True Blood: Sookie Stackhouse is a What?

Beware if you have not seen the latest episode of True Blood – this post contains SPOILERS!

We are admitted rabid fans of HBO’s hit vampire drama True Blood. We love the mysteries of the show, it’s what really keeps us on the edge of our seats waiting for what crazy thing is going to happen next. One of the biggest mysteries from the show that has plagued fans for ages now is: what the hell is Sookie Stackhouse?

First Sookie (Anna Paquin) was just a simple telepath, so to speak. Then she started doing increasingly weirder things now and then – like blowing white light out of her hands and knocking people across the room. Next, she had a near-death experience with a bunch of glowing, dancing babes and dire warnings about her vampire boyfriend ‘stealing her light’.

Finally, on True Blood last night, we got the answer to the question of what the hell is Sookie Stackhouse. The long-awaited revelation? Sookie Stackhouse is a fairy.

Um, what? We thought Lafayette was the fairy on True Blood… just kidding, we love Lafayette and are happy he found a cute boy toy to play with.

Really though, a fairy? If you’ve read the books, this may not come as a surprise but we’ve been careful not to read ahead of the show and spoil anything. We just can’t help but giggle at the idea of Sookie as a fairy/elf/whatever progeny. As she says on the show, that’s kind of “f**king lame.”

Give us vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters and even maenads – but fairies? True Blood just gets weirder every week and the worst part is that all too soon we’ll have to be waiting until the new season to find out where this latest reveal leads! Arggh!
