Come out of nowhere to no consequences at all, but I guess this series has a fair dose of that in the plot. Like the vampire high council just being a weird cult. Then when they are skeptical of their own religious mythical stories, it turns out it is true and kills all of them.
What about Maryann and the Dyonisius spell she put on people? It has many similarities with the lilith plot.
I guess the original Southern Vampire Mysteries author, Charlene Harris, wasn't so much into the epic story archs as she was interested in the characters. And thats where these elements of the book affect the tv series and sometimes don't get more developed. It has also to do with being reasonably focused on the audience and not obsessed with a perfect, deep, epic story of all that there was, there is and ever will be. But simply putting together enough elements to make an enticing story with good actors and crew so everyone can enjoy.
In that sense, it can be the difference between looking pretentious and being actually interesting. Sometimes it is difficult to balance both sides, and I think True Blood managed that quite remarkably.
