By dennis There's been a lot of discussion around here of whether or not True Blood has been de-gayed this year. I don't have a strong opinion on that one way or the other, but one thing I have noticed: As the show moves beyond the source material from the Charlaine Harris novels on which it is based, Alan...

By snicks If last week's episode of HBO's True Blood was the best of the season, then this week's episode was ... well ... certainly the most over-the-top outing. While some of it didn't work, there was enough to tilt the arrow upward.

By snicks He started with the show's fierce gay twosome Lafayette and Pam, and this week moved on to supercouple Bill and Sookie. He'll release two more characters after each week's episode, so hopefully we'll see Eric, Hoyt, Tara, Maryann, Sam and Jason before the season ends.

By snicks Best.Episode.Ever. Well, it certainly ranks up there with the best episodes of the series, with a kick-ass Lafayette, some juicy developments in the Bill/Sookie/Eric triangle, and the ending ... which is hands down the best scene this show has ever given us.

By snicks The results of the Entertainment Weekly poll on favorite vampires have been announced, with Robert Pattinson leading the way.

By brian Taking our cue from the makeovers in this week's gloriously unhinged episode of True Blood, Andy and I run ourselves through the magical style machine ... to less-than-desirable results.

By snicks The second season of HBO's True Blood continues its stellar start with an episode that has Lafayette bargaining for his life, Jason conjuring up my bad memories of Vacation Bible School, and the still-mysterious Maryann dealing with a severe case of the munchies.
