I like True Blood precisely because it is such a steaming pile of ridiculousness.

I did have a problem with the Lafayette/Mavis “Ma bab-bie!” nonsense, in particular its resolution. How the hell did Jesus not only explain the situation to everyone without carting Lafayette to the loony bin, but also got them to dig up the bones of a long-dead woman and her child? I know that we’re dealing with a world that has vampires, werewolves, fairies, shifters, werepanthers, your mother, witches, and telepaths, but I can’t imagine them trying to shoot that scenario:

“Don’t shoot, we’re coming out! It’s been a huge misunderstanding! Lafayette was merely possessed by the spirit of a dead woman who was murdered here after she found out her baby was killed and just wants to live in her old home and have her baby back. It happens all of the time, amirite ladies?”

“Ok! Let’s go diggin’ for the bodies!”
