Hey scurrdy cats I’m back with some horror fun! Tonight on HBO True Blood returns for its final blood sucking season. I love this campy vampy series that is so damn sexy, twisted, funny, & bloody. Repeat after me: I will NOT be recapping; but I want a fun place to come talk about the show with you all. I missed interacting with you all. So if you are an AHS fan you should be a True Blood fan as well so join in for some vampire fun. This may or may not be a regular feature here at TT because Tamara hates this kind of stuff; plus Big Brother starts this week. I thought it would be something fun and different for the “horror dramedy” crowd around here who are just sick of the Housewives. So this is my public service to get ya away from reality tv for an hour.
READ ALL OF URETHRA FRANKLIN’S POSTS HERE!
I can’t even remember how the show ended last season. So much happens at lightning speeds on the show, but it ended with some full frontal nudity of vampire Eric burned up by the sun on a snowcapped mountain top. Tonight expect zombie vampires infected with a mutated Hep-V vampire virus invading Bon Temps. Of course there is more with fairy-vampire hybrid freaks, werewolves, & fairies. And I can’t wait to see more with my favorite character, LaFayette; a ratchet flamboyant medium that is a short order cook who serves zingers & shade 24/7…… All crazy fun shit. Tune in tonight on HBO for True Blood and lets talk about it here.
I was bored until you mentioned full frontal. Even so….
I know this in not your cup of tea, so don’t even bother.
I watched way back when it first started for a bit, just to be one of the cool kids, I may check it out tonight…Nothing else on.

Have you never met porn? Porn, Tamara. Tamara, porn. I’ll just bet that the people on this show are prettier than most porn actors though. I don’t get HBO, but I did read the first 400 books she wrote. I stopped reading at 401 for obvious reasons.
FYI there seems to be a marathon running on HBO2 now…
Wow I just realized I have 7 HBO channels, and 1 HBO Latin. I did not realize I was paying for all these channels that I NEVER watch.
Anyway TB’s new show reruns tonight every hour on the hour for hours and hours on my DISH.
HBO is buy one get all the rest free.

Loved your A.H.S recaps sorry to hear you won’t be doing True Blood…
Thanks Marc. But I just don’t have the time or energy for a full on recap. Especially w/ Big Brother on the horizon.
It’s not about recaps these days. Its about TT’s readers interacting & entertaining each other, and to keep those page hits clicking for TT.
Let’s hope they end the series better than they did the books. Lafayette is my absolute favorite character as well.
If True Blood can be half as good as GoTs was, it’s going to be an amazing final season.
What is GoTs?????
Sorry about that. GoTs is Game of Thrones.
I regret not getting on the wagon earlier for GOT’s. I have never seen an episode, though I am certain I will love it.
Not seen any of GoTs? I’m almost jealous of you. I highly suggest binging if you ever get the time.
O…M…G you’ve never seen game of thrones….Urethra you have GOT to find time to catch up!
GoT just had their best season ever. We got my inlaws hooked while visiting and they went home and did a marathon to get caught up in time to watch the finale.
OMG the theme song makes me so horny ” I Wanna Do Bad Things With You.”
Me too! It reminds me of Chris Issac’s “wicked games”
The first season or 2 I thought it was Chris Issac. In my mind I visualize Chris Isaac from his Wicked Games era singing it.
But lets give credit to Jace Everett because he sings it.
Good to see you here again UF. Being chained to a basement radiator sounds similar to being ‘silvered’ in TRue Blood. Makes me wonder about TT. Is she your Maker? A werewolf? What power does she hold over you? I don’t think she’s from the Fairie branch of BonTemps. I think she is special breed unto herself. 😉
BTW, you’re right about the theme song, and I love the opening montage. Havent seen last nights epi yet but it’s good to know there will be a place to comment later.
NOOOOOO not Tara. She was one of my favorites. #TrueDeath
I felt cheated. It would have been much more powerful to see it happen.
I’ve read all the Sookie Stackhouse books, and up til about 3/4 of the first season then they started to deviate from the books!
TT you mean to tell us, that you seen true blood and all it’s full frontal nudity and sex! Woooo you are missing vampire & fairy sex, fairy and werewolf sex, human and were panther sex and everything else….
I am with Urethra, LaFayette is my favorite, the scenes with his boyfriend are AMAZING!
As LaFayette would say, “Yous hookers is my kinda bitches.”
What’s your name?
Go FUCK YOURSELF…..
I love cunty Pam….
“I’ll be in Hell having a 3 way with the Devil”—-Pam
I just realized that LaFayette is prettier than Nene. #TrueShade
hahahahahahaha I think you just might be right Gotta watch the final season since I’ve watched from the beginning. So shows were just too damn hard to watch and didn’t make a whole lot of sense. I watch WAY too much TV. Did love the Jason Violet car scene… Even watching, I missed Tara’s true death.
I thought Lafayette was gonna get lucky with Jessica’s boyfriend. Kinda bummed that didn’t happen.
YASSS…some hot nasty primal vampire sex on a hood of car. #TrueSex
Oh LAWD someone please turn Tara’s mom into a Vampire. That would be epic.
I want to go to Marakesh. #TrueTravels
I want to go to Marrakesh with Pam.
Urethra, I’m almost there with my hacksaw. Keep the faith.
Dang Sookie has got a tight nekid body. #TrueWoman
You guys suck I’m pissed off!!! How you going to change this show from vh1 to hbo I waited all day for no reason
um huh?
It’s never been on vh1, unless you were watching heavily edited reruns, because as far as I know it’s always been on HBO…
Yup, has always been on HBO.
Oh look people chained in the basement. Looks familiar but I’m not under no threat of blood suckers.
Appropriately I ate a hunk of blood red velvet cake, and I guzzled it down with 2 fuzzy navels. Me no feel so good. #True
Loved this show but it jumped the shark long ago. I honestly don’t know how this season will go. It felt like the season finale last season was a series finale. I am only watching because I’ve watched from the start, I have to know how it ends.
I agree, that shark done got jumped! Once Alan Ball left, what was already going bad got a lot worse. I’m hoping since it’s the final season they might right some wrongs and end things with a bang.
The plot has definitely gone down hill. I watch because I want to see it through to the end. I liked the James/ Lafayette talk and I like watching Pam. The rest are boring and filler time for me. The sex is so contrived.
So am I the only one around here that watches every single RuPaul show on tv?
Drag race, drag u and one other that my fibro fog just won’t let me remember right now….
I watch drag race too! drag u and untucked etc I skip mostly because it feels like milking the cash cow and stretching a good thing too thin sometimes.
Love Willam especially, epic wit. If you haven’t seen it yet he had this show on youtube called Willam’s beatdown, my god that shit was funny.
I love me some Willam B! I stalk him on facebook and watch his movies, as well as his HILARIOUS utube bids!
You skip UnTucked? Bitch, get yourself over to Logo and watch all the UnTucks. NOW! Seriously, they can be better than the show at times. This seasons UT were great because you had Bianca’s mouth going non-stop or her laughing at something someone said. Bianca’s laugh is the best!
OMG I want Bianca to be my best friend and give me that shade all day. I love her.
UF, you’re a Bianca fan too? I want Bianca to get a show on HBO, some sort of improv-variety type deal. All her guest will be drag queens and celebrity’s.
Did you see where if you donate $1,000 toward her movie, she will do a personal insult video? She’s posted several online and they are awesome!
Reddit.com has a very active and very fun DragRace sub. They also have a Bianca sub too. Many of the queens have stopped in to do AMAs (ask me anything), Mimi Imfurst and Darienne Lake were there recently. I’m brillke there too, stop in and check it out.
It was an intriguing premiere, but I feel like we’re going to lean on the very emotional side in terms of a season. I think it’s because it’s the finale season. It wasn’t the most exciting, but I am excited for the season to unfold. I wonder if the captives are going to be there the entire season. There has to be more than that, no? Maybe that’s just the first half…
Even though the the show lost some of it’s awesomeness the more seasons it pumped out, I can’t wait! It is so campy, witty, sexy and light. Love the show.
I agree with everythang you said except the “light” part.
What I do love about the show is how cleverly the writers use allegory with the vampire story lines about love, death, religion, homosexuality, racism, politics, big business all wrapped up in one big darkly sexy ass series.
But excuse me because I’m still grieving for Tara.
Yes, agreed with UF! I LOVE the allegory of it all. I know last season wasn’t well-received, but I liked the issues they brought up with religion and government as well (in reference to the vampire council).
Not to mention the real life love story before our very eyes! Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Bill falling in love in real life, getting married and having twins just last year (omg, Ann’s body really snapped back, cause she is HOT! )
Hey JD, yes that season was interesting with the Vampire Council; plus all the religious metaphors to divinity especially with that bloody crazy banshee screaming Lillith.
I just finished watching the new episode, I live in Greece so I have to get creative with how I watch american television!
Poor Tara, she sure died fast lol, especially considering last time they killed her it took many episodes and she ended up “living” anyway. Not completely related but I always thought the actress that played Tara had the most beautiful eyes.
I say light because while True Blood is quality TV it is not as serious or dark as say another quality show like Shameless is. Gore aside the writing doesn’t take itself too seriously, that’s what I meant with light. Also other shows like Glee also tackle the same issues, but it takes itself nauseatingly seriously, which TB does not.
Ah ok Din, I gotcha there! Yeah, True Blood can be kinda campy in their jokes. They have a nice balance of giving us some social commentary and also some campy fan service!
The main antagonist from last season, Salome, is actually representing a real person from the Bible, UF! :O So cool how her character reveals a much more savage version of the Biblical story of how she demands the head of John the Baptist!
It’ll be interesting to see what type of social commentary they touch on this season. It’s always my favorite part of the series!
JD that is interesting detail to know. I did not know that specifically, but yes most people don’t realize those undertones of the show. I know they’re there; somet are obvious, some are not. But I now you are one smart dude.
Completely unrelated, but UF, I am loving your Gravatar!!!! Reminds me of Kenya doing the same move for her photo-shoot, featured on every opening montage. Except yours is way better and so much funnier!
LOL I never even realized that Emma, but your’e right about the Kenya pose.
But actually my avatar is a parody picture of Grace Jones’ album cover for “Island Life”. I am a HUGE fan of hers. She is the original & the queen of performance art. Google her album cover and see…and pssss–though I’m chubbyesque, that is not me in the pic…
I love True Blood and I love that Sookie is with Alcea now. He’s so hot!!!
Did anyone notice just how much Sookie was reading people’s thoughts this episode? Way more than ever before. Wonder if this is going to become a big focus this season? I can’t believe Tara is dead either. I don’t think they will let her “stay” dead. Between Lafayette and Lettie Mae, I think we will see Tara again maybe not in the real or vampire realm but I think she’ll be there somehow.
Hannah you are late to the party, but always welcome.
I too think that the Tara will appear again on TB. I hope we haven’t seen the last of her yet. I bet her zealot momma is gonna have some come to Jesus hallucinations that involve Tara. Side note, I think Tara is gorgeous and her body is SICK.
I know UF. The story of my life …a day late and a dollar short lol. I agree Tara is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favs. It sucks big ones that she was killed off first episode. She has been on the show for the whole time and should get to participate in the final season. Just my opinion.
It really seems like you guys are talking about me in here. Thanks for noticing my hotness, but I’m not dead.
Oh wait… you said TARA….
Nevermind.

Color me disappointed. WTH? I doubt Tara’s really “dead.” The whole thing seemed like disjointed filler. Andy, so out of character for him to not be tearing up the place looking for Holly. I am going to stick it out like so many of you are because I watched it from the beginning, and I am hoping this first episode of the last season is simply laying the groundwork for something better. And Bill looks …I don’t know. Old? Maybe I am just missing Eric.
Did anyone catch the interviews before the show? Rutina Wesley stated what she loved about TB is that not all characters who die stay dead. I am hopeful she is referring to her character Tara!
…..and I hope that goes for vampire Eric too.
The writers confirmed we would see ALOT of Eric this season. They just didn’t say in what capacity. I’m thinking flashback montages.
I read the books when the show started on season 2. The show currently deviates from the books greatly which is why I still watch it. Want to see what direction the writers will take the characters. The first episode didn’t wow me, and I don’t think Tara is dead. Pam did not feel it, and she could have glamored her mother into thinking so after killing the vampire that attacked them.
