Ausiello has several spoilery tidbits for True Blood in this week’s column. Don’t read if you don’t want to know!
Question: Since you’ve seen the first four True Blood episodes of season 2, is there anything you can share? –Sanna
Ausiello: They’re bloody fangtastic! (Never. Gets. Old.) Seriously, season 2 — premiering June 14 — gets off to a thrilling, gory, scary, sexy, disgusting, funny, suspenseful start. Alan Ball would drive a wooden stake through my heart if I spoiled any of the big twists (i.e. my lips are sealed about the fate of a certain flamboyant vampire blood dealer), but here are a few juicy morsels to whet your appetite:• There are three orgies, all of them powered by Maryann’s (Michelle Forbes) aphrodisiac fairy dust.
• Alexander Skarsgard’s Nordic vamp has an extremely homoerotic encounter with a character who shall remain nameless. In related news, there are about two dozen gratuitous shirtless shots in the first four episodes, all of them belonging to either Mechad Brooks (Tara’s new BF, Eggs) or Ryan Kwanten (Jason).
• Sookie has a very revealing conversation with a new character in episode 4.
• If you’re wondering what secret Merlotte’s newest waitress (played by Ashley Jones) is harboring, a clue can be found on her skin.
As if we could get more excited!
I read that and i can’t help but focus on “There are three orgies, all of them powered by Maryann’s (Michelle Forbes) aphrodisiac fairy dust.” and be confused. Maybe I misinterperated something but i presumed that Maryanne was Callisto, renamed.
As for the homoerotic scene with Eric? BRING IT ON!!!! I can’t wait! *SQUEE* SO CLOSE!
Please dear God let the ‘unnamed’ object of Eric’s ‘affection’ be Bill. I’ve seen far too many shows with two men fighting over a woman—let’s mix it up a bit and have Eric be very interested in having Bill be the meat in an Eric/Bill/Sookie sandwich. This way, everyone wins!
it is probaly Eggs-that was in the book.
Might also be his maker. From the spoilers it seems they added that little bit to the vamp Bill and Sookie go looking for in Dallas. It’s a detail in the newest book.
i have to say that i think the Sookie books are horribly written. i do not understand how anyone can say that these books are “impossible to put down.” even though the story is wonderful, the writing is absolute crap! and for me, if the writing is crap, i can’t keep reading. it’s too disturbing to read bad writing.
the show, however, is incredibly brilliant. and now that i have read spoilers of what happens in the books, i cannot imagine sookie being with eric. i also cannot imagine bill cheating on sookie either. omg this is just too much! maybe i will have to slog through the books after all.
does anyone have a link to a web site that has DETAILED summaries of each book?
I have to agree with ejperryman, though I have suffered through the books just for the major plot lines that are sometimes slow to develop in the books. The TV show is definitely better, and I’d have to also agree with the word brilliant!
I have to say as someone who reads all the time from many different authors that the books are in no way crap. If you had actually read through them you would know that Sookie doesn’t cheat on Bill. Its the other way around. Don’t get me wrong the show is fabulous but the books give more details then the show due to the fact that the show is only 60 minutes long at a time.
he didn’t say sookie cheats on bill. he said it correctly; he was simply saying that he couldn’t believe it. it’s hard to believe, even though you know it happens in the books, because of the on-screen chemistry between anna p. and bill m.
His name is Stephen Moyer.
I am sorry but you are crazy to think the books are poorly written. Charlaine wrote them so anyone ANYWHERE would have no problem understanding them. I am an avid reader of all types of books from Shakespeare to Stephen King to Margaret Mitchell. She wrote them the way she did to keep it from being so dang typical of the “boy meets girl (in this case dead boy), girl is a naive virginal girl who falls for boy, girl and boy get married BLAH BLAH BLAH. Those story lines get old. She writes the way she does to make it interesting. I LOVED each book and I for one can’t wait until the next one. I have read all 9 and she left me wanting more. The same goes for the show. Try her website http://www.charlaineharris.com if you want to know more about her and the books.
I say give the books a chance. It was awkward for me to read them at first, partly due to the fact that it is written from Sookie’s (first person) point of view. But after a while, I got into it. I also think that the books are written much like the true southern girl in Sookie thinks.
If you read the books, you will come to see how Bill could cheat on Sookie. Obviously, like everyone else, we don’t know how closely the future season(s?) are going to stick to the books so if you enjoy the show more, don’t worry about what happens in the books.
The show is great, but the books are so much better. The show basically has the same story line as the book but it omit a lot of good, interesting, exciting details that the books have.
Yes, they are parts in the book that you could say they can be a little mind-numbing but it makes all worth while when you get to the good parts.
If you think the chemistry between Sookie and Bill and Sookie and Eric is intense on the show try to read all 9 books and see how it develops from beginning to end.
I agree on the writing aspect.Charlaine not only wrote intereseting,exciting books about very unusual people and creatures,but she makes you think that they could exist.She also has an underlying theme of social commentary about inequality,insuffurance,equal rights etc.They are all very cleverly written and shouldn’t be taken at face value
