    wow i cant wait!!!!

  2. nothoney says:

    Whatever happens, this looks exciting!

  3. konfettii says:

    Holy shizz. Going to need some time to process all this.
    Tara looks…I don’t even know how to describe it. Not good. This is going to be painful to watch.
    Who was on fire there toward the end, anyone know?

    • nothoney says:

      Someone in either a riding habit or period costume.

    • Tbg says:

      Wow Sookie is so much cooler this time! Am I the only one concerned about the Tara storyline? :/ I havent read book 3 but man, that relationship seems awkward. Does he really have to lick her face? Is that considered sexy? Oh well, to each their own. Trailer looks fiiine, one thing that worries me is that there is a major focus on sexual tete-a-tetes. We all appreciate the sexiness of TB; but there’s sexy and there’s “sexy”. The MaryAnn orgy obscenities last year were just..eh. Awkward. Funny sometimes. A bit of sophisticated storyline is always nice, random vampire bdsm sex attack is not always quite as nice not even for the chock factor. But Im all for the more evaluated intrigues of homo Sam-Bill, the homo vampires (dont ask I just find it more intriguing story-wise) and Eric-sookie sexual tension. I love badass Eric and how he is all dark this time (though with cracks I hope.)

      I really feel for Bill in this trailer! I really like him and Moyer’s portrayal although Eric is my main man. This is gonna be interesting..

    • Bill's Bunny says:

      Russell Edginton (sic) but goodness knows why?

  4. Aemac says:

    I think this is going to be hard year to watch for so many of the characters. Tara, Bill, maybe Sookie and Russell.

    I’m all for exciting and edge of the seat fun, but I’m a romantic at heart. I don’t know how I feel about a lot of this.

    The riding habit bothers me, Russell’s not the only one that wears one, Talbot does too.

    • konfettii says:

      On a happy note Jason will give us more fodder for giggles. “Santa?”

      • Aemac says:

        Jason was the highlight of the preview. You’re right KF, we can look forward to Jason…..I hope. I have a feeling things aren’t going to go well for him either, but at least he’ll have Santa.

      • BillsNia says:

        Can’t have True Blood without Jasonisms!!!

    • konfettii says:

      So are we thinking Eric’s revenge might be related to the rumored relationship with Talbot? Maybe to get back at Russell? Wow, that would be pretty harsh, seduce a man just to set him on fire later.

      • debi says:

        I am thinking it’s Talbot burning. Maybe Bill sets Talbot on fire and escapes? Maybe Russell has a harsh way with dealing with cheaters. If Russell is older than Godric, maybe Eric’s revenge is on Russell.
        Casting spoiler – Russell picks up a male prostitute that looks like Talbot…missing his sweetie?
        Season 3 is based on my favorite book in the series, and it looks like TB will be red hot. Bring on the weres and Santa!

  5. Lisa says:

    OMG! Bring it on. So much excitement in 1:56 minutes. Looks great.

  6. CitizenErased says:

    OMFG!!!!!!!

    That is all.

    I’ll come back when sufficiently coherent.

  7. CitizenErased says:

    So is Franklin a plant sent by another monarch to obtain Sookie’s useful mindreading powers? Is that monarch Russell? Does Bill know they want to snatch his missus so rings her up to tell her not to find him? Presumably she ignores him and goes to rescue him anyways? What the fuck is Lorena doing on Bill’s lap? Okay thats wayyyyyy too many questions. Let the discussions begin people, and NO bashing *flashes fangs*

    • Aemac says:

      I don’t think that was Lorena on Bill’s lap, in a later scene the woman on Bill’s lap is shown with Lorena.

  8. konfettii says:

    WAS that Lorena on Bill’s lap?? I wasn’t sure.
    Clearly Russell has hired the were pack for somethingt, becasue he’s not happy with them doing nothing right.

    That teeny clip of Eric/Sookie, I am still not budging in my assumption it’s another stupid dream. OR it could be Sookie wakes up in her undies with Eric in bed with her ala book and she hops us and gets dressed. But Im placing e-money on dream sequence.

    Guess we can cut n paste that Eric comes to Sookie’s house, senses the were inside and tells her to invite him in where the scuffle ensues. Why Sookie would shoot Eric at this point is odd, unless on accident. But either way they are trucking down the road right after having a nice post-attack chat.

    Jessica was naughty and goes to Pam for help. Good choice, actually.

    Can’t figure out the Bill stuff at all. Is he a prisoner just being well treated or what do we think here?

    Tara and Franklin is a mattch made from the bowels of hell. He has her under his control. It’s like her earlier fear of vamps has become a self fulfilling prophecy.

    NO lafayette that I saw here. *pout*

  9. TeamSookie says:

    I don’t think that is Lorena on Bill’s lap, it’s another woman. You see Lorena later on towards end of trailer.

    • CitizenErased says:

      You’re right, the hair is different. There’s someone standing in the background when Bill is on the phone to Sookie. Can’t see who. KF, I think he’s a prisoner of Russell but a well treated one, at least in the beginning. No idea of the motive, possibly something about taking over Louisiana from Sophie- Anne and all its useful minions?

    • jenny says:

      Debbie pelt.

      • TeamSookie says:

        No its not Debbie Pelt. Debbie Pelt is the one crowd surfing in the trailer shown a few days ago

        • T. S. says:

          I think it might be the stripper from episode 4, the one who gets devoured by the vampires.

          • T. S. says:

            Sorry, that was supposed to be a reply to who’s sitting on Bill’s lap. There’s a casting call for an exotic looking stripper named Ann who’s devoured by 3 vampires. She looks like the same girl later on in the trailer with Lorena, maybe she’s brought in by Russell as food. I don’t think anyone is behind Bill, it looks like his reflection.

  10. latbfan says:

    Thank you, aem, for getting this up so quickly. Oh my stars! *shakes head* I think I need to watch that again.

  11. shocknawe says:

    Ok I’m incoherent at this point – OMG OMG OMG…..

  12. AterialFountain says:

    Wow!

    *thud*

    Sounds like a scream-fest at the end there! All the characters look like they’re in it up to their necks again which makes for great television and very long weeks between episodes for the fans :)

  13. chantal7399 says:

    OMG!!! i can’t wait!!!

    however, i do hate that Alan has taken eric from blonde to brunette. but i’ve learned to separate book eric from TB eric.

    favorite parts – Jason…. he is made of win – Santa?!?!

    and the Were in the bar who says: You look like dinner.

  14. Cranky says:

    That was great…thanks a bunch! Looks like Eric made a meal out of whatever were was after Sookie…and before anybody had been anywhere’s near Jackson!

  15. jay says:

    ohhh myyy goshhhh!!!! arghh awesome!
    everything, and everyone looks amazing, big ups 2 AB the show looks like its gonna go great gunz this season!!!!

  16. Sofía says:

    I want to see True blood now!!! why they take so long??
    I only hope that they keep the interesting parts of the book between sookie and eric.

    • Evichu says:

      “hope that they keep the interesting parts of the book between sookie and eric”
      agree! i hope that too!, also alan say he will loyal with the books in the big things

  17. lizzie1701 says:

    I have just watched this clip a few times but don’t have time to digest it as I have to go to work! My heart is pounding!!

    Bill!!!! What is going on???

    Now I know why Sookie is crying on Alcide! She received his phone call??? Is that why she is crying??

    So, that clip with Sookie and Eric on the porch was nothing sexual! Great! I hope they don;t do the Sookie and Eric thing as per the books – would not make sense for one thing as this appears to be a very dramatic season and I can’t see Sookie fooling around!

    OMG!!! Will have to watch it again and try and slow motion it!!

    Thanks for posting this vital piece of information!

    • cr says:

      I’m thinking he’s not doing the the Eric/Sookie almost-but-not-quite-having-sex episode from the books. You’re correct, from the clips we’ve seen it doesn’t look like it’d fit in with the way AB’s doing it.

      He’ll just probably give her plenty of dream sequences.

      • jay says:

        i agree, AB has consistantly said that eric and sookie is fated 2 happen, but its not gonna happen straight away. Just like last season, AB is likely 2 just intensify the tension between the two… I did read a recent interview which stated eric/sookie have a particularly intense moment, whether thats physical or on an emotional level we will soon see..
        I was hoping 2 c some flashback scenes, looking forward 2 seeing godric again.

        Roll on season 3 :)

    • Evichu says:

      LoL wtf!! men/girl i dont care… true blood is based in the books so its gonna happend! im sorry for you… xd and jay is right, thats not gonna happen right now in this season, but in season 4, just wait a little xd …

  18. foliage says:

    Great preview, left me breathless, can’t wait ;)

  19. mbb says:

    fabulous preview. can’t wait

  20. BillsNia says:

    If the season lives up to this wild amazing trailer then there is not a doubt that TB has truly come into its own.
    Gone I believe is alot of the silliness of last season (ok, we need a little silly…..Santa?), and replaced with soul searching, gut wrenching intense crazy drama.
    Love, hate, sex, dreams, fantasies, politics, torture, regret………….
    The best show on tv still reigns supreme, yet has even surpassed that.

    Emmy, Emmy, Emmy , Emmy!!!!!

    Ha, and I got all this from a trailer!

  21. wiwa says:

    It’s an exciting trailer and the end is heartbreaking, Anna does a wonderful job, she’s an amazing actress and great cryer. I can’t imagine a different actress playing Sookie. So looking forward to what Tara get’s into. Jason and Andy’s story too. So glad to see so much of Bill, he’s why I’ll be parked in front of the TV every Sunday night this season, come hell or high water. Watching Stephen is the best thing about the show for me.

    • billsbaby says:

      Totally with you on that, Wiwa! Stephen/Bill is my main reason for watching TB. That trailer is so full of good stuff coming up…and Bill, oh my!!
      It looks like he may have escaped from his captors, and likely has found out that Franklin or whoever is putting Sookie in danger and that’s why he calls her to tell her not to look for him. I think that is the only reason Bill would ‘break up’ with Sookie, to protect HER. Also, if that is the reason they break up then we know it won’t be a permanent thing.
      Then again, we can only speculate about what is really going on from this little clip..but it’s a doozie of a clip!!

  22. AdeleH says:

    Absolutely speechless and this is just a trailer. I’m starting to worry that in the week between shows, I’m going to feel like a junkie that can’t get a fix. It won’t be pretty but , OMG, i can’t wait.

  23. Reverse says:

    Heh, I loved the shot I got of Bill towards the end with his fangs so I screen capped it for you guys and threw it up online. :3 Enjoy and love on it. x3

    I thought the lightning in it was amaaaazing. x) And of course those gorgeous and deadly fangs of his. ;) We’ll never forget just how dangerous the sexy vampire that Bill can really be.

    • lizzie1701 says:

      Thank you Reverse! I agree with all your assumptions re our Bill! Glad he is getting his mojo back!

  24. Melissa says:

    I don’t even want to make assupmtions, I’m gonna stay out of the discussion cause I have a long drive tomorrow and I don’t wanna stay up too late arguing with nice people like you guys, so I’m just gonna say… OMFG, this season is gonna be HOT AS HELL!!!

    I can’t believe these teasers they’re giving us… I really think it’s gonna be an amazing season. Can’t wait for CE’s recaps!!!

  25. jay says:

    gotta love jason lol
    its so funny the sookie/jason, sister/brother are played by a kiwi and aussie!!!! love it :)

  26. Sarah says:
