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...

True Blood review: Queen of Yahtzee, an egg for Eggs in Frenzy

Written 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.

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...

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...

Review: 'True Blood' season finale, 'You'll Be the Death of Me'

26 Nov 2008 08:20:37 PST

Written 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.)

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...

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...

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.

Just as I never would stop watching "Entourage," it's hard for me to protest that I'm sick of the sex lives of vampires when entirely too much of my summer reading time was dedicated to four books of the "Twilight" series and the first part of Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries, w...

Opinion: "True Blood"-less

10 Sep 2008 06:39:23 PDT

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...
