In all the E3 excitement I wasn't able to cover the premiere of "True Blood" season 3. The show picked up with Bill being kidnapped and Sookie running around looking for him.
In what was the best entrance by a character ever, Eric took a break from his "orientation" of his newest dancer to flirt with Sookie and inform her that he didn't have anything to do with Bill's disappearance.
Meanwhile, Bill escaped his kidnappers only to end up once again surrounded by them, as they turned out to be werewolves.
This week's show began immediately from that point with Bill viciously fighting off his attackers, before their boss the Vampire King of Mississippi showed up and ever so politely escorted him to his home. You've got to love southern hospitality.
In what was again the best scene of the show, Eric was at Sookie's house to protect her from the very same wolves. Sookie, mind-bottlingly, took forever to invite him in. I personally would invite Alexander Skarsgaard in at the drop of a dime.
In its first two episodes the show has hit the ground running with several plots being thrown at the audience. While this makes for great entertainment, it is a little hard to follow some of the less interesting stories like Sam's crazy shape-shifting family and Tara's never ending drama.
Honestly, if her suicide attempt had been successful would anyone have missed her? Of course not. This would also free up Lafayette for some more interesting story.
Last night's episode concluded with Eric, fangs bared, ready to protect Sookie from an oncoming werewolf. I'm still trying to figure out why Sookie stays with the boring Bill when she could be with fantastically Viking Eric.
This season is set to focus on vampire politics and ancient grudges. So far, it's kept fans on their toes, but a few less stories to follow would be appreciated.
