UPDATE 6.05.11! Watch the entire 6-minute opening of Episode 1: True Blood - NEW! First 6 minutes Season 4 Episode 1 - Sookie Meets 'Queen Mab' - [VIDEO] [SPOILERS] #trueblood #screencaps Gary Cole as "Grandaddy' Earl Stackhouse:
True Blood Full 3 Minute Teaser:
Sookie (Anna Paquin) has completed her journey to faeryland. (Get used to the spelling. It is how the cool kids--as well as Charlaine Harris, the author of the Sookie books and the American version of J.K. Rowling, spells it.)
Sookie is led to a super-cheesy-looking faeryland by her 'faery godmother', Claudine. Sookie expresses incredulity bordering on rudeness ('You suck.') when Claudine reveals her identity, though the full-blood faery seems not at all bothered by the comment (You're not dead are, you?').
Since True Blood is all about 'whoops, we got 'ya,' on the predictability scale, epecially important to keep Truebies riveted as the books have long ago been published, the golden faeryland we see may be a cover for something...not so shiny.
Sookie herself has immediate suspicions when the other partygoers including apparent newcomers like Sookie, seem to be getting high on ...fruit.
Sookie also bumps into Barry the bellboy from the hotel upon which Godric, vampire Eric's maker 'met the sun.' Barry too, has a faery godmother--a guy.
As Barry and Sookie are left to 'mingle' by an apparently overworked Claudine, Sookie spots a man who we briefly see in a flashback of Sookie's childhood. She greets him,"Grandaddy Earl?" and he at first knows not who she is. After she identifies herself, Earl Stackhouse (Gary Cole) is incredulous that he just saw her as a child 'last week.' Duh, duh, dun.
