UPDATE: Latest On The Status of Charlaine Harris and “Deadlocked” (via @EricSookieLover)
For today’s (Day 20) fangalicious Fang-A-Thon 2012 post, I figured I’d focus on the books once more, because Charlaine Harris updated her status on Facebook (with a special message for you), and we have an update on where “Deadlocked” is sitting on the New York Times Bestseller List!
First, we’ll share with you Charlaine’s Facebook status:
Thanks to all of you for letting me know you enjoyed the book. I’m hard at work on the last one. I put up a new Book & Blog on my website (www.charlaineharris.com). Got the advanced readering copies for “An Apple for the Creature,” the next anthology I co-edited with Toni L.P. Kelner.
Now let’s see where “Deadlocked” stacks up on the New York Times Bestseller List! A version of this list appears in the June 3, 2012 issue of The New York Times Book Review. Rankings reflect sales for the week ending May 19, 2012.
Below, are the Top 5 Books under Hardcover Fiction, which represents new or just released books and doesn’t take into account ebooks, etc.
This Week Last Week Hardcover Fiction Weeks
on List1 STOLEN PREY, by John Sandford. (Putnam, $27.95.) When a Minnesota family is murdered, the Minneapolis investigator Lucas Davenport believes a Mexican drug gang is involved. 1 2 1 11TH HOUR, by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. (Little, Brown, $27.99.) Detective Lindsay Boxer and the Women’s Murder Club investigate a possible serial killer. 2 3 2 DEADLOCKED, by Charlaine Harris. (Ace, $27.95.)

If you’re worried and/or are disappointed that “Deadlocked” is slipping in the rankings…don’t be. It’s perfectly understandable. I’m sure many of us have read it by now or have at least purchased it, even if you haven’t read it yet. It’s okay, #3 isn’t bad either, especially because the book has only been on the shelves for 3 weeks.
If you read Charlaine’s Book & Blog, you might find what she says about some of the books she’s reading interesting and she also talks about Memorial Day and what it means for her. You should definitely check it out!

Sookie knows what EVERYONE likes (via @mswriteok)
I have an account at blip.fm and I play all my favorite songs there all time time. Generally I listen to it while I’m writing the posts for Fangathon 2012, and last night an old song came on and I started laughing, because it should be Sookie Stackhouse’s theme song.
One Of My Favorite Funny Scenes (via @QueenFaeMab)
One of my favorite scenes that made me laugh is in Season 2 when Daphne is leading Sam to crazy ass Maryann’s orgy.
Sam: Where ya taking me?
Daphne: Don’t be such a nervous Nelly! It’s a surprise.
Sam stops when he hears drumming in the distance.
Daphne: What? You don’t like drums?
Sam: It’s just in my experience, no good can come from drum music. Follow it and all it will lead you to is hippies and cults.
True Blood Season 5 Premiere Party Potential (via @TB_PamR)
I’m not sure I feel like celebrating the Start of True Blood’s fifth season for any reason other than the fact that it is NOT Season Four. That being said, I enjoyed my recent excursion into the fandom in Phoenix so much that…I am considering a Premiere Party.
Now before you get all excited, let’s be clear: I am not affiliated with nor endorsed by HBO, True Blood, Kristin Bauer van Straten or Charlaine Harris. This is strictly a fangirl exercise, and it is in the very early stages.
The only reason I’m mentioning it at all is because I’m curious about how many truebies in the Phoenix area would be interested in getting together and watching the premiere of Season 5 in one place. So here’s what I need you Phoenix truebies to do: Send me a DM or Mention (@TB_PamR) and let me know if the idea interests you. If it does, and you would be interested in helping organize things I’d like to know that as well (especially if you can go out during the daylight hours -smirks-). That’s it. If enough people indicate they are interested in a Premiere Party by May 31, 2012, I’ll look into it further. If no one expresses any interest, I’ll throw the idea out with last season’s Manolos.
My favorite members of the cast! (via @LuvBONESnTBlood)
Days are dropping away until the premiere but not fast enough!
I went on this morning to do some research to see if anything new popped up in the land of Skarsgard and Paquin and Google has a new set up. When I typed in Google and besides the list of whatever sites would pop up for him on the right was a little bio. Thought it was cute. So I’m posting it. Everyone knows Alex, but there are Trubies!!! I started to see how many I could find this way but it seems like the dummy I am you can find everyone…lol! So I placed the ones that I feel you can’t have True Blood with out!

Vampire I’d like to see on True Blood (via @mswriteok)
There is one Anne Rice vampire, who, in her book held little interest for me, but when I saw him in the “Interview With the Vampire” movie, I was spellbound.
It was the first time I saw Antonio Banderas. I was thunderstruck. He was amazing. Long, flowing black hair, a delicious accent and his total toothiness, his sexiness oozed off the screen and into my bloodstream, never to leave. Yes, Bill and Eric are mighty fine, but good heavens, if Armand the vampire came to me, he could have his wicked way with me all night, every night. Jace Everett can sing “Bad Things” about True Blood vamps, but for me, Armand gets the equally sexy “Wicked Games” by Chris Isaac.
That song is every bit as tortured as “Bad Things” and Chris’ voice is equal to Jace’s. Easily. Now, say Armand shows up as part of the Authority. I could so deal with that. I could be his and leave both Eric and Bill in the dust. No problem. Look at the guy. He’s as old as Eric but for me, he has the tall, dark and handsome thing going. And, he’d be a vampire to be reckoned with. He could easily take care of that pesky varmint Russell Edgington and be done with it, take over that nice house in Mississippi and I could movie right in with him. Then, I’d invite Miss Stackhouse over for tea and we could compare notes. After all, my mother was a Fairy, so I’m no slouch in that category myself. That’s my story for today, and I’m sticking to it.
TV Guide Spoilers & More (via @EricSookieLover)
For tonight’s (Day 19) fangalicious Fang-A-Thon 2012 post, I thought I’d share some spoilers TV Guide is revealing in their newest issue, which will be released on Thursday, May 31st. The issue is dated June 4-10, 2012.
WARNING: If you don’t want to know – don’t read below!
Below are the scans of Matt Roush’s article in this issue.
Special thanks to askarsgard.com for sharing these scans!
As an added bonus – TV Guide also revealed this little spoiler in their Mega Buzz article!
I can’t wait for True Blood to come back. Is Tara dead? Please say yes. I am so over her. — Denny
NATALIE: We literally can’t answer this question, lest Alan Ball has us all staked. But we can tell you that the title of the season premiere is “Turn! Turn! Turn!” which is a song of Biblical extraction about profound change, like, say, dying, becoming a vampire or declaring your true sexuality. All three of these things will happen during this hour, but the question is: To whom? (Answer: Not all to the same person.)
Hmmm…sure sounds like we have a lot to speculate on the next couple of days!
Not to worry though…Michael Ausiello will probably tell us more, once he’s finished watching the first four episodes of True Blood, which he received in the mail earlier today! Check out what he shared on his Twitter page!
ME=WANT *sobs* Wish we could receive these too!

Fang-A-Thon Day 20: Best/Worst – Fan Service (via @VampKingBill)
If it’s one thing HBO is very good at is following the fans and deducing what it is we’re craving. In that light, I thought I’d look at how Ball answered our fannish demands.
Best – Giving fans Alex’s ass.
Obviously, this kind of post calls for that particular screen capture, but in the name of keeping this blog as safe for work (and lest I give @DarlingSookie more fodder to believe that Eric and I share a bromance), I shall leave it to you readers to grab it for yourself. That out of the way, it’s impossible to say that the long, continuous shot of Alex’s ass could only be described as fanservice. It didn’t need to be there. It didn’t need to as long. That it did was meant entirely as a present to the fans and it was very eagerly lapped up. The only way that could be topped would be full frontal of Alex. We’re getting full front this season, but apparently not from a main. Fans will just have to keep waiting.
Honorable Mention – The way they find a way to get Alcide to take off his top more often than not. Not a bad trick considering he’s not even really one of Sookie’s love interests (although he certainly wishes he was)
Worst- Giving fans more Pam.
Without a doubt, fans (like myself) wanted more Pam because we liked her attitude, liked her sass and wanted to see more. I personally loved her in Season 3 when she was trying to snap Eric out of his suicidal funk to actually try and do something. Because of that, when I heard we’d get more Pam I was excited. I was even curious when they said that one of her comments (undoubtedly the “gash in a sundress” line) made everyone gasp at the table read that they went there. And then we began to watch and we began to realize that the writers never really could find something to do with Pam other be a one-liner machine. Or rather, what they did find – an irrational obsession with Eric’s infatuation with Sookie – just made her look weak and clingy. The one liners seemed less zingy and more pathetic and desperate as a result. I’m hoping that things will change for the better in Season 5 because she, like so many of the female characters on the show, deserves better. But as it stands, I wish we hadn’t gotten what we asked for.
Honorable Mention – Eric/Sookie sex. Just. Wow. How did that go so very wrong? The lack of chemistry (Bill and Sookie in the shower had enough chemistry for both scenes) the really really bad trip to Narnia that didn’t necessarily make sense for either character (she’s drank a ton of blood before and never went on a trip, Eric shouldn’t have gone on a trip off of Sookie’s blood – he didn’t go on one after draining the full Fae Claudine, at most he should have become giggly drunk again) and yeah. It just really didn’t work.
As the old adage goes, “be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.” Truer words, Trubies. Truer words.
True Blood Season 5 Kill List (via @DarlingSookie)
LOL. As it gets closer to T-Day, True Blood returns, I’ve realized that we haven’t done an official kill list for True Bites. So for today’s Fang-A-Thon post and my second to the last blogathon post, I’m going to post my official Season 5: Kill List.
Kill List (in no particular order):
Nora: After the debacle with Lorena and now, most recently Debbie, let’s just say I’m probably bad luck for anyone who is/has been sweet on one of the men in my life.
In all fairness to Nora, she has the upperhand, what with being a vampire and all. But then again, so was Lorena and look at how that turned out…
Long live the Authority
Or not… Let’s face it, if there is one thing Alan Ball does a lot of it’s bringing in a ton of new characters for no other purpose than to find a way to kill them off.
Giving that I highly doubt he will kill off Bill and Eric, I find that all the Authority members have made my list for no other reason than sometimes one must cull the herd.

Alexander Skarsgard Interview and Photos Bullett Magazine (via @vs4as)
Bullett Magazine features Alexander Skarsgard in their summer “Sin” edition of their magazine. The interview below is an excerpt:
At the end of season four, which aired last summer, Sookie, who’d been playing a competitive game of emotional ping-pong with Eric and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), suddenly removes herself from the show’s central love triangle when she breaks up with both of them. In the season finale, Eric’s protégée Pam (whom he turned into a vampire) hinted at the plot twist when she said, “I am so over Sookie, and her precious fairy vagina, and her unbelievably stupid name. F#ck Sookie!”
But that doesn’t mean the party is over. “Bill and Eric have to set aside their disputes and team up. They bond in the process; they have no choice. There’s definitely a bit of a bromance going on there,” says Skarsgård, smiling. “It’s a little like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” referring to the Wild West outlaws immortalized on screen by Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

Fang-A-Thon Day 19: Best/Worst – Weres (via @VampKingBill)
When I started to think about what I wanted to write for this post, I realized that overall it feels like weres really haven’t added that much to the canon of the show, or at least in a way that convinces me that characters couldn’t have just been human instead. That being said, let’s take a look at the best and the worst of the Weres.
Best: I can hear everyone screaming now, but yes, I think the best use of weres has come from Hot Shots and the werepanthers at the start of Season 4. If you’ve ever listened to True Bites, you’ve undoubtedly heard me rail against how this plot was dropped and how completely inappropriate it was for them to do a story like this just for the sake of getting Jessica and Jason together. That all remains true. However, up until the time that the story got dropped, the Hot Shots arc was working incredibly well for me. There was motivation for the panthers doing what they did (even if they weren’t quite smart enough to realize that their plan wouldn’t work), we got to see some of the panther mythology and hell, the entire storyline was genuinely creepy and horrifying. There was some great acting not only on the part of Ryan Kwanten, but also the little girl who was ‘next in line’ so to speak who didn’t want to do it but was also terrified of what Felton would do to her if she didn’t do it, and you could feel Crystal’s glee and absolute lack of sympathy when she discovered she was going to be Big Momma Kitty. It was genuinely a great set up that should have let to some great aftermath. The fact that it didn’t is a tremendous shame, but the fact remains that those first few episodes of season four were still the most interesting thing that was done with weres of any kind since their introduction in Season 3.
Honorable Mention: There have been some great moments between Alcide, Eric and Bill and the line “He killed my Cooter!” The show also deserves props for using real animals after they shift instead of CGI.
Worst: The wolves. To be honest, they’re pretty useless, and considering the storylines that have been given to them to date, don’t really need to be wolves. The pack in Mississippi were essentially a drug-addicted motorcycle gang. The pack in Shreveport isn’t drug-addicted, but essentially isn’t any better than the pack in Mississippi since they willingly do nothing to stand up the bully that is Marcus and basically stand by and watch Marcus kill Tommy (as Sam). Alcide wasn’t much better, to be honest, not even really doing anything until it’s obvious that Sam wasn’t Sam. Ultimately the question becomes: what is the point of them being werewolves? Really, what is the point? What have any of the packs done that necessitated them being wolves? Alcide’s story didn’t need him to be a wolf. Debbie’s story didn’t need her to be a wolf. The wolves in Season 3 only served as Russell’s minions and Bill soundly kicking all of their asses once he’s fed establishes that as far as supes go they aren’t that much stronger than humans. If Alcide wasn’t around you probably could have gotten Sam to play the role of huntsman for Sookie when Eric had run off after getting high on Claudine. I’m hoping that Season 5 changes that and we see something more from them.
Favourite Fanvid (via @Aly_x)
I just love this because I think the song is incredible and works so well for their relationship, I also happen to love the editing (even if the vid is a little dark in some places…) and the small quotes scattered throughout are a really nice touch, they help to break up the long bits of video and I feel the words chosen are the most relevant to their situation.
The sound clips used throughout of their interactions etc also happen to be extremely relevant and very telling as to what their relationship is like and it’s abundantly clear that the person who made the video spent plenty of time and effort on it, which is very much appreciated by all of the fans ^_^

Character Most Improved From Books to True Blood – Russell Edgington (via @EricNorthmanSVM)
King of Mississippi Russell Edgington shows up in the books numerous times but he’s rather an old softy. He doesn’t really hold any grudges against Sookie for Bill’s rescue and he truly seems to love the King of Indiana whom he marries in All Together Dead.
That’s nothing to compare with the glorious operatic beauty of an ego that is True Blood’s version of Russell Edgington. TB Russell is ruthless, has fun doing almost anything especially if it’s cruel and doesn’t tolerate any notion where he isn’t the ultimate power. Sure he goes a little batshit crazy after Eric stakes Talbot Russell’s consort of several centuries but that just makes him even more enthralling and possibly even endearing.
All that and I never tire of hearing his rich Southern drawl wrap around words like pumpkin and puddin’.

Hot in City (via @TBConfid)
A happy Pam isn’t one we’ve seen for awhile so I’m liking this photo from HBO, a lot.
From Eonline today- True Blood First Look: Who Dug Up the Vampire King?
“You know what? You’re the angel of death.” Another day, another body to bury. Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) sets the mood for the new season of True Blood with a stern lecture to his best friend Sookie, claiming that bodies pile up wherever she goes. Harsh, but true. And since Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) is back and pissed off, we can expect a much higer body count this time around… The big question is: Who dug up the former King of Mississippi? Lots of suspects to consider, and Eric doesn’t trust any of them. And Russell is clearly out for revenge, because as Roman says: “Suffering does not cure the appetite for power.” And Russell wants to gorge on human blood, oh that kidder.
If you watch Grimm, and you should, next season you’ll see our own cracra Franklin, James Frain, as the Captain’s (Sasha Roiz) bro. Source

Bullett Magazine‘s interview with Askars (we posted a video of the photos a week or so ago) is now up in full on their site. It’s in full (4 pages) at the link.
“Eric runs into someone very special,” says Skarsgård, referring to the new character, Nora (played by British actor Lucy Griffiths), Eric’s sister and a member of the Vampire Authority, a council of powerful bloodsuckers who control institutionalized vampire-dom across the globe. “There aren’t a lot of human people who Eric really cares about—he’s only loyal to a few,” Skarsgård says. “We saw his passion with his maker Godric, with Pam, and with Sookie. Nora is definitely just as important; she’s played a significant part in his life. She still does.”
Joe Manganiello in Men’s Health via Ted C (lol)–Would a Joe Manganiello with flabby abs be as sweet?! “I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the ‘90s,” Joe reveals to the fitness magazine. “Women looked like men and the men all looked like women. I was constantly being told, ‘You’re too healthy.’ So there were four years where I essentially didn’t work as an actor.”
Men’s Health has their Best Summer Bodies issue out- Actor Stephen Moyer may star on True Blood as vampire Bill Compton, but he shares one thing in common with the average mortal. “I find that I don’t [work out] if I don’t have someone making me,” he recently told us. As season five of the hit HBO series gets underway, the 42-year-old actor plans to spend much of his time on screen with his shirt off (although perhaps not as much as co-star Ryan Kwanten). The thought of baring so much skin to millions of viewers was incentive enough to turn up the heat on his typical training gumbo: Push workouts, pull workouts, a little circuit training, some plyometrics and functional work, and a dash of sport-specific training. But his motivation extends beyond mere vanity. “I don’t want my kids to look back on the show in 20 years time and go ‘who’s that slobby git’,” says Moyer. photo by James White.
Though his character may lack superpowers, Ryan Kwanten easily boasts the most otherworldly physique of all the cast members on HBO’s True Blood. The 35-year-old actor didn’t sculpt his body working out on machines in an air-conditioned room, either. Kwanten is a competitive triathlete—he was a professional at one time—and prefers taking his workouts to the trails rather than running on Los Angeles’ 7,000 miles of blacktop. “It takes the tedium out of running,” he says. “No two steps are the same.” And instead of aiming for distance or heart-rate goals, he opts for routes with distinct midpoints. “Whether it’s a high peak or the end of a beach, it’s great to have something you can touch that lets you know you’re halfway there. You don’t find that on a treadmill.” photo by Nino Munez

Night 19 something fun :) (via @FangbangerEst89)
i made a poll to have some fun 
click this link it’ll take you to my other blog because i accidently posted it in the other blog and not this one………so please and have fun
Favorite True Blood Cast Member (via @DarlingSookie)
Truly, this isn’t a simple I just love so and so. When it comes to the cast of True Blood, there are several standout actors/actresses. Some for their humanitarian efforts, some for their acting abilities and of course, the ones who stand out just by being gorgeous.
*coughs* Alexander Skarsgard *cough, cough*
All joking aside, I must say, I’m truly impressed by the humanitarian effort from several of the cast members. But if I had to choose one as my favorite overall, I’d have to go with my face claim, Anna Paquin.
Beautiful, talented and known for her work with organizations such as: Make-A-Wish Foundation, True Colors Fund and Children’s Hospital in Los Angelas, it’s hard to say you don’t like her.
I, personally, love the fact she’s comfortable with herself. In a society where so many celebrities are adamant about “getting work done”, she stays true to herself, embracing her flaws and imperfections and that to me, makes her even more beautiful. I mean, someone who is naked as often as she is on True Blood, you have to have to be pretty comfortable in your own skin. Especially when the rest of the female leads, clearly are not.
I’m not sure I can say I truly can see Anna as being made for the part of Sookie Stackhouse. As a bookie, I find it hard to overlook the fact that physically, she is nothing like everyone’s favorite fair-haired barmaid. As a fan of her as an actress, I feel Alan Ball has done her a disgrace by pushing Sookie from being the show’s leading lady, to a one-dimensional sidelined character.
Perhaps, I have to admire her ability to deal with Stephen and Alex as well. According to interviews, she’s the most professional of them all and if you have ever seen an interview with her and the boys.. well, let’s just say Eric and Bill’s (b)romance will not be a hard thing to “act” out.
Before the cameras begin rolling, Skarsgård walks up to his mark in the center of the room, Moyer kneels in front of him—his character is picking something up off the ground when the shot begins—and the director watches them from his chair in front of a camera monitor. While waiting in their places, Skarsgård looks down at his costar and says dryly, “It looks like he’s sucking me off,” to which Moyer responds by bobbing his head vigorously. Skarsgård closes his eyes and starts moaning with the intensity of a slash-fiction hero, after which Moyer stands up and wipes imaginary fluids from his mouth with the back of his hand. He scans the crowd and after taking a slight bow says, “And the Emmy goes to… ” A crew member whispers to no one in particular, “Now that’s what I call ‘Action.’”
– via BlackbookMag
So needless to say, Anna has her hands full with these boys and I will continue to look forward to her work as an actress. And of course, we are all anxiously awaiting to see hers and Stephen’s adorable new addition, which should be arriving sometime this Fall!
I must admit, her and Stephen’s chemistry shines through on True Blood and as an Eric and Sookie fan, I find myself secretly (in the safety of my home with all the curtains drawn and music blasting really loud), rooting for this pair to make it work.
I mean, truly, you can’t say they don’t make an adorable couple and you aren’t rooting for them, too…

Fang-A-Thon Day 18: Happy Memorial Day (via @VampKingBill)
I would like to take a moment out of the celebration of many things vampire and remember those that have served our country in any number of ways.
I lost many friends while fighting in the Civil War. While they all might not approve of all the changes to our fine country over the past 150 years, I would like to think they would still ultimately be proud of how we came back together again. I would also like to take a moment to recognize the many vampires that have served us in the Great Wars, in Korea, Vietnam and our more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although we could not fight by the light of day does not mean that we could not ultimately help. And whether it was on the front line, the supply line, or by providing the tools and weapons that our brave men and women used many have played their part and just like humans, many have made that ultimate sacrifice while doing so.
So please, I hope that everyone, human or vampire, takes this opportunity to reflect on and remember the service of the brave men and women, human and otherwise on this day of remembrance.
Thank you.
Trailer Number 2 (via @Aly_x)
I love you, TB writers, but I didn’t need to see what I assume is a mangled, bloody Russell Edgington wrapped in a large piece of cloth…ew guys! 😦 I guess that’s where they filmed the creepy hospital scene? Idk, I’m just guessing here!
It was, however, useful to get a bit more context to the speech leading up to the whole ‘angel of death’ thing, those words were so strange coming from Lafayette as he’s always loved Sook, but I can understand his anger. What set that little rant off? It looks like it took place at work rather than in private at home.
Jess messing with Steve Newlin? I’m curious as to what that’s about and what’s going to happen to him, I also want to know what Steve wants with Jason…revenge for sleeping with his wife? or does he actually want some help?
I wanna know why Alcide is crying…he’s wayyy too manly to cry, was it because he found out about Sook killing Debbie? Or was it because she used him? Personally I hope it’s because Sook used him, Debbie is nothing to cry over in all fairness….
Seeing Eric being trapped by a silver net and hearing him cry out in pain breaks my heart, poor baby 😦
Chris Meloni – let me love you<33 he’s even more beautiful covered in blood after staking someone.
I wanna know how Nora plays into this, how did she get to Bill and Eric? Why is she there? (other than being Eric’s sister of course) and why is she going against The Authority if she was one of them? Also, what or who caused the massive explosion? SO MANY QUESTIONS. oh and why is Eric kissing Nora. No darling, Sookie should be the only one you’re kissing, even if she is being difficult at the moment.
Hoyt covered in blood? I have a feeling he’s joined the FOTS and is now killing off vampires in revenge and hatred towards Jessica. Maybe it’s something else though…interesting to see such a light character take such a dark turn.
Ahhh Russell Edgington, you crazy and wonderfully wacky man. We all know though you don’t wanna gorge on human blood, it’s Fae blood your after 😉 I’m curious about what goes down in NO. they looked like they were having fun filming there.
Oh. FAVOURITE QUOTE SO FAR?
‘A three thousand year old vampire wants to suck my blood. Must be Thursday!’
whoever wrote that into the script…
I was crying with laughter for a good ten minutes. Ohhh I love you<333

I Wanna Do Bad Things With You (via @mswriteok)
Every time I hear Jace Everett breathe those opening words, “When you came in the air went out,” my heart starts to race and my mind runs towards all the possibilities of what I’ll be seeing for the next hour or so. “I wanna do bad things with you.” Oh yeah, baby. I’d love to know who first thought of this cut for the opening credits of “True Blood.” It’s simply brilliant. While the fast-cuts and bizarre images flash by, I love that baritone voice implying all kinds of nasty treats in store for me. Think of what we’ve seen so far. Bill seducing an innocent Sookie. He’s the first man who has seriously paid attention to her where she had no idea of what would happen next. When she said, “Yes” to him, she gave herself to him utterly, body and blood. Eric, seeing Bill has someone strangely and utterly beguiling on his arm when Sookie makes her first visit to “Fangtasia,” becomes another willing victim to Sookie’s fey charm. He begins plotting to get Sookie at that second. Eric gets some blood into Sookie in a devious way, using guilt as a weapon after he saves her life in the explosion at Godric’s house. Yes, Eric, that’s a “Bad Thing.” My all-time favorite “True Blood” scene is Sookie’s erotic dream featuring Eric. After some wonderful pillow talk, my to-this-day favorite line of the series comes. “I am a darling.” Oh Miss Stackhouse, you surely are. Her wiles go farther than vampires, as we all know. Sam was sweet on her for years. Alcide would have succumbed but their timing has always been off. Still, they show a lot of his wereskin, and oh my, what dirty little thoughts float through my head.
The Season 4 scene with naked Eric and Alcide nearly hyperventilated me. Now, that’s truly bad, and I loved every second of it. Didn’t you? “I don’t know who you think you are but before this night is through I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you.”
Yum, Season 5 here I come.
Character I REALLY Don’t Want To See On True Blood (via @EricNorthmanSVM)
Sorry Quinn fans but I’m not part of your legion. The genie pants, the dry humping in the kitchen, calling Sookie ‘Babe’ all the time.
“Are you ready, babe? You sound ready. You feel ready.”
Ugh! Amateur!
I will say something good about Quinn. Sookie and Quinn’s escape into the swamp is pretty cool and they did make a good team in that instant. That said, I didn’t mind at all when Eric broke Quinn’s jaw in Dead and Gone.

Let’s kick off with some talk about Promo #2 from Sunday night.
Is that Lafayette telling Sookie off or is he channeling Tara, she could still be in vampembryo form in the ground when he is saying this? It could just be Lala speaking his mind as we love him to do but I’m keeping an open mind on this, they have pulled hat tricks before and will again, I’m sure.
Skarsgardfans has screencaps up for the Conjuring S4 video as well as hi-def caps for this latest video (and all the others), so hit up B’s site to see more.
British Columbia had their Leo Awards (hosted by Sanctuary’s Amanda Tapping) over the weekend. Christopher Heyerdahl (True Blood’s Dieter Braun) won the Leo for Best Performance in a Youth or Children’s Program or Series for The Haunting Hour.

A Memorial Day Tribute (via @QueenFaeMab)
Let’s start with the town of Bon Temps. There are many descendants of Civil War veterans and members of the historical society “Descendants of the Glorious Dead.” Even the mayor’s great-grandfather lived during the Civil War.
Then there’s William T. Compton. In 1860, he went off to serve as First Lieutenant in the 28th Louisiana Infantry for the Civil War.
And we also have Terry Bellefleur. He is Gulf War veteran who served in Iraq, in particular Fallujah. During his tour of duty, he has claimed to have shot and killed 20 Iraqis. Like many veterans, he has psychological and emotional issues from what he witnessed and did while serving in the war.
Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all who have served to protect this country.
