By now, you've had a chance to digest the first episode of True Blood Season 2, and we know that you're thirsting for more. And while creator Alan Ball might have gotten one cliffhanger out of the way, he's opened a Pandora's box of questions for fans. Your favorite characters have been resurrected and they are definitely making up for lost time. This season finds Sookie and Bill trying to keep their relationship afloat and stay alive in Dallas, Jason joining an anti-vampire cult, and Tara taking up with a total goddess who likes to party more than she does.
Lucky for you we have something to satiate your hunger for answers until your next True Blood fix. We recently hopped on a conference call with Alan Ball, who was able to shed some light on the gory storyline, on who could be this season's newest villain, and on why we all find vampires impossible to resist.
On up-ing the gory and sexy goodness this season:
Personally, there's a scene where Sookie and Bill make love in the first episode that [on the page] said, "Sookie and Bill make love," and then I saw the dailies – you know I wasn't there when they shot it – and I went, "Oh wow! Okay!"
But, you know, I love it. I think that's part of what the appeal of the show is. I don't think we do anything gratuitously, but it's important to show there is this incredible erotic chemistry. These two people who thought that they had no chance to ever have a real love affair and they found each other, and there's something fantastic and mind-blowing about that.
I did feel like it was important to make Eric more frightening, to see his more monstrous side, because as the season progresses we also see his more human side…Vampires are capable of being monsters and violent. And it was important to have the character, that will remain nameless, who has to deal with all that to suffer from a kind of PTSD over the season because you don't just want to have all that horrible gore and awful psychological experience for him and have him be okay the next day. That's not the way it happens in life.

You just can't put the books down, and the same has to be said for the
show.They are both different.But two sides of the same thing.I love
both and don't want to give up either.
AB keeps saying this show is for fun, but there was little of fun in this first episode of season 2. I guess Eric's hair in foil was supposed to be funny, but after waiting all these months to see him (and only him), that small amount he was in the show was a real disappointment. The fact that he also looked silly, got stabbed in the face, and tore the jerk apart really didn't help. I wanted to see a hot Viking vampire!
