Let’s bring the s4 discussion over here. I’ll contintue posting spoilers to the body of the Season 4 Page on the menu bar but close the comments.
Let’s bring the s4 discussion over here. I’ll contintue posting spoilers to the body of the Season 4 Page on the menu bar but close the comments.
The latest from Ausiello:
Question: How about some Human Target, Vampire Diaries, or True Blood scoop? —Hayley
Ausiello: Eeny, meeny, miny… True Blood! Remember last season’s legendary head-turning sex scene between Lorena and Bill? Well, the word around Bon Temps is that there’s a sequence in the upcoming fourth season that will have folks buzzing just as (if not more) loudly. The character at the center of said scene? One Jason Stackhouse. Hit the comments with your theories!
Question: How will Alcide and Sookie’s relationship evolve this season — if at all? Will Alcide begin to develop real romantic feelings for her? —Adam
Ausiello: “I think Alcide has already developed real feelings for her,” responds exec producer Alan Ball. “But there are certainly obstacles to overcome for both of them.”

Sounds like Jason might be engaging in some bestiality with Crystal. Maybe they’re having sex on a full moon and she involuntarily shifts and bites him. Or she could do it on purpose so as to have a way to breed some fresh blood into her little inbred community. It could sure use some.
Also, that CLOCK! I don’t think I’ve noticed until now how it’s glowing behind SA in that scene.
Cool! I’ll post it to the S4 page. I was just reading your speculation on SVB. Looks like Jason is going to explore the kinky world of shifting. Did we really expect less from him?
Ha! It was inevitable after his s2 convo with Andy.
So do you think if Crystal bites Jason he’ll turn full werepanther, or will he turn into some sort of hybrid to suggest the state of Bill’s shifteryness? LOL.
Now that would be sad! Book Jason really enjoyed being part of the shifting community, especially on full moons when he could run with the others. He’d be the Bubba of the werepanther world. LOL!
In SSN one bite will rarely result in a turning. That’s why Felton held Jason for weeks and bit him daily. Of course AB may have different ideas.
Wasn’t there also a spoiler referring to a metal shack being build? Maybe that’s the place were Jason will be hidden and bitten by Felton as well?
Good point white.lily.
Yes. I think that shack has to be where Felton and Crystal hide out and Jason is later held, or, less likely, where Bill stashes a kidnapped SA.
i agree, i was really joping that AB would keep Jason part of the were animal community on the show.. but there is a spoiler form http://true-blood.net/2011/01/19/spoilers-alcidesookie-plus-season-4s-shocking-sex-scene/
Welcome IATM! It’s great to see you over here!
Jason was so curious about Sam’s abilities, I wonder if he and Crystal and exploring the wilder side of a human-werepanther relationship…if you know what I mean.
OMG i visited this site for the first time yesterday & i completely LOVE IT
you ROCK & this site Rocks..
i just wanted to say that keep up the Great work to everyone who contributes to this site..
You know, even Jason getting it on w/Crystal as a panther isn’t such a surprise. (Wow, I sound jaded.) What if it’s Felton and he sodomizes and bites Jason and turns him into a panther that way? A dude that violent and nasty to his girlfriend might have some latent homosexuality issues.
Since he’s Bill’s doppel, I can certainly see that happening.
I just thought of something even one step further – posted it at SVB, but wanted to add it to the previous train of thought.
If Jason IS raped by Felton, what if AB pulls a Sweet Bird of Youth thing and either:
a) mangles his face like the brothers did to Paul Newman in the film
or b) goes as far as Williams did and castrates him?
I would venture to guess A, simply because Jason probably can’t go without sex for the rest of TB, lol. However, his rep as the stud of BT would be OVER if he had a gigantic scar running down his face, lost an eye, etc….that boy depends on his beauty to get him by. What if his manhood and physique are gone?
I bet if the lights were out, the clock would be shining like when Jessica was talking to Pam.
It looks EXACTLY like a crystal ball even when the pic is enlarged.
Read Veritas_Requiem on binding spirits to objects:
“The point is to trick the spirit into entering the vessel in order to receive whatever form of payment it asks for. ( the vessel should be placed in the triangle..)”
http://www.occultforums.net/angels-demons/3063-binding-spirits.html
Now look at the shape of that clock!
It’s certainly trianglular, even more than the original clock.
With the state of Bill’s house being what it is, it doesn’t make any sense he would change out the mantle clock unless there was a specific reason to do so.
Any ideas about the sculpture at the top of the clock? Looks like a female figure with her right arm extended downward. I can’t make out rest of the details (especially around the sides and the base) very well.
Actually, I see a male figure at the bottom. Is he Atlas?
Also, I’d love to see the title of that book next to the clock. Spells and incantations, perhaps?
Most likely. LOL! I do think we’ll get a close up of it s4. All of Bill’s other books are decorative or used to catch dripping wax from all his candles. That is the only book in the house that he may have actually read.
Sharlove and Renee, I think you are on the money with the book on the mantel. Going back to Elvira Mistress of….Wasn’t there a book hidden by the very handsome pink haired dog? The uncle was looking for the book. Oh I hope it is a spell book. And wouldn’t it be yummy if Sookie finally noticed it. I know, I’m looking for a lottery win again. lol.
season 3 finale…Eric tell Sookie Bill’s big bad.
season 4 finale…Bill tells Sookie Eric’s ig bad. (Hiding LaLa in the DOD)
I think not because of the parallels but because Bill is that spiteful.
Bill is certainly spiteful, but I’m confused. Sookie already knows Eric had LaLa in the DOD.
you are right…I could have sworn there was something about Eric that she didn’t know.
She doesn’t know he called Lorena to Dallas. Dun, da, da, dun…
The latest casting calls are up
! (I’m doing the Caroline Bellefleur dance, lol!)
TRUE BLOOD, Episode 404, “TBD”
Writer: Nancy Oliver
Director: Michael Lehmann
Start Date: 1/26/2011
[CAROLINE BELLEFLEUR] In her 70s, Caucasian, formidable, refined, and beautifully dressed, she is Portia’s (Courtney Ford) grandmother who dislikes vampires but warms to Bill’s charm. Guest Star.
[EMMA] Native American / Hispanic, 6 years old to play 5 years old, happy, playful and talkative, she is the daughter of a shifter and a werewolf. Strong Recurring.
[HEAD PRIEST] Male, Hispanic, 40s to 70s, seen in a flashback to 1610, he instigates the burning of a witch at a medieval church, and he clearly takes pleasure in describing the procedure. 3 lines, 1 scene. Actor must speak Spanish.
Oooh, these are juicy! Caroline would do well to wear a stylish suit of armor made of silver after meeting Bill. Woe is her if he gets angry and she’s a little too handy..I don’t feel good about her chances for survival.
Wondering if the flashback is actually another V trip/time travel and Jesus ‘sees’ what happened to an ancestor.
Emma will be a unique character.
Rofl! My first thought was not that she would be dinner, but you’re probably right.
Looks like Luna will have a daughter.
What was your first thought? You know how elderly women don’t fare well around Bill lol.
My first thought was that there will be a replay of 1.02 with Bill charming 2 generations of Bellefleur women while Andy nearly has a coronary. I wonder if they will reveal the family relationship.
Could be! But you know what happened after he charmed the women in 1.02..I wonder if Bill is the supposed female of the casting spoiler who is trying to get ‘her’ property back and he goes to Portia? The VRA didn’t pass so the Compton manse will be up for grabs.
Yes that’s the perfect way for them to meet.
Thanks for the news! Can’t you just see Andy with Porta and Caroline both batting their eyes at Bill.
Lordy I hope Portia doesn’t bat her eyes at Bill, but if she’s bringing him home to meet her grandmother..ugh..
Andy definitely wouldn’t be too keen on Bill and Portia, after knowing what Bill did to Sookie.
Photos are up at the Vault for the pub being used for the 80′s flashback:
http://www.trueblood-online.com/behind-the-scenes/true-blood-filmed-scenes-in-pub-in-pasadena/
So they filmed scenes there yesterday. They are filming ep 3 right now so we must visit the pub in flashback more than once.
I’m curious to see the 80s flahsback and what the pub will end up looking like. I’ve noticed they’ve included what looks like an Irish flag, a lion flag which looks like the royal standard of Scotland, a Welsh dragon and a Scottish St Andrew’s cross.
@Anna
Nice! I was just about to start researching those.
I might be wrong about the flags but they could have included the Cross of St George as the English flag. The lion is an English emblem as the lion of England is a ‘lion passant’ but on the flag it looks like a ‘lion rampant’. Maybe they’ve gone for a Celtic angle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_%28heraldry%29
The shots we’ve seen of the pub are older (not from while the ep was being filmed). I have no idea if they’re keeping up the flags or not, but the pics are credited to yelp.com and Eyelevelpasadena. I think that’s just how the bar normally looks?
Thanks Skarlove, if it’s an Irish pub that would explain the lack of English and Union flags.
The flags are the St. Andrew’s Cross (Blue and White diagonal – Scotland) and the Scottish Lion flag (yellow with a red lion, the Welsh flag (red dragon on white and green) and the flag of Eire(orange, white and green – Southern Ireland).
@Skarlove
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll add it to the spoiler page when I update it this weekend.
Does anyone know if Lorena is going to be back this season?
@ Jerron
I haven’t heard a thing but hope she turns up in more flashbacks.
@TrueBloodHBO
True Blood Our Maker @HBO has something to tell you. Tune in 15 minutes early to the premiere of Big Love at 9/8c to find out what it is. #trueblood
Although that highly anticipated teaser was absolutey lame, I had to think of you all and your speculation regarding Bills house and use of magic when the text “a NEW spell is casted this season” appeared. Well, English is not my native tongue so I might read too much into this but doesn’t it mean there was an “old” spell before?
Ha! I was tempted to point out the same thing on SVB, but figured they’d heard enough about my magic theories.
I can’t get enough of your magic theories, Renée. I used to be lurking on the TB Wiki and was so amazed that a lot of your “older” speculations had hit the nail so I’m looking forward to any new theories and it will be great fun to see season 4 with all these ideas in mind.
IMO, that’s part of it white.lily. “new” spell, “new” pov..lol, ya’ll had to know I’d bring that up.
Of course MC and TB finally admitted on screen that we’ve been glamoured (by Bill)… *lol*
*snicker* And they sure have made us ‘howl’..in frustration with all the Billshit.
Wha? Could they be good enough to give us a teaser already?
I don’t know but I hope. It’s probably just an ad.
Ok. I give up. Went all over the place and couldn’t find what the mystery was re:True Blood Our Maker. Was it something new or just a rehash of AB’s thanks post s3?
We’ll find out at 8:45 Sunday night.
My bad. I noticed Big Love was on last night and thought that the news was on with it. Must have been an encore of Big Love.
I just realized something odd-we can put a face to every new character appearing in ep one except for Earl. The actor has already shot his scene so why no announcement on his casting? Could there be something about the actor himself that might tip their hand? Or perhaps they’ve cast a fabulous well-known actor and they want it to be a surprise? Either way, the secrecy is intriguing.
What’s curious too is no shots of other characters or is it too early?
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if ASkars dad was playing Earl?
That would be cooler than cool! Please let it be so!
Indeed.
“James” and “Officer Trap” ?? Never heard of them lol.
http://www.trueblood-online.com/season-4/new-cast-for-season-4-episode-2/
Guess they impressed had an in with someone. LOL!
Indeed, these two are clearly impressive people. I find it odd that website gave actor bios instead of character synopsis. Do you remember casting calls for these two? I can’t find them.
There were no casting calls. Maybe they auditioned for parts in an earlier episode and were cast for characters that show up later. There would then be no need to put out a casting call for roles that were already filled and not need to release spoilers about their characters. I have a hard time thinking these are significant roles, though.
Oh yeah, I too doubt they are significant.
I updated the spoiler page.
1. Added James and Officer Trap
2. Added 4.04 casting call
3. Added Aubrey Deeker, the actor who was cast for the YouTube video.
4. Added photes of London club
5. Got a new quote from SM via Mony
Steven Moyer says: “This year, the show is smaller but a lot more intense. It definitely gets better and better, and that’s down to Alan Ball and his writers.”
6. Felton’s in 4.02 and 4.03
7. Under the Fangtasia subheading I added the speculation I posted @SVB about N2 and N3.
8. Added quote from Janina Gavankar: Luna has a big crush on Sam and is making her move on him.
Whew!
http://www.ancientpythoness.com/spoilers/
Hot! Hot! Hot! AS didn’t film the London flashback with SM, Ryan did! How in the hell would Bill know Dermott?
http://www.iamnotastalker.com/2011/01/17/watching-the-filming-of-true-blood/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Iamnotastalker+(IAMNOTASTALKER)
WHAT???? HOW??
OMG, he must be playing Corbett!
I was thinking Dermot, Jason’s evil fairy look a like.
Ah, ok. What was Dermot’s motives in the books? And WHY would he be meeting up with Bill in the 80′s??
Everyone thought he was evil until he showed up in the last book and made a fairy sandwich with Claude and Sookie. Apparently fairies don’t like to sleep alone.
Dermot Brigant
Dermot is Sookie’s great uncle, Niall’s son, and Fintan’s fraternal twin brother. He appears in the novels Dead and Gone and Dead in the Family. He is said to look like he could be Jason’s twin and it is hard to tell them apart. He ends up saving Sookie from being killed by Colman at the end of Dead in the Family.
ITA, that must be Dermot! Wow, if this is the case, then Bill did know what Sookie is before so another lie to be revealed.
It’s concerning there was no mention of Alex at this shoot.
If this is Bill’s flashback it’s going to be a load of BULL.
Oh oh oh! I just thought of something almost too wild to hope for–what if THIS turns out to be the shocking sex scene with Ryan?? OMG..think of that song ‘You Smell Like Dinner’ relating to Bill meeting Dermot and ‘assaulting’ him because of the way he smells?
Paraphrasing SM: “I never thought Bill would be involved in a flashback like this”.
I also would have preferred to see an Eric & Pam flashback but on the other hand I just love this twist that Beel did meet one of Sookie’s ancestors before and with the episode title this might not end too good for Dermot.
Yes! This would have been Bill’s first taste of fairy blood, and I doubt Dermot survived.
Actually, this could be Fintain. TB could easily make the twins identical instead of fraternal, and Fintain never shows up in the SSN because he’s already dead.
Bill must have regretted losing control and set about learning tantric feeding so the next time he found a fairy he could keep her around indefinitely.
Those are my feelings, too. What a missed opportunity for Pam and Eric, but…oh my! This could be a real gift.
Yes, I’m coming around now. This could indeed be a gift. As I mentioned at SVB’s, the song You Smell Like Dinner could also relate to Eric wanting Sookie and the contrast with Bill will once again be striking.
Wow, this is fantastic.
Did anyone notice in the clip that was shot by someone from above, Bill is talking to a female?
Or this could also include Earl’s sacrifice for a loved one, namely his fairy kin. I assume TB Sookie is more fairy than in the books due to her extra powers so maybe in the end it’s not Dermot/Fintan who gets killed but Earl who keeps Bill from draining his kin?
Was there any speculation I missed for whom Earl could be sacrificing himself?
Can we please have this line from Eric to Sookie?
“When you smell like that, I just want to fuck you and bite you and rub myself all over you.”
Oh, mama!
White.Lily
I like that idea, too! Can you just imagine Earl Stackhouse in a punk bar in London? That would be comic genius!
Renée, I would certainly love Earl in a punkbar. I just think it would be such great distinction between the angelic dancing white fairies we have seen before. Although I can’t imagine why Earl would travel to London to meet his kin if there is a portal on the cemetary. That doesn’t really make sense. *lol*
@MC, oh yes please, I have to hear it from Eric/Askars…. and will be passed out for the rest of the show…*lol*
It certainly looks like Bill, but she says it’s a scene between two guest stars. One of them must be Callum.
Could it be someone in drag? How big are “her” feet. I can’t tell. lol
She’s certainly statuesque, too. Reminds me of how Claudine was described as 6 feet tall.
If so, it won’t be a first for True Blood. Yvette Newlin was a man in drag.
And Gran was in Rene’s memory. I’m starting to think there is something to this. What if ‘Dermot’ is in drag, which will give Bill his requisite excuse?
Dermot probably is talking to Callum, and the bartender is warning him to be careful but he goes ahead with a one night stand with Bill.. Something along those lines..
I’m going on body language and a wild guess, but the female seems to be flirting and the pose is almost exaggeratingly ( is there such a word) feminine.
Oh, mama!
We have to have this. They can’t not give it to us.
I posted this at SVB–
Last year we had the flashback of Eric nailing the werebitch to the wall with a knife and giving her his blood. This year it could be Bill nailing a fairy to the wall with forks and taking his blood.
This almost HAS to be the case.
This could also parallel RE picking up the pretty young man and killing him. RE didn’t want blood he wanted closure, but Bill ALWAYS wants the blood when it comes to Fairies.
Oh yes, I really like that and now I can even look forward to the non-Eric flashback.
Although I can’t imagine why Earl would travel to London to meet his kin if there is a portal on the cemetary. That doesn’t really make sense. *lol*
It could be Earl will parallel Sam by seeking out his relatives to find out why he has these strange powers and he ends up in London? Sam found white trash, Earl will find Fae.
Earl’s Stackhouse kin are in Britain after all. He’d be bound to go to the land of his ancestors to seek the origin of his powers.
Lol, sorry to go on and on…Earl seeking his ancestors and finding Fae would also parallel Lala’s time travel-v trip and finding out his ancestor was a conjurer.
Earl is married to Adele at the time and they aren’t wealthy. Humour me. How is he getting to London and where did the extra money come from?
Maybe he didn’t go until he was middle aged because it took him that long to save up the money.
There’s also the clipping Sookie looks at in her scrapbook of Earl saving people from a fire I think. That might be about the time of the flashback.
Right! that could have been the catalyst for the trip. He may have figured it’s now or never.
He could have saved for this trip for a long time? LOL, idk maybe it wasn’t that expensive back then? I have no idea what airfare to London would have been back then but a cousin of mine managed it and she was a starving college student back then.
MC, that is actually a good reason for Earl travelling to seek out his relatives but do you assume he doesn’t know about his heritage? I don’t know but somehow I would like it if Sookie’s granddad actually knew what he was. Unfortunately he died before he could was able to help her with her powers.
Anyway, if Bill did kill one of Sookie’s fairy kin it is not surprising that Claudine only showed up in Sookie’s life when Bill entered. If all vampires were a danger like he is then she should have warned Sookie the moment they came out of the coffin or even earlier than that but she didn’t (at least we are not privy to it yet) and I assume Claudines reference to the first time Sookie drank from the pond was after the Rattray attack.
I can’t think of any reason why Earl would just ‘know’ that he was Fae any more than Sookie did. It makes sense to me that he would try to find out the origin of his powers.
If he died in London sacrificing himself for a loved one he never had the chance to tell Sookie what she is and warn her.
if Bill did kill one of Sookie’s fairy kin it is not surprising that Claudine only showed up in Sookie’s life when Bill entered.
I think they were there all along. She always felt ‘God’ was watching over her, but perhaps it was her Fairy Godmother as MA suggested. But you’re right, Claudine only showed herself to Sookie after Bill entered her life.
I can’t help but connect the possible meeting of Bill and Earl in 1980′s to the death of Sookie’s parents in the 80′s.
If the show is set in 2009 and Sookie is 25, she would have been born around ’85 and the accident would have been around ’90, right?
Did it take Bill that long to learn where the Stackhouses were?
Perhaps this is exactly why Earl sacrificed himself, to prevent Bill from finding his Fae progeny. In which case Bill would have had to do some sleuthing, which most likely would have been more difficult and slow-going for a vampire pre-Revelation.
True. If it turns out that the Stackhouses just happen to live next door to his ancestral home, that will be so lame, though.
But we don’t know for sure ‘Bill’ is Bill Compton. What if he assumed that identity for the express purpose of getting close?
Even if he’s not Bill Compton, his flashback would indicate that he thinks he is…unless it was a completely fabricated dream.
I don’t think it was fabricated. Having done his homework like Somersby, Bill would have built a rich fantasy around his new identity, even to the point that it affected his dreams.
Could this account for the discrepancy of Caroline’s hair? Maybe for some reason he had no choice but to hire a blonde woman with children to pose for the Civil War era photo to plant in the archives, but he really imagines Caroline as a brunette?
That’s what I meant. A dream that had no basis in reality.
Ah, ok sorry. By now he must really believe he’s Compton but I’m beginning to think he was really one of Lorena and Istvan’s ‘marks’ and she was allowed to ‘keep’ him. We’ve never seen a Civil War era flashback of B/L from HER pov.
My fault. I wasn’t clear about it.
This is close to what we’ve discussed before with Istvan and Lorena. If he was one of those serial killers who psychotically take over the lives of those they kill, at this point, he really would believe he’s Bill Compton.
If he was one of those serial killers who psychotically take over the lives of those they kill,..
I remember the discussion about this but I can’t remember the specific serial killer who did this. Was it the one in Chicago? What was his name?
There were a few. I don’t recall their names.
Johann Schmidt is the one I was thinking of– “the Stockyard Bluebeard who immigrated to Chicago from the Mainz-Bingen district in Germany, had a wife named Caroline, and assumed the identities of those he killed..”
http://www.ancientpythoness.com/category/psycho/
Thanks for refreshing my memory, MC.
By now he must really believe he’s Compton…
I kept thinking about this today and wondering: what if all of Bill’s flashbacks aren’t flashbacks at all but are really fantasies that flesh out his character ‘Bill’? All good actors create an off-script backstory for their character, a complete ..
…”biography of the character from birth up to the time the story takes place as well as a psychological profile. Primarily the actor should be interested in what the character is like or what makes him tick. What are his goals, what are his desires, wants and needs in his life. What are his mores, habits, manners, lifestyle and values. What interesting things have happened to him in his life that makes him unique? How does he respond and deal with conflict, crisis, fear and love and why. (Commonplace is not interesting) He must even create anticipation or dread of future events for the character; what is the character looking forward to (or dreading), what goals (specifically) has he set for himself in his life, what does he anticipate is going to happen to him. “Always give the character a secret that only he knows.” – Katharine Hepburn’
http://acting.freeservers.com/BackStory.htm
IOW, a backstory helps the actor to become the role. We’ve all heard stories of actors getting in too deep and actully thinking they ARE the character. I believe this is exactly what ‘Bill’ has shown us in his ‘flashbacks’–the self-created backstory of a fictional character, not the true story of the actual, flesh and blood man who lived in BT and died in the Civil War.
MC, I think you are on to something!
MC, I think you are on to something!
I think so!
I’m not saying the backstory has nothing to do with whoever ‘Bill’ actually is. He just transfers some of his own biography and motivations to his character. For instance, Lorena obviously actually did turn him, but I doubt it was in CW era Louisiana and I suspect those corpses were really the victims of her and Istvan. Whatever happened to ‘Bill’ at the hands of Istvan enraged him enough to send him across the cemetery to kill Gran, as you were saying in the other thread just now.
Sookie: Do you even have any thoughts?
Bill: Oh, I have thoughts. Many lifetimes of thoughts.
Do you think Eric has had many lifetimes or just one long life?
Sookie: Do you even have any thoughts?
Bill: Oh, I have thoughts. Many lifetimes of thoughts.
Do you think Eric has many lifetimes or just one long life?
Wow, I was just thinking today that if you have a TB theory and can’t find any back up for it in seemingly irrelevent text it’s probably not viable. I think this bit of dialogue makes the backstory theory more viable!
Tara in s1 finale to Andy: “I never knew a bird to fly so high it didn’t have to come down sometime”. This is what made me think about the text re theories. This bit so lends credence to your theory that MA was a were-bird shifter.
I randomly started watching 1.03 tonight and got chills when I heard Bill say that after the conversation we just had.
I randomly started watching 1.03 tonight and got chills when I heard Bill say that after the conversation we just had.
Seriously. Now all we need is for Istvan to show up like LS’s maker did in the books, out for restitution for the killing of his child. He’ll know what’s what and who’s who with ‘Bill’.
Was it you who made the point the other day that Lorena actually saved Bill’s life? That still stands, I bet. Istvan wanted to dispose of ‘Bill’ like all the others but Lorena saw something in him she wanted so Istvan allowed her to save ‘Bill’ by turning him.
I’m still not convinced that Earl went to London. Saving his money aside. From what we do know the Stackhouses weren’t spendthrifts. Any money saved would have gone to look after the homestead. Perhaps the sacrifice was to save Adele?
IDK how a flashback saving Adele would fit into the narrative or who would remember it.
If Earl isn’t in the London flashback, I think he’s in Fairy Land in the present.
I agree he could be in Fairy Land, I’m just having a really hard time reconciling him being in London.
Dermot yes, the rest I have to think on.
IDK how a flashback saving Adele would fit into the narrative or who would remember it.
Perhaps something as simple as seeing Sookie and she reminds him of his Adel? There may be more than one flashback. London separate from Earl’s. IDK.
Yeah, I’m just speculating. I have NO idea if Earl will be in London. I think there are good parallel’s for it but that doesn’t mean it will happen.
That would work for me.
I just checked the Arcana site on the Stackhouses and I believe Earl wasn’t the first fairy descendant and that might be how Bill learned about them or better put 1 and 1 together remembering the rumours about them when he lived in Bon Temps in his human life and reading fae mythology.
In the arcana there are interesting comments about “smelling the history” of the Stackhouses. That would also fit to Maryann chosing the Stackhouse place to live in and hold her ritual.
Comment Karl: “And the Stackhouse place well, the sense of history that permeates it, it’s invigorating. You can almost smell and taste all the events that have unfolded there for the last 150 years.”
Lala: “Earl Stackhouse, had some special ability of his own, not that he eva talked ’bout it to anybody, ‘cept fer Adele,..”
Lala: “You wanna know what the big beatin’ heart of Bon Temp is, ya just take one look at Adele Stackhouse. Now that woman was born givin’ and she ain’t stopped since. If ya ever go ta ‘er house, you’ll smell the deliciousness two miles down the road.”
Lala “The Stackhouse clan been good people in Bon Temps for, shit, a ways back, and Gran Stackhouse is as close to a livin’ legend as this town got. Course every family has one or two dark horses, and the Stackhouses ain’t no exception–an ounce of telepathy here, a pinch of mental illness there, and no thang.”
Now I’m more inclined to believe that whoever Bill met in London was more of a fairy than Earl maybe Earl’s grandfather (someone looking like Jason) being a full fairy. If Jason would be a lookalike of Earl wouldn’t we have seen family photos or comments on this? Also when Gran talked to Sookie I had the feeling Sookie did not know Earl herself.
Wow! All that sensory imagery associated with the Stackhouse place is certainly intriguing. It makes you think that surely Bill noticed something about the place or the people.
If Earl is in London, I don’t think that was the part Ryan was playing. There was a casting call to play the middle aged Earl. It was described as a fabulous guest starring role in which Earl would save a loved one. Hm…that doesn’t sound like a lost relative, but I digress. If Earl was in London, I think he tracked Dermot to that bar. That would be the role RK is playing.
It was described as a fabulous guest starring role in which Earl would save a loved one. Hm…that doesn’t sound like a lost relative
How about this scenario? Earl tracks Dermot to London but he doesn’t go to the bar he goes to Dermot’s apartment. He shows up in the middle of Bill making a meal of his poor fairy one-night stand, Bill smells that Earl is also Fae, and tortures him for the names of his kin. Like Bill did in the books, he refuses to name names or give any information at all resulting in his death by draining. Thus, he sacrifices himself for his loved ones.
I more and more believe that Earl never was in London now. I believe Bill searched for a full fairy which in this case would be Dermot/Fintan/Niall or whoever that is. Or Bill was being observed by Dermot to find out how far he would get with his fae research but he never met him.
I believe that Earl sacrificed himself for his family, maybe believing with him the interest in the Stackhouses would die as his kids did not seem to have any special abilities. If he was already dead when Sookie was born he had no idea that the next generation would be gifted again.
White lilly where are you getting this dialogue from? Is it a sneak preview?
camp, I’m not sure what you mean but if it’s the point about Earl sacrificing himself for a loved one that was mentioned in the casting call for his role. His scene is supposed to be a flashback. Was this your question? The other stuff is just speculation as Stephen Moyer and Ryan Kwanten were on the set of the London flashback scene. There is a link somewhere from a person who was there when they filmed.
Oh I think I was a little slow and believe you were referring to the quotes I copied farer up. These are extras on the Blue Ray DVDs of the first two seasons. You can read all this, thanks to the people who did the work in transcribing it btw, on this site here.
http://www.ancientpythoness.com/arcana/
Something’s bugging me about the RK/Dermot/London theory. Jason has a blood type and Sookie doesn’t, so how could he be “fae” enough to have an identical fairy relative? If the blood type thing is irrelevant to Sookie’s fae essence, then why was it highlighted in the hospital?
IDK. TB Jason seems to have more fae in him than Book Jason, but he was a dead ringer for Dermot.
My feeling isn’t that one is fae and one isn’t but that the fae genes are expressed more in Sookie.
I think it’s just a matter of fae traits skipping a generation and landing randomly on siblings, somewhat like a tornado.
One could get the looks of the Fae relative, the other could get the fae traits/lack of blood type etc.
I think AB explained it some time ago saying that Jason’s fairy genes were recessive or something. I should have paid more attention to genealogy in school…*lol*
Just to recap. In the books we had Niall – who had three children, i.e. the twin brothers (both Jason-look-alikes) Fintan (coupled with Adele) and Dermot (not knowing if he ever had children) plus a daughter (dont know if we ever learned her name) who gave birth to the triplets. So the woman in that video Bill is talking to could also be Claudine’s mother, right?
Is there any picture of TB’s Stackhouse family tree where we can see if Earl had brothers and/or sisters?
I don’t think we’ve ever gotten a good look at any historical Stackhouse photos and the family tree that FM found just traces Earl’s line.
A few weeks ago I predicted that in 4.02 we’d meet the mother of Jesus or Claudine. I just wrote a post about Antonia being Jesus’ mami, and now you’ve got me thinking that Claudine’s mom may be in this ep, too.
Don’t know how we could confirm that though.
I think you post about Antonia is spot on. I’m not sure what to make of Claudine and her relatives but another thought came to me regarding Queen Mab. When AB was talking about the fairies he used to mention that they wouldn’t be like Tinkerbell. Now if you look at the original book of Peter Pan which is “The Little White Bird”, there’s also a fairy Queen Mab who lives in London’s Kensington Gardens ruling over the fairies who enjoy dancing but can also be quite fierce when a human remains in their realm after locking the gates. It at least makes the London flashback much more interesting and maybe Bill is even speaking to her in his flashback?
The girl also changes at night when it turns dark and the fairies can change the time.
That’s the most interesting chapter:
http://www.literature.org/authors/barrie-james-matthew/the-little-white-bird/chapter-17.html
I just checked the first spoiler page and there was also the speculation if Queen Mab might be Claudine’s mother. Maybe she is angry because Sookie entered Fae Land.
There is also a round pond in Queen Mab’s garden.
Oooh! Can’t wait to get home and check that out. Thanks for the info.
Just found this:
True Blood: Season 4 will find Jason Stackhouse “dealing with the highs and lows of being in love” with Crystal, previewed Ryan Kwanten. “Jason in particular doesn’t seem to pick his female companions too well. Crystal turns out to be not what he was expecting. It’s a very rough road. Plus he’s also now a cop. And if anyone shouldn’t have a gun and shouldn’t have any sense of authority it’s Stackhouse.”
Interesting. So he goes ahead and becomes a cop. I honestly didn’t expect that but I should have, seeing as he’s Sheriff Eric’s doppel.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing, Osterby.
Looks like we definitely have a time jump. Have you seen this from the GG last night?
Todd Lowe says, “There’s a new presence in Terry and Arlene’s (Carrie Preston) life.” We asked if this new presence were a baby or a monster, and Manganiello teased, “Both! Have you seen The Fly? It’s like that.”
Read more: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b221032_inside_hbos_globes_bash_dish_on_true.html?cmpid=sn-000000-twitterfeed-365-kristin&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=twitterfeed&utm_campaign=twitterfeed_kristin#ixzz1BKoeStyt
OK, who’s calculating. From when Arlene suspected she was pregnant.
That should give us the time jump, right?
I dunno. Couldn’t Todd have been referring to the fact that they’re being haunted by Rene’s spirit? Or something to do with the spirit inhabiting the baby?
I just can’t get on board yet with a time jump. I’ve satisfied myself that Bill was lying when he claimed he ‘lost time’ in wherever he was, which was the same place Sookie went and she didn’t lose any discernable time that I can see.
I’m still not seeing a FL time warp, but if Jason’s a cop and they know what the baby is, I think Stepford Sookie has been playing house with Bill for a looong time.
I’m reminded of Talbot’s words about his 700 years with RE feeling like 7,000.
All true Renee, but Jason was on the fast track to becoming a cop. All he needed to do was pass the physical and written exams–he didn’t need to go to the academy at all. And DO they know what the baby is? I suspect these comments from Todd and Joe were diversionary and MEANT to suggest a baby, but do they actually? All Todd said was a ‘presence’ which could literally mean anything on this show, lol, and Joe took it and ran with it after the ‘baby or monster’ prompt from the interviewer. The 700/7,000 comment combined with Bill’s lie about losing time could be a red herring. Talbot’s comment suggested time moving at a snails pace and Bill’s suggested an acceleration of time.
Well, you know I don’t listen to a thing Bill says, but I imagine Stepford Sookie to be feeling a lot like Talbot.
You’re right, though. These comments don’t prove a time jump, but they may be suggestive of one.
Well, I will freely admit that I am biased. I do not want a time jump. I LIKE the day to day in the lives of these characters–the intimacy, the immediacy, and the urgency of the events unfolding. I LIKE watching the process of how they get from here to there. I feel like if we have a time jump I will feel disconnected from the lives of these people I’ve come to love so dearly because we will have missed so many lovely details that we could never get back. We can get a general sense of the intervening events through flashbacks but THAT would be wholly unsatisfying in my opinion. It would be WORSE if they only showed us the consequences wrought by the passage of time.
But, really, I’m just not convinced yet. I promise I will face reality if or when the day ever comes that a time jump is proven LOL.
Sunny I’m still stuck on Todd’s comments. Something if different for Terry and Arlene than last season and if your theory about Holly’s ritual releasing Hallow’s spirit from the baby is right…then it’s not Hallow’s presence.
It sounds to me like the baby has been delivered and Arlene still thinks it’s evil, but Terry has a different opinion.
These comments don’t prove a time jump, but they may be suggestive of one.
Picky…Picky…Picky. ROTFL.
Sunny,
I understand how you feel, but this may be a way for Stepford Sookie to stew for a good long time in her own juices without us having to watch.
AE should arrive in January, and if I’m counting right, that would would work for the baby, too, if it was a bit premature.
There should also be a corresponding time period for Tara’s return, right? Since she is Sookie’s main dopplel Tara should return from her reboot about the same time.
I probably AM being too picky. If we do get a time jump I’m sure it will be something I can live with. LOL.
Don’t worry. Been there, still there, and it’ll only get worse before the show is over.
I still fret over:
Not getting to see Eric dealing with the maenad.
Not getting to see Bill murder Olivia.
Not getting to see Bill murder Caroline.
Fakety fake bullet sucking.
We may never get to see the reality of ANY of this and I get a facial tick when I think of the loss. LOL.
I am CERTAIN some of your list will be resolved. After all, didn’t you take a lot of flack for 2 seasons, about the Ratts and Bill watching? And then we got the very satisfying reveal.
Yeah, I took a lot of flak from BL’s and a little from EL’s who thought AB would never go there, but I’m at the acceptance stage and fully expect most of my theories to remain just that.
I could show you but would you happy with just a consolation prize?
Do tell?
Extremely soon. You once asked why he was using pulling from everywhere and I called TB a huge pot of jambalaya but I think we should be asking why everything he uses fits so well into each other. You could find a connection in anything if you look hard enough but it’s going to get ridiculously wrong. I’m going to put up two of them tonight before I forget, again.
Those are things I am increasingly confident will be resolved, whether they are explicitly shown or not.
Well, I’m fairly confident we’ll see a news report of the death of Olivia but it probably won’t be clear at all if she was killed by a vampire or left exposed to the elements.
The fact that there is a news report about her death is all that matters. Not everyone will accept it, but we will know.
That’s true, and if they can’t actually tell what killed Olivia because of animal scavenging the audience will be reminded of what happened to UB.
You may be picky MC….me, I’m confused. Is there a time jump…there’s no time jump. Arghh.
Yeah, I think this is part of the strategy. AB and Co. know we think Sookie is in Faeland, and Bill claimed a time loss, so therefore we’ll get a time jump.
But it all comes down to: IS Sookie REALLY in Faeland? Time loss, time jump, it’s all a moot point if she’s not there. Of course, it could be like Renee says and a time jump happens without a Faeland time warp whether or not she’s actually there.
I updated the spoiler page with Osterby’s info about Jason’s new career, Todd Lowe’s news about the ‘new presence,’ and the account of the filming the 80s flashback.
Here’s an ugly thought. Re” Filming Last Night @SVB.” and the leak at the London Pub flashback. I find it a teensy odd that both occurrences have people witnessing events and yet not able to identify participants. That on the heels so to speak of the teaser released by HBO this past Sunday.
Maybe I’m just too suspicious. Sure is causing a buzz in fandom.
It is weird BG. So far not a single witness to this latest shoot knows anything about TB. One says it was ‘Erick and Zuckie’ another says the main blonde girl and the ‘main vamp guy’, and yet another only mentions the black ‘vampire’ who looked ‘gay’. Otherwise, no details at all are forthcoming. I can only hope somebody will post something useful, and soon.
It sure is weird MC. With cell phones all over the place and yet, in one case no one could sneak a shot pfft. Actors can’t pick their nose without someone getting a shot. The Pub scene got pictures but was unclear as to who was in the shot and didn’t know about the show 2xpffft. Why the hell would you be interested if you didn’t know about the show or the actors involved.
I have dissected your website and I can’t get enough. I should be cleaning my house or “Walking my dog in a canyon,” but nope I am reading comments. I thought I might give you some information. My friend who lives in La Puente got to be an extra last night on TB set. He was standing there trying to get an Autograph. He said they shot over 30x and he had to keep walking back and forth pretending to text. He told me Alexander was there, Ann,Lafayette and Jesus too. He also said it looked like they were going to film in a shop but they didn’t need him for that so he didn’t get to see. He said the name on the shop was called Moon Goddess. Okay…… let’s hear the thories
Welcome, Mony! Thanks for the scoop!
I heard they were filming in La Puente last night, but there was some uncertainty as to whether Eric or Bill was there.
Moon Goddess…that must be Marnie’s place, right? According to the casting calls in 4.01 the covent casts a spell, which I assume to be the one that will get us AE. The one for Daisy said she’d go to FT in 4.02. The Scooby gang tracked Marnie down quickly!
I’ll go out on a limb and predict that Sookie will meet a witch who will try to attack her in this episode.
1.03 Sookie meets Bill’s bad buds and gets attacked by Jerry
2.3 Sookie meets a maenad and gets attacked
3.3 Sookie meets a werewolf, but Eric thwarts his attack.
Yeah! Something concrete. Thank you mony.
I just thought that they might not track her down so quickly but were led to her by Jesus. So I hope if Sookie gets attacked by witch, it won’t be Hallow herself but someone from her coven.
Good point about Jesus’ role in this. If Sookie is attacked by a witch, I imagine it will be Daisy or someone of her caliber. They’s probably save a confrontation between Hallow and Sookie for the climax of the witch storyline.
Great news, Mony! Finally someone who made out the vampire. *lol* Wonderful, I just hope Eric is already amnesiac and they are searching for a witch to undo the spell.
Alcide and Sookie??? K, me confused…if Sookie is with Eric at Moon Goddess…why would things be heating up with Alcide and Sookie?
http://www.tvline.com/2011/01/ask-ausiello-spoilers-on-house-fringe-glee-true-blood/#more-185267
Eh…They may flirt a bit, but I don’t take Alcide as a serious contender. In DTTW Sookie pretended to be Alcide’s fiancée and had to act the part. Maybe something like that is going on.
Yeah, your right! All better now. But hey, I was just over at Sunny’s poking around. If Sookie is ASookie, could LaLa, Jesus and Eric be taking Sookie to see a witch to make her Sookie again?
That’s a great idea!
Damn straight it’s a great idea!
Moon Goddess…that must be Marnie’s place, right? According to the casting calls in 4.01 the covent casts a spell, which I assume to be the one that will get us AE. The one for Daisy said she’d go to FT in 4.02. The Scooby gang tracked Marnie down quickly!</I
LMAO @ The Scooby gang! It must be Jesus who could track her down so quickly, right? Or maybe they're tracking the only known coven in the area which would be the #1 suspects, I suppose.
This is so exciting! I hope Tara is there as well. I was thinking she might not go anywhere. Remember in season 2 when Sookie–a little conceitedly, but still– 'look what happened' when she went away to Dallas? Hopefully Tara will realize Sookie needs her too much so she turns around and goes home.
LOL, I guess it’s too early to tackle html tags.
Hey, made a prediction about Tommy @ SVB’s:
http://www.sookieverseblog.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1127
The Calvin parallel is too precise to ignore. Supe, killed by Sam, revived by vampire blood. Only Tommy will have to be turned in order to save him. Jessica? Bill? Eric? Pam? I can’t guess right now whether Sam leaves him to die and a vamp happens by–lol–or if Sam actually takes him to a vamp. What say you guys?
I don’t want Sam to shoot Tommy. I want him to shoot to the side or above his head or whatever. Oh crap, what if Tommy turns into a bird which he has before and the intended miss hits the flying bird?
If Tommy is shot, I think he’ll take him to Eric. That thought is based only on the scenes in s2 where he went to Eric for help with the maenad. If he does shoot Tommy, I think the remorse will be epic.
Oh man, this is sounding more and more like the way Hoyt would become a vamp, too. from a stray shot from his mother.
I think it is inevitable that there will be a “Bubba”. The question remains, which one, Hoyt or Tommy. Although there is that spoiler about someone making an offer to Tommy, so maybe he’ll be ok. I don’t particularly like the character Tommy, I feel sorry for him with saggy underwear dad and co-dependant mom.
I totally think the offer might be ‘would you like me to turn you?’ kind of like Godric with Eric. Whoever heard of a ‘prospector’ in this day and age? So there remains the chance a stranger could turn Tommy.
There is a shifter turning vamp in CH’s books. That didn’t out well in the end.
The prospector. What is he prospecting for? Lunch?
I can’t find his casting call with a quick glance, but I think prospector dude turns up in a later ep? Not sure, but they’ve been posting casting calls well after the fact so this could be a ruse to throw us off.
Casting Call- Paul McClatchy..This slick, professional-looking prospector in a suit works for an energy co. and makes Tommy an intriguing offer. 2 speeches and 4 lines, 1 scene (37)
The term prospector stikes me as one of those archaic terms that may still have meaning in the vampire world. This could be someone like a procurer who ‘prospects’ for humans with hidden talents to turn. If that’s the case, then Bon Temp would be an effing gold mine.

I agree, very good point.
He also works for an energy company. It can’t be a coincidence that the only video version of ‘if you love me, why am I dyin’ happens to highlight the Gulf oil disaster.
The archaic term for prospector you mention elicits only one thing….OH OH.
Prospecting is also associated with the oil industry and Sookie and Jason did have a couple wells on thier property in the books.
He could take Tommy to Eric but Eric suggests Pam do it. His comment about how it’s time for her to become a maker could be foreshadowing. But I don’t know why she would turn a kid she doesn’t even know? Regardless, wouldn’t it just be the shizz to have another vamp/shifter to illustrate what’s going on with Bill? Yeah baby!
There is Jess, as you mentioned on SVB. She may be closer than Eric or Pam. But she’s tied up with Hoyt in their little love nest, last we saw. Than again, there’s that creepy little baby doll.
LOL! Keeping up with this convo on two fronts is challenging!
At first I was going to say that Eric would probably heal Tommy but not turn some kid he doesn’t know. On reflection, I could see Eric doing it because of his relationship with Sam.
This would do is allow Tommy and Jessica to develop a romantic relationship without any unhealthy incestuous complications.
I really do think Hoyt will be brain damaged Bubba, their perpetual 6th grader.
I agree and in the books Eric was delighted when Sam owed him a favour.
I also put my bets on Hoyt. Jason also called him Bubba all the time – ok I learned that this is a normal nickname for a buddy in the South but then again I can’t remember that any other person was called Bubba apart from Hoyt.
MC, this dialogue was quite irritating as on the S2 arcana site there is a comment from Pam that she turned someone called Collin in 1906. OK, she was a baby vamp at that time so Eric might not regard this as being a true maker.
After seeing how seriously Eric takes being a maker, I’m not sure how much of what Pam said was true and how much was an adolescent vamp spinning a wild tale to titillate the impressionable humans.
If Sookie is ASookie, could LaLa, Jesus and Eric be taking Sookie to see a witch to make her Sookie again?
Ok, here is what I think might happen: I very much doubt that ASookie will accept that someone, particularly Bill, has put a spell on her. If she has partial amnesia she might attribute her ‘forgetfulness’ to something that happened while she was supposedly in Faeland. She won’t accept it when Eric tries to tell her what she’s has ‘forgotten’ she learned about Bill recently. Something will have to be done and since I think she would certainly see by then that something is drastically wrong with Sam she could be convinced by the others that witchcraft had something to do with it. (in a nice parallel, what’s wrong with Sam is basically the same thing that wrong with her–Bill’s bad blood). What if the others enact a ruse and convince her they need to seek the withces/witch supplies, whatever, in order to help Sam?
IDK, I think one of the the reasons for giving Eric amnesia is so that no one realizes what’s going on with Stepford Sookie.
In the book it was raining the night Sookie found AE, so I’m wondering if this is that night. I don’t know how everyone would get to the Moon Goddess so quickly though.
I think one of the the reasons for giving Eric amnesia is so that no one realizes what’s going on with Stepford Sookie.
Right, this is the reason BILL will give him amnesia via one of his witches.
IDK how it will all go down, but I just can’t see Sookie accepting that there is anything wrong with her. Maybe in the course of helping AE she helps herself.
so is the theory that Bill knows witches as well??
Hi IATM.
Totally, Bill knows witches. Check out this piece by Renee, and be sure to click the links:
http://www.ancientpythoness.com/2011/01/06/bills-a-magic-man/
I don’t know how everyone would get to the Moon Goddess so quickly though.
In the most recent interview with Sam T. he mentions that they are frequently filming scenes from several eps at once. Maybe this is a scene that takes place in ep 4 or even 5.
I wonder who will be the sacrifice for that particular ritual.
Which ritual BG?
Perhaps I used the wrong word. What I meant was, someone would have to die in order for a curse to be activated(?) for AE. I think.
Marnie’s coven could easily be reduced by one.
Aha. Good thought. I was hoping it wouldn’t be someone we know and enjoy.
OMG. Since my husband is out of town I went stalking and guess what I discovered…True Blood filming at Alex’s bar (fangtasia). I ask the security guard who will be there and he said all the cast. But they wont be there till night (duh!). I got a picture of the parking lot with sookie’s car. I think i’ll be going down there around midnight. Side note how do I show you guys the pictures
Hi mony, I logged on just now and your comment is the first thing I see in my inbox! What luck lol.
Upload your pics here and post the link here in the comments:

Can’t wait!
Mony–
Thanks so much for sharing these pics. It does my heart good to see the the little yellow beacon of light that is Sookie’s car.
Peeps–
Here are the pics from Mony’s TB sighting on Friday. I added them to Filming News on the S4 Spoiler Page.

Lucky you, mony.
Sookmobile, I love it Renee.
So, we can surmise she is at FT. Helping Eric, looking for help from Eric or Pam? More Pam I hope.
An after hours meeting between AE, Sookie, and Pam?
Sunny identified the truck behind Sookie’s car as Hoyt’s. It also looks like a police car and maybe Sam’s Bronco are there.
Via SVB:
TRUE BLOOD, Episode 406, “I Wish I Was the Moon”
Director: Jeremy Podeswa
Writer: Raelle Tucker
Location: L.A.
Start Date: Approx. 2/4
[MAVIS] Female, African American, 20-30 years old. She is a sad-eyed girl dressed in a modest 1930s dress. RECURRING GUEST STAR. Must speak with a Cajun accent.
But damn, we’ve skipped right over 4.04 and 4.05.
Wonder who Mavis is? Could she be a relative of Lala and Tara?
We got the casting call for 4.04, but not the title. I guess there are no new characters in 4.05. That should make people very happy. LOL!
Yeah, that’s a good thing! But I would love to get those ep titles.
Good Lord! I just realized the approx. start date of filming ep 6 is 2/4! I thought they just got done filming ep 3 since it started 1/10. By 2/4 they should only be midway through 4. This either means scenes from prior eps will still be filming when they begin 6 or they started shooting much earlier than we thought. Wasn’t there a comment from KB about AS filming near the middle or end of Nov?
I Wish I Was the Moon” – Neko Case
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become
I’m so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight
Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
‘Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
I’m so lonely
I wish I was the moon tonight
God blessed me, I’m a free man
With no place free to go
I’m paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear
This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become
I’m so tired,
I wish I was the moon tonight
How will you know if you found me at least
‘Cause I’ll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I’m so tired, I’m so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight.
do you guys think this is our Viking??
Could be!
Kevin Alejandro confirms TB will “pick up where we leave off with that true True Blood style”
http://latina.com/entertainment/tv/kevin-alejandro-southland-most-stories-you-see-are-true
@IATM
Thanks for the info and the song. I’ll update the spoiler page tonight.
Mavis certainly sounds interesting. She’s gotta be in an ongoing flashback or vision. An AA Cajun is very unusual and certainly doesn’t scream voodoo priestess the way a creole would.
@MC
I don’t think Kevin would be messing with us with that statement, especially since he isn’t involved in one of the cliff hangers.
I don’t think so either. Unlike ST, he doesn’t even seem aware there is a debate over the question of a time warp or jump.
Lol, I should have finished my thought. I say this because Kevin offered this info without being asked while ST was coy when an interviewer asked him directly if TB would pick up where it left off.
I’m not at all certain that the song refers to Eric in whatever state he may be in. AB is sneaky. I mentioned @SVB, that AB KNOWS how much many of the fans want a certain plot line to go and just to be contrary (want to tell his own version) he’ll change things up.
Maybe it’s the weather here that’s making me so morose. LOL
These lyrics make me think it relates to ASookie:
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become
Eric couldn’t possibly think he’s young, and unless he’s drained—like what is always happening to poor Sookie–I can’t think how it would relate to him. “Numb” is also a good word to describe Sookie.
Possibly MC. I was thinking maybe Jessica or Hoyt.
i was hoping that this song in epi 6 would relate to AE’s storyline appearing midway in the season..
if Laffy is the one who finds AE anyway that is how he ends up in the Merlotte’s freezer.. then i’m speculating that since Sookie is back at work she finds him & takes him home.. then the official sex scene wont occur till epi 10 & the witch war will end in epi 12 & Eric get’s his memory back when Hallow’s spirit is casted out of Marnie..
In the books, does ‘witch war’ refer to good vs. bad withces, or does it refer to humans battling bad witches? How exactly did that go down?
Trying to remember if any of the good witches actually fought with the vamps and Weres…I don’t think so. Haven’t gotten that far in my reread, yet.
At least one of the BT good witches was in the bad witches’ building and ended up being a hostage. Sookie saved her.
I don’t think we actually see any good witches working with the other supes until Sookie goes to NO and meets Amelia in 2 books.
I don’t think we actually see any good witches working with the other supes until Sookie goes to NO and meets Amelia in 2 books.
Hmm, wondering if this means Sookie will go to NOLA to fetch Tara. It does seem inevitable that Tara is taking over the Amelia role.
Also, and I might be mistaken, but doesn’t book Sookie clean out Hadley’s NOLA apartment after she dies?
Oooh oooh. Wouldn’t Sookie cleaning out a murdered Hadley’s apartment be a good parallel to her going through Gran’s stuff in 2.02?
I think you’re on to something again MC. It would be a good parallel.
Now that I’ve finished the DTTW reread I can report:
Holly was a good Wiccan who Hallow co-opted. Sookie found her at the bakery/flower shop acting as lookout. Holly identified 3 other innocents inside: an elderly witch, a man with a birthmark on his face, and a young woman with pink hair. Sookie sent Holly home and saved the first two. Pinky was killed.
A group of good wiccans/witches did allie with the weres and vampires. They staid outside the building and cast spells to help the fighting and to illuminate the innocents. None of them were really introduced into the story and Sookie didn’t interact with them.
yea in DTTW Hallow & her coven were the “Bad” witches.. Holly was a “Good” wiccan ..
Hallow forced Holly to assist her ..IDK, how AB is going to do this since Jesus, Laffy & Holly & possibly Tara all will have some sort of witch power’s..
the witch war simply was about Hallow’s coven trying to take over Shrevport & since she was part wolf in the book Alcide’s pack was worried about her trying to take over there territory ( since Hallow’s coven were wolves who did V & practiced magic)..
on TB since AB had Russell with the V addict wolves then Hallow’s clan/ coven might be after Territory / power on the show..
Thanks IATM.
Here are this site some people try to find a meaning to the song:
http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858500455/
and here is a piece of what was said in the comments:
the heart is not in their chest; rather, it is outside, on watch (“in my
lap”)… faith in love’s redemption is leaving the person as they try
to figure themselves out … but the spirit tries to hold on… and so
Neko has us turned to Nature, to the moon…
Thanks for link IATM. Since I’m a dunce when it comes to poetry, every bit helps.
“Thought that I was young”- could be immortal, being young, of the same age for eternity. “I am so tired”, this person feels the burden of years gone by, that is why I think an immortal would fit in too. The fear of not knowing how this change came to be (a possible spell), no pill for this ailment…he is scared, tired, confused. He is looking for a connection, a place that he would recognize, his heart is looking for someone who cares for him and he hopes that this person understands who he is (“I am the one with my heart in my lap”). How would you ladies interpret this?
Frankly, it still sounds like Sookie to me. These lyrics:
God blessed me, I’m a free man
With no place free to go
I’m paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear
..fit almost perfectly with a theory of mine and Renee’s that Bill will treat ASookie like RE treated Talbot, keeping her locked away in his house without freedom of movement.
oh i forgot about that speculation of you guys thinking that Bill has Sookie locked away in his house right?? & she never went to Faeland at the end of s3??
well from all the Titles we have so far
1. She’s not There
2. you smell like dinner
3. if you loved me why am i dying
6. i wish i was the moon..
so are you speculating that Bill has kept Sookie locked up in his house for 6 episodes??
no one knows where she is for 6 episodes??
I don’t think she’s locked away in the sense that she’s literally a prisoner. Think of how RE kept Talbot alone and isolated in that big ol’ mansion. He was clearly literally free to leave but for some reason he stayed home when he was told.
Talbot wasent locked away he was a house wife.. & he was a spoiled one ..Russell said “are your diamond slipper’s chafin”??
Talbot was from Royalty if i recall the actor saying that about his character.. Isabel on the Blu Ray was also from Royalty & she asked her vampire lover to turn her same as Talbot..
Talbot was a Drama Queen..
i think Talbot missed Russell’s company because Russell was alway’s built on traveling for his “Meaningless shit”.. Russell gave Talbot a house full of other men to play with but what Talbot wanted was Russell to spend more time with him.. i mean they been togather for 700 years & Talbot was still very clingy… lol !!
as for Sookie though, if Bill under your theory has Sookie mentally as a prisoner & able to go to work & no one is the wiser that really isnt any different from what has been going on in the last 3 seasons..
AB casted Portia this season, & she was a book character from LDID.. i think AB plans to use her character to make Sookie jealous.. Sookie see’s Bill & Portia & get’s jealous thinking they are in a relationship.. Bill will be actually helping Portia with Andy ( because i think Andy will get in trouble for the V he stashed in his desk).. in book 2 LDID Bill helped Portia with Andy..
It certainly looks like that’s Portia’s function. I’m just not sure about the timing for Bill and Portia’s romance. She may help him with a legal problem at the beginning of the season, then he may help her with the Andy problem before using her to make Sookie jealous.
BTW, didnt Andy turn the v to the DEA?
Andy kept some of the V in his deask.. at first i was thinking he was going to use it for his arm ( since he still has the cast on his arm ).. so he kept some of the evidence from Hot Shot..
he is going to get busted & since Portia is a Lawyer she will need some help to clear Andy’s name .. plus Portia is having some finiacial problems so Bill will assist her with that since the Bellfluer’s are his extended family..
Sookie will end up seeing him & Portia ( sort of how Jessica saw Summer & Hoyt ) & Sookie will get jealous.. remember she jumps to conclusions & has very zealous assumptions.. I dont think AB will have Bill & Portia have sex.. but in s5 Selah will be casted for that ( Bill’s other sexual relationship).. Bill will start dating Selah because Sookie had a fling with Eric in s4..
Thinking of punk, Strange Fruits Records, whose name came from the Billie Holliday song, was set up in 1986 by John Peel and distributed BBC live sessions, includinga lot of punk.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Fruit_Records
Just posted this at SVB’s and wonder what you all think:
Total speculation here, but maybe Mavis is an elderly relative in the present day and Tara Mae looks her up because she needs a place to stay in her destination city. These could be flashbacks to her younger days because she’s telling Tara her life story, which is hopefully relevent in some way to the storyline. Hopefully the point of the flashbacks has something to do with backwoods Louisiana hoodoo. Alfre Woodard or Adina Porter could play the elderly part with make-up and this is why no casting call. IDK, just wishful thinking because I just want it to be MAVIS’S story, told with her own voice and from her own pov.
~~
We’ve been thinking Tara is off to learn magic in parallel to Laffy, and it would be perfect if an elderly relative were to teach her the tradition of their ancestors. When Tara gets back, her new-found knowledge could clue her in to the fact that Jesus has been leading Laffy down a dark path. While Tara is being taught, the AUDIENCE could also learn that there is something not right with the magic as practiced by Holly and Jesus.
I’m not sure what to think. We seem to be dealing with another flashback (’30′s modest dress-recurring guest). You mention above MC, that they should only be on ep.4 filming. It’s very confusing. Anyone know what Miss Woodard is doing at present? Maybe she is on hiatus from her present filming and this is the only time available, or Miss Porter the same. Can’t seem to wrap my head around it, RJ and LM and all. I guess it all depends on where Tara went. There must be some more clues to her destination than just the white Mercedes driving off into woods.
IDK anymore BG. Here is what I know, or surmise: It’s been said that one epi takes 14 days of filming to complete. If they started ep 3 on 1/10 they should be wrapping up today assuming they only have Sunday’s off. If they commence shooting epi 4 tomorrow they should be about 8-9 days into filming by 2/4. However, they may just mean certain scenes from ep 6 commence on that day and pieces of 4 and 5 are already complete, per ST’s last interview.
As for Alfre Woodard, it’s been said she may not be available for season 4 because of Memphis Beat. However, Southland is currently running a new season on TNT, which means they’ve already filmed, hence the availability of Kevin Alenjandro. Memphis Beat is also running it’s current season, therefore it’s already been filmed. I think comments about Ms. Woodard not being available for 4 might just be disengenuous.
I can’t think of any clues to Tara’s destination. I figure NOLA because it seems logical, but you never know.
Comments about Ms Woodard not being available for 4 might just be disingenuous. LOL.
Is that anything like mendacious? ROTFL.
NOLA does seem the most logical given the hoodoo inferences.
This sounds very likely, MC! Mavis would be Tara’s Octavia. Now I’m really confused, though, because I thought Serena was right about her being an ancestor/spirit guides of Lala’s.
Of course she’d be related to both, but if she was Tara’s tutor in the here and now, could she be reaching out psychically to Lala?
Mavis would be Tara’s Octavia.
I didn’t even think of Octavia when I constructed my fantasy
but now I’m even more excited.
but if she was Tara’s tutor in the here and now, could she be reaching out psychically to Lala?
If my fantasy pans out—she’s elderly. Perhaps she dies and this is why Tara comes home, and then Serena’s spirit guide scenario can play out.
To finish my thought, Sookie was in Dallas 2.04-2.10, six eps. Tara coming home in ep 6 would be a perfect parallel.
Just wondering if Mavis would have to be dead to connect psychically with another person if blood & V can connect people and influence them.
No not necessarily. Lala could meet young Mavis in another of his shamanistic v-trips.
This was posted on the True Blood discussion board at FaceBook: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEqk3MwnX_4
ROTFL! Thanks for the best laugh of my day!
Vewy funny.
LOL! Thanks!
this is the only info we have so far of epi 4/s4 :
http://true-blood.net/spoilers/season-4/episode-4-04/
plus in DTTW Hallow was after Eric to sell his V on the market for money & she wanted to have sex with him.. so if Hallow is draining Eric ( from the Lyric’s of the song) it would mimick Bill almost being drained in s1 by the Ratt’s ( Mack & Denise)..
in DTTW Eric never got drained ( But on the show AB might have Hallow drain Eric).. the curse was activated in DTTW when Chow killed the booby trap witch at Fangtasia..
so i’m speculating since Yvetta is suppose to be some sort of were animal in s4 & she stole the money out of the Fangtasia register Pam or Chow might kill her & the curse on Eric will be activated..
Yvetta is the Cardiologist ( she said to Pam in s3).. so once the Heart dr. is killed then i speculate the curse on Eric will happen..
Sookie is suppose to gain $50,000 in s4 for keeping AE..
so Hallow’s coven of witches in s4 might still be were animals who practice witch craft & drink V?? or Hallow’s coven is simply after territory & power.. maybe a combination of both..
Hey the Black Madonna was spotted in Fangtasia behind the bar.. this is what i found in relation to the black Madonna: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Madonna
there is also a bowling pin behind the bar next to the liquor so i wonder if we will be going bowling for vampire’s soon??
If there is a Black Madonna behind the bar in Fangtasia, there’s also a Black Madonna in the town of Guadelupe in Spain.
@ IATM and Anna
This could be a very interesting connection, indeed! I recall a couple Madonnas at FT, but not a black one behind the bar. (Sorry, my memory is shot.) I’ll be going over those screencaps with a fine tooth comb tonight though.
You might be able to add a close connection between Catemaco & the Conquistadors since Cortez was awarded the area in 1529.
yea the Black Madonna is shown behind the bar in one of the later episdoes as well as the bowling pin behind the bar & placed with the liquor..
there is also a Mother Mary statue in front of Lettie Mae’s house..
here is the statue in front of Lettie Mae’s house
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i410/mametupa/bscap0001-6.jpg
whoops here is the correct photo :
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i410/mametupa/bscap0000-10.jpg
Here is the picture of the Black Madonna & the Bowling pin behind the Fangtasia bar :
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i410/mametupa/bscap0005-3.jpg
I can see the bowling pin but not the Black Madonna, I probably need glasses!
Guadelupe in Spain is in Extremadura, the region of Spain where many of the Conqistadors such as Cortes and Pizarro came from.
I can see the bowling pin but not the Black Madonna, I probably need glasses!
Guadelupe in Spain is in Extremadura, the region of Spain where many of the Conquistadors such as Cortes and Pizarro came from.
The Black Madonna is the statue right by the bowling pin..
Thanks IATM!
Renée, I posted the same thing twice by mistake, not sure how I managed that, but you could take the first one off if you like.
so what do you guys think?? what are your speculations of the black Madonna being at Fangtasia??
I’m not entirely certain that column is a Black Madonna. From a distance possibly. Somewhere way back when at either this site or MC’s we saw that it was a number of components. A mask at the top, Central American I believe, then there is the profile of Alfred Hitchcock, just below the mask and other stuff. I can’t recall all of it, but it is here somewhere.
Although from a distance it does resemble an icon holding a child. The child being the skeleton…..hmmmm
You know IATM, I swear Renee and MC have a flow chart somewhere , were they keep track of all there musings. lol Their combined recall is astounding.
I can just about make out a figure in white & red in front of the bowling pin, the skeleton, one or two figures on the shelf next to it and lots of bottles. There are also other figures on the other shelves.
I remember the discussion about the mask and I think I could do with a flow chart too, Bobsgran.
I can’t speak for Renee of course, but my recall isn’t that great when it comes to anything I’m not completely obsessed with lol.
From what little I know about US history, Mavis dressed in modest 1930s style would place her at the time of the Great Depression. Her life as a Cajun speaking African American would be quite a contrast to what we’ve been shown of Bill & Lorena at that time.
Bg, Was this what you were looking for?
http://www.ancientpythoness.com/2010/08/30/can-you-find-the-hitchcock-cameo/
Great osterby, thanks.
the statue is all black with a Gold head dress & she or it is holding some sort of object that resembles a baby.. from the link i posted about the black madonna the statue appears to look like that ( the one in Fangtasia)..
Yup, I get what you mean IATM. That whole column looks like an icon if you take it as a whole.
When I say icon IATM, I do mean the Black Madonna. That particular icon was all over my parents house.
This is another place the figure on the column was mentioned briefly, it turns up about half way down.
http://www.ancientpythoness.com/2010/09/14/season-4-predictions-and-discussion/
Thanks anna.
in regards to Tommy being turned, that turns my stomach! Can you imagine that dork with his giant ears having fangs? Same goes for Hoyt he would look terrible as a vampire, I pray neither one will be turned.
can someone give me the correct sequence of the 2 week Gap:
did it occure after Bill burned & 2 weeks later he returned?
did MA bail Tara out of Jail before the 2 week gap?? or after??
Sam meet’s MA in the s1 finale because she came to pick Tara up from Sookie’s??
Eric waits 2 weeks to question Laffy on pussylover9 & Godric was missing??
Eric ,Pam bring Jessica back after 2 weeks & Pam called Jessica “extremely Annoying”..
Eric say’s “Deal is off” to Bill when he brings Jessica back.. so was it ever said or a clue given to what the deal was between Eric & Bill??
Bill tell’s Sookie in the s1 finale that he fed on someone & we see a women in s1 epi 1 talking on the pay phone at Merlotte’s.. Sookie never asked him if it was someone local or a friend or whatever.. & then in s2 she is all upset about Bill killing Uncle B. & creating Jessica & Eric keeping Laffy in the basement.. but she was okay that Bill fed on someone in s1 finale & she was okay with the death of Malcom /Liam & Diane.. & in the s3 fianle Sookie was okay that Bill told her “He ended Eric, Pam & Russell”…
i think for 3 seasons we have already experiance a Stepford Sookie Stackhouse…
IATM, the supposed two week gap is pretty complicated. There are several anomalies which make it suspicious, ie it may never have actually happened. We’ve had several discussions all around TAP about this.
On the surface, the two week gap happened between the night Sookie killed Rene, Sam met MA, Bill rose from the grave, and Lafayette went missing– and then TWO WEEKS LATER, Eric brings Jess back to Bill, and Sookie, Andy and Tara find Ms. Jeanette in Andy’s car.
Eric say’s “Deal is off” to Bill when he brings Jessica back.. so was it ever said or a clue given to what the deal was between Eric & Bill??
Yes clues were given but the terms of the deal have never been made explicit. I posted a theory about it on my blog some time ago:
http://sunnynala.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/lets-make-a-deal/
Thanks Charm,
i’m going to go read your theory on the link you provided..
this 2 week gap situation has been bothering me ..
i think for 3 seasons we have already experiance a Stepford Sookie Stackhouse…
I agree IATM. I cannot help but contrast the Sookie at the end of s1 who told Andy that she could never be happy that anyone is in pain with the Sookie who delighted in causing pain to RE when she disposed of Talbot.
i think for 3 seasons we have already experiance a Stepford Sookie Stackhouse…
I think it’s about to get a lot worse, more blatant, and the cause of it more clearly laid at Bill’s feet. His chickens are coming home to roost, so to speak.
Oh definitely. Actually that was supposed to be my second point, but I forgot to make it.
Ha! I’m having the same problem lately. I let my thoughts just dangle out there without finishing them, like people are supposed to read my mind or something. LOL.
I wanted to let you know that our TB mythology witch has opened her blog again. I clicked her link this morning and there she was in all her glory.
I had been thinking that TB was giving the audience a little nudge with that ‘season of the witch’ promo, to get us on the ball and familiarizing ourselves with the traditions and practices because we will better understand what’s going on in s4 if we do.
I don’t remember where we were talking about Bubba not being much different fom the Elvis everyone knows and loves, aside from the brain damage and the eating cats thing, of course.
Anyhoo…while I was researching another topic, I ran across something interesting.
In DUD Bill says or implies that he had someone kill UB instead of doing the job himself. On CH’s board someone asked her if it was Bubba. With all the questions she gets asked about who might have done what, it’s interesting she chose to shut down speculation on Bubba.
2009-06-24 07:49
Bubba did not kill Uncle Bartlett.
Mike, I don’t discriminate. I’ve killed a lot of hetero characters, too. Sookie does need friends of all persuasions.
Charlaine Harris
I imagine CH was highly annoyed that people would suspect Bubba, whom she has clearly been at pains to portray as so gentle he doesn’t even need an invite into human homes, while trying to throw blame off Bill, whom she has been at pains to imply is a violent and untrustworthy character. It must get old listening to and reading all the excuses that are made for Bill, especially when they try to throw his deeds off on someone like Bubba.
According to IMDB, Joe Lee is back in 4.04.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1683848/fullcredits#cast
Ahh, sniffing around to see if a vampire/shifter hybrid is even better in the pits than a regular shifter? LOL!
Sniffing and Joe Lee, ugh. All I can think of is those grotty underwear.
That image is going to stay with me the rest of the night now.
Honestly BG! If you keep posting stuff like that, I’m going to have to start moderating this blog!
Mea culpa……goes to stand in corner…..mea maxima culpa. *snicker*
Jessica still is undead, yeah.
Sorry to disappoint everyone but I wasn’t able to go stalk that night in Long Beach (babysitting issues. I couldn’t bring a toddler to the set. Sacrifices you make as a mother). But I got some new information. My friend is a location manager and she told me TB is looking for a place to film in her area. They want to film at the flood basin in her area. If thats the case I can go on set as her assistant and be undercover MOLE. Keep your fingers crossed they pick her location. What do you think they will film at a flood basin?
Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you mony.
@Mony,
Don’t apologize. We’re grateful for any crumb of news we can get and can hardly expect more than you’ve already given us. Sookie’ s car and Hoyt’s truck at Fangtasia, and maybe Sam’s, too was delicious news. I’m sure we all understand the demands of RL, especially when it comes to motherhood.
Hehe! I certainly never thought when I started this blog that TAP would end up with an on set mole. Now that would be faaaantastic! A flood basin would look kind of swampy, wouldn’t it? Maybe it would be used for the search for Jason’s body. I can’t think of anything else it would be used for. Ideas?
A flash back to when Sookie and Jason’s parents we killed in a flood?
Oooh, good call osterby!
Hey! Or maybe my theory will come true and they find Hadley’s body in water?
@ MC
Ha! If Bill is going to use it to dispose of bodies, there are so many possibilities, but Hadley’s got to be at the top of the list.
@Osterby
Yes, please!
here is a new spoiler from
http://true-blood.net/2011/02/03/season-4-spoilers-jason-and-tara/
Thanks! It’s been too long without any news!
some new AS picture’s
this man looks so Yummy
http://worldofskarsgard.net/?p=2462
AS makes anything look Good ( even the traditional black college sweater
http://worldofskarsgard.net/?p=2460
I’d seen one image from that first sight, but that just wasn’t enough to fully appreciate AS’s dorkiness. ROTFL! God I love that man!
He is supremely adorkable, which is why I like him so much.
He is SO very different from Eric, a truly wonderful actor. <3
Have you guys seen these picture’s yet of AS ???

Sam’s rent houses are going up in flames. This can’t be good for Arlene.
http://www.trueblood-italy.com/true-blood-season-4-spoilers-sams-house-will-burn/
oooh, it’s Dawn’s house, which was across the road from Arlene. Is it a reactionary FoTS thing or someone feels they left a clue to her murder? Does someone suspect Sam is a supe? Is it Joe Lee and spouse? So many possibilities.
I read it to mean all the cottages were going down.
With Joe Lee returning 4.04, this could very well be his revenge. He had it in for Sam since the day they moved in and Sam took Tommy to work.
I have to agree with that Renee. Joe Lee was not a happy camper about losing his meal ticket.
These don’t look like the same cottages? aren’t the ones on TB attached to one another, like row houses? These look like seperate dwellings. I know I’m missing something..
It looks like they were individual cottages, just set really close together.
http://black-celebration.net/caps/albums/true/1×04/1x04_0145.jpg
They’ll probably use the cottages we’ve seen for the close ups, and these just for the fire. I doubt the differences will seen when they are engulfed in flames.
Tee hee. I just submitted this question to the Paley Center:
To Stephen Moyer:
Jon Hamm recently gave an interview in which he acknowledged the ‘moral turpitude’ of his character Don Draper on ‘Mad Men’. So far you have been reluctant to do the same with your character Bill Compton, even going so far as to call him the ‘moral one’ in comparison to the character of Eric Northman. Given the recent revelations concerning certain dastardly deeds perpetrated by the ‘mendacious Mr. Compton’, and hints of more to come, would you care to revise your public interpretation of your character?
My earlier question:
Dear Mr. Ball
First of all I love you, you sneaky genius. <3
Is a change in the narrative mode the 'paradigm shift' Sam Trammell spoke of in an interview about season 4? Is this change the thing that will make everything 'fresh'? If so can you tell us which character other than Sookie will be narrating when we pick up in season 4
ROTFLMAO! Love it!
I’ll be on pins and needles to see if SM responds!
I didn’t leave any questions because it looked like too much hassel with the security concerns that Tina brought up.
Hee hee. I can’t help it, I’m mighty pleased with myself. It took me a while to work up the nerve to submit it but now that I have I’m glad, and pray it gets asked. I want to watch SM squirm over that one.
That is just fabulous MC. I’ll be on pins and needles too.

Gotta say I called this one. I knew he was either going to usurp SA or Eric’s position.
You did indeed! Now we can add usurper to his resume, which is getting rather long and smelly.
I think he’s used SA’s voice to take over Louisiana. How else would he have sheriff’s UNDER his purview?
New spoiler from the Vault as well..
http://www.trueblood-online.com/
Thanks! I’ll add it to the spoiler page tonight as I boogie on cloud nine.
That sumbitch is coming out of the closet! Whoop!
Can’t wait to see what he does to that witch! It’s not going to be pretty.
hoo boy, I wonder if she’s one of HIS witches and she has displeased him?
I think he’s going to be gearing up for a genocide against the witches, all the while keeping his own stable of witches out of site.
This is Bill as Steve Newlin in full.
Yep, what could be more appropo than Bill conducting a witch hunt?
Here are the Lyrics to the Song:
And, here are the lyrics:
What am I gonna do
When I get close to you?
Wanna hold you next to me
But you bring me misery
I hate you, but I love you [x2]
Let’s go to see a show
Which one well I don’t know
Will you make up your mind
Or are you gonna waste my time
I hate you, but I love you [x4]
Look back to the time we met
Were things better I forget
You acted different then
I thought you were a friend
I hate you, but I love you [x5]
I hate you, I love you [x2]
Yes, I Do!
i think this is a possiblity of the shadow if it’s not the Fae :
[GUARD] Male, 30s, one of Bill’s (Stephen Moyer) guards, he is frustrated by a video game on his cellphone…1 line, 1 scene
this could be someone that QSA appointed to guard Bill??
i still think that AB is doing n1 & n2 as the same night..
AB is adding Bill to have gaurds in s4 plus his purview regarding a witch’s fate.. & 2 area Sheriff’s disagree with him on this..
basically the Authority & the Sheriff’s that are comming in s4 is really asking Bill questions on his knowldge of the area & things related to Bon Temps IMO..
May I make a suggestion? This thread is getting pretty long and these are verrry interesting spoilers…
we is everyone?? lol !!
speulation 3 or 4 thread?? i’m confused
