True Blood: The Complete Third Season, preorder
HBO Home Entertainment is promising an immersive fan experience with its Blu-ray Disc version of True Blood: The Complete Third Season, offering nearly double the bonus content found with the second season.
The bulk of the extras come with the show’s enhanced viewing mode, which offers such features as character perspectives, in which characters from the show (in this case Jessica, Andy, Tommy and Alcide) pop up to discuss a scene with the audience; a flashback/flash forward mode, in which past or future scenes that relate to the current scene are played; as well as vampire histories and character bios. Viewers can skip from bonus event to bonus event.
New to the third season is “True Blood Lines,” an interactive on-screen guide that highlights the connections between the many worlds in the series.
These Blu-ray extras come in addition to the standard-DVD extras, which include a featurette about the show’s use of werewolves; "True Blood" Post Mortem vignettes; end-of-episode guides for bonus helpings of “True Blood”; Snoop Dogg’s “Oh Sookie” music video; and seven audio commentaries.
The five-disc set is due May 31 at $79.98 (the DVD version is $59.99).

True Blood' Star Stephen Moyer Flips Car in Dramatic Racetrack Mishap
Anna Paquin breathed a sigh of relief on Friday after her husband and 'True Blood' co-star, Stephen Moyer, survived a dangerous crash behind the wheel of a race car in Southern California.
The 41-year-old actor rushed to be a guest driver at the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race, according to RadarOnline, on very little sleep.
Before the race, Moyer had reportedly been working on the set of HBO's 'True Blood' until 6 a.m. Friday, after which his only downtime was one hour of sleep that morning, plus a power nap around lunchtime Friday.
Moyer's crash occurred after a sharp bend when his car plowed into a tire barrier, rolling his car. The Long Beach Press-Telegram reports that his vehicle did a 360-degree flip before landing back on its tires. Moyer walked away, uninjured, and even gave a thumbs-up to the crowd.
He later told the press, "I want to apologize to the rest of the drivers for ruining everyone's qualifying session."

Great new 'Dead Reckoning' book review from the amazing Harriet Klausner
Dead Reckoning-Charlaine Harris
Dead Reckoning
Charlaine Harris
Ace, May 3 2011, $27.95
ISBN: 9780441020317
In Bon Temps, Louisiana, Sookie Stackhouse helps her cousin Claude the Fairy and Great-Uncle Dermot clean out the attic cluttered with generations of junk. Sookie becomes excited with finding a letter from her grandmother to her accompanied by a buried treasure.
Someone tosses a Molotov cocktail into Merlotte’s when the place is filled with customers. The police believe the motive is to get at the owner Sam Merlotte who has recently come out as a two-natured person. Sookie thinks the cops are wrong with their looking at the anti-shifter fanatics, but she has no idea who or what the motive is. At the same time Victor the vampire is causing problems for Sookie’s lover Eric Northman and his “child” Pam as the evil one’s antic is leading to business loss at Fangtasia. Eric and Pam plan to kill their master while Sookie joins them to keep them safe.
This a terrific transition thriller as several subplots are closed and new ones seem started. Super Sookie the sleuth has come a long way trusting in her abilities, but still is unable to read what makes others tick especially her lover the vampire who her instincts screams is about to embark on a dangerous quest. Fans of the series will relish this True Blood entry as Charlaine Harris provides another strong Cajun fantasy.

Red Riding Hood Arouses Man’s Inner (Were)Wolf
There have been ample opportunities over the past few years for explorations of the religious, cultural and artistic valence of the vampire, but it’s beginning to seem as if werewolves are every bit as worthy of our attention. We’ve learned a lot about them of late: in the CW Network’s The Vampire Diaries, HBO’s True Blood and the continued revelations in the Twilight films.
We know, for example, that werewolves are shape-shifters, much like vampires, though they are their sworn, almost genetically-determined enemy. But recently we’ve learned that they can also make treaties and commit themselves to truces, fragile though they inevitably are. Vampires and werewolves can have common enemies (like witches), articulate common purpose (survival, most obviously), or strive heroically and movingly against their natural antipathies. Their relationship looks a lot like the dance between capitalists and communists in the waning years of Soviet power. “Trust but verify” is their watchword.
