The fifth season of HBO’s True Blood starts in less than a month. Last season ended with Bill and Eric delivering the true death to Nan Flanagan, big bad Russell Edgington breaking out of his cement prison, Tara supposedly dying (unfortunately, she’ll be back), etc. New season starts June 5, but it’s on a short [...]
True Blood
HBO has released a couple of trailers over the weekend. The first is for Game of Thrones season two. It’s the best look yet at the upcoming season. The second trailer is a teaser for the fifth season of True Blood, which is on a short leash for me. I’ve begun to grow tired of [...]
The fairy business is kind of lame, but this show could do just about anything and I’d still give it a pass. Because it’s that ridiculous and entertaining.
There’s not much in this brief clip promoting the return of HBO’s deliciously saucy vampire show True Blood, excpet it looks like the are using the amnesia plotline for Eric from the books. TV Line’s Megan Masters was on-hand at the Paley Fest and has some decent scoops about what this season could entail. I [...]

Whoa! Werewolves are invading our little Louisana vamp nest. Curious to see where this season ends up going, given the batshit insanity of last season with Maryanne and the Mynads.

This pretty terrific ad for True Blood was spotted in Auckland, New Zealand. I now have three reasons to thank True Blood for existing: 1. This ad. 2. Naked Anna Paquin 3. It’s a decent enough show in a world of mostly unoriginal television. I understand for lawsuit purposes the stakes have to be screwed [...]
I finally got a chance to see HBO’s new vampire series True Blood, based upon the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.? Leading up to the series I was worried about the marketing of the series and curious how this thing would play out. After only one episode it’s tough to determine how I feel [...]
Okay we get it. Vampires are a stand in for oppressed minority groups. Ugh. Usually this sort of thing isn’t so bad, except when they insult our intelligence to read the subtext. With this new trailer, we get an idea of what the series is going to be about. It’s clear that this series is [...]
It worries me slightly that HBO is going to such great lengths to promote or viralize the upcoming Alan Ball vampire show True Blood . It also worries me that they aren’t doing a very good job of it, or that it takes so many variables, like fake commercials, fake websites, comic books, et cetera [...]
