It's not like we didn't see this coming. The moment a showrunner quits, you know the end is near. Alan Ball quit after True Blood's fifth season, and season 6 apparently suffered for it. I have yet to see that part of the show so I can't agree or disagree on its quality (nor can I say whether it was "bad" enough to justify ending the show), but the ratings spiralling downwards are an undeniable fact. The show followed a quality pattern as it was, where the odd number seasons were great and the even number seasons proved disappointing (but still watchable) by comparison. Hopefully the last season, number seven, will continue this trend and end the show on a grand note, worthwhile of what passed before. It's commendable HBO has decided to give True Blood a decent farewell run at all instead of just pulling the plug entirely and leaving us with many a cliffhanger to speculate over for all eternity. Imagine how frustrating that must be for someone who's among the living dead!
Oh well, we sure had some 'good times' with this show. Fortunately, we still have some more of Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones to look forward to on HBO. Plus, the money for its new Westworld show had to come from somewhere...
Farewell Sookie Stackhouse. And goodbye viking/entrepeneur vampire who always stole the show...
