But how can he start fresh?

And Im not opposed to a bromance between the stocky werewolf and the compassionate shifter.

A shifter is going to have to shift.

Why not have a pet as some baggage-less, quiet company?

Why not avoid the Sookie temptation altogether and instigate a cordial breakup between the blonde and the bar?

Maybe he really is as fed up with her fickle presence as we are.

Nicole got unnecessarily caught up in Sams custody fight for Emma, as Lunas dying wish was affirmed.

By all means, if the 23-year-old wants her baby, have the baby.

Sam can even remain a loyal father and close friend and support system.But a newborn with another girlfriend?

The relationship is enough of a newborn itself.

Or take a break from women altogether.Maybe Sam simply shouldnt pursue a love interest at all.

And there are still glimpses of that Sam.

We dont want to see Sam move away (didnt he try that once?

), or see Merlottes in anyone elses hands.

He is the stuffed animal ofTrue Blood: Bon Temps feels like home when Merlottes feels like home.

Its your turn to weigh in: Is anyone else nostalgic for the single, simpler Sam?

What is coming for him next season?
