Why is Sookie wearing THE engagement ring in True Blood Episode 8 ??














Funny that Sookie would be wearing an engagement ring and one that looks just like the one Stephen Moyer gave Anna Paquin ;-)

Sookie Book #10 is called Dead in the Family ?

From Charline Harris' blog..

This has been a week of working, working, working as I try to bring DEAD IN THE FAMILY to a close. Lots of unexpected things happened, and I realized I have to cut a couple of characters I had big plans for, but I’ll save them for another book. It took me a while to realize what the theme of the book was, and when I realized it was about family – Eric’s, Sam’s, Sookie’s, Bill’s – suddenly everything became much easier.

Battle of the Un-dead: True Blood vs. Being Human

Remember in the UK TB is in season 1

It does not happen very often, except perhaps with Police Drama’s: twoTV shows manage to come up with virtually the same concept independently, and both excute it with a fair degree of innovation and quality.

Unless you have been hiding under a rock living in Australia) you will know about True Blood, the R rated TV Series currently airing in the US on HBO. Its premise is that Vampires have ‘come out’, and while society is dealing with the new and dangerous cultural aspects of it, political forces on both sides are trying to take advantage of the perceived power vacuums.

It is all set in a sleepy Louisiana town that manages to lose a few people each week, yet still seems to attract newcomers. No warning at the city limits that the death rate in the town has skyrocketed recently to ten times the national average. Well, you do have to put aside a fair bit of unbelief to watch any fantasy/fiction show. The main characters live or work around the town or at the local bar. Though the vampire would be the logical choice to work in the bar, he doesn’t.

Only UK viewers may be familiar with Being Human. It follows the story of three housemates, a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living in the city of Bristol, UK. While vampires are still undercover, the political scene is shifting rapidly towards vampocalypse. The housemates deal with their various curses with intelligence, wit and a fair amount of girlish screaming. Two of the housemates work at the local hospital, while the ghost stays home and makes tea.

Rising Star: Alexander Skarsgard


From Access Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Twilight” might rule the big screen when it comes to the vampire world, but every week this summer HBO’s “True Blood” has been delivering gripping edge-of-your seat drama, action – and not to mention, a nice dose of dark comedy – on the small screen. At the center of all the bloody fun is Swedish import, Alexander Skarsgard, as vampire Eric Northman, the undead hunk who might save your life – or suck it right out of you!

AccessHollywood.com caught with the 32-year-old actor – the son of actor Stellan Skarsgard – who said his role on “True Blood” is unlike anything he ever imagined playing.

“A 1,000-year-old flying Viking vampire is quite different from most of my previous roles,” he told Access.

After working for years in his native Sweden, Alexander garnered Hollywood’s attention after appearing in the 2008 HBO miniseries, “Generation Kill,” a project that is still helping the actor now.

“I just tweaked my accent from ‘Generation Kill’ a little and threw in a few Swedish words,” he said of his accent he uses on “True Blood,” which is set in the fictional city of Bon Temps, Louisiana.

Alexander said he was drawn to the role because he gets to walk the line between good and evil – sometimes in the same breath.

”[I love] that he drains people with an innocent smile on his face,” he said.
