TRUE BLOOD
July 20, 2014  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

In its final season, True Blood has rejuvenated itself, pulsing with new life like a freshly fed vampire. Last week’s episode, in which Sookie (Anna Paquin) went on a rescue mission with many of the show’s most compelling characters: Bill (Stephen Moyer), Eric (Alexander Skarsgard), Sam (Sam Trammell), Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), Jason (Ryan Kwanten) and my favorite character of all, Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten). That hour had action, drama and blood galore – but it also had lots of what this show has lacked of late: a true, True Blood sense of humor. Pam and Eric running a video rental store in an Eighties flashback? Fangtastic. And tonight, on a less willing mission, Sookie hosts a mainstreaming party, luring both locals and vamps.
