NEW Official True Blood Sneak Peek including previously unseen characters plus more details about our 'old favourites!':
Uploaded by trueblood on May 20, 2011
Jessica: 'I can eat whoever I want!' <sniffle>
Eric: 'I'm a tax-paying, American small-business owner in the great state of Louisiana. I also happen to be a vampire...' In the past year there's been a lot of inflammatory talk from politicians warning their constituents not to trust vampires.The truth is that vampires are as different from each another as humans are and we ask only to be treated as such.'
Nan Flanagan: 'It's a post-Russell Edgington world everyone and we win back the humans one.smile.at.a.time. No dead humans!...or I'll have your ass'
Bill: (in response to Nan) 'I'll deal with it personally.'
Jason: 'If you are gonna kill me, do it.'
I've culled about 80 screencaps of this sneak peek which, true to True Blood form, cuts very quickly from scene to scene--so there's bound to be scenes you may have missed.
All-in-all looks quite tasty! And Bill looks super-sharp! (No pun!)...* New haircut. He's lost the Henley...great start.
*though Stephen Moyer looks every inch his 40-year-old self.
It seems the Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) from the end of season 1 is back, albeit in a much more sophisticated form.
SCREENCAPS!:
I do worry though that there is just going to be too much going on to fill 12 episodes. All of the supernaturals are getting involved this season: werewolves, shape-shifters, fairies, vampires of course, and then the plain ol' human...witches...who have supernatural powers. Are we going to spend more time in Hot Shot than Bon Temps?
I'm ready to be pleasantly surprised but I have a feeling that guest actors like the terrific Fiona Shaw are going to be getting too much screen time versus our series' regulars.
I have zero interest in 'Jesus' (Kevin Alejandro) though I love Nelsan Ellis as 'Lafayette.' but with Alejandro moved to featured player--they are gonna get screen time.
Same goes for Joe Manganiello getting featured player status this season.
I have real misgivings about Alcide as he seemed to get shoved aside last year and I don't feel like he's going to get any closer to Sookie this year, hence Joe Manganiello goes off on his own for a good chunk of season 4. I'm feeling like Alcide got saddled with a thankless role (as far as his place in the big story).
Because it has openly discussed and vividly shown in the sneak peeks, my thoughts are that having to endure watching Jason's misadventures in Hot Shot will be dismal. How much gnawing upon Sookie's brother are we gonna have to watch?--'cos if taking the lead from the book, it takes darn near forever to turn a human by biting them.
And seriously, do we need another season of angry Tara (Rutina Wesley)? That girl has had zero growth since the TV series began. Tara has almost no role in the Sookie Stackhouse book series and True Blood would have been better off to have followed the book in that respect. No offense toward any of the actors as I'm refering to how the television characters are written. They wouldn't be on this show if they were not good actors, but the material for several of them has not served them well.
