And then it happened.I remember watching and thinking, "If he lets her die, that's it, I won't watch anymore." Sure enough, I haven't seen any more episodes.Now, the reasoning behind this is that I no longer cheered for the protagonist. To me, in that moment, he became the antagonist. I wanted him to lose. And without there being a protagonist to cheer for, what point was there in watching the show?For different reasons but the same basic result, I'm now asking myself if I want to continue watching True Blood. My reasoning is that it's simply so out of character for her to pull the trigger. In which case I have to wonder if they're simply going for shock value and not even bothering to attempt to write a good story anymore (although, that accusation could be levelled at the show before this).And so I wonder whether or not I really want to watch a show where the primary protagonist is just a vehicle for shock value and a ratings draw. We already know she has nice breasts but maybe they've been so exposed that they're becoming passé and the producers think they need her to be a cold-blooded murderer to draw in more viewers?All I know is that for the first time since the series introduction, I'm not really interested in seeing the next episode.</blockquote>
