True Blood

By Caitlin Petrakovitz Fall TV season is here, including our first look at Supernatural's version of the Prince of Darkness and some vampires who scribble in their diaries. And witness the grand finale of this season's True Blood. Vampire Diaries - Sunday:

Dragon*Con 2009 welcomes Charlaine Harris, the author of the Sookie Stackhouse Southern vampire novels (from Dead Until Dark through her latest novel, Dead and Gone, a recent New York Times hardback #1 bestseller) as well as the Harper Connelly, Lily Bard, and Aurora Teagarden myster...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wellreadreview - A friend of mine understood I was not a fan of the Twilight series due to the “cheese” factor, misguided immature emotions, and well – to be frank – horrible writing, recommended the Southern Vampire/True Blood...

By marta@martaacosta.com (Marta) Read a review of HBO's new season of "True Blood." "One of the many excellent things about True Blood this season is the way it finds new uses for old characters. Last season, for instance, Andy was just another good/bad ol’ boy police officer, but now he’s like the official Bon Temps Voice of R...

By Jennifer Thomas So Lafayette is also having dreams about Eric and Eric can fly. Good times. Sookie, unfortunately, hasn't used her sparkly new power again. All of HBO's Sunday night shows are taking a night off next week, so the "True Blood" season finale is Sept. 13.

By marta@martaacosta.com (Marta) If they had a clue what drives viewers to the show, they'd have websites dedicated to Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman and they'd pay tribute to wonderful Charlaine Harris, who inspired legions of devoted fans. Charlaine's name is nowhere to be found on their sites and marketing mate...

By Peter Hall I don’t think that TRUE BLOOD is a better show than BUFFY – I’ve yet to put on random episodes of TRUE BLOOD to cheer myself up, after all – but to pretend that the latter is the only game in town (particularly years after its broadcast store front was shuttered) reeks of nothing more than pledg...

By Geoff Boucher Don't worry, no spoilers here...but I will tell you the second season shows a lot of promise. The bright spots of the cast are again Rutina Wesley as Tara Thorton and Nelsan Ellis as Lafayette Reynolds and Stephen Moyer continues to add surprising layers to Bill Compton, the vampire with...

LOS ANGELES — Vampires have taken over the Los Angeles Times. Beneath the masthead of Friday print editions is a full front-page ad for the HBO's series "True Blood." A black-and-white close-up of star Stephen Moyer with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth dominates the page.

 CA Season 2 begins right where we left off – Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Sookie (Anna Paquin) screaming with a drunk Andy, finding a body in his car. Sam joins them while they identify the body and the show delivers a wild ride for the next hour. ...

By address-withheld@my.opera.com.invalid (Georgius the Peasant) What is True Blood? Well, it's Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, which I've not seen) and HBO's attempt at a fantasy-show, more specifically a vampire-show, based on a series of books by Charlaine Harris. It is also, I believe at least to some extent, one of their more successful efforts of getting...

By Jennifer Thomas So now we see what happens when a vampire gets too much of a tan. As fruitless as it was for Bill to try and save Sookie by going out in the sunlight, at least he tried. I was happy that it ended up being Sookie who saved herself in the end from Rene (with a little help from Sam and a shovel.)

By Annie As night falls, Sookie comes to on her couch and beams at Tara, Lafayette and Sam, who are standing over her. She's drugged out of her gourd on pain meds and babbles about how pretty Tara looks and Sam saving her life because he's a dog, so of course nobody takes her seriously. She tries to focus a...

By Jennifer Thomas Sookie's (Anna Paquin) superpower isn't the ability to read minds, it's the ability to be mad at the wrong person at the wrong time. She's surly to Sam (Sam Trammell) when he likes her, but all snuggly once she finds out he's been with Tara (Rutina Wesley). A few episodes back, she blew up at Tar...

By Jennifer Thomas Sookie: "I used to scratch your belly in the parking lot at the bar." Eric and Bill are surprised to find out how Jessica turns out. Sookie turns to Sam for comfort -- and a little smooching. When Tara lands in jail, Maryann (the woman on the road) turns up to help.

With True Blood on HBO and the film version of Twilight on the horizon, vampires are the new zombies. Bloodsuckers are hot, baby. Stick your neck out for this Swedish horror show.

By Marta(marta@martaacosta.com) Review of "True Blood." "Based on Magnolia native Charlaine Harris’ Southern vampire series of novels, the show is a trash novel come to life. Characters are caricatures of old Southern types: The fiery barmaid. The over-sexed ne’er do-well." (Arkansas Times)

If I'm HBO, I'm worried. Much hyped "True Blood" pretty much tanked Sunday night - too early for me to think of any lame metaphors about vampires and blood and the dismal ratings state of this new-comer (so the headline will have to do.) It was seen by only 1.4 million subs on Sunday, and while - I k...

By Marta(marta@martaacosta.com) Review of "True Blood." "Set in a backwater Louisiana town called Bon Temps, the show features characters, events and dialogue that seem right out of a Tennessee Williams play -- provided the playwright had turned his pen to the paranormal. Call it 'Vamp on a Hot Tin Roof.'" (Chicago Sun-Tim...

HBO thinks it's being daring with its new show "True Loved." But it comes across as more of the same, and with less bite than previous vamp shows.

RATING: (POLITE APPLAUSE) True Blood: Drama. 9 p.m. Sundays on HBO. There are several obvious things the new HBO vampire series "True Blood" has going for it. One, it's about vampires. Two, it's from Alan Ball ("Six Feet Under"). And three, if you mix a genre...
