- 'True Blood' Season Five Finale Recap: 'Save Yourself'
Russell Edgington suffered the true death (finally!), Sheriff Bellefleur became a daddy (four times over!), while Bill showed us his teeth (and not in a good way). In short, it was everything you'd expect from a "True Blood" season finale. Let's get to it.
The fae way
The episode picked up right where last week's penultimate left off, with Russell high on faerie blood and headed straight for the enchanted ones' lair. Despite hurling all of the light at him, the fae could not deter him, and it looked as though the villainous vamp would break through until Eric sneaked up behind him and staked him good, finally exacting the vengeance he'd so longed for. Sookie ran to make sure Jason was okay after being blasted, which left her momentarily vulnerable to Eric's "sister" Nora. In a nice throwback to an earlier episode, Nora asked what Sookie was, to which Eric replied, "She's a waitress." He then recruited Sookie for his Vampire Authority rescue mission, with Jason (who was seeing visions of his parents) in tow.With the faerie population momentarily safe, it was the perfect moment (if ever there could be a perfect moment for something like this) for Andy's magical baby mama to give birth at Merlotte's. Uping the awkward factor, Andy's current flame, Marnie, who had just learned of the impending birth, helped deliver the babies. Yes, babies, plural. Because Maurella gave birth to not one, not two, not three, but FOUR children. And let's just say the experience seemed to have been more ecstasy than agony for the faerie. Seconds after the last one popped out, Maurella hopped off the pool table and out of the bar, leaving Andy to raise his new brood. Facebook butt shots are clearly the least of the lawman's worries now.
Top dog
Alcide also took on a new role in this episode: that of packmaster. After Rikki was brought to him with an apparent V overdose and tales of the Shreveport packmaster's mistreatment, Alcide decided it was time to get rid of the goon for good. Which he did, assuming his rightful place as packmaster.Bye, bye, Bill?
Meanwhile, major ish was going down at Vampire Authority HQ. Sam was brought in as Bill's breakfast, but before the former king could get so much as an incisor into the shapeshifter, Sam transformed into a fly and buzzed off to help Luna and her doggie daughter escape. Luna risked skinwalking again, shifting into Steve Newlin's form to take his pet for a walk, but instead of the front door, the reverend was shown to a TV studio to give a live address. Midway through, Luna shifted back into her natural form. Live television—so unpredictable!Back to Bill: he admitted to Salome that he offed Kibwe because he tried drinking all of Lilith's blood, which wouldn't have been right seeing as the goddess selected Salome as her chosen one. All of it, however, was just a ploy to get Salome to drink the blood herself, which Bill cleverly laced with silver. One big gulp of Lilith's life force, and Salome was writhing on the floor, giving Bill the opportunity to stake her.
At the same time, Eric, Nora, Sookie, Jason and Tara had infiltrated Authority headquarters, with Jason picking off the undead one by one in grand Rambo fashion. The group tracked down Jessica and Pam, and upon the Fantasia proprietor's release, she and progeny Tara shared a passionate liplock. "I knew it!" Jess exclaimed. With their friends safely released, the group made for the exit, but Sookie and Eric stayed behind to go after Bill.
With impeccable timing as always, the duo walked in on Bill just as he was about to throwback the vial of Lilith's blood. Sookie tried using Bill's one-time love for her to convince him not to go down the forsaken path, but it was all for not. He drank the liquid, which turned him into a pile of goo. But like Lilith, he rose, reborn and ferocious. And there's your cliffhanger.

Переслать - Watch EXCLUSIVE Book Trailer For Neal Shusterman's 'UnWholly'
This one is for all of the "Unwind" fans out there who've been eagerly anticipating the release of Neal Shusterman's highly anticipated sequel "UnWholly." Hollywood Crush has been blessed with the excellent opportunity to bring you your first look at the book trailer for "UnWholly," which will finally be available everywhere on August 28. Feast your eyes on the glorious action-packed, expertly packaged preview in the video below.
The text of the trailer teases that "'Unwind' grabbed you by the spine, [but] 'UnWholly' will tear it out." The footage opens with a gunman in front of a young boy, teasing with him about running for his life before he tranqs him.
"I'll give you a fighting chance," says the gunman. "If you can make it to the front door before I tranq you, I'll let you go."
Unfortunately for the boy, he doesn't make it to the door and is shot in the back. The next scene shows a new man cutting into meat at dinner, asking the gunman about how successful his day was in hunting kids.
"So, how many did you get for me today?" he asks the gunman.
"Two," answers the shooter, after which the scene shifts and there is a quick cut to a familiar blue-eyed blonde, one Levi Calder shown running through the woods and the echo of a girl's voice calling "Lev! Lev, wait!"
Cut back to the dinner table scene with the two dangerous men. "I thought you might like to know, we have reason to believe that Connor Lassiter, the Acron AWOL is still alive," continues the mystery man.
"I'll bring him in," answers the gunman. "But only under one condition, I get his eyes."
Cree-py! Even better, the next bit of text continues with the unsettling theme and asks the question: "Are you worth the sum of your parts?"
The last 30 seconds of the trailer up the action ante. We see Lev running and being chased through the woods, cut with flashes of syringes full of a liquid being made ready to inject into someone. The final shot is from the perspective of someone lying on a hospital bed, looking up at a medical team putting him/her under anesthesia.
"Stay whole," the trailer text ominously advises.
"UnWholly" hits bookstore shelves tomorrow.
