True Blood
News (Page 3)

It's sad, but true: True Blood concludes its second season on September 13 with an episode titled "Beyond Here Lies Nothin."

The good news, however, is that Evan Rachel Wood - who debuted last week as Queen Sophie-Ann - isn't going anywhere. She'll play a key role on season three of the series.

The actress recently sat down with TV Guide Magazine and opened up about the past and the future of her character. Here are excerpts from the interview:

On her rumored sex scene: I don’t know how that got out, and I don’t want people tuning in and being disappointed. It’s not a sex scene; it’s just a steamy scene. There’s a little something going on with somebody you don’t expect.

On Sophie-Ann's age: I’ve heard somewhere between 500 and 1,000 years old. And she’s spoiled - she’s a queen - so she’s decked out in the best clothes and the best jewelry. She’s incredibly smart and witty, but she is definitely deadly.

On her purpose: You don’t know if she’s good or bad. I think she’s a little bit of both.

We had no idea there was even a wedding coming up on True Blood, until previews after last Sunday's episode revealed Sookie in a maid-of-honor dress.  So just who will our favorite telepath be a bridesmaid for?

Who other than the crazy as bat-#^%# Maryann?  The unlucky guy?  The god who comes of course!

Maryann will don a wedding dress with the intention of marrying Dionysus when he comes for the vessel they choose to sacrifice. 

So our big question is, why did she choose Sookie over Tara to be her maid-of-honor?  Tara was like totally her BFF.

Although last night's episode of True Blood was far from a frenzy, we were introduced to Sophie Anne, the Vampire Queen of Louisianna, and lady fans were finally given some ample Eric screen time.

The episode dragged at times, spending way too long with Sophie Anne teaching us the history of maenads, but definitely set things up nicely for the season two finale in two weeks.

That's right, much like the American workforce, True Blood will be taking Labor Day weekend off.  So sit tight and read our "Frenzy" recap and wait for us to give you plenty of True Blood spoilers over the next two weeks.

Of course, here are our usual favorite quotes.

Sam: You can't shoot anyone else. These are our friends. This is our town.
Jason: Sometimes you need to destroy something to save it. That's in the Bible... or the Constitution | permalink

Sophie-Anne: Maenads are sad, silly things... relics who believe in the God who comes. Bill: Does he ever come?
Sophie-Anne: Of course not. Gods only exist in humans' minds, like money or morality | permalink

Andy: ...and women do just throw themselves at you. You don't even have to do anything
Jason: Actually I do. I work out like a motherf**ker and I watch a lot of porn to learn stuff | permalink

Evan Rachel Wood makes her debut as Sophie-Anne, the Vampire Queen of Louisianna on this upcoming weekend's episode of True Blood entitled "Frenzy."

After Wood's interview with E! Online, we're definitely led to believe that the 1,100 year-old vampire like to play for both teams. 

She told E! Online that, ""She's not necessarily a lesbian.  Her human partner is a girl, but I'm pretty sure she goes both ways [laughs]. I think vampires are like that in general."

Check out some of our other favorite questions she answered.

E! Online: I want to know who you are going to have sex with. Are you more Eric or Bill, and what kind of drama is Queen Sophie-Ann starting?
Evan Rachel Wood: I figured that those would be the questions! Who do I have sex with? Well, I don't know if I am having sex with anyone yet, but I certainly have a steamy scene with someone that I don't think you'd really expect. So it will be a little fun.

Did you have to get naked yet, because everyone on the show gets naked?
I can't say I do just yet. But they are bringing me back next season, so it's always a possibility. It's kind of inevitable.

So are you Team Eric or Team Bill?
I would say, Team Alex—Eric! Whoops.

Hmm, whoops indded.  You can read the rest of the interview at E! Online.

Someone needs to take down Maryann on True Blood.  She has long worn off her welcome in Bon Temps as far as the citizens and we are concerned.

Now thanks to some spoilers from the cast of True Blood, we learn just how they plan on doing that.  Here's what's in store for the final two episodes of the season.

• Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette) describes Sookie's power as "I read the books, so I think she's part fairy. That was her fairy power."  Rutina Wesley (Tara) says the power "is a funky little thing" and we won't know for sure until season two
• Tara Buck (Fangtasia waitress ginger) says that she'll be back this Sunday and that Sam will hide out in Fangtasia with Eric and Pam
• Nelsan Ellis says it's not one single character that takes Maryann out, but rather it's a "group effort" by allt he good guys
• As far as Arlene and Terry's future, Carrie Preston (Arlene) says, "When you're possessed on the show, the next day, you don't remember. So they can start over—like a reset, a reboot. I think Arlene is constantly searching for the perfect man, and maybe he's going to be the one. I don't know."
• As for Tara and Eggs having a life after Maryann, Rutina says, "I think she is really falling in love for the first time...She's ready to open herself up"
• Oh and did we mention the vampire Queen Sophie is hooking up with Sookie's cousin, Hadley Hale (Lindsey Haun)?  Check out the hot pic below

It's no surprise that another new episode of True Blood drew another record number of viewers.

But it's startling to see by just how many viewers this week's episode set the show's new benchmark.

5.3 million people tuned in to see Bill and Sookie return to Bon Temps on Sunday, a 20% increase over the previous episode's 4.5 million. That's incredible.

We can only imagine what Evan Rachel Wood's appearance will do for the upcoming installment, "Frenzy."

After last week's episode of True Blood ended with a teaser of Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood), the Vampire Queen, we can't help but drool over next week's episode, "Frenzy."

Luckily, HBO has released the official logline from the upcoming episode to tease us just a little bit more.

Bill seeks advice from Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood), the Vampire Queen of Louisiana; Sookie and Lafayette find protecting Tara from herself harder than they thought; Sam turns to an unlikely source for assistance; Jessica tests Hoyt's allegiance to his mother

So, who do you think is the unlikely source Sam turns to?  Discuss in our True Blood forum now!

On last night's True Blood, Jason, Sookie and Bill finally returned from Dallas to find Bon Temps overrun by Maryann-controlled goons.

So what happened when our three heroes joined forces with the ongoing battle being fought by Andy and Sam?  Find out in our "New World in My View" recap.

Now for some of our favorite True Blood quotes from the episode, which were mostly spoken by the always incredible Lafayette.

Bill: Tara, you are safe here. You have to do exactly as I say
Tara: I am not your f**king slave girl
Lafayette: If there ever there was a time to listen to a white man, Tara, this is it | permalink

Lafayette [after reciting a prayer]: Jesus and I agreed to see other people, but that don't mean we still don't talk time to time | permalink

Lettie Mae: If only Miss Jeanette was still alive.
Lafayette [about Tara]: She don't need no backwards witch. She needs Thorazine and padded cell | permalink

Now go discuss the episode in our True Blood forum!

On this week's new episode of True Blood, Sookie and Bill finally go back to Bon Temps. Once there, they find the town overrun by a mysterious power.

The cause? Maryann has pretty much brainwashed everyone. Jason joins the aforementioned pair in taking charge and trying to save the townspeople.

As usual, we'll recap the episode in full soon after it ends. For now, enjoy the following clip from "New World In My View."

Ho hum.

Another week, another record-setting episode for True Blood.

A series-high 4.5 million viewers tuned in Sunday night to drool over Alexander Skarsgard in the buff in "I Will Rise Up," an increase from the 4.4 million people that watched the prior installment.

If you combine DVR and HBO On Demand viewing, True Blood is averaging 11.4 million viewers per episode. Wow.
