"The Official 'True Blood' Vampire Thread" ...spoilers included.

That trailer is mega awesome looking. So I went through the list of people who appear in season 3 but found no Claudine. I found a natalie and she is the only person I can't place and I dont think she looks like the girl talking to Sookie in the dream world. But I think they are definetley bringing the whole fae world forward.

I just can't wait to see tomorrow's episode ... also I cant believe we had to wait so long for dexter either especially with that ending AHHHH!

Cable these days is such a scam. I want someone to create an "a la carte" package,

They have that... it's called C-Band.

where I can pick any 10 channels I want for like $50 a month.

It's about $65 per month, plus you pay separately for some maintenance which cable companies don't charge you for. And you can't pick any 10 channels, but only the ones where the networks themselves are willing to let their networks be chosen that way.

The reality is that if you want more than six specific cable channels (i.e., ESPN, Disney, CNN, Weather Channel, Discovery, USA, TNT), you're probably paying less the way things are now than you would be paying with a la carte, the way you describe. That does mean, though, that folks who are only using cable for their over-the-air channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW) plus a small handful of other channels, and are willing to do without the variety the rest offer, would pay less.

That is Claudine. I saw it listed on a website somewhere. It listed the casting info, who they casted, and what episode she would appear in. I'll try and find the website again.

I know what you mean...our cable company offers what THEY call an "a la carte" package but it's also a ridiculous scam. They're "a la carte" package is basic cable plus the Bollywood channels (I think there are 2 or 3 of them). How exactly is that a la carte?

That's why I'm saying I want someone to CREATE a real a la carte package. I don't want to pay $65 for what the cable company and the networks WANT me to have. I want to be able to PICK the channels I want. Alas, it will never happen.... too much money to be had for the networks the way things are now.

Very excited for tonight's episode!!!

That trailer looks awesome! I didn't see Frankllin in it though. I hope we get to see more of him. I love psychotic vampires!

He was in bed with Tara at the beginning.

Looks like the rest of the season will be exciting! Definitely better than season 2.

 

[ENSOCK]

wow! I can't wait for next week. But everything they showed after the show is that going to happen next week???

 

[Imzadi]

Something that dawned on me. I think Tommy's father uses him for "dog fights" -- that's why he is all scarred up.

He was in bed with Tara at the beginning.

Naked Alcide!!!

I love me some Eric. Too bad he got his blue sweater dirty. He looked quite nice in it.

This was definitely one of the bloodiest episodes ever!

 

[si-am]

Great episode! Very bloody though, geesh!

(Can anyone tell me why Eric appears to have dyed his hair brown? Is it just me or does it suddenly look really dark?)

I assume because its short it just looks darker? But it was super blonde in season 1.

 

[Imzadi]

I know. I'm not into all this blood and gore vampire stuff. I just watch for Bill and Eric. They just happen to be vampires.

It's kind of slicked back, too. I think the styling product makes it look darker.

MMmm Eric

 

[Imzadi]

Bill killed another vampire for a human. . . although that isn't his biggest problem at the moment.

In the previews, it looks like he's got Sookie's light power - probably from drinking her blood to heal.

 

[Mickey Fliers]

Fabulous episode. I loved Sophie Anne and the lottery tickets.

 

[MK2thcleaner]

Lafayette and Jesus fell apart. Seriously, I was so upset.

I didn't really find Alcide attractive until tonite. His wolf form and then him nakie, ooowwweeee!

 

[Imzadi]

I wonder what it must be like to be the casting director for HBO? "You do know you will have to do some of this show in the nude? We have to audition you with no clothes on to see how you fit the part."

This is the only time I've ever thought that I made a mistake going to dental hygiene school! I should have become a casting director........oh, well, hindsight is always 20/20.

Another GREAT episode...

- The fangs were DEFINATLY the theme of this weeks show, including the blood...Thats the most fang I have seen in 1 episode..

- Alcide...YES PLEASE...but is he a white wolf in the books? I can't remember...

- Franklin - DH tend to think he isnt dead..well final dead..and he is NOT gonna be happy Tara smashed his head in..

- Tara - YOU GO GIRL!

- Lafeyette - Poor guy, but the guys kissing really made me..

- Bill - Wow..his little speech at the end of the episode...AWESOME..

- The Queen - "Run to the Circle K and get $100 more.." Too funny..they let some of that immaturity show through finally that she is supposed to have..

Overall, a good episode...I think I need to re-read the books though..I am beginning to loose some of the knowledge of what I have read and my story lines are blurring together..LOL
