George in Michigan: What’s the deal with Sam’s little brother on True Blood?
What, you mean little ol’ Tommy? He’s harmless—in the sociopath, crazy-person sorta way! Marshall Allman, aka Sam’s little bro Tommy, is in it for the long haul this season, and a source tells us he intends on “bringing Bon Temps to its knees.” Sounds fun, right? “I go in and have a lot of fun,” Marshall tells us. “There’s not an impulse that I don’t act on. I’m tons of fun. And then I’ll take your wallet, [and] I’ll also steal your girl.” Yes, we’re hearing some girl-stealing is afoot. Any guesses as to which lovely lady Tommy might have on his arm? Hands off Sookie, L.J., or we’ll tell your Dad! (A little old-timey Prison Break humor brought to you by Wentworth’s abs.)

Julie in Toronto: True Blood, please.
Marshall tells us he’ll be around well into the “shocking” season finale, and that even though he’ll do some pwetty tewibble things to Bon Temps during his stay (yep, he’s moving in!), don’t judge too quickly. “People will see that I have a heart, but they’re just going to be frustrated that I’m not being who I was meant to be,” he says, “I suffered a lot of dysfunction, and I just need a lot of love.” Sources have also revealed that Tommy might be working to Sam at Merlotte’s soon enough, so watch out for that, ’cause that seems to be where all truly terrible people end up at one time or another. (Note: Hands off Arlene, too, buddy. She’s with child.)

Marybeth in Laurel, Md.: Anything good coming up for Tara on True Blood?
That depends on your definition of good. Rutina Wesley tells us our ever-troubled bartender “is gonna struggle with this vampire lover named Franklin Mott. He’s very psychological and very hard. So this relationship is not necessarily by choice.” Probably not your definition of good, huh? One thing you don’t have to worry about? Tara becoming a vamp herself. “Probably not,” she says. “I love being human. It’s like I’m one of the only humans on the show!”

• The vampire in the 'French Tru Blood Commercial' is actor (Nevin Millan)

• The part of Tara Thornton was originally given to Brook Kerr. Rutina Wesley replaced her after two episodes were filmed. All of Kerr's scenes were re-shot.

• The first season is based mostly on the first book of Charlaine Harris' book 'Dead Until Dark'.

• This is not the first time that actor Stephen Moyer (I) has played a vampire. He also was a vampire in the British 6-part TV series, "Ultraviolet" (1998).

• Anna Paquin and Lynn Collins (I) are co-stars in the show. Both have co-starred with Hugh Jackman in "X-Men" movies but even then they didn't share any screen place working in them. Paquin starred in X-Men (2000), X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) whereas Collins starred in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). Jackman's character had a special connection with both of them.: He acted as a friend, philosopher and guide to Anna's character (she also had a slight crush on him for a while); Lynn played his love interest in her X-Men movie.

• Each episode title is also the title of a song from popular or Christian music.

• The name of the fictional northern Louisiana town, Bon Temps, means "good time" in French.

• Alexander Skarsgård, who plays Eric, is from Sweden and the language spoken by him and his subjects is Swedish.

• "True Blood" takes its name from the brand of synthetic blood that the Japanese have patented in Harris' novels. Vampires can actually drink it, thereby bypassing their need for human blood.

• When Sookie arrives home and is telling her grandmother about her evening, her grandmother is reading "Last Scene Alive" by Charlaine Harris, who wrote the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

• The movie that Jason have watched for a short moment was Dracula (1958)

• Shot after episode 6.

• Co-stars Lizzy Caplan (Amy Burley) and Stacie Rippy (Cindy Marshall) are also co-stars on "The Class" (2006) {The Class Gets Frozen Yogurt (#1.5)}, where Lizzy Caplan plays as Kat Warbler, the sardonic character of The Class; and Stacie Rippy plays the annoyed Counter Clerk in the Yoghurt store.

• Jason wears a baseball cap with a panther, or cougar on it. In the later books that true blood is based on, Jason becomes a bitten werepanther.

• The hotel that Ben and Sookie check into in Dallas is called the Hotel Carmilla. The name Carmilla originates from the 1872 vampire classic "Carmilla" by _Sheridan Le Fanu_. In more recent years, Carmilla was also the name of the main vampire villain in Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000).

• The hotel that Bill and Sookie check into in Dallas is called Carmilla. Carmilla, by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, is the title of one of the first vampire novels, published in 1872. It is the basis for numerous films, including Vampyr - Der Traum des Allan Grey (1932), Et mourir de plaisir (1960), La cripta e l'incubo (1964), Carmilla (1999) and Carmilla (2011).

• The title "Never Let me Go" is taken from the 1955 Johnny Ace (II) hit song of the same name. The song can be heard in the final moments and closing credits, although it is not the original version.

• The game that Maxine Fortenberry is playing on the Wii appears to be an early version of Dead Space Extraction, a game slated for release in September '09.

• Jason mentions that he read about these events in a book and then states that "this is the oral history of the zombie war." He is most likely referring to World War Z, by Max Brooks (I).

• The tee shirt Terry Bellefleur wears in Merlotte's near the end of the show says: "WARNING: Beaucoup Dien Cai Dau: I suffer from occasional loss of mental stability and become very violent with only slight provocation. The Veterans Administration has determined that both mental and physical harassment of my person may be hazardous to your health and well being. So stay the hell out of my face. Thank you." Pronounced "boo-coo din-key-dow", "Beaucoup" is French for "very much", and "Dien Cai Dau" is a Vietnamese saying that is the equivalent of "crazy as a kicking rooster", much like the American expression "mad as a wet hen". It is common jargon adopted by the US soldiers during the Vietnam War, and is still used to some extent by some in the armed forces to this day, just like "Gung-ho" became common USMC jargon after WWII. So it is likely Terry Bellefleur became familiar with the phrase as an Iraqi War veteran with self-acknowledged PTSD.

HBO’s True Blood ratings for Season 3 premiere couldn’t be more promising: the 9 p.m. showing attracted 5.1 million viewers, a 38 percent increase from the season two premiere.

The 11 p.m. repeat of “True Blood” attracted an additional 1.3 million viewers. So the premiere had 6.4 million fans in all — pretty good for the premium cable channel on a busy night (NBA Finals, Tonys, etc.).

Last season, the vampire drama averaged 4.3 million viewers. So things are looking up for Sookie, vampire Bill and vampire Eric.

• CONT: Forty minutes into the action, Sookie is at her grandmother's kitchen table, talking about her feelings towards Bill. She has long bangs and her dark roots are showing. Her Grannie mentions her "ability" and when the camera goes back to Sookie, she has shorter bangs, platinum blond hair and a softer makeup. Even the lighting looks all different from the previous framing. This look stays until she goes to Bill's house, peers into his window and then turns back: then, her black roots and longer bangs appear again.


• FAKE: When Sookie finds Dawn dead her neck is pulsing.


• SYNC: When Jason sits down to watch TV after returning home from fighting with his girlfriend he turns on his flat panel television. The TV clearly makes a sound when turned on and off as if it was an old tube TV whereas flat panel televisions do not make that sound when turned on/off.


• CHAR: The "Young Jason" has blue eyes while the the adult Jason has brown eyes. However, the scene is when Tara flashes back to when she was a child running away from her mother and seeking sanctuary with Sookie and her grandmother so it is possible that this is an indication of how Tara remembers the scene rather than being presented as an accurate version of what Jason was like.


• CONT: While Sookie is eating Adele's pie, the amount of pie she picks up with her fork does not match the amount on her fork from other angles.


• CONT: When Sookie finds William's grave, the amount and placement of the dirt over the plaque changes between shots without her having made any movements that would alter its position.


• FAIR: On two occasions Bill enters Sookie's home without being invited inside. The first is when she has found her grandmother on the floor and he appears in the kitchen behind her. The second is when he rushes in, startling Tara and Laffayette downstairs. He is then found upstairs attempting to wake Sookie in her bed. In an earlier episode Bill clearly states he can not enter a human home without an invitation. However, this is consistent with standard vampire lore in that, once given permission, a vampire may enter one's home at any time until that permission is revoked. At the time of the two examples above, permission to enter the home had not been revoked


• FAKE: In the scene where Tara and Sam are in Tara's motel room, they are drinking Steam Whistle beer. This particular brand of beer is not sold anywhere outside of Ontario, Alberta and British Colombia, Canada. It is highly unlikely that Tara would have possession of this brand of beer in Louisiana.


• CREW: When Sookie is cleaning up the blood in the kitchen a crew member is clearly visible behind her for a few seconds


• FAKE: The Capital "M"s in the "BON TEMPS CEMETERY" sign are installed backwards with the wide stroke to the left. On "M"s and "A"s the wide stroke should be to the right


• CONT: When Sookie is talking to Sam and Arlene about the three rednecks going to kill the vampires, the amount of beer in the two mugs on the counter changes back and forth between shots


• PLOT: Amy and Jason kidnap Lafayette's source for V, vampire Eddie. She puts a chainmail hood over Eddie's head as soon as he opens the door, they tie him up in silver chains and carry him to the back of Jason's truck. While Amy drives them home, Jason lets her know that he is not happy about what she has gotten him into and Amy says to him "If you want to make the same arrangement with Eddie that Lafayette has go right ahead" (something to this effect). However, nothing happened that would let her know what the vampire's name was. Eddie is still in the back of the truck fettered by the silver hood and chains.


• CONT: Near the beginning Jason Stackhouse's shirt has the third the button apparently undone. His shirt is then magically buttoned back up as the scene continues.


• CONT: In the prior episode Daphne enters the water naked but is seen climbing out wearing panties.


• FAKE: Tara goes to visit LaFayette and he goes to the door to let her in, but he pretends to turn an already unlocked deadbolt.


• CONT: When Tara is talking to her mother her blouse straps start up, then change positions, most noticeably her left which is down in some cuts, but up again in others. Since Tara is handcuffed to the table there isn't even the slight chance that she adjusted them and they slipped off again.


• CHAR: Eric accuses Bill of feeding Sookie his blood the very night they met, but it wasn't until the second night they met that she had his blood to save her from the beating the Ratrays gave her.

Undrar hur folk upptäcker sånt här??

Kristin Bauer, True Blood Vampire Pam should know by now all the ins and outs of being a vampire, but as she describes below, she is still asking about how to wear her fangs while not lisping.  But she knows enough to help teen vamp, Jessica to learn the ropes.

“To learn how to bite somebody, there should be a school,” she tells PEOPLE of using the sharp fangs the vampires wear. “We should have teeth school.”

Even talking with the chompers is tough. “I find Alex or Stephen [Moyer], who plays Sookie Stackhouse’s vampire beau Bill Compton, and say, ‘How the heck do I do this? … How do I not lisp?”

Moyer’s advice: “He said, you just have to take the pain,’ ” says Bauer with a laugh. “They’re so big and sharp that they go into your bottom lip. He was exactly right. If you try to avoid and find a place to make these comfortable in your mouth, it’ll never happen. You look like evil Bugs Bunny.”

So, is she worried she might actually draw blood when she nips a costar? “No, my fear is I don’t want to drool on this poor person!”

As for the show, Bauer’s character takes on the role of mentor to new vampire Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll). “It’s Pam’s view point that [Jessica] has a really crappy maker,” Bauer reveals. “She thinks Bill is a horrible maker because he doesn’t teach her how to be a real vampire. He’s teaching her how to be a PG vampire.”

But that will never do for Pam, who is known as a sarcastic — and deadly — sidekick to Eric. “Pam had to give Jessica the lowdown on what it’s like to be a real, you know, basically serial killer,” says Bauer. “She gives her some advice on the nitty-gritty of having people be your food.”

Asked what else she can reveal about her plotline in season 3 of True Blood, which premiered last Sunday on HBO, Bauer is coy. “I’ve tried to figure out what I can say,” she says, “and the only thing I’ve come up with is we get to see Pam’s PJs.”

In fact, Bauer finally gets to partake in some of True Blood‘s famously steamy sex scenes — she just won’t say who her partner (or partners) will be. “She does get some action,” Bauer says of her character. “There’s some hot action!” –Marla Lehner

According to Ryan Kwanten, yes! And it sounds pretty serious. “She may just stick around for a little while” Ryan tells me.

I need to know more about this True Blood sex shocker that is so twisted. Who does it involve?
You learned one half of the party here and the other half, who will be revealed in the third episode, has this to say about it: “It was actually the most shocking thing that I’ve ever read in a television script. My jaw dropped on the floor when I read it and thought, ‘Oh my god, I actually have to do that.’ Here’s your script, pray that your parents will be okay when they watch this episode. They may not want to. It was a little uncomfortable, but we got through it and I’m working with the best people from the writers to the producers to the other actors and at the end of the day, I’d rather be on a show that’s provocative and pushes the envelope than one that doesn’t.”

How is Jason going to recover on True Blood this season after killing Eggs?
As you saw in last night’s premiere, Jason Stackhouse and Officer Andy have a plan. Unfortunately, things aren’t going to unfold as neatly as expected—particularly when Andy becomes the town hero for offing “serial killer” Eggs, and Jason’s left dealing from some serious guilt, and not just emotionally. Says the superdelish Ryan Kwanten: “There may be something on top of that, because [Jason's] mental faculties aren’t quite all there to start with.”

Is Sam ever going to be happy on True Blood? He always gets the short end of the stick!
Based on the first three episodes, our guess was no, Sam will never, ever find happiness. Sigh. But lucky for you shapeshiftin’ lovahs, Sam Trammell tells us: “Yes, you will see Sam happy. Momentarily.”

Please tell me we won’t be seeing Bill’s maker Lorena again on True Blood for a very long time.
I wish I could, but sadly the wackadoodle Lorena will be making a very unwelcome return to True Blood this week. And per usual, she’s piling on the drama superthick. Luckily (sorta) for Bill, this lights a fire within—operative word being fire.

Posh24.se skriver att Anna och Stephen är väldigt professionella när de spelar in vissa scener och att de inte "äter upp varandra", haha. :D

Man skulle kunna tro att paret (även bakom kamerorna) Stephen Moyer och Anna Paquin fick de andra True Blood-skådisarna att känna sig obekväma under deras kärleksscener, men så är inte fallet. Kollegorna Carrie Preston och Kristin Bauer kan intyga att paret är väldigt professionella med sin relation och att de visar respekt för sina medarbetare och inte "äter upp varandra" under inspelningarna. Stephen lägger dock till att han inte har några problem med att spela passionerad under dessa kärleksscener utan att det kommer helt naturligt. Ha ha, så gulligt!

Lesbian Weirdness

Sookie may not have time for Pam’s “lesbian weirdness,” but her forceful yet playful flirtation with absolutely anyone who walks into Fangtasia is pure fun. Pam is willing to do and say anything to get the psychological edge over anyone she meets, which is a very handy trait.

The Outfits

Whether she’s dressed like a dominatrix stripper or an Avon saleswoman all in pink, Pam certainly goes out on a limb with her clothing choices. Since a lot of the other vampires seem fine dressing like typical goths or strange bikers, it’s nice to see a vampire add a little flair to her wardrobe.

Standing Up to Eric

Eric is certainly an intimidating guy, but in spite of being his subordinate, Pam has no problem standing up to him. She told him right to his face that she needed to tell the Queen about Bill’s disappearance, not caring about what a powerful sheriff like Eric could do to her.

The Hooker Backstory

Flashbacks are a big part of True Blood, and her quick comment to Lafayette about how she hasn’t been a “hooker” for a long, long time gave a glimpse into her backstory. Now we can just sit back and wait for the flashback to see Pam, pre-vampire, as a prositute.

Threatening Lafayette

Not only does True Blood love getting the men naked, but it also loves seeing a woman kick a man’s ass. When Pam held Lafayette and threatened him to sell the V quickly, it was a beautiful role reversal that True Blood is fond of, showing the woman taking charge.

[Källa]

Sookie desperately tries to locate her fiancé as season three 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.

Are Sookie and Bill really over?
They’re so not in a happy place. But one of them will be in a sexy place. Here’s what I can tell you about the first three episodes: Either Bill or Sookie has sex with someone, and it is hands-down the most unforgettable (you will have dreams/nightmares afterward!) sex scene in the entire run of True Blood so far. Here’s what else you can expect from the first three episodes:

1. Someone tries to commit suicide.
2. Someone tries to kill a sibling.
3. Someone loses his head.
4. Someone is pregnant.
5. Someone has a one night stand–and it’s the last person you’d expect.
6. Someone has an underground sex marathon–and it’s the first person you’d expect.
7. There are more bare backsides than a gym locker room, and one belongs to one Mr. Alexander Skarsgård. This just in from Alan Ball: You’re welcome.

Vet faktiskt inte…

Men inte enligt: DENNA HEMSIDA

Varför ville Godric dö?

Det fanns ju många anledningar, men han kände typ skuld för all död han hade orsakat och tyckte att jorden var en plats för människor. Eh typ??

Är det bekräftat att dom ska göra alla böcker till Tv-serie eller håller dom bara på tills dom tröttnar?

Det är bekräftat att det ska göras säsong 4, mer vet vi inte än.

Tycker inte du att Sverige borde ha lite förtur med tredje säsongen av True Blood för att Alexander Skarsgård är från sverige? :D

Haha vet faktiskt inte, men Alexander har ju en ganska stor roll och svt har redan köpt rättigheterna till säsong 3.

Hur många böcker finns det och vad heter alla på svenska?

Kolla kategorin  ''Böckerna''

Vart kan man köpa drickan trueblood, eller om den inte kommit ut ännu, vart kommer man kunna köpa den? :)

Den finns att köpa på HBOs officiella shop men vi mailade dom förut och dom transporterar tyvärr inte till Sverige :(

Vilken är din favorit karaktär?

SVÅRT!! Men tror det är Eric och Sookie.

Hur många böcker finns det?

I Sookie Stackhouse serien finns det 10 st + en extra bok. Mer info hittar du i ketegorin ''Böckerna''.

Vet du om dom kommer göra serier av alla böckerna?

Än så länge bara bekräftat att det blir en fjärde säsong.

Kommer dom att översätta alla böcker?

Det tror jag, men har inte läst något om det...

Alltså handlar True blood nästan om samma som Vampire diaries eller nått liknande?

Dom handlar båda om vampyrer men på HELT olika sett.

Så här beskriver Wikipedia True Blood:

Serien utspelar sig i den fiktiva småstaden Bon Temps i Louisiana, i en tid där vampyrer lever sida vid sida med människor, efter att en japansk forskare lyckats framställa ett syntetiskt blodalternativ som säljs under varumärket "Tru Blood". Vampyrer behöver därför inte längre leva i det fördolda och livnära sig på mänskligt blod. De har gått ut och förklarat att de vill leva i samförstånd med vanliga människor, vilket hörsammats av lagstiftarna som gett dem samma lagstadgade rättigheter och skyldigheter som andra medborgare, trots att många människor ser på vampyrer med skepsis och rädsla. Servitrisen Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), som även har förmågan att höra andras tankar, förälskar sig i den 173-årige vampyren Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) vilket får henne att framstå som ännu mer avvikande än tidigare.

“We had to work on their timeline,” says executive producer Gregg Fienberg. A lighter summer coat would make the 120-pound gray wolves, cast in werewolf roles, look smaller and less menacing. “We can’t suddenly have wolves that look different.”

''Television producers are used to working with high-maintenance stars. But the popularity of the vampire genre, which all of a sudden has embraced werewolves, has some productions learning to deal with wolf actors. Big-budget movies can afford to craft expensive computer-generated werewolves, but TV, with its smaller budgets, must often rely on the real thing.

Every few seconds of screen time for the growling giant werewolves in the coming movie “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” took a team of as many as six visual-effects experts up to six weeks to create. The cost of live wolves varies, but they typically rent for under $500 a day, plus the cost of trainers. Since the animals prefer to travel in packs, six or seven additional wolves may accompany a wolf actor, but producers don’t have to pay for the rest of the entourage.

“Deadwood,” a Western series on HBO, used live wolves. Animal Planet recently aired “Living with the Wolfman,” a reality series about an English couple that lives with a pack of wolves.

Thunder, a golden timber wolf with deep amber eyes, landed a role as a werewolf on the third season of “True Blood,” along with seven other wolves. HBO’s series, which returns June 13, follows vampires, werewolves and humans who coexist in the fictional town of Bon Temps, La.''

''Daddy Joe Lee was in prison doing hard time when mama learned she was preggers with Sam. “So I gave him up for adoption to an affluent family,” says J., a college chum of creator Alan Ball.

These new bizarros finally provide Sam an opportunity to shine in a series that has become eclipsed by high-profile blood-suckers. Likening his clan to “the scab under the Band-Aid,” Sam says his character “just wants to see what they’re like and how bad they are” before returning to Bon Temps. “But he doesn’t expect them to bleed back into his life, which is when the problems start.”

Near the end of the season, expect disturbing flashbacks to some bad, bad things Sam did after being abandoned by his adoptive parents. “You’ll see a different side of him,” teases Sam. “A dark side.” And wait until Episode 6, when the twisted way Joe Lee pimped out his wife and son is revealed.  But while Sam has been steady with actress Missy Yager for six years, his character won’t be getting much action after losing waitress lovers Dawn and Daphne. Of course that could change when Sam hires Holly (Lauren Bowles), another new waitress, near season’s end. But, Sam reminds us, “Being a waitress at Merlotte’s is typically a very dangerous position.”

"He's kind of a moral compass on the show," Joe said of Alcide in an exclusive interview with Hollywood Crush. "He's big, he's strong and he's protective. He's a good person."

According to Joe, Alcide also has a lot in common with a slinky.

"I describe him as a slinky," Joe said as he began using an unexpected metaphor to describe his character. "It's this coiled piece of metal that when it's coiled a certain way, it can walk downstairs and do these amazing things. But if you were to try and straighten that slinky out, it would cease to be special. That's kind of how I see Alcide in a way — he's this amazing creature trying to live within the confines of human society. It's a lonely existence."

As "True Blood" progresses through the third season, Alcide uncoils and escorts Sookie through "an underground society of werewolves" in order to alleviate a debt he owes to Eric Northman. Viewers will soon recognize that there's an attraction between Alcide and Sookie, but the telepath isn't the only character in this pair with some additional romantic baggage.

"Alcide has a psycho ex-fiancée named Debbie Pelt who's floating around causing him trouble," said Joe. "She's crazy. She's psychotic. She's twisted. It's a fascinating dynamic between her and Alcide. She's a character on the edge and Alcide's caught in that spot between letting her go and trying to save her."
