She tweeted her responses as she watched the premier last night to her publisher Penguin USA.
It only seems right to start our coverage of Season 4 with her comments.
I hope you all had as much fun watching Ep 1 & 2 last night as I did ! What great fun - I have to say it felt a little like Season 1 with the excitement and hope of a great season.
We are gearing up for next Sunday night on Talk Blood and I look forward to hearing from you all ...
I know everyone is anxious and ready for True Blood to premier tonight and boy-oh-boy, do we want to talk about it on Talk Blood Radio.
We are really excited that tonight HBO will air Episode 1 (on HBO) and immediately afterwards you can watch Episode 2 on HBO Go ( on the web, iPad or smart phone) – and we want to give everyone a chance to watch both.
After those 2 episode air it would be way too late ( especially for the east coast folks ) to start a radio show. So- we will wait and talk about both Episodes on July 3rd at 9:30 pm cst. You can listen live on Blogtalk , call-in and join in our fangtastic chatroom, after the Blogtalk Radio show airs live the podcast will be then be available on Blogtalk and on iTunes. I am thrilled to announce that ALL of the Talk Blood co-hosts are returning again this year :
Lisa ( the artist formerly known as @SookieBonTemps) , Andy Swist and Brian Juergens of Camp Blood , Mark Blankenship from Huffington Post, Jef With One F of the Houston Press, Meredith Woerner of io9.com and Becca Wilcott, author of the "Truly Madly Deadly the Unofficial True Blood Companion".
WOW – this is the BEST Team in the Sookieverse ! You really want to hear what these guys have to say!
We will also be bringing you some great Talk Blood sponsors –these great small businesses and independent authors are sponsoring Talk Blood episodes. We need more episode sponsors( $50) and we are having an UNBELIEVABLE raffle ( $20) or just donate a few bucks. Please get involved, advertise yourself, and donate for a chance to win a great prize.
Doll-eyed, Brooklyn-born beauty Deborah Ann Woll may be in her fourth year as newbie vampire Jessica on HBO’s wildly popular series “True Blood,” but the role doesn’t necessarily fit like a comfy pair of shoes.
“It’s been intense,” the 26-year-old Woll said recently about playing Jessica this season. “It’s asked me to try things I haven’t really done before, emotionally, physically and psychologically. It’s been really challenging, but great in that way.”
In its quest to show how supernatural powers wreak havoc on human nature, “True Blood” is nothing if not unpredictable. The show already has a dizzying repertory company of vampires, telepaths, shapeshifters, fairies and a werewolf. In this melange, Bible-thumping teenager Jessica’s transformation from Bill’s (Stephen Moyer) petulant vampire ward into a swoony yet feral bloodsucker has been one of the show’s more enjoyable character arcs.
The HBO vampire drama 'True Blood' is embarking on Season 4, in which the actor's character, Sam Merlotte, meets a fellow shape-shifter of considerable allure."True Blood's" fourth season opens Sunday night with Sam Trammell returning to HBO's racy vampire drama as Sam Merlotte, a cafe owner and shape-shifter who can turn into any animal he likes and back again. Offstage, Trammell, 40, is also preparing for his debut as the father of twins with his longtime girlfriend, actress Missy Yager.
Tell me about Sam Merlotte's adventures in the new season. I understand you have a new love interest.

What's in store for Sookie, Bill and Eric this summer? Why witches, fairies, panthers and politics of course.
Spoiler Alert, True Bloodievers! If you don't want to know any hints about all the "something wickeds" that this way come for Season 4, it's time to back browser.
This Sunday, Season 4 of HBO's True Blood kicks off and IGN's here to give you a primer on the summer's new episodes. Now, let's face it: this show is divisive. You're kind of either "in," or "out." And with two disappointing season finales in a row, the Bon Temp ball's pretty much in Sookie's court to try and win back some of the support this show's lost over the past year.
But for book fans, this season, based loosely on Charlaine Harris' fourth Southern Vampire Mystery book Dead to the World, is what legions of ladies have been waiting for. So we're always ready to give a show a second chance. And a third. I mean, despite Season 3's lack of payoff, it did set up a few interesting things for this year; the big one being Sookie and Bill being over and done with. So let's take a look at 10 "fangtastic" (can I even use that word in this context?) things to look for this season. Yes, 10 reasons to check out all the undead hunks, southern spitfires, Cajun wolves, meth-addict panthers and magical fairies of Season 4!

We are very happy that Brian and Andy will be returning for another fantastic season of Talk Blood Radio ...starts next week!
It’s pretty hard to miss the fact that this Sunday marks the return of HBO’s guiltiest of pleasures, the supernatural sex party True Blood.
Yes, this weekend we will cap off Gay Pride Week here in New York City by plunking down in front of our TVs to see what Sookie, Bill, Eric, Lafayette, Sam, Tara, Jessica, Hoyt, Arlene, Terry, Pam, and yes, even Teen Queen Sophie Ann have been doing since we last saw them. The return of the gayest show on television really is the ideal capper for a week celebrating individual freedoms, isn’t it?
Oh – except maybe the right to get married. That might work, too.
BE THAT AS IT MAY…
I’m excited about the return of True Blood and have been quietly working up to the premiere. How will you be welcoming the show’s return – a party? Wigs? Booze? I’d love

Televisionary Review of first 3 eps
We're heading back to Bon Temps at long last, as Season Four of HBO's libidinous and deliciously addictive vampire drama True Blood kicks off this weekend.
When we last caught up with Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and the other denizens of the sleepy Louisiana town turned supernatural hot spot, she had vanished into the light with her faerie godmother after learning that her vampire paramour, Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) had perhaps not been quite so honest about the circumstances surrounding their first meeting.

“True Blood” is bringing actress Katherine Helmond on board, New York Magazine’s Vulture blog reported.
Katherine will play Caroline Bellefleur, grandmother of detective Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer) and his sister, lawyer Portia Bellefleur (Courtney Ford).
In author Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels, Bill Compton (played in the series by Stephen Moyer) is a distant relative of the Bellefleur clan, however, a connection has not yet been established on the HBO series.
(CNN) -- The fourth season of HBO's "True Blood" premieres Sunday night, and there's no better time to take a look at some of the reasons why we love the show.
10. Yup, they went there.
"True Blood" kills it (sometimes literally) when it comes to the "Oh hell no!" moment. For you newbies, I'll be blunt. This show isn't for the squeamish, the easily offended, small children or those who don't like their shows bloody with a deep fried side of sadistic.
"WTF?!" gems from seasons past include Bill and Lorena's twisted tryst in Mississippi and Lafayette's bone-crushing escape from Fangtasia's dungeon. Only one scene can rule them all, however, and that honor goes to Russell's television takeover last season in which he removed a newscaster's spine with his bare hands.
That's hard core.
9. Haters gonna hate

Although many of the "True Blood" stars tried to stay tight-lipped at the season 4 premiere screening in Los Angeles on June 21, some of the actors did dish some spoilers about the new season of the HBO hit series.
From right here in the Kingdom of Texas !
It's never too late to jump on the True Blood bandwagon.
The sexy bayou-country vampire soap begins its fourth season on HBO at 8 p.m. Sunday, picking up precisely where the story left off last year. That might make it seem somewhat daunting for newbies to join in on the bloody good time that "Truebies" have been having all along.
After all, the many complex characters and tangled plot threads will require a steep learning curve. But it's worth the effort -- and once you get a taste of True Blood, it's easy to get hooked.
"A lot of people have told me they jumped on the bandwagon after getting the DVDs and watching them all in one or two days," says Sam Trammell, who plays shape-shifting roadhouse owner Sam Merlotte.
A marathon watching fest is the ideal course of action if you want to bone up before Sunday's return episode. The first three seasons all are available on DVD.
But if you insist on diving right into the deep end, we at least can offer this primer so you won't be completely lost in the woods.
Not like I'm obsessed with True Blood or anything, but with Season 4 debuting on Sunday, here's a map I whipped up for my next mental vacation to my favorite city. Feel free to tag along for a quick tour of the following local landmarks:
Merlotte's: Any visit to Bon Temps would have to start here. Its the unofficial center of town and appears to have a stranglehold on the local liquor business. Almost everybody works here: Sam runs the place, Arlene and Randy, Sookie, and Jessica (nightshifts), Sam's little brother (until recently), Lafayette and Tara (when she isn't being held captive by depression or vampires.)
