You are not alone…me and several of my friends had hoped the show would allow Eric and Sookie to be together, after the disappointment that was Harris’ DEA, Hopes dashed yet again.

What back stabbing?

For season 5 and 6 I watched the Eric parts on (5-10) you tube. I plan on doing the same for season 7.

Exactly. I don’t plan to return, and I was a fan. It’s sad to see the show trail off into incoherence and stupidity, with only nudity and violence to keep people watching. I always hoped Sookie would get together with Eric, and wake up to Bill’s abusiveness, because it made sense. It made the long-term plotlines work. It’s a classic reversal–Bill looks like a hero, but he’s really a villain, Eric looks like a villain but he’s really a hero.

Eric had all the actual good qualities, while Bill had the appearance of them. Bill was just a really good liar. It would have been satisfying to see Sookie finally figure this out. That appeared to be the story they were telling for six seasons. But the writers seem to have abandoned it at the end of season six.
Abandoning that storyline six seasons in leaves the show floundering. If the writers had at least tried to substitute new, interesting stories for the Bill/Eric/Sookie conflict it could have worked. But every new storyline they’ve introduced has been completely wasted. Luna shifting on national TV was supposed to out the shape-shifters and make the werewolves and shifters interesting (at last!). Nope, that was conveniently forgotten. Warlow was supposed to make Sookie’s fairy ancestry relevant–that didn’t happen. He was an incredibly lame villain, and eventually just became another excuse to get Sookie naked. Lilith’s possession of Bill was supposed to be exciting, and there were all these prophecies that went . . . nowhere. Now we’re supposed to get excited about zombie vampires? I don’t think so.
