‘True Blood’ season 7 spoilers: Why could we see time speed up?
While we know at the moment that there is going to be a “True Blood” season 7 airing on HBO next summer, there are still a number of other mysteries associated with it … with the primary one being whether or not this is going to be the last go-around for Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgard, and the rest of the cast.
Based on what we are hearing now, this question could ultimately be very important when it comes to determining one key thing in the context of this show: How the story is going to take place over the course of the year. Speaking to TV Guide on the matter, executive producer Brian Buckner suggests that in the event this is the end for the series, we could see the last 10-12 episodes stretch a much longer period of time than just two weeks, largely for the sole reason that there are some important stories that would need to be touched on including if Sam and Nicole’s baby actually makes it to birth, and whether or not Eric can be fully healed following his shocking near-death experience with the sun.
We’ve said this before, but from a personal standpoint we’d like to see the show last two more years. Brian Buckner never really got to execute his full vision on season 6, since he took over from Mark Hudis midway through production. We’d like him to have an opportunity to tell a full story given that the season improved as it went along, at least before then having to bring the show to a screeching halt in the final episode.
What do you think about this news? If you do want to read a little bit more scoop when it comes to “True Blood” season 7, our suggestion for you is to just head on over to the link here. The new season will likely start airing June of next year.

He took over midway through the season but the end result was still his meaning there is no way a vampire with so much power and authority should have sat in the Fae cemetary tied to a headstone. There is no way Sookie’s character should have been written as desperate and turned to Bill after he said the things he said to her before he drank the blood of Lillith, when she tried to stake him to save Eric, and when he walked into her home once to ask for blood and the other time to retrieve Warlow. I think he should have a chance to execute his vision and if he is serious about making a change make the serious changes and allow Bill and Sookie to have a platonic friendship he only deserves. True Blood lost viewers because of the same old story lines and the writers writing the heroine to be naive when it came to Bill instead of learning her mistakes and becoming a true hero. Hopefully a spin off can come from this and the journey traveled is between Sookie with more fairy powers, Eric as a day walker, and his vampires fighting to unite the supernatural community.

If True Blood’ s writers, producers, and show runners want to make a change I think Sookie should be allowed to move on from Bill. I believe her forgiving him but not forgetting the things he has done would be a wise choice for her character. Every season Bill messes up and the writers spend the next season redeeming his character and the Sookie on again off again relationship has been the main focus and priority of the show throughout the series. We are tired of seeing their storyline evolve only to be the same thing every season. It’s almost like beating a dead horse when you see the Sookie/Bill/? Triangle season after season. It’s funny for everything she forgives him for and she leaves Eric cold because she doesn’t want to hurt either of them. Bill is a good character and I understand he is a major part of the show but it’s time for him to stop smelling like roses season after season whereas Eric because of his will to survive and adapt makes a lot of viewers scoff at the idea of him and Sookie being together. If Sookie can overlook Bill’s nature she should be able to overlook Eric’s nature as well because Eric always seems to swoop in and save the day. Bill just so happens to be the one that takes credit for it. Everyone forgot about Eric during season 6 and toward the end it was almost as if his character wasn’t a viable part of the show and didn’t exist to begin with. If Bill can live through all his near death experiences and pop back up unscathed to plot another day it is only fair Eric’s character should be allowed to do the same thing. Bottom line up front Sookie and Bill had six seasons to get their stuff together please drop it.
