Bill anyway. Eric was chatting up The Queen we learned that She was the one running the Vampire blood to Eric. Eric promised her that Bill would be taking care of personally. Sam and Andy arrived to save the day only to turned into one of the herd. I guess Andy wasn’t a supernatural after all and all Jason needed was a good knock on the head. All was right and the time was perfect for the ritual.

Bill brought Sam to the sight and gave him to Maryann. He told Sookie not to worry. Eggs cut up Sam and gave the bloody knife to Maryann. Before she could finish the job she read Sam’s mind and he told her to destroy everything. She does and tries to go after Sookie. She reaches her in time and sees her god coming toward her. She gives herself willingly to him and wants to die. It was all a trick because Sam was pretending to a horned goat! He stabs Maryann and rips her heart out!

All of this happened within the first half of the episode. I thought since the climax of the season was over that the rest of the show was going to involve the Queen or Eric. I was disappointed to find out that the last half was quite boring. The people of the town just dealt with what happened. Most of them don’t even remember what they did.  Andy and Jason seemed to have became bodies now, Eggs is extremely bothered by his blackouts and everyone else is just dealing with the events.

Eggs becomes so distraught over his memories he asks Sookie to help him remember. Like a fool she does and turns him into a guilty villain. He tries to turn himself in to Andy but gets shot in the back of the head by an anxious Jason! Andy covered it up but you can tell his story is mighty weak. The truth will be found out and I can only wonder how Tara will feel about the truth. Jessica and Hoyt are both sorry about what happened and Hoyt was willing to give it one more chance. Jessica however ended up finding a lonely trucker and using him as food. Once Jessica learns about Hoyt wanting another go I’m compelled to see how she will react. I hope she doesn’t turn him.

Bill and Sookie went out on a dinner and Bill asked her to marry him. She was so shocked that she left to go to the bathroom and get herself together. She is worried about the truth that she has learned and wants to know what she is. When she returned she found Bill gone and the table a mess. Who took Bill and why? Next season looks promising with the audition of Evan Rachel Wood and the where is Bill storyline. I just hope it is better than the season finale!
