True Blood Season 3 Preview...

True Blood Season 3 starts on Sunday night...can't remember where we left off...well here's a reminder...

Bon Temps reaches a fever pitch as Maryann prepares for her ultimate bestial sacrifice, conscripting Sookie to be maid of honor at the bloody nuptials. Deliberating on what may be his final move to save Sookie and the town, Sam places his trust, and his life, in a most unlikely ally. Jason leads Andy into the heroic abyss. Hoyt struggles with Maxine's endless stream of insults. Sophie-Anne warns Eric to keep the lid on Bill's inquisitiveness.   Bill and Sookie finally get a chance to have a nice dinner togeher and while Sookie is in the washroom it appears that Bill has been kidnapped.

I personally loved the first season of this series and was pumped for what they were bringing in season two...but I was very let down, the plot they had seemed like it could have been done in 6 episodes instead of the 12 that aired...there was a chunk in the middle that just seemed to be repeating over and over for a few weeks there...but...

What can we expect in Season 3?  Here's what HBO.com is saying:

The Maenadian reign of terror may be over, but Sookie Stackhouse and the townspeople of Bon Temps face a new calamity – ushered in by a pack of vicious, blood-sucking werewolves – that makes the bacchanalian evils of Maryanne Forrester seem tame by comparison. Welcome to the third season of the smash-hit HBO series True Blood!

True Blood is the sexy, scary, wildly entertaining drama series from Oscar® and Emmy®-winning Alan Ball (HBO’s Six Feet Under), and based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, True Blood tells the ongoing tale of Sookie (Anna Paquin, Golden Globe-winner for this role), a waitress with telepathic gifts -– and an irresistible attraction to now-174-year-old vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), who went missing in the Season 2 finale.

With the assistance (and often hindrance) of locals –- including her newly inspired brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten), shape-shifting boss Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), in-mourning pal Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley), Tara’s vamp-linked cousin Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis), on-the-wagon detective Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer), vampire sheriff Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) and teen vamp Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) –- Sookie desperately tries to locate her fiancé as Season 3 opens, ending up in a netherworld of human and undead interlopers, among them the Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) and his followers: a pack of vicious werewolves who feed on vampire blood.

I'm not sure if any of you saw the excellent promo photos that HBO has been doing for True Blood but here you go, they are pretty fantastical...so far 11 of 12 have been released so far...I'll post up the 12th when it comes out...

And finally for those that like that kinda thing, Spoilers, scroll on down if you want to read them:



































The upcoming season's third episode will contain one of the most twisted sex scenes in television history. Three major characters will be shot in the forehead early in the season, but there is a catch.

Zeljko Ivanek returns as the Magister, and he's cracking down on the illegal V trade in Louisiana. This is a problem for the Queen, since she's tacitly allowing it, and for Eric and Pam, since they're running it.

Sookie will turn to Eric for help in finding Bill. Russell Edginton concocts a plan to consolidate his powers. Bill will make a surprising pledge of allegiance.

Tara will have a vampire love interest to be played by James Frain. He's tall, extremely dark, and handsome.

Any chance Gran might be back? "There's a chance," executive producer Alan Ball told EW.com's Tim Stack. "I don't think she's gonna come back and go like, 'Oh, you know what? I'm not dead!' But she certainly can appear in flashbacks or in visions, or perhaps there's a different reality that someone might go into." Hmmm ... a different reality ...

Someone will have a surprise as a result of the group social activities that occured last season.

More Lafayette this season.

Shocking Plots:



The Bombshell Secret

Ever since Queen Sophie-Anne graced the second season of True Blood, Bill and Sookie fans have been haunted with a theory from the Charlaine Harris books that would certainly destroy their favorite vampire-human couple: that Bill is working for the Queen and he came to Bon Temps to seduce Sookie with ulterior motives. It's certainly an issue that would divide True Blood fans as this will push Sookie right into the arms of Eric, and while series creator Alan Ball hasn't really followed the novels to the letter, he isn't completely shutting out the idea either.

"It's certainly something that I found really compelling in the books," Ball told Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello 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."

"I try to stay out of how the fans are responding to the show," he added. "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."

Sookie and Eric, will they or won't they?

Season 2 left fans with a cliffhanger that saw Bill being abducted just before Sookie was supposed to accept his marriage proposal. Now that Bill is seemingly and temporarily out of the picture, we are now left wondering if Eric and Sookie will finally get together in season 3. But Ball tells TV Squad, "I can't tell you if they're going to get together, because that's going to ruin the anticipation. But, if you've been following season two, he's definitely been doing things to make her more vulnerable and more susceptible to him. And he does want her, he's just not sure why. I think it's deeper than just, 'I want her because Bill Compton has her.' Although that's part of it, because Eric is a total alpha-dog."
