Season 5 Finale Ratings High

HBO will be celebrating today thanks to the fangtastic ratings that Sunday’s True Blood  finale pulled in. Alan Ball’s final episode, “Save Yourself “, continued it’s run as the most popular Sunday night cable show, and was watched by a season high of 5.049m at 9pm and 1.228m at 11pm, making a total viewing figure of 6.277m. This is a higher figure than last year’s finale which had a combined total viewing figure of 6.177.

According to EW.com 

“True Blood is averaging  11.3 million viewers when all forms of  viewing are tallied”.

So there we have it , millions of viewers called in to Bon Temps to enjoy Eric Northman finally defeating his old adversary Russell Edgington, and setting out to save the world and rescue his progeny Pam from the clutches of the vampire authority. And of course they all were treated to the added bonus of Bill Compton’s humanity finally dying the true death and the birth of the the horror that will be Bilith.

Things are looking extremely good for Season 6 , and don’t worry as there are only 9 more months to go before we can tune in to find out how our hero and heroine will escape from the evil blood monster, if everyone will  manage to get out of the authority alive, and what exactly Nora knows about the mysterious Warlow.
