Ever since the beginning, we knew that True Blood wasn't going to be just an epic love story.

SPOILERS!

Ever since the beginning, we knew that True Blood wasn't going to be just an epic love story. It was great, crazy, sexy and brilliant! It was pure entertainment, and not to mention it had really awesome opening credits, and theme song:

First of all, I just made this to commemorate True Blood-- the only show I've ever truly loved from the start. And any of my opinions you will read below, they seem vague. I know. If you don't want any of those, proceed to the "Thank You Notes" *winks*.

The past Seasons 1-5 were pretty awesome seasons. There were no boring parts, and even if there were, they were tolerable. The cliffhangers were worth anticipating, they were crazy, and some were seriously disturbing, but it was still pure entertainment.

After Season 5, I was disheartened when I found out that Alan Ball stepped down as the showrunner and Brian Buckner replaced him. I appreciate Bucky's creative direction, but they just weren't as brilliant as Ball's. I think season 5 was okay.. but I hate the Authority.. who doesn't?!

Oh, and forgive me Eric, but killing off Russell like that didn't do him justice! (Russel was bloody brilliant, and a Royalty! just a bit nuts, can't you accept that, Viking?)

I didn't want Sookie to die here. But ..*sigh*

However, Season 6 introduced a crazy new array of storylines and characters that they wanted to fit in just a single episode! Season 6, in my opinion, strayed a bit far from continuing what we had in Season 5. In short, the sixth season may have driven some viewers into a stupor.

“"If you still love me, if you care about me at all, then you will call off your dogs, you will dismantle the LAVTF and you will shut down that terrible camp."”“-Willa Burrell”

It is hard to please everybody, and well, you know what they say... This is a wild and crazy show, and it may have gone "downhill" for some, but Truebies and myself have remained true, and I'm sure as f*ck, we will miss it along with the townspeople of Bon Temps, and their epic shit.

As True Blood meets the inevitable true death, we respond to the last call, pay our last respects, stay true to the end.. pretty much just sob afterwards.

Okay now... so we all know that [True Blood](series:200767) already ended Sunday, August 24. I'm pretty sure it left everybody in tears, loathe and confusion, among many other random emotions... (I based them in fan reactions. For the love of Godric)

If you haven't seen the series finale "Thank You" yet, then there will be only *some* spoilers here... (I can obviously just download the finale before Sunday, August 31 in Asia.. but neh. I choose to be True To The End).

SPOILER ALERT Right after the finale (I've been participatin' in the live-tweeting.. )

SPOILER ALERT Articles have been poppin' up in the inter-webs. There's been news about True Blood, some mild spoilers, mixed reviews, etc, etc.

SPOILER ALERT Bill chose the True death (Why Bill?!! F*cking why??!) , and fans are not happy about it. They would go to the path where Bill becomes human (even though it would really sound ridiculous) rather than an unhappy ending, with Sookie ending up pregnant, with a guy we didn't even get to see. Sarah wanted Pam to turn her.. I don't know what happened next, though..

SPOILER ALERT Jess got married to Hoyt.... Ermmm..! New Blood!! Yeah! And we still think it should be the title of a new spin-off starring PaRic and Lala. All Truebies say, "Amen."

Okay, for real now. Here's my True Blood Season 7 Thank You notes.

I'll credit you, Jimmy Fallon for the term "Thank You notes".

1.) Thank You, True Blood, for reminding me not to fall in love to the first strangely handsome bloke that walks in a bar.

'Cause you know.. he might just use me..

2.) Thank You, True Blood for great life, love, and friendship advice. (That I give to friends too!) I swear, my growing up years wouldn't be better without you. You're better than counselors or my parents, in giving advice. Sorry guys.

that, among many other things..

look at that, blondie giving advice when she's terrible herself.

don't rush.

remember to say these when you're losing self-esteem

Lastly on this note, never assume.

4.) Thank You, True Blood for some things that I may actually use later in life. (Can't post it here though.. what if my homies see it?)

5.) Thank You, True Blood, and Pam, for new vocabularies and profanities I heard on your show. And some tips on how to use sarcasm effectively.

and fashion too.

6.) Thank You, True Blood for the life version of Eric, Bill, Jason, Alcide, and even Sam.

7.) Thank You, True Blood, for y'know, Team Spirit. 'Cause I need to cry with my fellow Truebies. 'Cause I can never release you.

because, why, Bucky? Why?!! I fucking hate you.

Actually, I have a lot more to say. But I don't want to bore y'all with this little tribute I made for True Blood.

To all the cast members, the crew, Alan Ball, Charlaine Harris, and okay, even you Bucky, Thank You all, for the fangtastic 7 years. This show was my guilty pleasure, for I've been watching it even though, I still wasn't supposed to.

I will surely miss them all, because every Sunday night when I sit down to watch these guys, I feel like I belong to their story, and Bon Temps is my home.

It's hard to say goodbye.

Farewell, Bon Temps.

True Blood, do I really have to release you?

Any True Blood haters? 'Cause I'll defend the show, with my life.

staying True To The End.
