SPOILERS: Sookie, Eric, Godric and More!

Alan Ball spilled more details about True Blood‘s third season to TVGuide.com, including news about a fan favorite’s return!

• Season 3’s theme is about embracing one’s identity.
• Sookie (and the audience) will get closer to learning more about who she really is and why she has the powers that she has. “She is definitely part of a different race,” adds Ball. “In terms of fairies, like perky fairies with wings, like Tinkerbell, no, they’re not like that. If it is fairies, they’re fierce. They’re not pretty, soft, glamorous, gossamery things. They’re really, really, really powerful and primal creatures.” (YES! The fairies are coming!)
• Eric and Sookie may not be together in season 3, but “of course they’re going to come together, it’s fated. It’s not something that’s going to happen right off the bat.”
• Godric will return in a flashback!
