(Somehow, turning her into a vampire made Tara even less interesting.) Tara wasn’t the only character who needed to get the boot sooner rather than later this season: Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), once a semi-intriguing foil for the vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), was drained of any personality or purpose as the seasons dragged on- True Blood finally jettisoned him in its penultimate episode, and I can’t imagine there were many complaints. Because while Tara once made for a welcome (if often racially stereotypical) contrast to the unbearable purity of the show’s protagonist, Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), she ran her course long ago-right around the time, back in Season 4, that she briefly moved to New Orleans, changed her name to Toni, started dating a woman, and took up mixed martial arts. But other shows-I’m looking at you, The Newsroom-should follow suit. It’s a risky move most shows wouldn’t have made so early on in the season-imagine if Breaking Bad had (belated spoiler alert) offed Hank in its Season 5 premiere.
