*Spoilers Ahead* Over seven seasons True Blood has had some ups, and lots of downs. After the show’s second season, the series seemed to over stuff the cast with people who were killed off in meaningless methods, rather than focusing on the development of the central characters. Who remembers the Sam and his family of […]
Sorry if you missed my sassy re-cap last week, but I did not have much to add. I figured I would chime in on the second to last True Blood ever because, True Blood is making the last season of Dexter look like Shakespeare. Is Bill going to die? I honestly hope the answer to […]
I will try not to be a bitter fan, but this show is ending on such a mediocre note, and making Dexter’s final season look like Shakespeare, and that is saying a lot. I guess I did not let go of my bitterness especially since my first sentence about this past Sunday’s episode was riddled […]
The season’s allegory for Hep-V as a type of HIV/AIDS is interesting. With Sarah Newlin and co. behind the creation of this disease there is the thought or connection that like Hep-V, HIV/AIDS were human made diseases meant to wipe out a population, but what about the other victims? This week explores that topic on […]
Let’s Celebrate the Dead Alcide’s dad and girlfriend come to Bon Temps to honor his death. Along with Alcide they throw a massive party to celebrate their lives and the lives saved and brought back home. The highlights of the party: Lettie Mae gives a beautiful toast to the passing of Tara, Adina Porter has […]
Death and Exposition With the death of Alicide it was time for Sookie to let his father know, in a rare heartfelt moment you see him shed some grief. Jason calls Hoyt in Alaska, to tell him his mother was killed. If you don’t remember, which I didn’t Hoyt had his memory of Jason taken […]

Best Pre-Credits Intro Ever…. All right, I may be biased, but True Blood opened on Eric, the talented Alexsander Skarsgard who was last seen burning, and his fate was unknown. Well Jason found him! Eric and Jason start to banter, and then one of the hottest man on man sex scenes takes place. I needed […]
Before the Re-Cap/Review, let’s talk about six seasons of a roller coaster ride, up and down. The first two seasons had a small focus, mainly the town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, and the show worked. In season 3 there was an additional supernatural creature, the werewolf, and the show split its time between Bon Temps […]
If you want to read an in-depth review of the final episode of True Blood, check out the AV Club’s insightful dismantling of the shows conventions or io9’s cheerful recounting of the climactic deaths. True Blood is not a show that I spend enough of my brain on to be able to really comment on […]
… and the True Blood gifts just keep giving! I gotta say, I am really enjoying the play out with the Eric amnesia thing, mainly the almost sadistically innocent way that Alexander Skarsgaard grins out Eric’s nigh-constant “sorry”s to Sookie. On top of that, is it just me or is Bill way cooler this season? […]
True Blood is not a show built on sophisticated plotting. It is a show built on charisma (I’m looking at you, Eric), audacity (I’m looking at you, crazy Marianne-inspired orgies), and romance. The plots themselves rarely make perfect sense, and often seem to be just crazy plot twist built upon crazy plot twist, merely for […]
The Bachelorette: She picked the right guy. They rode off into the sunset. I got simultaneously jealous and then ashamed of myself. It was pretty standard. Except that she let the other guy go before the last day, causing the producers to have to scramble for a new dramatic ending. I kinda liked that, it […]
In some of the greatest casting news I’ve heard in a long time, True Blood has finally realized the potential of Kristen Bauer. As the slightly villainous and oh so devious Pam, Bauer steals every seen she’s in. While most of this past season’s True Blood love was directed toward Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric (and rightly […]
After waiting weeks for the finale of True Blood, I found myself having to wait a few more days in eager anticipation of the finale. What keep me waiting? Honestly, I had other priorities such as the Big Brother finale, the season premiere of Gossip Girl, and the series premiere of Vampire Diaries (okay that […]
I think I’m in love with this season of True Blood. I’ve mostly let Tim take over reviewing duties, because I’ve been crazy busy and watching it on a crappy site, and because Tim does a kick ass job recapping and highlighting what has been so awesome about this season of True Blood, but don’t […]
Dear True Blood, I had no idea you read our blog! I’m so excited to see you’ve finally taken my advice. It was just over a week ago when I asked that you not spoil the ending of your cliffhangers through previews for next weeks episode. Just when I was about to stop the DVR […]
After a 3 episode slump, True Blood is back to on the hot tamale train (don’t judge me…I’m far too excited for SYTYCD tonight). Everything is about to blow up in Louisiana and things aren’t looking to great down in Texas either. The entire season has been leading up to a confrontation between Sookie the […]
Hey there HBO execs, I’m a patriot. I’m all for America. I spent the Fourth of July not one hundred feet away from the Liberty Bell and the steps that Sylvester Stallone famously ran up to train for his big comeback in Rocky, getting, I admit it, a little teary eyed as I heard Barack […]
Last fall I started watching True Blood simply because I had a free month subscription to HBO. Every Sunday night I was accompanied by my 5 roommates as we were all oddly drawn into this ridiculous show. “Sookie is mine!” became a popular phrase in this apartment. Sadly, as the weeks progressed the roomies started […]
