Though viewers may have lost their patience for Bill and Sookie, Pam and LaFayette and and other favorites have sustained our interested enough to keep coming back.
It's the relationships among these characters that have kept even the most skeptical among us going. Those simple moments in the flashbacks were more interesting than most of what happened in the vampire plot, and "Life Matters" seemed to be the first step in living up to the promise that next year things will get back to basics. The flashbacks to the characters remembering his life (Andy's story about Fort Bellefleur, Sam giving Terry's his chance at a job, LaFayette taking him under his wing, Sookie's recollection at his love-at-first-sight feelings towards Arlene) were not just a great way to memorialize the character in a way the show rarely does, but it also reminded viewers of how grounded the show actually used to (kinda) be. They both had their value, but Terry's funeral could have spanned the entire episode, and that would have been fine. There were just two plotlines: the vampires taking over the facility thanks to Eric, and Terry's funeral. "Life Matters" may be the most straight-forward True Blood episode ever to air.
