Finale-Sized True Blood News Round-up

We already posted an interview round-up earlier this week, but they just keep coming! Herewith, news and interview tidbits to keep us occupied until the True Blood season finale on Sunday (WARNING: some minor finale spoilers ahead):

• Stephen Moyer tells People magazine, “It’s everything that you would want from a season finale. But I don’t even want to make a hint at something because it’s so f–ing crazy. I could tell you something that’s going to happen, but you just won’t believe me, so it’s almost pointless.” Maybe the theory that the egg actually is a dinosaur egg isn’t so outlandish after all?
• Michelle Forbes doesn’t hold back when she tells E! “F–k awards! That’s not where the glory is. The glory is in the audience,” she adds. “That’s who we tell the stories for. It’s not for, with all due respect, the critics and not for the awards shows, but for the audience.” Right on! Meanwhile, True Blood fans can let our voices be heard on Emmy Sunday by voting for the show as Breakthrough Performance of the Year.
• Kristin Bauer reveals to EW’s PopWatch that she will not be in the season finale, but speculates on lots of good possibilities for season three (Jessica/Pam?), gives a spoiler for Book 10, and much, much more. Seriously, the entire interview is quotable, so just go read it for yourselves.
• Ryan Kwanten gives a tiny glimpse into the season finale for MSNBC, “Well, I think it’s to be expected that those two worlds — that Sookie world and the Maryann world — have to collide. And uh, obviously things aren’t going to end well for one of them.”
• Sam Trammell agrees with Ryan, telling People magazine, “You can expect a major character — I’m not going to give it a way and say if someone dies or not — but there’s somebody that’s in major, big, big trouble. Also, I’ll say it’s going to be very surprising and it’s going to set up some cliffhangers for next year.”
• Sam also talked to Bullz-Eye.com, telling them, “Yeah, as far as Sam opening up again to a woman, that’s gonna be tough.” Thanks a LOT, Daphne.
• Newsweek profiles Alexander Skarsgard, calling his Eric “a little bit Gordon Gekko from Wall Street (he’s so mean) mixed with a little Mr. Darcy (he’s so misunderstood).” Well that explains a lot.
• Alan Ball teases season three for TV Squad: “Everybody is struggling with identity in season three – What am I? Who am I? What is my life? Is it what I want it to be? How do I make it what I want it to be? What are my real values? And some people are like, “Am I human? I always thought I was, but maybe I was wrong.” In one particular case, its like, “Yes, honey, you were wrong.”” YES!
• The LA Times profiles Rutina Wesley who sees Tara as ” a flower, a broken woman. People want her to do well, and she doesn’t know how. I try to make her softer. She is tortured, incredibly hard to play.”
• InStyle has a vampire showdown with Eric battling Twilight‘s Edward for supremacy in categories like Best Hair, Best Teeth and Best Taste in Women. As if there were any real contest. Vote here.
• The Boston Globe praises True Blood (and Hung) for letting women hold the power, calling Sookie “one of TV’s most self-directed young heroines.” Begging the question: will Sookie realize just how powerful she is in the finale?

Whew, did we miss any?
