Was this actually mentioned though? There was no reference to it being her's if my memory recalls?

This is true. All we know as fact is that she is the one having him sell it.

What she states is, "For instance, how does [bill] know I'm having you sell vampire blood." But she does not specifically state which vampire's blood is being sold.

I think they did when The Queen pounced on Eric. He said "I won't let Bill know that you are the one asking me to sell Vampire blood", and she responded, "You better not." Just tagged it just in case.

I think it was something along those lines.

The return of iCarly (I believe its 3rds season opener) averaged 7.56 million A Scooby Doo: Mystery Begins movie helped push TOON into the top 10 shows with 6.11 million average viewers. An airing of The O?Reilly Factor on the heels of last week?s presidential address led it and its 5.129 million viewjust ahead of the season finale for True Blood on HBO with its 5.114 million.

As a whole I'd give season 2 a thumbs up. I'd say the last good episode of the season was when Godrick burned him self up on the roof. Episode 11 was HORRIBLE, 12 was a little better. So 2 bad episodes out of 12 still makes for for a very enjoyable experience.

Maybe I'm the minority here, but that finale was painfully slow and rather dull. Two thumbs down for this season. The first season was great, but this season dragged on and I didn't care about any of the characters anymore. They were all trash in my eye and I couldn't get into them whatsoever. (N)

I agree. Up until the end of the Dallas storyline was great, but once they all came back into town, it devolved into just being ****ing goofy.

So I got my order of Tru Blood in today. Let them get cold and just started drinking my first one. Simply put, it most definitely is not worth $4 a bottle. Good, but it isn't that good. And it doesn't look like blood in the least bit. In fact, it cherry soda that I get at Wal-Mart looks redder than what this does.

I'll poor some into a glass later on and post a pic, but no one would ever mistake this for blood. I thought I had read that they were going to die this a deep red to make it look realistic? If that's true, whomever did the dying should be fired, he sucks.

In what would be a boon to Sookie-Eric fans, True Blood boss Alan Ball isn?t ruling out incorporating a major (and controversial) plot point from the books that, up to now, has only been hinted at in the series (spoiler alert): That Bill came to Bon Temps and seduced Sookie with the ulterior motive of getting her to work for Queen Sophie-Anne.

?It?s certainly something that I found really compelling in the books,? says Ball of Bill?s deep dark secret. ?I was like, ?Wow.? But I can?t really tell you what I?m going to do story-wise. So much of the appeal of the show depends on the element of surprise.?

Bill-Sookie shippers are no doubt hoping Ball opts not to go there. In addition to driving a stake through the heart of their favorite couple, it could push Sookie into the arms of Eric.

?I try to stay out of how the fans are responding to the show,? says Ball. ?I have to tell the story that I think is the most interesting story. Certainly, the main ingredient in drama is conflict and revelations. For every person who loves Bill and wants him and Sookie to just be in love always, there?s another person who?s like, ?I?m sick of Bill. He?s such a wuss. I like Eric. He?s dangerous.? Especially when you?re working on a show like this with the kind of palette and the colors you use; you want it to be continually surprising and shocking. Not for the sake of being shocking, but that?s part of the fun.?

Whew... finally done with both seasons (in a week). As campy as it is im now sad that next summer is so far away.

And as far as Taras mother goes. Well, last thing we saw was her getting bonked in the head. And good thing so, as she was one of the most boring, close to annoying characters in Blood.

'Lost' star eager for 'True Blood' cameo

Lost star Michael Emerson has admitted that he would love to land a guest role on True Blood.

The actor, who plays Ben Linus in the ABC drama, told Extra that he would jump at the chance to star opposite wife Carrie Preston (Arlene Fowler) in the vampire series.

Preston previously made a cameo appearance in Lost playing Emerson's mother in a flashback scene.

"I think it would be fun if I got to play her father," he joked.

"I would go on any Alan Ball show to do just about anything. I will be the face in the window, I will be the cab driver... I don't want to be a vampire."

Preston added: "I think you should be a shape-shifter or something... Maybe [you] should not be a bad character at all... maybe you should be a good guy."

Emerson picked up the outstanding supporting actor in a drama series prize at this year's Emmy Awards.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required.

Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet.
