True Blood News - Season 4 news and spoilers

Andy gives us his view on what's really going on in Bon Temps.

HBO On Demand posted Episode 301 (titled “Bad Blood”) with enhanced viewing from last season of True Blood. “Enhanced Viewing” means they provided Hints, FYIs, Flash Forwards and Flashbacks and also character perspectives where a character pops up and provides their own commentary. (Flashbacks include the minisodes and scenes from previous seasons).

We recorded just the commentary bits from Andy (Chris Bauer), Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) and Tommy (Marshall Allman). If you do not have the Blu-ray and are thinking about purchasing it, you should. Alcide (Joe Manganiello) also does commentary for Season 3, but his comments do not start until he appears in the 3rd episode.

Enjoy!

It’s full steam ahead for season 4 of True Blood. So now’s the time (with season 3 hitting the shelves yesterday, May 31, 2011) to catch up on our favorite Bon Temp telepathic waitress for season 4.

David Bianculli for “npr” gives a  great review and reminds us where we last saw Sookie Stackhouse in season 3 and discusses just how many other creatures are making their way to Bon Temps and other shows that are heading to this new decade of television.

So where are you going to get your True Blood Season 3 DVD or Blu-ray? We’ve been keeping an eye out for special offers and we want to pass them on to you. It will not be available for purchase until Tuesday, May 31st. You can pre-order your set if you don’t want to miss out.

As we have told you in the past, if you buy your set from HBO.com, you can get an exclusive bonus disc of all of the Truebies & Newbies (Sookie & Alcide, Bill & Coot, Eric & Russell, Tara & Franklin, Jason & Crystal, Lafayette & Jesus, and Jessica & Debbie).

In today’s sales ads, there are also exclusive offers from Target and Best Buy. If you buy it at Target you can choose the cover of the box you want – they have the standard set with the group shot, or just Stephen Moyer (Bill), Anna Paquin (Sookie) or Alexander Skarsgård (Eric), but you will have to hurry because the special covers won’t last long.

Be sure to grab a copy of US Weekly tomorrow – their Hot Bodies of 2011 issue is out and it features two of True Blood’s lovelies…Joe Manganiello and Rutina Wesley!

E! News aired a sneak peek at the magazine tonight and we’ve got the video. The Hot Bodies issue will be done annually and this is the first one – so congrats to Joe & Rutina for making the inaugural issue!

UPDATE: Gallery added of pictures from US Weekly Magazine’s website and also from the magazine itself. Since they printed pictures of Stephen Moyer (in the Small Screen Hunks section) and the Alexander Skarsgård in the New on DVD section, we thought we’d include it here as well in the gallery.

You can see Joe & then Rutina at the 1:28 mark.
