Synopsis of True Blood Season 3 episodes posted

TRUE BLOOD: Based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris, this hit drama series was created by Alan Ball, creator of HBO’s Emmy®-winning series “Six Feet Under.” The show tells the ongoing tale of Sookie (Golden Globe winner Anna Paquin), a waitress with telepathic gifts – and an irresistible attraction to 173-year old vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) who went missing at the end of season two.

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 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.

Episode #25: “Bad Blood”:
Sookie turns to Eric for help finding Bill; Andy urges Jason to stay the course; Sam reconnects with his past; Tara seeks refuge from her grief. (Written by Brian Buckner; directed by Daniel Minahan.)
Playdates: 13, 15, 16, 19 and 30

Episode #26: “Beautifully Broken”:
Russell Edgington, the Vampire King of Mississippi, concocts a plan to consolidate his power. Eric remembers his past; Sam tests the strength of his family bonds; Tara finds an ally in a shady vampire named Franklin Mott. (Written by Raelle Tucker; directed by Scott Winant.)
Playdates: 20, 22, 23, 26 and 30

Episode #27: “It Hurts Me Too”:
In search of Bill, Sookie heads to Jackson, Mississippi in the company of Alcide, a werewolf bodyguard assigned by Eric to protect her. Jason is distracted from his police exams; Bud reaches the end of his rope; Arlene copes with unexpected news; Franklin charms Tara, and gets Jessica out of a jam; Eric bequeaths a gift to Lafayette. Haunted by visions from his past, Bill makes a surprising pledge of allegiance. (Written by Alexander Woo; directed by Michael Lehmann.)
Playdates: 27, 29 and 30

NZ actress has a comic-book makeover

Kiwi star Anna Paquin is being immortalised in a comic book - but some are questioning her cartoon likeness to the real thing.

Paquin's hit show True Blood is being adapted into a series of comics by America's HBO TV network and publisher IDW.

The comics are written by the show's creator Allan Ball and his scriptwriters and promise "the same erotically-charged romance, wry humour and intriguing mystery and suspense the show has become known for".

The depiction of Paquin's character Sookie Stackhouse has drawn mixed reactions.

LA-based Kiwi blogger Horiwood said he loved the way the cartoon Stackhouse looked more like Angelina Jolie than Paquin.

'Moonlight,' is resurrected and paired with 'Vampire Diaries'e

I'm excited about this ...

Vampires are so hot right now that the CW is even resurrecting one that was already dead. Well, technically undead, but killed off its original network.

"Moonlight," which aired its first and only season on CBS in 2007, will premiere in reruns on the CW on June 3. That'll fill a void, perhaps, with "Vampire Diaries" fans who will run out of new episodes of that original show next week and might never have seen the older series. (Though, demographically, CW fans might be more apt to turn to the new season of HBO's "True Blood," coming back for its third season June 13.)

The CW is pairing "Moonlight" with repeats of "Vampire Diaries" on Thursday nights. The former CBS drama stars Alex O'Loughlin as Mick St. John, a private investigator who happens to be immortal and works to help the living (rather than sucking the life out of them).

Whether it's just the hard-core existing fans who show up, or a whole (younger) set of viewers latch onto "Moonlight," it will be a limited-time fixation. O'Loughlin stars in a CBS pilot, the remake of "Hawaii Five-O," that looks like a lock for the network's fall schedule. So he's booked, Dano.

Having his former show airing this summer, though, could help keep the hunky leading man top of mind before "Hawaii Five-O" launches, and give the CW some synergistic brownie points with its sibling network.

Los Angeles to host bestselling author Charlaine Harris

Earlier this week, Penguin Group released Dead in the Family, the latest and highly-anticipated book in the Sookie Stackhouse Mystery Series by bestselling author Charlaine Harris, a successful mystery and fantasy novelist for over 25 years.

Fans of the hit HBO series True Blood, which is inspired by the Sookie Stackhouse books (AKA The Southern Vampire Series), may be surprised to learn that Harris’ latest book is actually the tenth book in the popular series that follows our favorite telepathic barmaid and amateur sleuth, Sookie Stackhouse, and her cast of vampire and shape-shifter friends through the drama and politics of everyday life in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, where the supernatural is very real, very funny and extremely socially relevant.

For the LA Books Examiner, fan of the books and the TV show, it’s interesting to watch fellow reviewers attempt to squeeze these phenomenally successful books into a single genre or category. Are they paranormal mysteries, science fiction, fantasies, or vampire romances? The truth, however, is that these books are all of those things and more. In fact, for the LA Books Examiner, they’re guilt-free pleasures that anyone can sink their teeth into, whether Dead in the Family is your first taste or you’ve been following the entire series.

Crimes by Moonlight, edited by Charlaine Harris

Crimes by Moonlight is an anthology featuring members of the Mystery Writers of America. It was edited by Charlaine Harris, and the stories are all a mix of mystery and the supernatural.

Like every anthology, this one has its ups and downs. I’m a bit picky about short stories, so only a few of these tales really worked for me. Unless you’re the kind of reader who wants to own every story from one of these authors, I’d suggest checking it out from the library first before you buy a copy.

A breakdown of the individual stories is below.

• “Dahlia Underground” by Charlaine Harris
  Dahlia hunts a group of anti-vampire extremists after their successful terrorist attack on a vampire gathering. This takes place shortly after the conclusion of All Together Dead (the seventh Sookie Stackhouse novel), though you don’t have to be familiar with that book to get the story. As a fan of this world, it was great to see some of the aftermath of the vampire summit in Rhodes. But Dahlia is not that easy to connect with and there were some overly convenient turns in the investigation.

‘Vampire Diaries’ gives Atlanta a special bite

From Atlanta Journal ( we love when these shows are filmed OUTSIDE Los Angeles !)

This is running Monday for my weekly print column:

the-vampire-diaries-cast-pictureIn an episode of “Vampire Diaries” last month, Damon tricked vampire hunter Alaric into helping him save his vampire bro Stefan. Alaric is not happy.

“I know you hate me,” Damon said. “Guess what,” he added in a stage whisper, “Everyone hates me.”

Fortunately, plenty of folks love “Diaries,” which concludes its freshman year Thursday at 8 p.m. The drama instantly became the CW’s biggest program, averaging 3.7 million viewers a week and quickly earning a second season. This bodes well for its future in metro Atlanta, where the drama is produced.

“Vampire Diaries” artfully taps into the current broader vampire craze, capturing that happy medium between the lighter, romantic “Twlight” series and HBO’s edgier “True Blood,” which returns for a third season June 13.
