Entertainment Weekly, in their Special Characters Double Issue (available now), not only included a special three-page spread of the Season Three cast photo, they also called the Season Three Premiere the “Must Watch of the Week” and gave the episode an A-.
Ken Tucker wrote: “Picking up right where last season left off, Alan Ball’s wild ride puts the pedal to the metal: Bill (Stephen Moyer) is kidnapped, Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) making his entrance naked (I know – you’re not gonna bother reading the rest of this), Tara (Rutina Wesley) in dangerous grief over the death of Eggs, Jason (Ryan Kwanten) bedding two girls while secretly trying to become a “better man,” teen vamp Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) trying and failing to control her adolescent hormones, and dear, sweet Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) recommending “tequila and Klonopin” as a surefire way of getting through hard times. Plus, the return of Evan Rachel Wood’s Queen and an increased role for Eric’s curvy underling Pam (Kristin Bauer). True Blood is, if anything, faster, sleeker, more vicious, more fun than it already was. Yum-yum.”
I am looking forward to more Kristin Bauer, notsomuch the Queen. I totally had to look up Klonopin. How embarrassing. Oh, and Eric’s going to be nekkid? You don’t say!
While Eric’s naked I’ll be getting up to make another cocktail. ::rollseyes::
I like the Queen, she mean and kinda witty, but probably not a tenth as much fun as Russell.
Thanks for posting, Lat. Bill’s storyline is my main focus for S3, but also look forward to the other characters and their trials and tribulations!
Honestly, Eric naked? Now, why haven’t I heard that one before! lol! I mean, they do harp on it! I am sure there will be lots of things to keep us in our seats spellbound this season.
Liv – what is klonopin???
Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative with anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and anxiolytic properties. It is marketed by Roche under the trade-names Klonopin in the United States, and Ravotril in Chile. Now that I have learned my factoid of the day, Ima gonna start on tomorrow’s fun fact!
I wonder if that’s the bottle of pills Tara tries to swallow as Lafayette breaks the door down?
No problem, i’ll enjoy Eric (alexander) naked for all of you :D hahaha ^_^ he have so big and beautifull body for see and enjoy xd
Hey Evichu did you also know Eric is a 1000 yrs old too?
I know that I’m going to enjoy a naked Eric. He’s lovely… I’m also impressed the show got an A-. EW is quite stingy with the As, as well they should be…
I’m just looking forward to the new season so I can read more of Citizen Erased’s recaps. Hopefully, they are a planned part of The Nest for season 3.
I am looking forward to seeing how much worse the claws come out once the show starts lol…Everything is repetitive in the article, Bill kidnapped? NOOO really? Tara grieving Eggs? no shit, Jason in a three some? I only heard this about a million times.
Eric is 1000 years old? thanks
Eric being naked, as mentioned over and over again! Surely they most know by now that we are getting to the end of our tether with all this repetitiveness!
Well not every TB fan goes on the internet and checks all TB updates, or even watches the trailers or minisodes. I’m gonna guess that a small percentage really stays up to date on all of this. I have friends who didn’t even know they were doing minisodes and they all watch the show. At a party last week, when people were talking about the show and some people said they were Eric fans and I mentioned him being naked, none of them knew about it. So to most this is news and like I said, the whole thing is repetitive. Bill kidnapped, that was the S2 finale so if people watch the show you don’t have to tell them this.
Eric NAKKED is all I’m concerned about~after that I pray the Season will be wonderful and
not anything like last Season’s mess with the Maenad.
bring it!!! sooo freakin can’t wait :D
