You know, like pretend to take the antidote, make sure all his affairs were in order and that everyone was going to be okay, and then slink off and lay down in a grave. Did Bill really have to enlist Sookie to kill him? Wasn’t he bound to dissolve into black goo at any moment? Why was he showing up at her house and giving Tennessee Williams–esque speeches about how he needed to die so that Sookie could finally stop loving him and move on with her life? (Uh, don’t flatter yourself?) It was bad enough that he refused to live on as a friend and supporter to his loved ones, but he also wanted to make sure Sookie participated in his death, too? I’m honestly trying to imagine a way for this narrative beat to have made better sense, but all I can come up with is that if Bill really did feel the need to die, he should have probably done it in secret. The problem was the journey that brought us to that point. On the positive side, it was a suitably powerful moment on which to end the series, and it darkly dovetailed with how the series began (as an ostensible romance between the two). Sookie staking Bill was both the best and worst thing about this episode. Lafayette Deserved Better From True Blood’s Series Finale ![]()
