This show is just the world's biggest hot mess, and the continuity errors are staring to make me bonkers. The first thing I really do not understand is the role of the Authority. It used to seem like the Authority was a very large organization with key players at the state, local and national levels. Is that the case? If so, why do we only ever see like four people in a room. Shouldn't there be more representatives than just a few people from Louisiana? Doesn't every state have kings, queens and sherrifs that should be weighing in here? And what about other countries?
Or are we only seeing the Authority of Louisiana, and have they gone rogue from the International Authority that is still supporting mainstreaming?
I also thought that the AVL and the Authority were two separate groups, with the AVL handling American vampire politics and human relations, and the Authority just being responsible for enforcing inter-vamp laws?
Not to mention, if you go back to early seasons, there were always "sanguinistas" in the Authority. Heck, Bill was forced to make Jessica by some sherrif who kept railing on about how Sookie shouldn't matter to Bill because she was just food anyway.
None of this makes sense!
Also, if Bill and Eric are just faking this all until they figure a way out, the show has done a terrible job of that. Because I won't be surprised either way. There will be no "shocking" reveal in one of these final episodes, it will be "oh, guess Bill was faking, pretty obvious" or "oh, guess Bill really was a Lillith follower, pretty lame. Yawn."
I LOVE RUSSELL.
