Whatever Sookie’s choice proves to be, she will also certainly be contending with a coven of witches who arrive to wreak havoc in town. “The big thing this year is witchcraft,” says Ball, “and looking at how, in our world, certain humans are able to access magic.” … [Read more...] about The Season of the Witch: ‘True Blood’ Delves Into Dark Magic and Past Lives

WerepanthersJason’s state worsens over the episode, as he remains chained to the bed, suffering the effects of his many werepanther bites. He doesn’t realize the end goal is death until Crystal lays it out for him: “The panther magic is taking hold! You ain’t sick; you bein’ reborn as one of us.” We’re also educated on the origin myth of the werepanthers, which involve a panther ingesting spirits known as “Ghost mama” and “Ghost daddy.” Ghost daddy is also the subject of Crystal’s thanks as she and Jason consummate their relationship in front of all of the other female panthers. He disagrees, for once (mostly) not interested in sex: “You’re nothing but a crazy hillbilly junkie!” Though a werepanther elder confirms Jason will turn at the next full moon, the big moment has yet to arrive. The irony in this scenario, of course, is that, at one point in time, Jason Stackhouse would have been all about … [Read more...] about ‘True Blood’ Recap: Eric Has Amnesia

HumansAndy‘s V addiction leads him to Hotshot, where Felton recognizes the signs of withdrawal Andy is displaying and gets another Hotshot resident to supply Andy. Arlene continues to freak out over her baby boy, especially as Sookie fawns over him, Terry tries to calm her down, and the baby appears to burst a vessel in Arlene’s eye after a staring contest. At the moment, these appear to be two peripheral plotlines, but we can’t help but wonder what the baby really is: a demon? A witch? Rene reincarnated? It’s a True Blood world, so the possibilities are endless. A refreshed and grinning Tara returns to Bon Temps to welcome back Sookie (who first mistakes her essence for that of what appear to be demons) and see Lafayette and Jesus, who drag Tara to a coven meeting (“Hooker, you gonna come or what?” “I guess so.”) Sookie’s vision begs the question: is all what it seems with Tara — excuse us, Toni? … [Read more...] about ‘True Blood’ Recap: Time for a Shift

Witches:Lafayette Reynolds‘ brujo boyfriend, Jesus Velasquez brings him to a coven, which includes Merlotte’s employee Holly Cleary and “the greatest witch ever,” Marnie. She scares Lafayette by embodying the spirit of Eddie, a vampire Lafayette used for his blood earlier in the series, despite Holly’s disclaimer that the magic doesn’t always work. Lafayette’s second visit to the coven, at Jesus’ persuading, confirms Lafayette has power of his own: after initially refusing to join the chain, Lafayette’s hands provide a link that take Marnie’s spell to another level, prompting a vampire spy to take the info to the king. … [Read more...] about ‘True Blood’ Recap: Let’s Do the Time Warp

Moyer is the opposite of Skarsgård—he’s perky, flirtatious and open, referring to every woman under 80 as “darling.” He might not feel great about Skarsgård rubbing up naked against Paquin, but he deals with it. “I do wear a sock in my scenes, but I’ve got nothing to hide,” he says, sniffing a little. “I just think it might be embarrassing for the crew.” At 40, he’s been an actor for almost 20 years since he left Essex, where he grew up the son of a secretary and a double-glazing salesman—”although he did have a pet company called Petarama, but that was a pet project, wah-wah-wah.” He loved buying records, and was never more upset than when Elvis and John Lennon died. He tried piano and trumpet, but ended up the head of the local choir in his adolescence, and he formed bands with his friends, including “Rod, Jane, Freddy and Mike” (a play on the Seventies band) and “BP.” … [Read more...] about The Joy of Vampire Sex: The Schlocky, Sensual Secrets Behind the Success of ‘True Blood’
