Alan Ball...seriously?


Is it just me or has season 4 of Alan Ball's True Blood become epically cringe worthy? Since Eric lost his memory he has become the epitome of lame and his relationship with Sookie is just not believable. Fans who previously hoped the two of them would get together I assume wanted this as there was a level of sexual tension between them in previous seasons which has been lost now that Eric has become a 'sensitive soul'...ie. pretty much the opposite of everything he was before. The sex scenes between him and Sookie, particularly those with a curtain of snow and the like falling on them are embarrassing!
Change can be good but in this season there has been too much...and too many ridiculous sub-plots. Other examples are Jessica and Jason's obsessing over one another, and the whole possessed Lafayette/mother and baby thing. That was just weird..and not in a good way!
I will still watch avidly every week but Ball, I think you need to up your game!
