'True Blood' season premiere: Did you bite?

What did you guys think of last nights episode ? I will create a post out of some of the best responses ..

from EW

What a great way to get a second season of True Blood going. Sookie, Bill, Jason, Tara, Sam -- all the major characters charged into new story-lines with some fresh-blood supporting characters to jump-start the action.

I liked the way that bratty, new-vampire Jessica has returned and is already getting in the way of Sookie and Bill's relationship. "I had to create a vampire as reparation for the one I destroyed to save you," said Bill to Sookie, coming perilously close to adding, "Don't blame me, girlie -- I did it for you." Good thing he didn't, because our Sookie would have given him a piece of her mind.

Meanwhile, one of the most heartening aspects of True Blood's new season is the way Tara has become a more fully-rounded character. She's not just the angry, grumpy gal she was most of last season. Grappling with her mother's alcoholism and coming to terms with her own unhappiness has made her more vulnerable. And thus susceptible to the charms of Maryann. Who also has a past with our beastie-boy Sam. (By the way, how great is it to see Michelle Forbes in a role that really shows her range?)
