Carolyn: I would venture to say that Rosalyn is at least 1,500 years old… We’re seeing a promo now… it’s all of us in sort of the monks garb… and Christopher Meloni reveals his face at the very end. It’s the drawing of the blood out of the wrist and all of us authority members, or most of us authority members, are gathered around, and we are very hungry and we’re very excited. Well, you take a look at the robes, and the robes are Dark Ages, Medieval times, so we’re going back some.

Head on over to TV Guide to read about their set visit. The article includes interviews with the cast.
Below is an excerpt:
Christopher Meloni’s face is splattered with blood. He’s just shot his first staking scene for HBO’s megahit True Blood — and he’s seriously amped up.
“When that blood hit me in the face, I went, ‘This looks awesome!’” Meloni says gleefully. It’s nearly 11pm and it took two hours to set up the shot — called a “goo drop.” A bucket of stage blood (with some latex blobs mixed in for guts) is suspended from a scaffold. Just below it hangs an empty suit of clothes matching what the actor playing the doomed vamp is wearing. As the stake goes in, the bucket empties through the garments, and the bloodsucker is no more. There’s only one chance to get it right. And Meloni nailed it.

“At the end of last season, Sookie told all those dudes to back off because she needed to be by herself,” Paquin says. “She’s trying very hard to stay true to that goal of independence, of not being his or his or his…and she’s trying to figure out her own life on her own terms without anyone there to catch her every time she falls. Things will be especially complicated with her and Alcide, since Sookie just shot the head off the former love of his life!”

Gianna: Do you think Luna and Sam are the real deal? Are they meant to be?
Janina: Do I, Janina, think so? YES! I LOVE them together. Finally, a not-so-effed-up shifter who understands her and will adore her for her, drama and all. Does Luna think so? I think she’s a cautious and smart momma. She’s not trying to run to the altar again anytime soon.
