Some True Blood Scoop
TV Guide had the following scoop on Jason and Hoyt for next season:
SPOILERS
Jason Stackhouse will have a new roommate—his ex-virgin road crew pal Hoyt Fortenberry. “Jason lets me sleep on the couch,” says Jim Parrack (Hoyt). “We’re definitely the Odd Couple.”
Bunking with Stackhouse has its privileges. “Rooming with Jason will lead to some pretty adventurous times,” promises Ryan Kwanten (Jason). “He’ll encourage Hoyt to sow his oats. In the first episode, my character wakes up with two women.”
Hoyt gets invited into bed by the three of them, but Jim says, “I decide to stand by my girl” (young bloodsucker Jessica, who made Hoyt a man last season). “So I have to entertain them myself!” continues Ryan, who’s happy Jason finds a more meaningful romance as the season unfolds. “He will find love in the werewolf world.” Definitely news to howl at the moon about!
True Blood Scoop
The EW has some scoop for True Blood.
The new season needs to start soon I need my fix!!!
Caution Spoilers
Question: I’m literally dying for True Blood news. Please save me from dying a slow, painful death. —Demi
Ausiello: Your life-saving scoop has arrived! It’ll take three villains to replace last season’s one Big Bad, Maryann. “We have a triumvirate of evil this season,” reveals exec producer Alan Ball. “I’m talking about Franklin Mott, Russell Edgington, and Debbie Pelt. They are all bad to the bone. They’re not just crazy, they’re evil.” Speaking of the yet-to-be-cast Debbie Pelt, Ball tells me that Alcide’s psycho ex will actually have a bigger role than first thought. “We actually beefed up Debbie,” he says. “She’s going to be in more episodes, so maybe that will have an impact on [what actress] we can get for her, which is a big question right now.”
Question: Loved the pic you snapped of Alex Skarsgard at the Golden Globes. Did you by any chance get any True Blood scoop out of him? —Jessie
Ausiello: No, I just took the picture and ran off. Of course I got some scoop out of him. Specifically, I asked him to give me a preview of Eric’s season 3 journey. “I’d say it’s about revenge,” he told me. “He will continue to explore the whole Sookie thing and what that’s all about. He’s trying to figure out what’s different about her. He’s intrigued by that. And in addition to that, there’s something that happened a thousand years ago that he’s still carrying in his heart. All I’ll say is he’s trying to avenge someone.”
True Blood Scoop!!!
Alan Ball, Sam Trammell, Alfre Woodard and Ryan Kwanten all tell TV Guide little tidbits about sex, romance and characters in season 3.
Here is some of what the article at TV Guide had to say: (SPOILERS)
It also sounds like they’ll be plenty of sex in the season premiere, with Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) ended up in a backwoods Arkansas motel room with a familiar face. “It should be curious and confusing to viewers,” teases Trammell. But Ryan Kwanten says his character, Jason Stackhouse, ups Sam by one. “My character wakes up in the first episode with two women beside him,” Ryan boasts. The actor’s also looking forward to seeing Jason enjoy a more meaningful romance. “He will find love in the werewolf world, and love is a pretty unknown concept for him.”
Read the rest here.
Man I can’t wait to see this season start.
The more I hear the more excited I get!!!

True Blood included in Couch Potato’s The best TV of 2009 list
The Couch Potato has up an article on the best TV of 2009 and of course our glorious True Blood has included.
Below is what they had to say.
See the entire list here.
True Blood
While millions of teenage girls swoon over the “Twilight” series, HBO went for the jugular with its naughty series, where the blood, sex and violence run rampant.
Last year, “True Blood” topped my worst-of list.
But the second season won me over, as it broadened the show’s scope and introduced us to vampires that reside outside of little old Bon Temps. The vampire culture in Dallas, for instance, was awfully lavish: a place where vamps could stay in high-end hotels that cater specifically to their lifestyle (with a room service menu full of people, of course).
The show’s newest vampires were intriguing: Evan Rachel Wood as queen Sophie-Anne and, my favorite, Allan Hyde as Godric, the 2,000-year-old vamp who sired Eric and whose kidnapping sent Sookie, Bill and Eric to Dallas in the first place.
What a great character. Godric was a vampire who showed more humanity than some of the show’s actual humans. His sadness and disappointment about his kind’s often brutal behavior eventually led Godric to take his own life in a touching rooftop scene (“Two thousand years is enough,” he told a devastated Eric. “We don’t belong here. … It’s not right. We’re not right.”).
I was crying right along with Sookie when the sun came up and he said his final goodbye.
Much more entertaining was Jason’s storyline once he returned to Bon Temps, which she-devil Maryann had turned into, quite literally, hell. You can always count on Jason Stackhouse to make a complete fool of himself, and some of the season’s funniest scenes followed his and Andy’s attempts to stop Maryann. In the end, she was finally defeated and all seemed to go back to normal — until Bill was kidnapped in the final moments.
As always, “True Blood” left me wanting more.
