‘True Blood’ season 6 spoilers: Janina Gavankar on implications of Luna’s move
What is pretty interesting about the following story is really rather simple: We don’t even know for sure whether or not Luna is going to be a part of “True Blood” season 6 for longer than just a few minutes, and yet, we are still speculating on Janina Gavankar’s role. At the end of the show’s run last summer, we saw her in a very dangerous position. Not only was she on the brink of losing her own life, but she put the entire community of shapeshifters in an extremely precarious position thanks to some of her own actions.
This is something that Gavankar (who also was featured in a recent arc on The CW’s “Arrow”) had to say in an interview with HollywoodLife, and the implications behind her actions could potentially go on to effect so much more than just herself:
“She just outed everyone in the shifter community, so now the world knows there’s more than one supernatural creature on this earth. Holy. F**k. Imagine being a human watching that. As it is, you have to deal with the idea of there being vampires. This is potentially bad for every shifter on the planet.
“You remember when they ‘came out of the coffin?’ It’s like restarting the series all over again for that supernatural group.”
So regardless of whether or not Luna lives or dies in the long-term, Sam Merlotte is going to have to deal with this. If Luna does not make it, it’s going to be an even more difficult experience for the Sam character. After all, this is a man who has already lost a brother in Tommy Mickens, and Sookie Stackhouse never reciprocated any of the feelings that he had for her.
