Goofs
In Bill Compton's antebellum flashback: Outside of a bar, Charles Dupont tells Bill President Lincoln has called his soldiers, thus declaring war, and all the local men are going to enlist in the Louisiana military. In the next scene, during a rally in the bar, Dupont declares it is Louisiana's sovereign right to secede from the Union, and how Fort Sumter was just the beginning. Chronologically, Louisiana seceded on 26 January 1861, more than a month before President Lincoln's inauguration (4 March), and two-and-a-half months before the fall of Fort Sumter (13 April). And it was due to South Carolina's attack on Fort Sumter that on 15 April President Lincoln first called up state militia to fight the rebellion.

Booooorrring

Honestly, this is one of the most uneventful, uninspired True Blood episodes in recent memory. It's as though the writer(s) are completely out of new ideas, only taking the opportunity for snarky political jabs in lieu of coming up with intelligent plot lines.

My wife summed it up best when she asked if this particular episode was more than the standard 55 minutes in length. No dear, it just seems a lot longer because it was poorly written and did nothing to advance the story.

This continues the trend of sloppy writing with this show. Case in point last season when Eric Northman referred to a dead vampires 'warm blood all over him.' Really folks? Since when do these characters have warm blood?

And that is why this show is in it's final season. Hopefully a different writing crew will do better as this series concludes.
