True Blood Season Five

Well the next set of episodes for True Blood will be starting in June of this year with the premiere of Season Five. I for one can’t wait to see how this season will fare. Word is out that although it will be based on Dead as a Doornail, Ball says there will be other book sourced for some of the plot. The first two shows are already in the can and we have some clues as to what will be happening from cast calls etc.

Episode One is called “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and it will focus on the werewolf clan primarily from what we have seen so far. But the vamps are not ignored and there will be some action for Jason and Jessica, those red hot lovers we last saw in Season Four. And there will even be a short bit revealing something about Cassie’s past.

Episode Two is called “Authority Always Wins” . Could this be an homage to John Mellancamp? Well, maybe but the main point is that this episode will focus on The Authority, and we will get to know the various council members a bit better. Also- word is out that Jason gets decked for sleeping with the wrong women, as in someone else’s woman. Should be an interesting episode, from these little bits we have heard of so far.

So check in from time to time – we will let you know what we see happening as they continue to put out those interesting casting calls and keep shooting episodes. We will report back in soon!

Okay- so we know that we have a long way to go until we get to see True Blood Season 5 premiere in June. But, no surprise, there are plenty of questions we have right now that we would love to see resolved. To my mind the biggest one is going to be the question of who Sookie will turn to, now that she has turned away from Eric and Bill. I mean, to my mind now is the time for Alcide to finally get in there and get what we know he has always wanted. But will Sookie see him that way finally?

Since I can’t get an answer out of anyone at TB Central, I thought we could have a poll to see what the fans are thinking. So here is the question: In Season 5, we know that Sookie has walked away from both Eric and Bill. Do you think it will be Alcide who will gain her attention, and her heart? If not, who?

Tell us your answer in the poll below. And since it is a long time until June when the new season starts, be sure to come by our sister site and catch up with us for spoilers, cast news and more on BestFantasyStories.

As should be expected, there are a few cast changes coming with the new season, but they are so far all good news. The best news I have heard so far is that Dennis O’Hare is going to be back as Russell Edgington, the Vampire King of Mississippi. If you recall, Dennis played Russell as this wild old Celt who has been around for several thousand years and is pretty much a wild man. Even though over the centuries he has had Talbot to tame him, in the end Russell is a creature of his time, and that is as an ancient sun-worshiping Celt. He is completely unpredictable as a character, which is what has always made him so interesting and so dangerous.

When asked recently how his character would be returning to the show, Dennis did at least reveal that although Russell will be in the story, he Dennis will not be acting on-screen. This could mean flash-backs to his earlier days before he was turned, or it could mean that he will be somewhere off-camera such as in a “vampire rehabilitation center” as postulated by the rumor site HollywoodHills. In any event, he says he will not be truly back in the show until mid-March, so we will just have to see what he really means when he says that “they have devised an amazing trick to allow me to be present, but not fully acting”. As ever, Dennis and his alter-ego Russell remain the mysterious ones!

But not us! We are not mysterious at all and just to prove it, you can catch more True Blood madness at our fantasy site BestFantasyStories where we will try and keep everyone up to date on the happinings of the world of fantasy, including cast and news from TB! Come on by, we’d love to have ya!

Well it has been a while since the close of True Blood Season 4 finale and we have a long wait until the start of the new season in June of 2012. Sigh – just a little less than six months to go! So until that time what can a true blue fan do but crawl the web and see what kinds of spoilers we can find to share with other true blue TB fans.

Since production began on Season 5 already (it stated back in November) there might be some production shots around, I will see if I can find any for you.

Spoiler Alert! – I hear that Season 5 will pick up in the exact place we were left at the end of Season 4, with Tara and Sookie in the kitchen. Talk about a cliff-hanger, man I am sure going to be happy to see this scene resolved! Also- word is out from the big guy himself, Alan Ball, that we will be seeing some flashbacks this season of when Erik turned Pam.

Spoiler Alert! – Also from Alan is word that although yes, this season is based on the Dead As A Doornail book, he is planning to see elements combined from other books show up this season although he would not confirm which books. While it is true he has done this to some extent in previous seasons, Alan says it will be much more pronounced with Season 5.

Spoiler Alert! – Writers say that although there are no plans for a return of the zombies, other supernatural beings will be making appearances throughout the season. They wouldn’t say what kind exactly, just that they are “lesser known”, so I am thinking this may mean no more witches either. But who can tell, I am sure not everything is plotted out to the tenth degree, even now.

That’s about it for now guys and gals. And since it is a long time until June when the new season starts, be sure to come by our sister site and catch up with us for spoilers, cast news and more on BestFantasyStories. More as we find it out!
