Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
"Love is to Die," as the penultimate series episode, marked the beginning of the end - delivering a dull, stretched-out farewell headlined by one of the show's most idiotic developments to date. Bill refusing the cure...because reasons. And in typical True Blood fashion, an attempt is made to illustrate how dumb the story decision is (as if to indicate that the writers themselves are well aware) by having other characters bring up how stupid it is. Jess and Sookie literally can't believe their ears when Bill refuses to drink from Sarah and insta-cure himself.
And it's not the timing of it all. The whole being snuck into Fangtasia and waiting until the last possible moment to refuse. No, that was done for silly TV drama's sake. It's the fact that Bill has, basically, no reason for refusing. Oh, sure, he comes up with an extraordinarily flimsy excuse later on - something about Sookie needing him gone in order to move on - but the fact that he's made mute, confused and unable to figure out what to say at the top of the show, after last week's cliffhanger, is exhaustively poor plotting. Terrible through and through. And all the while, as noted, other characters are yelling at him about how horrible it is that he can't explain himself.
