I am – Hercules!!

Lizzie Caplan and a vampire sheriff! The next six episodes of “True Blood,” already renewed for season two …

Episode #3: "Mine"
Debut: SUNDAY, OCT. 21
Foiled in their attempt to "glamour" Sookie, vampires Malcolm, Liam and Diane make a hasty retreat after Bill lays claim to the waitress. At Merlotte's, Sam seeks a short-term remedy to his long-term loneliness, while Tara seeks respite from her mother's alcohol-fueled rage. Spurned by Dawn for lack of performance, Jason turns to Lafayette, Merlotte's short-order cook, for help with his problem.
Written by Alan Ball; directed by John Dahl.


Episode #4: "Escape from Dragon House"
Debut: SUNDAY, OCT. 28
Another killing in Bon Temps finds Jason back in custody with officers Andy and Bud. Tara gets him off the hook, but neither she nor Lafayette has the antidote to his current ailment. Urged by Gran to use her telepathic abilities to weed out the murderer and exonerate her brother, Sookie persuades Bill to take her to a Shreveport vampire bar called Fangtasia, where she impresses a dominant Nordic bloodsucker named Eric with her prescient powers. Later, Bill demonstrates his own considerable powers when an abusive patrolman stops the couple on their way home.
Written by Brian Buckner; directed by Michael Lehmann.


Episode #5: "Sparks Fly Out"
Debut: SUNDAY, OCT. 5
Spurned by an exasperated Sookie (Anna Paquin), Bill (Stephen Moyer) ends up winning over Adele's (Lois Smith) church audience with his vivid recollections from the Civil War, though Andy (Chris Bauer) and Bud (William Sanderson) remain suspicious. Sam (Sam Trammell) tries to make the most of his opportunity with Sookie, though she's clearly not ready to commit. Ignoring Tara's (Rutina Wesley) rebuff, Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) convinces Jason (Ryan Kwanten) to give vampire blood, aka "V juice," another shot. Alone at home, Bill remembers the painful wartime incident that changed his fate forever.
Written by Alexander Woo; directed by Daniel Minahan.


Episode #6: "Cold Ground"
Debut: SUNDAY, OCT. 12
Numbed by tragedy, Sookie looks for refuge from the cacophony of her friends' and neighbors' inner voices. After lashing out at his sister and decking Andy, Jason wrestles with withdrawal symptoms from his V juice habit. Tara resists the overtures of her mother Lettie Mae (Adina Porter), who's trying to rid herself of a demon and needs her daughter's help. Sam and Tara make a connection in their mutual search for "something real."
Written by Raelle Tucker; directed by Nick Gomez.


Episode #7: "Burning House of Love"
Debut: SUNDAY, OCT. 19
Sookie's painful childhood revelation about her Uncle Bartlett spurs Bill into action. Despite her skepticism, Tara agrees to pay for an exorcism to purge Lettie Mae of a demon. In search of V juice, Jason travels to Fangtasia, where he bonds with an adventurous young woman named Amy (Lizzy Kaplan). A trio of rednecks decide to exact vigilante justice on a pack of vampires who crashed Merlotte's in search of their wayward mate Bill.
Written by Chris Offutt; directed by Marcos Siega.


Episode #8: "The Fourth Man in the Fire"
Debut: SUNDAY, OCT. 26
Sookie tries to hold herself together in the wake of another possible tragedy. Tara is amazed by Lettie Mae's turnaround, and considers similar therapy for herself after lashing out at Sookie and Sam. Jason's new squeeze Amy charms the crowd at Merlotte's, but shows a darker side to Jason when their V juice well runs dry. Rene (Michael Raymond James) pops the question to Arlene (Carrie Preston) while Sookie is baby-sitting her kids. Later, at Bill's request, Sookie agrees to use her gifts to help Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), a powerful vampire sheriff, root out a thief at Fangtasia.
Written by Alexander Woo; directed by Michael Lehmann.

    We gotta wait until episode 5 of True blood to see Bill visiting the old folks home? That was the one thing that I was genuinely looking forward to. I have a feeling he is gonna tell a damned good story.

    I'm enjoying True Blood

    by spifftacular squirrel girl

    Liked the second episode much better than the first. It's not quite "must see" material yet but I'm going to keep watching especially now that we'll finally get a feel of what the other vampires are like considering the only one we're all that familiar with has been Bill so far.

    imascooby1985, I'm glad I am not alone...

    by the_breeze

    I think these guys are taking a page from the Battlestar Galactica playbook, because that was my first thought as well: I have to wait HOW long to see a vampire talking about historical events?! Episode FIVE?! If this show was real, historians and universities would be having kittens. Vampires would be paid consultants to historical movies, high-risk jobs, and all sorts of unusual things. Instead the show is blah, blah, blah, weird sex, blah, blah, blah, weird almost-sex, blah, one-sided fight, blah.

    I'm glad Vince is Tanking on Entourage

    by catlettuce4

    ...the fact that, week in and week out, the guy made obviously stupid and petulant career decisions was starting to grate on me. I realize that the show is supposed to be a fantasy. However, it simply made no sense that the character could keep pissing off studio executives and turning down roles and expect to stay on top.

    True Blood is truly shit

    by mgmax

    Southern stereotypes, trashy sex, old tired vampire ideas, unengaging characters. Complete waste of time, makes Carnivale look like John Adams.

    Does everybody who hates True Blood hate Anna Paquin in it.

    Because she really is great. Very very likable. So is the guy who plays the vampire.

    True Blood ... good stuff

    by mcpot

    You have a hot ass Anna Paquin, creepy Louisiana vamps, vamps screwing vamp ho's, gore, boobies, and Alan Balls writing. Good enough for me. Already renewed for second season means something is going right. Still miss Carnivale.

    I Wanna Sookie Sookie's Stackedhouse

    by laserpants

    Paquin is fucking gorgeous. Love the show so far; clearly a HUGE Buffy influence here, although the show is much more serious, not quite as jokey / cartoony.

    Buffy influence?

    by volllllume3

    I don't see it, apart from the vampires and the hot blonde lead. I'm thinking more of Vampire: The Masquerade and some Ann Rice (well before she went dog shit crazy) books

    Polar Opposites

    For me, this was the worst episode of True Blood yet (and I've been supportive). And it was the best episode of Entourage in a very long time.

    I said I'd give it a few more in the last TB, but this week's episode was just pure crap. I'm out.

    Wikipedia says...

    by ambush_bug

    ...True Blood's gonna have some crazy shit going on soon. According to the entry for the Sookie Stackhouse books, she ends up befriending the vampire sherrif Erik Northman (Erik The Viking... get it?), and falls in love with a werewolf named Alcide Herveaux who has a violent ex-girlfriend of some sort. Then she goes and bangs a weretiger named Quinn. In other words, she ends up fucking nearly every man/animal in the tri-state area besides Howard The Duck.

    True Blood is Crap

    by bitteralex

    Why the fuck is everyone so easy when it comes to vampires. That show is just one step above Buffy. The vampires are the same boring effected quasi-evil, oh so mysterious, gothic rockstar strutting cliche bullshit vampires we've been seeing in pop culture for 20 years now. People said this show had something, that it was different and original. Well if they believe that, they've been living in a bubble and haven't seen any vampire related film or TV since Bela Lugosi. The show is shit, the writing is horrible, the main vampire hero is just plain mopey and boring, and with the exception of maybe two cast members the acting is mediocre at best- Anna Paquin being the worst. If all you vampire fans really love vampire mythos so much, why don't you expect something better instead of just eating up any fanged turd Hollywood throws at you. Then the rest of us wouldn't have to sift through all this half ass sci-fi and fantasy horror shit so much to find a good one.
