En bit ur 'Deadlocked'
What Will Happen To Tara?
In season four’s most shocking finale moment, major player Tara was seemingly killed off by a bullet that left her brain tissue decorating Sookie’s kitchen. Or was she? This is True Blood after all, so chances are this isn’t the last we’ll see of her. We’ve seen a bunch of people be healed by vampire blood, but is that magical elixir really powerful enough to cure a gaping hole in the head? Fan speculation has been rife with talk of one of the vampires turning Tara into one of them. If that’s the case, then who is the likely candidate as maker? Bill saved her life in the cemetary, but he already has Jessica to deal with. Eric’s relationship with Pam is currently on the rocks, so maybe he’d like a substitute snarky lady vamp sidekick. On the other hand, he attacked Tara and once kept Lafayette prisoner in his filthy basement, so maybe Tara wouldn’t be too thrilled to be his progeny. And then there’s Pam, who Eric has suggested should sire a baby vamp of her own, but we know she and Tara hate each other’s guts.
Or perhaps Tara will return as a ghost, and haunt Lafayette like a ghetto-fabulous Obi Wan Kenobi? Or maybe the True Blood writers have been watching too much Walking Dead, and she’ll come back as a zombie? Here’s where you can post your theories on the exact nature of Tara’s demise.

Kristin Bauer intervju med 'Improper'.
JONATHAN SOROFF: Do you believe vampires exist?
KRISTIN BAUER: In Hollywood? Energy vampires, certainly. Are you kidding me?
WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU—PAINTING OR ACTING?
Well, one puts food on the table, and I’m very practical. The other one kinda helps me repair the chaos inflicted by the other. But of course, I’d have to pick eating and a roof over my head for the moment.
WOULD YOU RATHER BE REMEMBERED FOR PAINTING OR ACTING?
Interesting question. Painting was sort of my secret. Nobody knew that I did it, and it was sort of my secret sanctuary. I finally decided to tell people that I did this other thing, and I built my website. I still have a foot and a half in the acting world, so I’ll still say acting. But my painting is all me.
IS IT ANNOYING TO BE REMEMBERED AS “MAN HANDS” FROM SEINFELD?
[Laughs] Hmm…Man Hands or a great painter? I think you’d have to go with Man Hands, don’t you think?
WHO’D WIN IN A WRESTLING CONTEST: YOU OR RUTINA WESLEY [WHO PLAYS TARA THORNTON]?
Oh my God. After watching her last year, I’ve gotta go with Rutina.
IS IT A STRETCH FOR YOU TO PLAY SUCH A BITCH?
No! Not at all! Interestingly, amazingly, those shoes are really easy to step into.
WEIRDEST FAN ENCOUNTER?
She was wearing a cape, and she gave me a journal that she’d been keeping. It took me, a few friends and some cocktails to figure out what she was trying to say, and I think it had something to do with her being my maker as a vampire. She also grabbed my ass. [Laughs.] Pretty memorable.
DO YOU REALLY GET TO SEE ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD NAKED?
Yes! It’s a nice perk.
WHO’S THE SEXIEST MAN ON TRUE BLOOD?
It’s almost impossible for me to say at this point, because I’m so close to all these people. We’re in year five of our relationships. But I do have to say that one of the set crushes for a lot of the girls is Chris Bauer [who plays Andy Bellefleur]. This is the sexiest cast. Whatever your type, he’s there. But Chris Bauer is sort of the on-set heartthrob. Cute, sweet, cool. He’s the guy you’d marry.
DID YOU THINK THE SHOW WAS GOING TO BE SO HUGE?
I didn’t. As an actor, you can only hope that you’ll end up on a show like this. Watching it grow, and the fans, and the numbers, it’s just amazing. I don’t feel like we’ve reached the limit yet.
ANY THOUGHTS ON TWILIGHT?
I took my nieces to see it. They’re 15, 16, and they’re not allowed to watch True Blood yet. I thought, “Oh, perfect!” And it was.
THINK THIS WHOLE VAMPIRE TREND IS GOING TO RUN ITS COURSE ANYTIME SOON?
I thought it ran its course with Anne Rice. Then I thought it ran its course five years ago. And I keep seeing yet another vampire show every time I turn around. It seems to be a classic story line and archetype we keep coming back to.
IF YOU COULD, WOULD YOU BECOME A VAMPIRE?
I’ve thought about that. It’s a bit like that game “Would You Rather…” I tell myself that I’d be spiritually evolved enough to have faith in the system as it is—bodies are supposed to die. You’re a spiritual being. You’re not this vessel you’re in. But… would I be able to turn down perpetual youth? And they’re always wealthy and they always dress well. If you caught me on the wrong day, I’d say, “Oh, yeah.”
WHO WOULD YOU FEED OFF OF?
Boy, that would be fun, because you could feed off of people you hate. You could feed off of people you thought were hot. You could feed a little too much off of some politicians or celebrities you’re sick of. So, feeding off of Sarah Palin? That would be kind of awesome.
IS ANNA PAQUIN A LITTLE POCKET PAL?
[Laughs.] She is small, but she’s so not the personality who would be content sitting in someone’s pocket. She’s this fierce, incredible tour de force. She’s so funny and amazing. Pocket pal doesn’t really describe her.
WHAT’S THE SHOOTING SCHEDULE LIKE?
Slightly intense. Because I’m a vampire, I’m always going to shoot at night, when it’s really cold. But I’ve been really lucky. Fangtasia was a bar that existed in Long Beach, and they rebuilt it on the set—one advantage of being on a successful show. So I drive to a set, and I have a trailer to hang out in. The days are really long, and they’ll kill you for two days, but then you have time off, because it’s a huge cast with lots of plot lines.
FINISH THIS SENTENCE: “VAMPIRES DO IT…”
Every which way.
THING YOUR FANS WOULD BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT YOU?
They’d be surprised to see how astoundingly un-together and unfashionable I can look.
DO YOU HAVE A GALLERY THAT REPS YOUR ART?
I don’t, and that was one of my projects on hiatus. I do a lot of commissions, so a lot of it I don’t keep. But that’s one of the things on my to-do list.
YOUR IDEA OF A PERFECT SUNDAY AFTERNOON?
I love when it’s raining, wearing PJs, a big Sunday breakfast at home, in my slippers, no makeup. That’s heaven.
WHAT COMES AFTER TRUE BLOOD?
There are always acting opportunities, but I’ve been incredibly lucky. I’ve gone from playing the dumb blonde to the killer vampire, and on Once Upon a Time, I’m playing a storybook character. So there will be more fun roles, and also, I’ve been writing. I’m working on a book, and I like to tell stories. That’s why I got into acting.
WHAT DOES YOUR HUSBAND THINK OF THE WHOLE TRUE BLOOD PHENOMENON?
He was taken by surprise by it, I think, because he was visiting Hollywood from South Africa when we met and had no intention of staying. So this was all new to him. It’s really interesting to see it through his eyes, because it’s even more virginal than coming from Wisconsin.
WORST AUDITION STORY?
Oh, there’s such a plethora. But singing was pretty memorable. I can’t sing, and I had to do this Donnie Osmond song for that Hugh Jackman show Viva Las Vegas.
BIGGEST LIE ON YOUR ACTING RESUME?
Well, most of them have been removed at this point, because when I started out, I didn’t have an acting resume and so I made one up. I was in some audition, and the casting director goes, “This character’s a lot like Terry.” I said, “Who?” She said, “From Bus Stop. On your resume.” I tried to cover by saying, “Oh! I thought you said Sherry!”
SO WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK TO VISIT THE MUSEUM SCHOOL?
I’m not sure, but when I do I should probably confess to my teacher that I brought in my boyfriend’s paintings as my final exam.

Charlaine Harris Interview -The Creation of Sookie
As we True Blood fans know, Charlaine Harris has announced that the bestselling Sookie Stackhouse novels on which our favorite show is based will conclude with the thirteenth volume (volume 12 is due out next year).
Below are portions of the first part of the conversation, in which Harris discusses her approach to writing, her influences, the creation of Sookie Stackhouse, the character’s upcoming final adventures, and what she might do next.
You just finished writing the twelfth Sookie Stackhouse novel…
The penultimate book, because I’m going to finish with the thirteenth.
Is it tough to finish this series, to let it go?
It’s tough to walk away from the money. [Laughs.] Yeah, it is going to be tough.
But you don’t have to.
No. I don’t have to. But I just felt like I’m finishing the story. I don’t have anything left. That’s what I’ve got. I don’t want to keep writing when I’m running on empty. I think we all know writers who have continued to write the same characters when they run out of gas apparently. I just don’t want to be like that.
You’ve written plenty of other novels beside the Southern Vampire Mysteries. Do you have a long list of things you’ve put on the back burner because of Sookie?
Yes, I do. [Laughs.] And honestly it is so exciting to do something different.
How far into the thirteenth Stackhouse novel are you?
Zero! [Laughs.] That’s my next project. When I get home I have to go over the copy-edited pages of Sookie 12, which will be out in May. That will freshen up my memory about what I need to do in Sookie 13, to tie everything together. A seemingly impossible task.
I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but could you talk about what the twelfth novel will involve?
It’s called Deadlocked. It’s another extension of her adventures, moving a step forward to resolve many of the issues that are brought up in previous books. She gets kidnapped – you know, the usual mayhem. She gets kidnapped, she has to get out of it. The Fey entry into her life is pretty much wrapped up. She learns a lot more about everything really. She learns a lot in this book, the truth. So it was a challenging book to write, and I tried to keep it on track more as a mystery. But there are just so many loose ends to tie up, it’s just incredible. [Laughs.]
Even though Sookie is a mature woman, do you view the entire series, on one level, as a coming-of-age story?
The growth of her character is definitely a major part of the novels, but I wouldn’t call it coming-of-age. She’s a twenty-six year-old woman. But she certainly becomes worldlier, more aware of the other worlds around her. She’s always known what human nature was like, because she’s telepathic. Which is kind of a bitter pill to swallow. But she learns how to live with a lot of things, and what she can’t live with.

True Blood- Copycats?
Nyligen har det sagts att en artikel har dykt upp i New York Post, som rapporterar hur Robert Pattinson har dissat Twilight konkurrenter:
'En mänsklig tjej som blir kär i en vampyr, har blivit en av de vanligaste begreppen i popkulturen. Men Robert Pattinson tycker att vampyr TV-serier som "True Blood" och "The Vampire Diaries" är "Twilight" copycats.'
"Det är som Cola vs. Pepsi, och hur Cola sagt "Det finns en anledning till att alla jämför sig med oss" sade Robert, enligt webb siten Hollywood Life. "Twilight var den orginella och alla försöker kopiera den. Alla försöker bara att hoppa ombord på "Twilight tåget".
En True Blood fan-sida komentar om detta:
Now it’s entirely possible that his words were taken out of context, or he was just kidding around, but the media has chosen to see this as a disparaging remark about True Blood. I’ve noticed that you Twilight fans are naturally very defensive of anything that Mr. Pattinson has to say, and I’ve also noticed that many of you do tend to share this attitude that True Blood and The Vampire Diaries are just poor relatives of Twilight. Here is a typical quote I have found from a Twilight fan responding to those who have criticised Robert for sounding ignorant in his remark:
“rob is so right about all these nonsense copycats. they were just trying to play a copy paste game.,,, ,,TWILIGHT’S CASTS are soooooo amazing that they made a blockbuster movie .chill and relax bcoz twilight was the one started these vampires obsessed(THE TRUTH!!!)”
Översatt: "Rob har så rätt om alla dessa copycats nonsens. De försökte bara spela kopiera, klistra in spel. Twilight Teamet är såååå otroliga att de gjorde en storfilm. chilla och koppla av för att Twilight var den som startade hela denna vampyr besattheten (sanningen!!!)"
Wow, such an articulate argument! However, there’s something I’d like to clear up – True Blood is based on a series of novels by Charlaine Harris, entitled The Southern Vampire Mysteries (give them a read, if you can cope with all the saucy stuff without your brains exploding). The first of these was published in 2001. Twilight, as I’m sure you’re well aware, was published in 2005. Likewise the first Vampire Diaries novel was published in 1991. True Blood actually first aired in September 2008, several months before the release of Twilight the movie. So just in case you are among the Twihards accusing these shows of bandwagon-jumping, it’s important to note that both pre-dated Twilight.

Alexander Skarsgård- "One Of The Sexiest People in 2011"
Detta står på artikeln:
With his cool Nordic looks he’s arrestingly handsome, but there’s more to Skarsgård’s sex appeal than those piercing blue eyes and intense stare. Named Sexiest Man Alive five times in his native Sweden, he made the rest of the world take notice when he landed the role of dangerously alluring vampire Eric in True Blood. Spending much of his screen time naked is no big deal for the 1.93m star, who thanks the long Swedish winters cooped up indoors for his liberal attitudes to sex: “When you’re bored, you just have sex,” he explained. But the son of actor Stellan Skarsgård isn’t interested in being only the onscreen eye candy: “I can’t just be ‘and the hot guy walks into the room.’ It’s not interesting if someone is always perfectly tanned, the air is blow-dried,” the newly single star said. “The only thing that’s important is to make it real.”
