True Blood-They Are All Monsters

Season 3 of True Blood wraps up with a few finial twists and turns that show us that the Good Guys aren’t so good.  Our hero vampire Bill took a number steps this season that showed he was more evil than we thought.  His casual betrayals pop up throughout the season, with his constant backstabbing causing a rift in his relationship with Sookie.

Our good old boy bartender Sam turns out to be more of a cold blooded killer and less of a poor misunderstood shapeshifter.  Sookie takes the time to torture an evil vampire and takes great pleasure in his suffering.  Lafayette seems to be a witch in the making and there is little chance of anything good coming of that.  Tara continues to suffer at the hands of the endless line of supernaturals who have taken an interest in her.

In short, the story has taken a definite turn to the dark side.  Yes, I know they are all monsters, but I have liked the general idea that they are trying to be nice monsters.  There is also something kind of silly about the idea of every manner of supernatural being in the known universe hanging out in the backwaters of Louisiana.

I still liked True Blood season 3.  There are so many characters and so much stuff going on.  The plot runs the gamut from redneck shapeshifters to Mexican witchcraft to Eric’s holding a grudge for a couple of thousand years.  It was fun.
