I don't know...we just started season 3. The maenad stuff from season 2 overstayed its welcome.

I really liked last season, so my vote is yes. :)

Well, I like True Blood for it's camp and whatnot, I never felt it was very good. I watched the last season but I couldn't tell you what happened, haha.
- Derrick
Ima give Season 3 a try . . . thanks, everyone :)
- Brent Schaus
I enjoy it. I think they do a good job of keeping it interesting, even if it's not the best plotted or best acted or most logical show around. It's certainly one of the most stylish and entertaining.

JETLAG FTW! i've fallen so far behind on TrueBlood S3 (think E3 was the last one i saw) I decided to just start from the beginning. Since i'll be up all night I may as well be properly entertained!
"Apparently sheer exhaustion has caused Alan Ball to take a break from all of those naughty vampires and werewolves in Bon Temps. According to Forbes, Ball isn't leaving but will step down from running the writing staff. Which, if you saw last season, is probably for the best. Ball will remain as executive producer."

I might actually watch again - I just couldn't stomach the last season at all, and bailed halfway through.

True Blood needs some fresh blood, so this is good.

No. My favorite Southern vampire is Jasper Cullen from Twilight & fave werewolf is Jacob, the one with the abs. (his actual name escapes me)
- sofarsoShawn
Hahaha shawn, 'the one with the abs'...aren't all werewolves required to have them these days?!
- joey
I'll go with Damon from the Vampire Diaries and Nina from Being Human UK. They are both from south of something.
- Michael W. May
:) Abs? No, not necessarily. Remus Lupin (from HP B III) my next favorite werewolf is fairly "unassuming", closing in on middle age.
- sofarsoShawn
Ah, that's true. He's pretty badass, too. But I bet if he was created for television or teenagers first, he'd have abs.
- joey
You think, but he's old? Although admittedly when only reading Azkaban I'd imagined him differently & had a huge crush on Lupin. His film version was a let down.

"The first ever footage from this summer's all-new True Blood has been released in a new trailer and clip. And it looks like everybody is getting naked, crankin' jokes. And wait until you see what Hoyt and Jessica are doing. So in that new trailer we saw naked Sookie, naked Eric, a naked Jason, and a naked sweaty and scream panting Alcide... yep it's True Blood time! We also picked out a bit of witchery, along with more Jason werekitty moments. But more importantly, HBO has also released an entire Jessica and Hoyt clip. Naturally, Hoyt is running around all over town, saying things like "this woman" and threatening to beat up mobs of humans who have shown up to protest at Fangtasia because of the infamous Russell Edgington newscast. Surely it will get much worse than that — but in the meantime enjoy this totally gratuitous hero boyfriend porn (click below to watch)."

"Which HBO pilot has more ridiculous nudity: True Blood or Game of Thrones? We did the math. We counted up the nip-slips and ass shots, and compared the Dothraki's naked dances to True Blood's vampire sex tapes. Guess who won? NSFW clip breakdown below. One thing that stuck out to us after viewing the Game Of Thrones pilot was the rampant raunchiness. Sure, there's nudity, sex and naked wedding dances in the book, but does the book pan the camera down so we can get an extra shot of Daenerys Targaryen's behind? Nope. Still, we were sure that GOT couldn't be as salacious as Alan Ball's vampire orgy, True Blood. Or could it? The results will shock you."

"The premiere date for Season 4 of TRUE BLOOD has been announced and you will be happy to know that Sookie, Bill, Eric and co. will be back on our screens starting Sunday June 26 at 9pm. This new season of True Blood will once again comprise 12 episodes."

"The powers-that-be behind HBO’s “True Blood” are certainly packing a whole lot of punch, or shall we say bite, into season four. From a peak into the fairyland to the introduction of the witches, from the Sookie-Bill-Eric love saga to Arlene’s psycho baby and more, it’s a head-spinning season and it hasn’t even kicked off yet. The first episode back this summer features Gary Cole (”Office Space,” “Entourage,”) and Fiona Shaw (Aunt Petunia in the “Harry Potter” films) as head witch, and series regular. ” The witches go around wreaking havoc,” reveals Kristin Bauer (Pam De Beaufort)."

"Bill’s Revenge: Bill vowed to kill everyone who knows that Sookie is a fairy, so does he? “Well you know at the end of season three she disappears into a warm fuzzy light, so, we don’t’ even know whether she’s back yet, but if anybody does find out I’ll kill ‘em,” says Stephen Moyer (Bill). "

""You are definitely going to see a different realm that humans don't exist in that fairies do. We'll also maybe see through the illusion, maybe they're not quite as benign as one might think."

"Ball also told us that our fave vamps need to keep a watchful eye out for witches, because they're joining the show this year, and they're gonna be trouble. Ball says, "I don't think it's a rule that vampires and witches that don't get along, but there are certain witches who are really dabbling in dark, dark magic, necromancy—powers over the dead. So vampires aren't going to like that." Last but not least, it sounds like poor Rutina Wesley is going to have a little more fun this year. Ball tells us, "It's a new Tara [this season]. It's a less victim-y Tara. Tara has healed her wounds a little bit.""

"The upcoming season of "True Blood" will borrow at least some of its key plot points from "Dead to the World," the fourth novel in mystery writer Charlaine Harris' long-running series about telepathic cocktail waitress/fairy Sookie Stackhouse and the supernatural creatures vying for her affection in Bon Temps, La. But Alan Ball, the creator of the hit HBO series adapted from Harris' fiction, wasn't too generous with the gory details at the Paley Center for Media's PaleyFest's tribute to the hit show this weekend at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, especially when it came to questions about just how a potential romance between Anna Paquin's Sookie and Alexander Skarsgard's vampire Eric Northman might play out. Still, the wildly devoted fans assembled for the event didn't seem to mind. The clip Ball showed from the season premiere, which is set for June, and the presence of 16 of the series' cast members -- including Paquin and her off-screen husband Stephen Moyer, in addition to Skarsgard -- were more than sufficient to generate deafening applause."

" While Ball declined to say if it would happen Season 4, he did confirm that Denis O'Hare would return as vampire king Russell Edgington. "We specifically made the choice not to kill him," Ball said. (The same can't be said, it seems, for Evan Rachel Wood's Queen Sophie-Anne, whose absence from the panel was noted.) Ball also confirmed that Gary Cole and Fiona Shaw will guest star, and...

"Saturday’s raucous PaleyFest 2011 panel celebrated True Blood, creator Alan Ball’s sexy Southern Gothic series based on the novels by Charlaine Harris. The show, which returns to HBO in June for a fourth season, follows the adventures of waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), her vampire soulmate Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and the human and supernatural inhabitants of Bon Temps, Louisiana. Debra Birnbaum, editor-in-chief of TV Guide, opened the panel by bringing out Ball (Six Feet Under), who introduced a compilation reel and an exclusive new scene from Season 4. The preview featured newly minted vampire Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), her human boyfriend Hoyt (Jim Parrack) and the acerbic Pam (Kristen Bauer van Straten) all squaring off against a mob of angry vamp-hating humans."

"When Birnbaum pressed him to reveal whether his new romance was with one of the actors on-stage, Trammell looked to Ball and asked, “Can I say maybe?” Ball assented that perhaps Sam’s new love was on-stage, but then quickly added that the general rule for True Blood characters is, “They can only be happy for one episode.” Rutina Wesley, who plays the tough but vulnerable Tara, had a...

The audience was eager to know whether Sookie would be getting closer to either Eric or...

"You already know that True Blood‘s upcoming fourth season will feature witches, werewolves and more Nan Flannigan. But here’s what I’m fairly certain you don’t know: It’ll also mark the return of vampire legend Godric! TVLine has exclusively learned that Allan Hyde will reprise his role as Eric’s late, forever young-looking maker when the HBO drama resumes this summer. The duration and exact timing of his stint are unknown. It’s also unclear what form the onetime vampire sheriff of Area 9 will take given that he succumbed to the worst sunburn in history during season 2. (He returned briefly from the great beyond in the season 3 finale to deliver a message to Eric.) Blood EP Alan Ball isn’t offering too many clues, except to say that fans will see “a different side of Godric.”"

Sam's [also] got a new love interest that's going to happen this year for him. I don't have really good luck with the ladies, they usually die—so hopefully she'll survive."

"“Dead Reckoning,” the 12th installment in author Charlaine Harris‘ Sookie Stackhouse mystery series, is set to arrive this May — not long before the hit TV series inspired by the franchise, HBO’s “True Blood,” returns for a fourth season — but the novelist now is looking ahead to the conclusion of her long-running saga. “Truthfully, the next two books will probably be the last two books in the series,” Harris said last week. “I still love Sookie, but I’m beginning to want to write something else, and Sookie’s kind of taken over my life. I was able to write other things for the first few years I was involved in Sookie, but then after the start of the television show she took over so much of my time because of my increased publicity obligations that it’s been very hard to write other things, and I really need to do that.”"
