With all the excitement due to the drama's last season, it's easier to see why True Blood creators decided to kill off original cast member Tara (Rutina Wesley) in the season premiere and create a water cooler moment.

"It was kind of crazy. I was like, 'Wow, OK!' But that's what makes it True Blood. We're in our final season. We have to keep it bloody. Somebody's gotta go!" Wesley told TVGuide.com.

"I was OK with it," Wesley said about dying on the TV show. "I'm sad. It's kind of bittersweet because I'm going to miss everybody, but on to bigger and better things. It's been a wild ride so far."
