In Memoriam: The Best of True Blood

4. “Now time for the weather, Tiffany.”
This scene by far is one that sticks out in the minds of “True Blood” fans. Fan favorite Russell Edgington, the villain that you loved to love, shows his true evil vampire self and rips out the spine of a news anchor. If only the real news was this exciting.
3. RIP, Mr. Compton
Sookie and Bill were doomed from the start. Whether you were team Bill, Eric, or Alcide, the love between Sookie and Bill was an integral element to the show. After the finale episode aired, it should have been obvious all along that Bill would meet a bloody end. All Sookie wanted was a normal life, and all she had to do was kill her vampire ex-boyfriend to get it.
2. Steve Newlin Is a Gay Vampire
The Season 2 antagonist returned at the end of Season 4, and surprise! He’s a vampire and has left his former hate-mongering church leader life behind to finally come out of the closet. Much like Bill’s death, we should have seen that coming. Steve is eventually killed by Eric Northman in Season 6, but still, it was nice to see a character do a complete 180. During the lacking later seasons, Steve Newlin’s newfound vampy gayness was a much welcomed surprise.

1. Sookie Says What We Were All Thinking
You have to give it to “True Blood” for making fun of itself. Props to the writers for this one. No further explanation needed.
