Recap & Review: True Blood has quickly become one of the most popular series on television, and the season is quickly. After tonight, there will only been two more episodes left of this first season to air. Last week, we had an explosive episode, but not as explosive as promised. The previews hinted at Sookie being turned into a vampire, but that didn’t happen. Sookie did learn that truth about Sam,. and it seems Bill has ended up in some hot water himself after killing another vampire in order to protect Sookie. This week’s episode picks up from there.

Sookie finds out the truth about Sam. This is something we picked up on from earlier episodes. He is a shifter, and he shifts into the shape of a dog, similar to a dog that spends time outside his bar. He tells her he can also shift into other animals, but he prefers to shift into a dog. He shifts right before her eyes, and she has the obvious reaction of shock. She is also hurt that he never told her about his shifting abilities.

He didn’t trust her enough to tell her what he could do, and he has known her for a long time. She is also upset about him and Tara. What probably upsets her the most is the fact that he tried to sleep with her without telling her what he really was. She holds a grudge towards for most of the episode, and this grudge is only forgotten when the killer comes to the bar and tries to attack her the night of the engagement party. Sam is the one to find her and stay with her.

As for Bill, he is still in trouble for killing the vampire, one of his own, for a human. He needs to go in front of a judge of some sort, and this judge has an evil streak in him. We watch as he has another vampire defanged. He has something else in mind for Bill though. He wants Bill to turn a human into a vampire. This is something Bill is not willing to do, but he is forced to do it. Her really has no choice. You can see how much he struggles with this punishment, but if he doesn’t follow through something far worse can happen.

Tara has her own problems this episode as well. She goes through with the exorcism, and she believes she is free of the demon inside her. That is until the next morning when she finds the witch that performed the spell on her at the local drug store. It was all a scam for money. Something that bothers her, but she doesn’t tell her mother. She doesn’t want to ruin what good has come from it when it comes to her mother. She doesn’t take the news too well herself though. She ends up drinking and showing up at the party drunk. After she fights with Sam, she leaves the party, and she ends up having an accident and driving off the road.

Meanwhile, Jason and Amy still have their own vampire to deal with. Amy finds out that Jason has been spending time with the vampire, and she doesn’t like this at all. By the end of the episode, we see Eddie the vampire dead after Lafayette confronts Jason on his source having gone missing. All in all, this was a good episode for the series. It is the first episode where Sookie and Bill have no contact. Sam and Sookie do appear to get closer as the episode progresses. Now that she knows the truth we have to wonder if this will change things for the two of them. To find out what’s on tv daily, check here .

Recap & Review: Plaisir d’Amour - This is the first time I have not found a TV.com synopsis for an episode, so we’re flying blind. The previews for this week’s episode have certainly left us to wonder. What will happen to Sookie? Will Bill turn her into a vampire like him, and will they be lovers forever? She is attacked by another vampire at the end of last week’s episode, so anything can happen. That is one of my favorite parts of this series. The fact that anything can happen. I’m not a reader of the books, so I don’t know the background and history of this series. I’ve come in with a fresh mind, and I’m sure I’m not the only viewer that has done that. Coming in like this, I have still become hooked by this series. I know I’m not the only one either. This one series has become one of the most popular on HBO in just a few weeks.

This week’s episode opens right where last week closed off, and it was a bit quick to me. Bill stacks the vampire that attacked Sookie, and he showers the woman in his blood.  Sookie is practically covered from head to toe in the vampire’s blood before he falls to the floor dead. Eric telling someone they need to be turned wasn’t in regard to Sookie. A wicked trick, and a bit of a let down after how the promo for the episode played out. Bill and Eric talk, and Eric wants Sookie, but in this conversation we learn something very interesting. Bill is in love with Sookie. He won’t admit it, but we can tell by the way he looks it is true.

Sookie is still trying to clean up when Pam comes to her and gives her clothes to change into. We also see a newly glamed Ginger. All is well though, and Bill takes her home. All is not well there though as they find blood covered walls when they arrive. Someone has come in and killed Sookie’s cat while they were gone. Bill stays with her, and every time she closes her eyes she sees her grandmother Adele’s body. The two share a few quiet moments before she tells Bill she loves him. After killing the vampire to protect Sookie, this does put Bill in a position of trouble. He needs to face what he did. Eric is taking him to do that.

As for Jason, he and Amy have kidnapped Lafayette’s vampire. Jason had no idea that was Amy’s plan, and he is freaking out only like he can. He finally is talked into drinking a bit of blood Amy gives him, and he is immediately calm. These two once again trip into la la land. While they continue to talk, Amy finally confesses she loves Jason, and in a surprising moment Jason does the same. The V totally changes Jason. He goes on with his life, and so does Amy. Amy and Sookie have a conversation together, and Jason bonds with the vampire back at the house.  However, the vampire ruins it by telling Jason that Amy is a psychopath.

Tara also has a lot of issues this week. She is still thinking about getting exorcised, and she has the budding romance with Sam to contend with. She knows she can’t handle a relationship. At work, she finds money from Sam. He is willing to help her with her exorcism. She doesn’t seemed too thrilled about that. He finally talks her into taking the money, and these two might be able to make a go of it.

Sookie does catch these two in the middle of making out, and this causes her to run out of the bar. She leave Amy to finish off the rest of her shift, and she rushes off to Bill’s house. When Amy tells Sam where Sookie went, Sam goes after her, and this is where things interesting. The dog ends up with Sookie asleep in bed, but when she wakes up she finds a naked Sam on her bed. I guess we now know the dog is out of the bag.

This week’s episode began as a bit of a let down. The previews from last week suggested something more would happen in the opening moments. The episode did pick up though, and it had plenty of moments of its own, especially the final one. It also looked like Bill knew Sam was a shape shifter. He made it sound that way, and this is something that was being alluded to most of the last few episodes. You have to wonder what Sookie will think of this. What did you think of this week’s episode of True Blood? For more of what’s hot on tv,  check here .

Recap & Review: Last week, we saw Bill leave with the rest of the local vampires, and they were killed by some of the men in Bon Temps. A fourth body is found with them, and Sookie needs to know if that body belongs to Bill. That is where we begin this week. She then returns home to clean up another mess. Across town, Tara is waking up to a new day. Her mother is a new woman. No more drinking. This is wonderful for her. Jason is still in bed with his new friend as well after a night of V blood and sex. At least that is what he thinks. She tells him otherwise. He then tells her about what happened to his parents too.

Sookie and Tara end up fighting once Tara goes to tell Sookie about her mother. Sookie is upset, and this only makes things worse. She throws Tara out, and it looks like these two are about to end their friendship. Sookie thinks Tara only thinks about herself. Sam has his own issues when a friend confronts him about the fact he saw him running naked through the woods. Sam denies that of course. That night a storm a hits, and Sookie waits for Bill to show. When he doesn’t she assumes the worse. She thinks he is dead, and she goes to put flowers on his grave.

He isn’t dead though. She is surprised by him when he crawls out of a grave, and the two have quite the sexual encounter without waiting any. He then once again feeds on her. She arrives at work late in great spirits, but all is well there. Jason’s new girlfriend is now working at Merlotte’s. Sookie tries to warn her about Jason, but the new girl doesn’t listen to Sookie. Instead, she stands up for Jason. Sookie offers to babysit for her friend at the bar. Bill helps her babysit while she is off being proposed too.

The next day, Sam has to fend off more questions about his naked run. He and Tara are moving forward in their relationship, but with them it is one step forward and two steps back. When Sam finds Sookie taking B-12 vitamins, he is angry. He really doesn’t like the fact Sookie is dating Bill now. As for vampire blood, Jason’s girlfriend needs more V, and he is going to help her get it. They go to Lafayette’s while he is out on a date with his vampire. This is the source of his vampire blood.

As for Bill, he takes Sookie to the vampire bar after Eric asks for Sookie’s help. He wants her to read the mind of a man to help him find out who stole money from the vampire bar. If he didn’t do it, someone else did. Eric brings in one after another until Sookie finds the man. It is Eric’s bartender. Jason and his new girlfriend go to vampire’s house after Lafayette leaves. She kidnaps the vampiere and has Jason help. This is not what he had planned.

There are only four episodes left in this season, and this series only gets stranger and stranger. Sex from the grave, kidnapping vampires, vampire theives, and a total 180 in Bill from last episode. He and Sookie are more of a couple now. It seems the death of the other vampires has freed him in some way. Next week, we’ll have to see if Sookie is turned vampire.

Recap & Review: True Blood has been a surprise hit for HBO. Fans needing a little vampire fix have latched on to this series following the exit of Moonlight over on CBS. The two series can’t be anymore different though. True Blood takes on the darker aspects of vampirism, and there are no holds bard. Sex, violence, and dialogue are all out there and in your face as a viewer. Last week, we saw the death of Sookie’s grandmother, and this sent her straight into the arms of Bill. They make love and he bites her for the first time. This opens up things to question. What will happen to this couple now?

This week’s episode opens up right where last week ended off. We see Bill mid-bite just before he takes Sookie’s virginity. This happened fast because in past episodes, Sookie was playing the innocent and never been touched card up quite a bit. We then see Bill and Sookie share a bath together, and he fills her in on some of the myths about vampires. She then shares memories of her child, and why she was so afraid of intimacy before this. In her childhood, an uncle abused her. It appears to be the same man that showed up at her grandmother’s funeral, and that is why she was so upset he was there. Bill ends up showing her where he sleeps before he goes to sleep for his day.

As for Jason, he needs more vampire blood. He goes to Lafayette for his next V fix, but Lafayette will not give him any. His cousin Tara is still dealing with her mother. Last week, she blamed her alcoholism on a demon. Tara still doesn’t believe her. Tara then goes to see Sam, and these two argue. He isn’t happy with the way she left him at the hotel. Tara then says she might be unboyfriendable. She isn’t good with relationships. While she is with Sam, she receives a call from someone. Apparently, her mother went for a loan to get an exorcism. Tara comes to the bank to find her, and then takes her home. She decides to help her mother with the exorcism.

Sookie returns home in the morning hours to find Jason going through things in the house. It looks like he is trying to find things to steal. Jason figures out she had sex with Bill, and the two fight. She then kicks him out of the house, and stops him from taking anything. That night, she works at the bar, and she is in a fantastic mood. This makes people question things, but she is trying to hide the fact she was with Bill. She even has a scarf wrapped around her neck to hide the bite marks. However, she tells the other waitress, and the secret is soon out at the bar. Sam even rips the scarf off of her neck.

Meanwhile, Bill is fighting for Sookie’s honor as he goes to find her uncle and kills him. Sookie does seem to have changed. Bill’s fellows show up at the bar, and they cause trouble. They are about to kill Sam when Bill shows up. He is talked into leaving with the group, and he tells Sookie he should be with his own kind. You can tell this hits Sookie hard, especially with what just happened between them the night before. The people at the bar are all riled up, and they want to go after the vampires. Sookie tries to tell Sam to do something, but she is the only one that thinks something needs to be done.

All of this is happening while Jason heads to the vampire bar for his V fix. After a discussion with the woman at the door, she finally let him in. She remembers Sookie from her previous visit. Jason tries to get some vampire blood, but he is not able to get it from anyone there. He does find some though with another woman. The two head to his place while Tara is with her mother to get the exorcism. The woman goes through with it, and something does happen there. Demon or not, her mother does change. After, she is ride of the demon the woman that performed the exorcism then goes to work on Tara to do one on her. Tara wants no part of it.

Jason finally gets his V, and he has sex with the woman that gives it him. She is seriously one huge hippie. As for Sookie, she goes to look for Bill at his home, but he isn’t there when she arrives. He didn’t even sleep there. The next morning, some of the men from the bar decide to try to bomb the home of the other vampires. They aren’t the only people out that morning. Two fisherman, one the detective at the city, sees Sam running naked through the woods.  The episode this week ends with four coffin’s being taken out of the home. Sookie wants to know if Bill was insise. We’ll have to wait until next week to find out.

This series keeps getting better and better with each week that passes. Sookie and Bill joined as one, but there is still something more going on here. Something we don’t know. We still have a lot to learn about these characters, and with only a few more episodes left this season we don’t have much time to find it out. Good news is though that True Blood will definitely be back next summer. What did you think of this week’s episode? Remember to find out what’s hot on TV before it airs, check out here .

Recap & Review: Last week, everyone was shocked to see Sookie’s grandmother be the next murder victim to pop up. As someone who hasn’t read the book series this program is based on, I really didn’t see that one coming at all. Now Sookie and Jason have to deal with the loss of their grandmother. Sookie is the one to find her grandmother. She takes it quite hard, and Bill soon arrives on scene. The next to arrive is Sam. He came in through an open door he tells everyone.  Sookie needs to deal with all the voices in her head talking about her grandmother. Sam tries to apologize to Sookie when she leaves the house, but she isn’t too receptive to it. She sends Sam to look for Bill, and these two end up in a discussion. Sam tells Bill to stay away from Sookie.

The police and coroner investigate the old woman’s death, and she really tried to fight her killer. She was unsuccessful at it. Bill comes in, and the cops question him about Adele and his relationship with her. Bill tells the police he thinks the killer is after women who associated with vampires. He also says Adele was probably not the intended victim. By the looks of things, Bill thinks Sookie was the one they were after. Everyone tries to get Sookie to sleep elsewhere, but she is against it. She goes immediately to work cleaning up the home. Soon after this, we jump to the wake for Adele. All the voices Sookie hears makes this event even more painful for  her. When one of those in attendance goes for a pie Adele made, Sookie lashes out. Tara and LaFayette try to help her deal with it as best they can.

We soon see Jason hasn’t heard about his grandmother’s murder. He is still hyped up on V. However, he soon goes through withdrawals.  Tara and Sookie continue to talk until Jason comes up pissed off. He blames Sookie for their grandmother’s death, and he even hits her. Tara throws him out, and Sookie ends up taking a valium that Lafayette left her with. The cops are looking at Jason as a suspect. This causes Jason to push the detective. Lafayette covers for him. After that, Tara throws out everyone that came to Adele’s house. While in her bedroom, someone comes in and starts to choke Sookie. She sends a message to Bill, but he needs to wait until darkness falls to check on her. He finds her fine. Bill stays outside on his own guard, and Sam’s dog shows up as well.

At the funeral, Adele’s brother shows up, and Sookie isn’t thrilled to see him. She stands to speak, but while she is doing that everyone drives Sookie mad. She ends up running off just before Tara’s mother stands up to say a few words about Adele. She shocks everyone with what she says. Jason chases after Sookie, and he tries to make amends, but it doesn’t go well at all. Tara and her mother share a moment. The daughter is angry because her mother stood up to talk for Adele, when in the past she spoke against her. Tara’s mom is trying to change it appears. She says she has a demon inside her. This makes Tara laugh.

Sookie ends up on a walk that leads her to Bill’s human grave. Back at her grandmother’s grave, she watches Adele go into the ground while talking to Sam. He escorts her home, but she doesn’t want his company. Inside, Sookie eats her grandmother’s last pie. This puts Sam and Tara back together. She takes him to her apartment. These two end up getting closer, possibly even become a couple. That night, Sookie ends up running to Bill’s home, and the two appear to make love for the first time. He also feeds on her.

This series keeps getting better and better. We see how all the lives of those in the two are connected to Sookie, especially with her ability to read everyone’s mind. Her relationship with Bill though took one giant leap forward, all pushed by her grandmother’s death.  I really do enjoy this series though. It is different than any other series on television. Tara and Sam are also an interesting development here. Not sure I saw that going so fast. What did you think of the episode?

Review: Last week, Sookie had Bill take her to a vampire bar to try and clear her brother’s name of the two murder cases they are trying to peg him with. Trouble happens though as cops show up on scene both at the bar and on the way home. This week, opens up with Sookie and Bill outside her home. The two once again fight. Their differences show up again and again in these episodes. Sookie likes safe. Bill is anything but safe. They appear to end their relationship.  Before the night is through, we see Tara go to see her cousin Lafayette about giving vampire blood to Jason. She is not too happy with him about that, especially after seeing Jason suffer at the emergency room.

The next morning, we see Sookie’s grandmother a buzz about Bill coming to her meeting. Her grandmother seems to want to have Sookie with Bill, but Sookie knows the two are too different. Lafayette goes to see Jason like he promised Tara, and he lets the cat out of the bag about Tara having feelings for him. This is what he does before he offers to show how good vampire blood could be. Lafayette promises to show Jason the proper way to use it.  At the bar that night, Sookie is talking to people about her and Bill. When Sam catches on that she is on the outs with the vampire, he decides to ask her out. She says yes. The cops question her about Jason and Tara next, and she lets on that it isn’t true. She does confront Tara though.

That night, Bill comes to speak about being a confederate soldier. Everyone goes. Sam escorts Sookie, and this is something Bill doesn’t seem to be too thrilled about. Jason shows up at the meeting, and he is high on vampire blood.  It takes vampire blood and the fact he is aware of how Tara feels about him for Jason to finally notice Tara. At the start of the meeting, Bill hangs up the flag that had been used to cover the cross. In his speech, he talks about how humans and vampires can work and live together. Bill also tells them about his experiences as a soldier. The mayor also has a picture of Bill as a human with his family. The photograph brings on an emotional moment for him.

Once the meeting his over, Jason heads back to the bar and talks to Tara. He tells her he finally knows it is her he wants. She doesn’t believe him though because she knows he is high on V. She tells him to come back when he isn’t on V. Sookie and Sam stay away from the bar, heading out on what looks like a date. She has more questions for him, and he doesn’t open up much. This is not new. Sam kisses Sookie, and the two argue. She won’t even let him take her home. Things at the bar heat up while they are gone. When a patron makes Lafayette mad. A comment about AIDS sets him off.

When Bill arrives at home, the sheriff and a detective arrive to question him. The sheriff thinks he is a suspect because of the sole fact that Bill is a vampire. They question him about his whereabouts on the nights the two women died, and he tells them if a vampire had killed the women, they would have both been drained of their blood. After the sheriff and detective leave, Bill goes back in his mind and remembers the night he was turned. He was only miles away from his home the night he was turned by a woman vampire that gave him shelter and food on his journey. The episode ends with a shocking development. Sookie’s grandmother has been killed.

This episode to me was probably the best of the season. We learned more about Bill, and we had some development with the other characters as well. I’m going into this without reading the book series this program is based on, so I’m coming in with no knowledge of anything.  Seeing Sookie’s grandmother the next to die was a shock to me. I really do enjoy this series, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

TV.com: Escape From Dragon House: When one of Merlotte’s barmaids is murdered, all fingers point to Jason. And Sookie goes to new territory to find the truth and prove her brother’s innocence.

Review:  Last week, we saw Sookie go to Dawn’s house to wake her up, but it is going to take a whole lot to wake her from the sleep she is in. Dawn was killed overnight. Jason shows up minutes after Sookie in order to apologize after the fight he and Dawn had the night before. Dawn’s neighbor shows up moments after this, and she points the blame for Dawn’s death immediately on Jason, even though he is innocent. The police are called in immediately. The neighbors buzz with all that has happened, and the cops interview Sookie. They tell her she shouldn’t have covered the body.

Even with Jason saying he is innocent, he is taken away in cuffs from the crime scene. In order to hide the vampire blood in his possession, he drinks all of it. This is one very big mistake. Sam comes to comfort Sookie after he hears about how she found Dawn. The cops interview Jason at the police station, and they confuse him into practically confessing that he killed both girls. While he is being interviewed, he starts to feel the effects of the vampire blood.

After a few painful moments, Tara shows up and she pulls him out of the station, and she even gives him an alibi. She says they were together the night before when Dawn was killed. However, we all know that Tara was with Sam. She tells Sam what she did, and he is angry, but we know he won’t say anything. As for Jason, he keeps having a problem. No matter how much he masturbates he stays hard. He goes to Lafayette for help on how to solve the issue at hand, but there is nothing he can do. Jason is stuck with an erection from hell. Tara takes him to the hospital once she sees his condition, and the doctor treats him, quite painfully I may add.

We finally see Bill come into the bar that night, and Sookie has been listening in on people’s thoughts at the bar to clear Jason.  When Bill arrives, Sookie asks him to take her to the vampire bar in order to see what she can find out there. At the vamp bar, we are allowed to see the vampires in this world in all their glory. Bill is called to see the main vampire in the bar, and Bill goes to him with Sookie. Sookie asks him about the two dead women, but he doesn’t offer her much in the way of information.

Moments after they speak, Sookie learns that the cops are set to raid the vampire bar. Bill takes her out of there moments before they arrive. On the way back to town, the two pull over, but just before they kiss, a cop pulls up behind them. In order to deal with the officer, Bill glams him. Before the episode ends, we see Sam use his keys to get into Dawn’s apartment, and he has a bit of sexy time in her sheets. At least that is what it looks like. Could be wrong there. We all know there is more to Sam than we’ve been shown so far.

This week’s episode was another strong one for True Blood. We keep learning more about the vampires in this world as we see Bill and Sookie get closer together. This is turning into one of my favorite series on air at the moment. What did you think of this week’s episode?

TV.com: Mine - Bill introduces Sookie to some of his vampire friends while Tara is still troubled by her family and tries to find comfort at LaFayette’s.

Review: Last week, we see Sookie going to Bill’s home to find him after their are more deaths in the area. In the final moments, we see her meeting up not with Bill, but those other vampires he lives with. This could spell trouble for Sookie. However, we immediately see that she cannot be controlled by the vampires once again. Bill is inside, and before the vampires with him go too far and bite Sookie, Bill takes a stand and claims Sookie as his.

The other vampires begin to feed on their humans, and Bill is about to do the same, but Sookie learns the man Bill is about to feed on has Hep D, a form of Hepatitis that is harmful to vampires. It weakens them for a time, and it makes them easier to kill. Sookie and Bill talk after the vampires leave, and it doesn’t go too well. Sookie didn’t like Bill’s claim, even if he did it to protect her.

Bill is waiting for Sookie at her home, and these two have another talk. Sookie wonders why she can’t read his mind. He explains to her it is because he is dead. It is at this point, Sookie says they should no longer see each other. However, her dreams say otherwise. She dreams of going to Bill for sex. Meanwhile, Bill goes to find the other vampires, and he once again tells them to stay away from Sookie. As for Sookie, she tries to keep away from him by keeping busy, and she even goes to her grandmother for advice.

Meanwhile at the bar, Sam and Tara are having a talk about their lack of love lives. We know Tara has it bad for Jason, and Sam wants Sookie. They talk about the new vampire in their lives, and Sam tells Tara that Sookie cannot read Bill’s mind. This gives Bill a big advantage when it comes to Sookie because she can just relax and be herself. Tara tells Sam he doesn’t stand a chance. We learn more about Sam as he talks to Tara. She asks him more about his love life and why he doesn’t have anyone. She wonders why he won’t open up about himself. Tara finally asks him for a little friendly sex. He turns down her offer. This really makes you wonder what he is hiding, but after some thought it looks like he might change his mind. The two do sleep together, but Tara is gone by the morning. She returns home to fight with her mother, and then escapes to her cousin’s home.

We then jump to Dawn’s home, where Jason should be waiting for her tied up. However, he isn’t. She is taken by a man and we are made to think we have our killer in the flesh. However, we soon see that Jason freed himself and played a trick on his girlfriend. The two then have sex, and Jason confronts her about her sleeping with a vampire. They argue and she throws him out. When he won’t leave, she pulls a gun out. When he arrives home, it seems Jason is surrounded by bats. He gives him a problem sexually. He even  goes to Lafayette, who gives him some vampire blood to help him with his problem. When Jason can’t pay, he dances on video for Lafayette mostly naked. Something that Tara comes in and sees.

At the end of the episode, Sam asks Sookie to check on Dawn, and when she does she finds the waitress dead. What is this killer doing? Going after the people Jason has slept with on purpose. This series really does keep getting better and better each week. The good news is HBO has already picked up True Blood for a second season that will hit next HBO Summer 2009. What did you think of this week’s episode of True Blood?

TV.com: The First Taste - After Sookie gets saved by Bill she suffers a lot of injuries and Bill tries to save her “the Vampire way”. The next day her brother is released from police custody and the bodies of Sookie’s attackers are found. Later that day Bill goes to visit Sookie’s family and gets a not so friendly welcome.

Review: In this second episode of True Blood, we get a closer look at Sookie and her family. At the end of last week’s episode, we saw Sookie being attacked by The Rattrays. This week picks up from that point, but Sookie saved by Bill in a bit of tit for tat. Sookie had saved Bill from being drained of his blood last week when the Rattrays tricked him. Moving faster than lightning, Bill rescues Sookie, and then by allowing her to drink of his blood he heals her completely of her injuries. However, by sharing his blood with her the two are now forever connected.

We end up seeing Bill visit Sookie’s home to talk to her grandmother about the past. Sookie’s brother and her friend Tara also are in attendance, but Bill only receives a good reception from Sookie and her grandmother. The other two give him the evil eye. Once he is done with discussing things with her grandmother, Bill takes Sookie on a walk where the two get even closer together. They talk about vampires, and we learn that Sookie is even more different than before. We also learn that Bill has no control over her. The two kiss, but Bill pulls back once his other side his shown.

As for the rest of the town, we learn that Jason didn’t kill the woman he thought he strangled. She only played dead until he left. Someone came in after he left and did her in for real. This is a relief to Jason, but the cops still think he is behind the girl’s death. He is back together with his old flame Dawn, while Tara still has her own feelings for the playboy. These two do seem to share a moment or two after Bill leaves, but he seems to be caught up in the other woman. When we last see him this week, he is tied to her bed while she is off at work.  This week ends with Sookie visiting Bill’s house, but it doesn’t appear he is home. His fellow vampires are, and this only spells trouble for Sookie.

This episode was better than the first. We see Sookie and Bill getting closer, and not everything is as it seems. It would have been terrible to have Jason be the killer, but the death of the Rattrays and others, there is a definite killer on the loose in this series. Just who that is we will have to find out. What did you think of this week’s episode?

Review: Imagine living in a world where vampires do exist and they walk freely among us. They have come out of the coffin, much like gays and lesbians came out of the closet. Now all they are looking for are the same rights everyone else has. They don’t even have to kill for blood anymore. This is thanks to a creation by the Japanese. A synthetic blood called Tru Blood which feeds vampires the same nutrients as human blood does.

True Blood on HBO is set in Louisiana in a small town. Most of the action in the first episode takes place at Merlotte’s Bar & Grill. This is where we meet Sookie, a waitress who becomes infatuated with the vampire that walks into the bar looking for Tru Blood. This is her first experience with one up close, and she starts to interact with him. Sookie isn’t all that normal herself, as she is telepathic. As she works night after night, she is cursed with hearing the thoughts of those she serves, both the good and the bad.

The vampire, Bill, is taken by two that have come into the bar that are looking to drain him of his blood. Sookie stops them, but they don’t plan on letting the slight go. Meanwhile, we also see Sookie’s brother in a fling with another female in town. A female that ends up dead. Jason is the only suspect they have. He is caught on video tape that he didn’t know was running. There is more to this series than vampire-human relations though.

Fans of Moonlight on CBS might find a replacement in this series, but this series already looks darker than Moonlight. Being on HBO opens up the series to more. There is sex, and it looks like we might see more of it in the weeks ahead. Anna Paquin in the role of waitress Sookie does well here, and I am already looking forward to seeing more of this series. I’d recommend tuning in! Do you want to see more reviews of this series as it airs? Let me know!
