Maybe it is too soon and it will grow on me but I am not feeling Tara as a vamp either.

Yes! It's not working for me either- Tara as a vamp, or the season in general. It all seems very chaotic and over-the-top- not enough time to absorb it. I understand throwing us in the middle of the plot as a way to propel the narrative...but there are SO many new subplots, and we've been launched into all of them at once. It would be nice to see a bit more set-up.
Didn't poor Lafayette already go through one season with PTSD? And Reverend Steve Newlin as a gay American Vampire? I dunno, just seems like the subplots are getting a little thin.
I am enjoying learning Pam's history, but even the whole "flashback as a form of mourning" device is a bit too contrived for my taste.
It's Alan Ball's last season- maybe he's trying to leave them with plenty of material to work with?
