True Blood (2013) Season 6, Episode 1 Review



True Blood (2013), Episode 6.01
"Who Are you, really?", June 16th, 2013

***SPOILERS***

The opening of Season 6 begins exactly where it left off with the cliff hanger from Season 5. Chaos ensues in escaping the vampire headquarters and everyone is sticky with blood as per usual. Everyone seems divided, and Jason once again resents Sookie's allegiance to vampires. Bill is alive, but everyone fears he is Lilith incarnate and fears him, but he powerfully summons Jessica. Submitting to the summons the group find what appears to be Bill, but Sookie fearfully stakes him through the heart, but he survives. Sookie, Eric and his sister leave Jessica behind with Bill. Meanwhile Jason hitches a lift with Rutger Hauer (the pun should not be lost on those who remember Rutger Hauer from The Hitcher, 1986) what looks like it could be Waldo. Also Sam returns to town with Luna's daughter to find Lafayette in the bar. The world is in chaos with true blood in short supply and Pam and Tara are at each other's throats when the bar gets raided by police. Since a spectacular cliffhanger at the end of last season this episode seems to slow down after a jump start. Overall not a strong start to the season, but instead it is building up things to develop through the season.
