True Blood S02E01 – “Nothin But The Blood”

Music Review

By Boadicea

The geniuses behind the music selection of True Blood began the season on a high note (yes … pun intended). It’s going to be a bloody season, a very bloody season with the first episode properly named “Nothin But The Blood”.

We’re reminded of our first impression last year of True Blood with its theme song, ‘Bad Things’ by Jace Everett. “…You came in, the air went out. And all those shadows, there, filled up with doubt. I don’t know who you think you are, but before the night is through … I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you. I don’t know what you’ve done to me, but I know this much is true … I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you.”

Then there is always the beautifully haunting music by Nathan Barr – composer and performing artist of “Bill’s Entrance”, “Bill & Sookie’s Love Theme”, “Bill & Sookie Come Together”, “Take Me Home” with Lisbeth Scott, and many more of the original background scores. Who wouldn’t want an entire cd of nothing but Nathan Barr’s music. (ME .. ME ..*hint*hint*)
Amongst each episode’s bloodlust and sexual lust, a particular song will stand out.

Episode 2.01 “Nothin’ But The Blood”: The most subliminal song was “The Golden State” by John Doe (featuring Kathleen Edwards). The lyrics refer closely to Bill & Sookie’s struggling relationship; the developing relationship of Tara & Eggs; Sam & Maryanne’s past relationship; and, all the bloody creatures and happenings in Bon Temps:

You are the hole in my head I am the pain in your neck
You are the lump in my throat I am the aching in your heart
We are tangled We are stolen
We are living where things are hidden
You are something in my eye
And I am the shiver down your spine
You are on the lick of my lips
And I am on the tip of your tongue
We are tangled
We are stolen
We are buried up to our necks in sand We are luck
We are fate
We are the feeling you get in the golden state
We are love
We are hate
We are the feeling I get when you walk away….
Walk away
Well you are the dream in my nightmare I am that falling sensation
You are not needles and pills I am your hangover morning
We are tangled We are stolen
We are living where things are hidden
You are the hole in my head
You are the pain in your neck
You are the lump in my throat I am the aching in your heart

And we’re still wondering … who’s going to do what bad things to whom, when and how much?

Talk Blood ( True Blood Ep 3 ) Chatroom transcript

Alexander Skarsgård speaks about the deaths of Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson

True Blood Episode 3 teaser

from Rope of Silicon

Things just keep getting better with "Scratches," the third episode of "True Blood" season two, as a new element of villainy is added to the scenario and one that begins to play a larger role with more than just one of the series' characters.

The episode picks up shortly after the goings on at Jessica's (Deborah Ann Woll) parents' house where, if you'll remember, Bill showed up at the last possible minute at the end of the last episode, but we were left to wonder what was to come. Well, now we know and it isn't exactly a surprise, but — as you can see from the brief clip from the opening minutes to the right — there is much more in store for this episode as well as the rest of the season as Sookie (Anna Paquin) is attacked and left for dead.

So, as Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Sookie turn to Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) for help, Jessica heads home on her own, a plot point not forgotten by the writers that will bring into play one of the town's regulars not often given enough screentime, but it appears he may be getting much more in the future. Jessica is turning out to be the "Vampire 101" aspect of the show, but the writers aren't using her naivete as a vampire as a crutch as much as a story-telling device and it is working quite nicely.

Meanwhile, back at "Vampire Killer Training Camp" Jason is having nightmares and beginning to doubt himself, if only for a brief second, but his portion of this week's story is much smaller than previous episodes. However, he is around long enough to hear Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) drop this quote on us, "You cannot love evil. You have to hate it. So hating evil is like loving good." Jason nods his head and we are once again witness to his simple mind at work. Good stuff.

Instead, attention remains on the disappearance of the vampire Godrick in Texas and just what exactly is going to be done about it and the continuing presence of Maryann in Bon Temps as she throws a massive neighborhood party and once again things get a bit out of control causing Detective Belflour to say, "Whatchu doin' here pig?"

10 reasons why you should be watching “True Blood”

Post in the comments YOUR top 10 reasons why to watch True Blood !

Season two of the HBO original series “True Blood” started last week, and you should really be watching it. Not just for the romance between vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and psychic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), and not just because it’s about vampires. Make no mistake: “True Blood” is not your little sister’s “Twilight.” It’s got action, intrigue, plenty of steamy scenes, Southern charm, creatures of the night, Anna Paquin, a guy that turns into a dog, and enough blood splatter to make a Jackson Pollock painting jealous.

You should be watching it, and this is why:

1. The supernatural. Vampires have come out of the coffin. They walk among us (at night). They drink synthetic blood at our bars. They’re dating the girl next door. And they’re not alone: voodoo witchdoctors, psychic waitresses, and people who turn into animals are all regular cast members.

2. Bon Temps, Louisiana. When’s the last time you heard of a vampire story set in the deep South? New York City or Sunnydale, California, maybe. Transylvania, definitely. But Bon Temps, Louisiana? Shoot son, that’s what I call original! In a small town where everyone knows everyone, when strange things start happening around Merlotte’s Bar, rumors spread quicker than wildfire. Plus, the setting makes for plenty of Southern humor and Cajun accents.

3. The opening credits. Jace Everett’s country single “Bad Things” will have you singing along and getting down with your bad self every week.

Anne Rice Talks about True Blood

from an excellent interviews with Ms Rice by Aaron W. Tellock


True Blood, the HBO series, is infinitely more complex. The show is clever, satirical and yet deeply involving. It is full of humor and yet its characters have tender and emotional scenes. I find it very engaging and fun to watch. Obviously it has too much sex and violence for very young teens. But for an adult audience, it is an amazing development in the vampire mythology, putting the vampires right into the mainstream of the modern world. I like the show. I think the vampire Bill is the usual metaphor for the outsider and the sensitive outcast who suffers. He's excellent.

Can Ethan Hawke's Daybreakers Make Vampires Edgy Again?

Daybreakers hyper-stylized world of tomorrow in is run by vampires, while humans are on the verge of extinction. Faced with imminent starvation, vampire Ethan Hawk turns to Willem Dafoe and the last remaining humans for help.

We're going to go ahead and call it: Daybreakers looks fantastic. Pay no heed to Dafoe's cheese-ball lines and look at the intricate futuristic world-building here. There are blood stations, blood banks, and oh my yes — that's Dr. Grant as a vampire. It's been so long since we've had a solid vampire epic, and we dearly want this to be Fifth Element good, which is the feel I'm getting from it.

HBO's 'True Blood' star Sam Trammell finds his way home to Louisiana

The Times-Picayune

It is not such a long way from New Orleans to Bon Temps, La.

The Crescent City and the fictional setting of HBO's "True Blood" cast similar shadows.

They're both places where you can comfortably change your shape, howl at the moon and acquire unexplained bite marks. The trip from suburban Maryland Avenue in Metairie to Bon Temps is a different kind of journey.

Sam Trammell, who plays the Sookie-struck roadhouse owner Sam Merlotte on the saucy vampire drama (Sunday, 8 p.m.), traversed that route via West Virginia, Brown University, the New York stage, prime-time TV and feature films. Born at Ochsner Medical Center in 1971 while his father was in medical school at Tulane University (both his mother and father earlier attended LSU), Trammell bounced around with his family early on but they landed long enough on Maryland Avenue for him to compile glowing childhood memories.

"I remember it being pretty big," he said during a recent telephone interview. "I went back a few years ago and it's just so tiny. I remember playing kick-the-can right before dusk. It was such a great neighborhood to grow up in. I also remember going to Mardi Gras parades and just yelling at the people, 'Give me something, mister!' That was what I was taught to yell. I think that's what all the kids yelled back then. I remember the doubloons and the beads. It was really fun, really exciting."
