Im not sure what the hate for season 4 is about. I quite liked the witches.
My biggest problem with the show is that 99% of the vamps are unlikable. The only vamp I really liked was Godric.
In season 5 Im hoping to see more funny stuff from Andy and Jason as well as a nice Jessica-related nude scene. TBH, I knew Jessica was too "pretty" to get her tits out when I first saw her >:(

[Ogni-XR21]

Everytime I start a new season of True Blood I'm about to give up on the show while watching the first few episodes. But after maybe 3 or 4 I usually make my peace with the story and b-movie feel and end up liking it again.

[Funky Papa]

It's kind of like American Horror Story; you just need to embrace the cheese. Once you come to terms with it, it's hard not to enjoy it.

Of course, AHS is just on a different plane of deranged.

[Ogni-XR21]

I'm well aware of the cheese but it takes some getting used to for me, everytime. Hell I would probably have given up on this show after the first episode if it wasn't for Alan Ball being involved.

I've tried to get several friends to watch the show but noone ever got into it, and honestly I can't blame them.

[M.D]

Jessica is the perfect woman. I want to marry her.

[MrHicks]

russel is back yay
hopefully plotting revenge for his lover

[Arment]

Jessica is the perfect woman. I want to marry her.

I want to have pale red headed babies with her.

[Cornballer]

Was that a new trailer tonight before Game of Thrones? I didn't get a good look at it. Doesn't look like anything new is up on their youtube account right now.

I call dibs on Eric.

[MWS Natural]

Looking forward to this season! Subscribed.

[Santiako]

This is my summer guilty pleasure, I just hope they kill Tara soon.

6 Days left!

A couple new, quick vids on the HBO youtube channel:

5 Days! Someone hold me!

[purple cobra]

I wonder who the wolf was threatening Sam at the end of last season...

[Funky Papa]

That's some derpy looking pup.

[RatskyWatsky]

I wonder who the wolf was threatening Sam at the end of last season...

Someone involved with his parents or something? Or perhaps the wolf doesn't know him, and just came across him by chance...

[RatskyWatsky]

4 Dayss! OMG.

Also, this raises an interesting question that I hadn't really thought of: Who dug up Russel? As far as we know, only Bill and Eric knew his location and Alexander Skarsgård said that it wasn't Eric, sooo who else could it have been? I don't think Bill would have done it. Maybe it was a new character?

[shanshan310]

Its sunday night right?

[RatskyWatsky]

Its sunday night right?

Yes!

[Cornballer]

Just finished watching the S4 finale because HBO was rerunning it. Lots that I forgot about last season.

Just finished watching the S4 finale because HBO was rerunning it. Lots that I forgot about last season.

I forgot a good 60% of what happened. I had to read a big summary of all that went down. I totally forgot how they botched Tommy's arc. It made no sense. He goes to the werewolf dudes pretending to be Sam, and...? Then he's beaten to death. I don't think he ever had any sort of motivation for shifting into Sam and going to Marcus's place. It seemed so random.

[shanshan310]

Yes!

eeee! I can't wait ><


I found a recap of the last season. Looking forward to more Eric-Bill and Sam-Alcide badassery.

[saunderez]

? Then he's beaten to death. I don't think he ever had any sort of motivation for shifting into Sam and going to Marcus's place. It seemed so random.

He accidentally shifted into Sam the first time it happened. I can't remember why he went to Marcus's though.

[RatskyWatsky]

I know. But when he went to Marcus's place, he had already shifted into Sam several times. (remember how he seduced Luna?)

[Nameless]

Here's to hoping Tara actually gets put out of her misery!

OP is missing the actor that makes this season particularly exciting:



I'm really looking forward to seeing Meloni join in on the trashy fun.

Also more Jessica. Yum.

[shanshan310]

;3

lol!

I dunno. I really hated her all through seasons 2 - 4, and then after she got uninvolved with the witches she went back to being cool again. For like one episode -_-'' I'd like to at least see how she deals with vampirism, if that is the path they take her down. She just sucks when she is A. Screaming or B. Hating on vamps. Turning her into one would remove both those issues, I hope.

[Ceebs]

Hoping for even more Sookie sex scenes this season.

[shanshan310]

Hoping for even more Eric sex scenes this season.

Fixed :p

At least her actions throughout the series have made complete and total sense. The same can't be said for many of the other characters.

Hoping for even more Sookie sex scenes this season.

Her entire arc in season 4 was just a long sex scene with Eric. I hope she's given something else to do.

[Ogni-XR21]

As she will probably hook up with Alcide this season I think you should be fine...

[ascii42]

That was from the first time he turned into Sam.

I was not complaining. I do miss Jason's early series night time exploits though.

All I really want out of this show is to keep the camp levels so high I continue to laugh hysterically at the absurdity.

EW.com has a gallery of covers up for the new issue.

Part of the article from this week's issue.

“My first instinct about going into religion and politics was from watching Michele Bachmann, who thinks she has a direct line to God.” Ball told EW. “What would happen if she became president? A lot of right-wingers would like to see a theocracy in America. From there we thought, ‘What would a vampire theocracy be and how would you justify it? What kind of impact would it have on humans?’” The result is a battle between the Tru Blood-sipping Authority, headed by Roman Zimojic (Christopher Meloni), and religious extremists like the Sanguinistas, who believe humans were created by God for one purpose only: to serve as a hearty meal. “Sanguine is from the Latin word for blood, and I was trying to find a name that like a real movement,” explains Ball.

[CrankyJay]

Looking forward to a complete season without Tommy. What an awful character, but watching Sam's actor limp and talk like him was hilarious to me.

Glad to be rid of Tommy as well.

[Stat Flow]

Season 4 was an abomination. Hoping Season 5 is any good.

[RatskyWatsky]

Only 3 days left!

HuffPost has an interview with Carrie Preston (Arlene), which I thought was fairly interesting. You can read it here.

That was from the first time he turned into Sam.

I'm talking about the time when Tommy shifts into Sam and visits Marcus's garage. They beat him within an inch of his life but he's rescued by Alcide. Alcide takes him to Merlotte's and he dies in Sam's arms. This is the last time he shifts into Sam, but not the first. (He does once by accident, once to fire Sookie, and once to have sex with Luna.)

[Shabadoo69]

I love Jessica!! Are we finally going to get to see her boobs this season?? I sure as shit hope so!!

[3N16MA]

eeee! I can't wait >< I found a recap of the last season. Looking forward to more Eric-Bill and Sam-Alcide badassery.

It was already in the OP ;)

[KibblesBits]

HBO is offering its Free Weekend service starting the 8th of this month. If you haven't signed up for HBO its free! (Check your providers...)

Seems like the actress ain't too keen on getting nekkid. :/ We can dream though, right?

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Agreed

[3N16MA]

I was actually thinking of doing a piece where it would be the cast members that make up the authority during this season. I basically forgot to do it.

I figured you just chose not to include new cast members because of spoilers. You know, same reason we don't talk openly about the previews.

[3N16MA]

Well certain members have been shown in the trailers which I really wouldn't call spoilers. Episode descriptions I would call spoilers because they reveal what is going to happen in perhaps greater detail than scenes pieced together (which are often nothing like the actual episode).

[Net_Wrecker]

I don't know why, but I'm still watching.
