True Blood Season 4 Crossword Puzzle - Episode 1 " She not there "

Thanks thanks Kristie !!!
Post a little thanks to Kristie in comments if you appreciate all her effort!

SHE'S NOT THERE

Go Ask Dallas : What on earth does Becky in Hotshot say she'll share with Jason ?

 Q: What the heck in a hangubber ?

A: Becky says to Jason " You want the rest of my hangubber?

Sandbox dictionary says : 

han•gub•ber [HAN-guh-br] noun.
A beef patty, fried or grilled, usually served on a bread bun that sometimes comes with cheese.  "I want a hangubber and french fries!" Has also be pronounced hagenberger, hambugger or cheesegubber

Just a kids mispronunciation of hamburger ??? 

** From Dead to the World ..I wondered if I was at the right crossroads, but my doubts were
washed away when I saw an imitation green road sign, the kind you can order from a novelty company,
mounted on a pole in front of one of the homes. It read, HOTSHOT. 

Portia Bellefleur business card - Lancaster & Bellefleur Law Offices

Here is the business card that Portia gives Sookie at Merlotte's .

I find it interesting that HBO hasn't bought this URL - maybe someone ought to ???

Here is a little info on Sid Matt Lancaster , Portia's partner. We see him in almost every book. He is describes as "Sidney Matthew Lancaster,native son and a whiskey

sour drinker, had the reputation of being the most aggressive trial lawyer in the parish. I liked him because he always treated me with respect when I served him in the bar." and "Sid Matt Lancaster, an ancient and renowned lawyer"

At right --we see Sid Matt in True Blood Season 2 Ep 1 ( played by George Gerdes) when he comes to give Sookie money after Uncle Bartlette's death.

'True Blood' Recap: Let's Do the Time Warp

Nice recap from Rolling Stone 

Sookie Stackhouse, Eric Northman, Bill Compton and the rest of the supernatural crew fast forward for season four's premiere

"She's Not There," the first episode of True Blood's fourth season, thrusts us right into the mayhem and supernatural madness we were trying to figure out when last season came to an end. We begin with Sookie Stackhouse crossing over into faerie land, and get adequately briefed on the ins and outs of faeries, witches, werepanthers and shape-shifters — but it's the vampire storyline that remains most compelling (Spoiler Alert: Bill Compton and Eric Northman's power switch has a lot to do with it). Though this season, like its predecessors, closely follows the same numbered volume of Charlaine Harris' best-selling Sookie Stackhouse novels, the series runs the risk of confusion over camp with the ever-increasing number of characters it introduces. Here, the first of our weekly species-by-species recaps of True Blood, season four:

True Blood’s season premiere sneaks up on you from behind

Oh and I am very happy again to report that the wonderful Meredith Woerner has agreed to return this season to Talk Blood Radio - hold on to your hat this recap is HILARIOUS !

 True Blood is back! The first episode of the season started with a bang that rocketed us all to Faerieville. But don't worry, it had us back in time to be sexually assaulted by Eric.
Now, let's break down this episode the best way possible. With the True Blood Pro/Con list.
Pro: Sookie is in faerie land with her protector or Faerie Godmother, and old Sooks has an earful for her. "If your job is to look after me, can I just say you suck?" Yes. Yes you can, Sookie. Not that we would expect anything less from you. Enter a new realm and immediately become a total dickhead and insult this new magical band of people right off the bat. But she is 100% right here. Claudine is the worst Faerie Godmother in the history of Faerie Godmothers. Where was Claudine with the lecture about preventative measure one can take to protect themselves from vampire dirt sex UTIs? Nowhere, that's where.

Ep. 37 – Inside the Episode

True Blood Recap: It’s Sookie O’Clock

The interminable wait is over and the lovable scamps of Bon Temps are back. After a third season full of werewolves, Nazis, and the fabulous Vampire King of Mississippi, True Blood is ready to hit us with the good stuff. Witches! A self-empowered Sookie! Bill and Eric making nice with humans! Hoyt and Jessica, shacking up! Tara's a lesbian named Toni, from Atlanta? A-Ball, you have our interest. Let's do this.
Don't Eat the Light Fruit
In Fairyland, where Sookie popped to in the season finale, every hour is magic hour and everyone's always happy and eating big, glowy peaches that look like they came from Ikea. It’s full of familiar faces. Look, there's Barry, the telepathic bellboy, accompanied by his fairy godfather, who appears to be wearing a macramé blouse. Who’s that, taking a big bite out of a light fruit? It's Sooks's twenty-years-gone Grandaddy — a pleasant surprise.

Can witches beat vampires? The new season of ‘True Blood’ gets bewitched

Something wicked this way comes with the fourth season of “True Blood,” which premiered on HBO last night. In the season opener, she ventured from Bon Temps to meet her, um, fairy godmother, and it looks like she may be pursuing a romance with Eric, according to costar Stephen Moyer. (Watch a preview above.)
But an equally intriguing storyline has Lafayette flirting with his witch-like characteristics. Season 4, based loosely on Charlaine Harris’ soapy novel “Dead to the World,” brings more witches into the mix, and Sunday's premiere had Lafayette being persuaded by hunky boyfriend Jesus (Kevin Alejandro) to join a coven.
The Cheat Sheet: 'True Blood' Season 4
“I’d say the witches certainly pose the greatest threat to the vampires that we’ve seen yet,” executive producer Alexander Woo told the Hollywood Reporter.

Recaps of Episode 1 and 2 recaps from EW

Back for good (or evil)

 Sookie returns from the fairy realm and learns life has moved on without her

The wait is over, and after all the footage HBO showed us in promos, including the first eight minutes of the season 4 premiere, we still got a few surprises: The biggest and best being that Sookie had been in the fairy realm -- a façade of silk, chiffon, and lace (like pastel week on Dancing With the Stars when every couple is doing the rumba) -- for a year and two weeks. Much has changed.
Like America in every global disaster movie, Sookie was apparently the only one smart enough to figure out that the near-orgasmic “light fruit” being served in the fairy plane was a trap. She tried to warn Barry the Bellboy from season 2, another recent arrival, but he bit into the forbidden fruit before she could stop him. I hope he will be very happy with his fairy godmother Lloyd. I know I would be.

'True Blood' recap: The ties that bind

It sucks to be a Stackhouse right about now

Note: Because the July 3 episode of True Blood is available to HBO GO subscribers now, we are publishing our recap of the episode early.
This is the episode fans of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels -- and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) acting human in True Blood's second season -- have been waiting for: amnesia has struck. But before we start fantasizing that Alan Ball will incorporate a certain shower scene from Harris' Dead to the World into his tale (or was Eric walking in on Sookie post-shower in the season premiere the only homage we'll get?), let's analyze the reality of our situation.

True Blood: Big Changes for Sookie and Her Supernatural Friends

As evidenced by True Blood's season 4 premiere Sunday night, a lot has changed since fans last saw Sookie Stackhouse and the residents of Bon Temps.

Sookie begins the episode in a glowing Eden-like fairyland that exists on an alternate plane and its own timeframe. There she meets her fairy godmother, Claudine – and runs into her grandfather, whom she hasn't seen in 20 years (though he thought it was only the day before). The idyllic scene quickly turns sinister when an evil fairy chases Sookie, who narrowly escapes back into her own,
