True Blood

[Konstanov]

Rene has a cajun accent which is distinct of the region in which they live, and in the books he is the killer.

Who the hell is that lady? I can't wait for the finale and Season 2!

Who the hell is that lady? I can't wait for the finale and Season 2!

She's one of these...

In Greek mythology, Maenads (Greek: Μαινάδες) were the inspired and frenzied female worshippers of Dionysus, the Greek god of mystery, wine, and intoxication, the Roman god Bacchus. Their name literally translates as "raving ones". They were known as wild, insane women who could not be reasoned with. The mysteries of Dionysus inspired the women to ecstatic frenzy; they indulged in copious amounts of violence, bloodletting, sexual activity, self-intoxication, and mutilation. They were usually pictured as crowned with vine leaves, clothed in fawnskins and carrying the thyrsus, and dancing with wild abandon.

[Jack 0Neill]

Best final? ever.

[Stinky Newb]

At first i disliked how this season ended, but i believe its going to make you think for awhile. How could you not wait for Season 2 after this finale?

[xpgeek]

Eh. I've really liked this show, but the last two episodes or so just seem to have rushed through stuff to get it done, and the finale just felt like a mess at times.

[Rappy Veteran]

I see it went with the story from the book!, but still it was very awesome!

[Jack 0Neill]

For fans of this series Season 1 will be released 2009-05-12 according to the HBO store.

2.01 "Nothing but the Blood" Casting Call

[sARAH NEWLIN]

Late 20s - bright, pretty, cheerful wife of Fellowship of the Sun head Minister Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian), Sarah is an example of the new "hip" evangelical movement, hates vampires with a passion, deeply believes in her mission, her marriage, her country and her church. very feminine, but down-to-earth, also with a healthy appetite for life's many pleasures... as she sees it, it's all part of God's gift to us. No actual nudity, but implied..sptv050769.SERIES REGULAR 7/13

[DAPHNE]

Late 20s / early 30s - Daphne is sexy and down to earth, a real country girl, not the greatest waitress, but Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) couldn't care less, once he gets to know her better. Common sense, no-nonsense, funny, definitely not neurotic. Nudity is preferable in this role...6 episode arc beginning with this episode.

[LUKE]

A BIG HANDSOME, BEAR OF A GUY, around 25ish. All the energy Jason (Ryan Kwanten) has spent in his life getting girls, Luke has spent in the service of God. And growing. And being insanely competitive. Southern, Texan. no nudity required, although the guys at the church camp do spend time in their underwear...6 episode arc beginning with episode 202.

[gregb0b]

I hate Tara, why was this original one replaced with the manly one?

[Rappy Veteran]

They thought the new one was better which I don't agree with :p

[nothuman]

Best new show of the season, for me. Love the atmosphere, love the characters, love the story so far.

Can't wait for season 2.

[Konstanov]

The old one was hotter.

[Huleboeren]

Best new show of the season, for me. Love the atmosphere, love the characters, love the story so far.

Can't wait for season 2.

Hear hear!!

Question: Thanks for telling us that True Blood started shooting its second season last week, but could you tell me when the episodes will start airing? -- Katie

Ausiello: This summer, which means season 2 will air roughly eight months after the conclusion of season 1 -- a lightning fast turnaround by cable standards. "Alan Ball is a very fast writer," explains an HBO source. In other True Blood news, I caught up with Sam Trammell (Sam) at the Globes and he teased that his new love interest (played by The Bold and The Beautiful's Ashley Jones) is up to no good. "I don't know the whole storyline, but I've read the first three episodes, and it's going to be really twisted and dark and exciting. She's got some serious secrets and questionable intentions."

[Lezard]

I love Jessica on True Blood, wish she could suck my blood and do naugthy things to me XD

[*RedBull*]

I think TrueBlood was weak in the first three episodes, and went off track a bit 4 thru 7, but began bringing it together during the 8 thru 12. It had my interest from episode one, and kept me interested to 12. I hope to see season two, glad to hear they are filming it. It is a rather good show.

I noticed how Sookie's character changed after her mother's death. I was getting turned off by the way she was rejecting Bill with all the lead up to them. I think Bill will have to put down that new girl vamp to protect Sookie or have to turn Sookie to keep them together. Probably the former is more likely than the latter.

The vampires of True Blood are also coming to high-def, with Warner announcing a May 12th Blu-ray debut for the complete first season of the hit HBO series, reports High Def Digest. A critical and ratings winner for the cable network, the Alan Ball-created vampire series will make its Blu-ray debut on May 19 (day-and-date with the standard DVD) via the Warner/HBO Home Video label. True Blood: The Complete First Season will present all 12 first season episodes spread across five BD-50 dual-layer discs. Specs will see 1080p/VC-1 video and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround audio.

Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin, Academy Award?-winner for "The Piano") works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others.

E!Online is reporting that the suspense is building as to what fans can expect to see for Season 2 on Alan Ball?s successful HBO TV series ?True Blood?.

Questions are surrounding whether there is going to be a love triangle between Bill, Sookie and Eric?

With the introduction of Jessica as Bill?s newly made vampire ?child? how will Sookie deal with the news?

Questions about Tara and Sam are on people?s minds as well. Are they going to hook up or are they going to go their separate ways?

At the end of Season 1 we were left off with a cliffhanger: is Lafayetter dead or not?

Well the cast of ?True Blood? are only going to give the fans only little tidbits. Stephen Moyer, who plays Sookie?s (Anna Paquin) vampire love interest states:

?I couldn?t possibly say. I honestly don?t know, but I think that there will be all the conflict that there needs to be to make it a great frisson.? What about that other third party, Bill?s baby-vamp Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll)? Moyer teases, ?She is nuts?and fantastic.?

Nelsan Ellis says that he is not saying anything except, ?They have to wait and see.? Nelsan does state that he is ready for some more ?True Blood? and that he is just as invested as the fans into knowing if Lafayette lives or dies. Nelsan states:

?Absolutely, yeah, I?ll come back. I?ll take the paycheck.? ?I love the fact that people are invested in this story. I like Lafayette, and I like that people like him.?

Rutina Wesley states that although Michelle Forbes? character, the maenad seems sneaky and suspicious she is not all that bad because she saved Tara?s live.

In regards to Tara?s love life she says that Tara and Sam have a complicated relationship and that even though Sam still has a thing for Sookie, she still has some feelings for him. We will just have to wait and see.

True Blood returns to HBO in June or July for Season 2.?
