Or they could've left town. It seems the spell is only effective within Bon Temps.

Oh yeah, another point no one made: I hope no one's going to defend Tara after this. She literally attempted to aid in genocide (okay it was just the one town FOR NOW but I'm sure the scale will increase soon.) Sure she nearly got killed by Pam and Eric, but what have Jessica and that fat black woman vampire ever done to her?

^Agh, I was replying to Fuddlemiff.
Wacky, I think that was completely in tune with how Tara was portrayed throughout the whole show. Kinda like Jason was joining the FOTS, but instead out of stupidity, she does it because she's badly traumatized. Doesn't make it right, but kinda understandable.

It's like when Magneto turns aruond Stryker's plan at the end of X2 to kill all the humans.

I'd rather Franklin was still in the show than Tara.
True Blood looks pretty cool in black and white, though!

So if Franklin had been a human rapist would she have tried to kill all humans?

I have to say that, while watching Tara, I totally understood it too. The vamps are the stars of the show, but I still allow for the possibility that it's okay for people in the world to want them all gone. They're the good guys and the bad guys at the same time.

All males, more likely. But then again, the writers already used a stereotype by turning her gay, so I guess that one wasn't needed...
But, look, it wasn't only Franklin. There was also Lafayette being tortured by Vamps and Sookie who was almost killed by Bill. It's not like she ever had a positive experience with vampires. Her reaction is a very common one, in fact, it is at the heart of many prejudices ppl have, so it kinda makes sense to depict Tara that way.
That, and what Eggs said.

My previous title sucked.
OH THIS IS MY FAVORITE SERIES AND I TOTALLY WATCH IT

I get where Tara's coming from, but it's annoying that the writers keep using her as a punchbag. Every time they need something really terrible to happen to a character, it's her. And then we hear her being stroppy and miserable again and the same old speeches. All the other characters have varied storylines.

It's tough for the character and the actress though. She's a regular, so she has to show up in almost every episode doing things with the other characters.
But simple logic dictates that anyone in Tara's position would have told Sookie to fuck off ages ago, grabbed Lafayette and moved as far away as possible.
Instead, the writers keep piling on the crap and making her suffer, and making her seem stupid for sticking around. If I were that actress, I'd be having a long talk with the writers.

Maybe she could use some of her CAGE FIGHTING skills on the writers!

Be patient till the last.
well, considering her role in the books, I guess as an actress she's glad to get the work in a highly expanded part...it prolly only bugs us.
