Eric Northmam..Is Sex On a Throne

Welcome back Eric....What a great episode last night. And Ginger said it best, "Eric Northman...is sex on a throne. " I'm not gonna disagree with that. He may be sick, but he still has that look that will make ya all warm and fuzzy inside. Speaking of, he kinda got that look when he saw Sookie. And there's no denying, Sookie was feeling it too. It was such a beautifully tender moment between them. The sort of moment that makes you reminisce about when they were briefly together. I know Bill was her first love, but there is no disputing their unspoken chemistry. It was the first time all season that we've seen some genuine emotion from Sookie.

In other True Blood news, it was awesome to see some of the old beloved characters back, like Terry and Hoyt. It was such an emotional episode, from Jessica starving herself, Arlene close to deaths door and making those gut wrenching calls to Hoyt and Alcide's dad. On a positive note,  no deaths unless you want to count the Hep-V vamps. They suck though, so it really didn't matter.
Let's just hope someone will come up with a cure to save Eric.

Hookah Please

" Ring, ring hookah! Ring, Ring!" So who is gonna miss the hell out of True Blood's Lafayette? If you've read the books than you know Lafayette gets killed off early on in the second book, but because of the popularity of his character they decided to keep him on the series. Good call on that one! I can't imagine True Blood without him.

I LOVE Lafayette, hands down he's one of my favorite characters ever! He delivers the best lines, I'm always eagerly anticipating what he's going to say.  He's tough and yet has the longest lashes and most makeup of anyone on the show, and he can rock a pair of gold pants like no other. Lafayette is just one of those characters you will always remember...I am probably going to miss him the most, as the series is coming to an end. 

I've posted a few of his best moments...enjoy Hookahs!!!!!

Say Goodbye to Our Favorite Wolf

It's not real, Alcide isn't dead. Our HOT wolf with his smouldering eyes, gorgeous physique, and genuine sincerity is gone? Another True Blood shocker last night, as we lose another beloved character and the season just began. First Tara, now Alcide!!! I didn't want to believe it, but there's no coming back from that.

So I guess the good guy doesn't get the girl! Instead he winds up dead trying to protect her. I feel like this final season of True Blood is taking on Game of Thrones like undertones, don't get attached to anyone. The problem with that is we've been so attached to these characters season after season. When Alcide first came on screen he sure gave Eric a run for his money, if you happen to like the tall, dark and chiseled type. From the beginning, Alcide never had an agenda, and he was honestly just a really good guy. Even when his character got a little dark he still ended up doing the right thing, and being the better person. Then he finally gets the girl, and not just any girl but Sookie. (That should have been our first clue, that no good can come from that).

If only Sookie had listened to him when he suggested they keep driving, away from Bon Temps, but that would never be a realistic option. Not where Sookie is concerned. Always in the middle of the chaos is where you'll find Sookie. Last night was no different, asking Bill to help her in one of her ridiculous and dangerous plans. Even admitting to Bill that while she loves Alcide, she feels he loves her more, and wishing he'd love her a little less. Really, Sookie!!!??? I was pretty pissed off about that, knowing he's coming to save her...then shots ring out, and Alcide goes down for good. I pretty much stopped paying attention after that, because denial set in. 

Good bye Alcide, you will be missed...

True Blood newcomer sinks teeth into new role

Nathan Parsons stars in the final season of HBO's True Blood.Foxte

True Blood might be in the death throes of its final season *wipes a tear away*, but fans are still meeting new faces.

And yes I know that, our awesome @BellaDonna_FN covers True Blood, but I couldn't help but want to know more about this new comer to our show. Who I am obsessed with on The Originals as a very sexy wolf. 

Adelaide-born, US-raised actor Nathan Parsons was thrilled to join HBO's camp, raunchy and over-the-top vampire drama, set in a sleepy Louisiana town.

"It's such a thrill for me," he said.

"I remember watching this show seven years ago and it was like nothing else on TV," Parsons told The Guide.

"To be a part of it is really, really amazing."

The 26-year-old has taken over the role of James, Jessica's new love interest whom she met at "vamp camp" last season, from Luke Grimes.

"The character of James wasn't that well established in season six," Parsons said.

"You sort of met him but you didn't get his story. It is odd taking someone's part, but he was such a small character in season six now I think we can go a totally different direction with it and I think we will be forgiven."

The recent season seven premiere gave viewers a greater insight into James when he opened up to Lafayette about how he became a vampire. From his first day on set, True Blood star and director Stephen Moyer (Vampire Bill) took Parsons under his wing.

"He taught me how to be a vampire in this world," he said.

"Every vampire show has different rules and different ways of doing things.

"It was good to have Stephen there to say 'okay when your fangs click out this is how I do it, this is what you need to think about'. I got tips on being a vampire from Vampire Bill himself."

Parsons is best known for his role as Jackson in The Originals, which follows the original vampire family from The Vampire Diaries as they return and settle in New Orleans.

"The Originals has its own mythology which is similar (to True Blood) but different. I play a werewolf on The Originals so I get both sides of the coin, which is really fun," he said.

His introduction to the complex web of True Blood characters was also made easier by his friendship with Deborah Ann Woll, who plays flame-haired vampire Jessica.

"We went to college together so it was really comfortable to just step in," he said.

The cast has spent the past seven months filming the show's final season and Parsons said there was a lot to squeeze into 10 episodes.

"So much happens so quickly it sort of takes your breath away," he said.

"This is how True Blood works.

"You get on the show and you're thrust into the blood, sex and violence."

The final season sees the residents of Bon Temps - human, vampire and otherwise - dealing with the fallout of the Hep-V vampires' attack on the human-vampire mixer at Bellefleur's and the possibility of another attack.

Jessica's continued vow to protect Sheriff Andy's fairy daughter Adilyn has kept her and James apart, but it is hoped they will reunite.

And what will be the consequences of Pam's overseas reunion with Eric? What do you think FANdomaniacs? 

The Question Is, Who Hasn't Been With Sookie?

Who says you can't have it all! And our beloved Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood has had plenty...of hot men that is! Who hasn't she hooked up with on the show? Each one better looking than the next! 

We all know it started with a certain Mr. Bill Compton. One of the biggest draws for her, besides him being the first vamp in Bon Temps, was that she couldn't hear his thoughts. One of the most asked questions throughout the entire series was asked of Sookie time and time again, "What are you?" She definitely was not just your typical Merlotte's waitress, but it wasn't until season 3 that we learned about Sookie's true faerie nature. Maybe it’s the faerie blood or maybe a centuries old contract, but whatever the reason, "Sookie is MINE," was quite the common sentiment.

So take a deep breath and let's take a look back at Sookie's Suitors!!

‘True Blood’: Alcide Killed Off? — Joe Manganiello Teases His Death

‘True Blood’ has already killed off a major character this season, but it looks like more supernaturals are dropping dead before the series’ end. In a new interview, Joe Manganiello teases his own death. Will Alcide really be killed off the show?

We know that “nobody is safe” on the final season of True Blood, but please don’t kill off Alcide (Joe Manganiello)! What will we do without those abs? Well, we’ll die. Keep reading to see if it’s really true — but warning: SPOILER ALERT.

‘True Blood’: Joe Manganiello Teases Alcide’s Death

Joe Manganiello is one sexy beast. But not for long…

In a recent interview, the actor behind the wolf pack teased Alcide Hervaux’s pending death on the final season of True Blood.

“I think it creates a sense of urgency and electricity to the season that anybody could go at any time,” Joe said on Watch What Happens Live on June 23. “No one is safe.”

Is Alcide Really Being Killed Off?

So is Joe just teasing us, or is Alcide the unsafe one, this time around?

“In the books they have Alcide Hervaux still alive, but the books and the show have not always been the same, and this season will prove that point on multiple occasions with one of the big things being Alcide being killed,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “The show is going to be pretty crazy this season and there [are] going to be several significant deaths happening.”

Even more deaths, after Tara? and Alcide?! Put a stake in us.

Even more shocking? Bon Temps hasn't caught wind of Joe’s departure yet — if Alcide is indeed dead, the news will be just as big of a surprise to Joe’s cast mates, as it was to us.

“They have filmed stuff with Joe afterwards and have done multiple endings to that death scene,” the insider adds. “So many people in the cast and crew think he is still alive.”

FANdomaniacs, will Alcide’s death crush you as much as it will crush us? We want to hear from you!!! 

Is It All a Dream...True Blood Style

So I bet the first few minutes of last night’s True Blood episode left you a little hot and bothered. We've seen it before, vivid sex dreams throughout the seasons. There was Jason with Warlow and Sam with Bill. To that point, last nights’ Jason & Eric dream tops the charts. I'm happy with any sex dream that involves Eric.

So our favorite Viking and our loveable dimwit share some erotic (I mean tender) moments under the dim lighting, music playing, in what appeared to be a Spanish villa, somewhere. Shirts off, six packs out, kissing...then Jason wakes up in a church of all places! Dream over and back to reality...but not before he hits his head, and sneaks a peak at his crotch.

The remainder of the episode was filled with despair as we see the havoc that the Hep-V vamps are causing everywhere. An entire town gone, with no help coming, it looks pretty bleak for the residents of Bon Temps. In their search to find some answers, Sookie stumbles upon a diary of a girl, the dead girl they found in the woods. The diary reads like a retelling of a story all too familiar for Sookie. Girl meets vampire, girls falls in love with vampire, and the world starts crumpling around her. Cue the flashback to season 1, when she talks Bill into taking her to Fangtasia. It was bittersweet to see them together back then, and I'm glad they included that in the episode.

Speaking of Fangtasia, that is where Arlene, Holly and Nicole, among others are being held captive. Arlene desperate to get them free recognizes one of the infected vamps as her child's former teacher and uses that to convince her to let them go. Mission accomplished - or so we think. One quick feed from Arlene before she frees them, but then she just dissolves into a puddle of black vamp goo. The big question here is why? Conclusion, the humans are still screwed!

So its starts out with an erotic sex dream, then a whole lot of depressing events, followed up by Eric...Eric with the tell-tale signs of Hep-V veins peeking out from his shirt. 

I felt a little emotionally drained after last night’s episode, what did you think?

A Look Back...Tara Mae Thornton

As our fangtastic series True Blood is coming to an end, I thought it would be cool to go back and reminisce about some of our most beloved characters. Since this week we lost Tara, I thought it was only right to remember Sookie's best friend.

I think what I like most about Tara was her candidness. Tara never minced words, and she would be the first to tell you exactly how she felt. Holding back what she thought was not quite her strong suit. Tara was also fiercely protective of those she cared about, even if it meant losing her own life as a human. Tara's story is a sad one, raised by an abusive mother, and equally neglected. She lost the love of her life, and she became what she loathed, she even died twice, (even though that's up for debate). But beyond that tough exterior, she was just a girl who wanted to be loved. Tara was defensive and insecure, and equally feisty and a fighter. She struggled with what she became, but she learned to embrace it. Tara was a very complex character.

Below are some of my favorite Tara moments.
Season 1:
"Oh, this aint rude. This is upitty. THAT'S FOR PATTIN' MY ASS TO MUCH! IMA GET MY BABY DADDY, WHO JUST GOT OUTTA PRISON, TO COME KICK YOUR TEETH IN!" And this is our introduction to Tara!!!

Season 2:
Season 2 brought that crazy Maenad Maryann who caused havoc in Bon Temps. We also got to meet Eggs (Benedict) who became Tara's love interest.

Season 3:

Tara depressed over the death of Eggs, took brief comfort in the arms and fangs of the psychopathic vampire Franklin.

Season 4:

In the beginning of the season we find Tara in Nawlins under the alias Tony, cage fighting with her girlfriend Naomi. As soon as she finds out Sookie has returned to Bon Temps,she does as well, only to find herself in another mess, this time with the witches. In a season finale shocker Tara takes a bullet for Sookie...ending her human life.

Season 5:

Tara becomes what she hates the most, a vampire. Pam is Tara's maker and saves her from killing herself, and teaches her how to feed. Tara struggled this season trying to adapt to what she has become.

Season 6:

Tara and Eric turn themselves in when Pam is captured and taken to Vamp Camp. In this season,Tara is starting to get comfortable with what she is now. In the last episode, Pam leaves to find Eric, leaving Tara to look after the newest vamp Willa.

Season 7:

Two minutes into the first episode and Tara is (supposedly) a pile of vampire goo. What a way to start the season. I think its important to point out we never do actually see Tara die in the fight scene with the Hep-V infected vamps. Will we see her again perhaps, I guess we have to wait and see!

We LOVE you Tara!!! And you will be missed. Always a fighter to the very end...

The Beginning of the End...True Blood

Without a doubt, True Blood has always been one of my favorite shows. Its sad and bittersweet that this is the end of the series. There was much anticipation for last nights premier. And it did NOT disappoint!!! The episode catered to the the human/vampire survival pairing thing,  “For every human a vampire. For every vampire a human.” With infected vamps causing chaos from the big cities to the small towns like Bon Temps, its not safe for anyone.

With a vicious attack from the Hep V-infected vamps, there were deaths and kidnapping right from the start (Arlene, Holly, and a very pregnant Nicole, to name a few). Nice way to kick off the new season. Then...wait, what??!! Tara's dead?? Without witnessing the death itself, we see her mother Lettie Mae covered in dead vamp goo...ie, Tara!!! Tara and her mother have always had a turbulent relationship, but the end of season six, Lettie Mae is begging Tara to drink from her, so she can finally nourish her. Tara does, and there's a reconciliation, an acceptance starting to formulate...then, we lose her...

I've read several articles that all say the same thing....no one is convinced Tara is dead. What do you think? Will we be seeing Tara again?
I guess we just have to wait and see...so in the interim, I thought I'd share some of Tara's most memorable quotes....

"Giving vampire blood to Jason Stackhouse is like giving ho-hos to a diabetic. You know he can't control himself!"
"I don't know what I expect - trash is as trash does."
"Yeah cause nothing says 'sorry' like a tuna cheese casserole."
"The one time in my life I thought I was happy, I was a f*ckin zombie."
"I'm an excellent driver. But you cannot prepare for a naked lady and a hog in the middle of the road!"
"Oh, this ain't rude. This is uppity!"

'True Blood' heading for Broadway?

Tony Rivetti/HBO

Who isn't addicted to HBO's 'True Blood' Come one raise your hands? So no one. Raise your hands if you don't want to see the show to end? Ahhh that's better. Now for the hard one. Who wants to see 'True Blood' on Broadway? Just as I thought I see those looks. In fact I have the same look on my face right now.

It seems that Nathan Barr the show's composer has pitched the idea of 'True Blood the Musical' to creator Alan Ball and wanting to get back to the show's roots.

I mean yes I would love to have more Alcide, Eric and yes even Bill, and of course Sookie, but can you imagine the show on Broadway without the faces we have all come to love and see every Sunday night?

I am all for the show must go on, but I think maybe, just maybe this is an "all good things must come to an end" kind of ending.

We want to hear from you. Would you want to see True Blood the musical? Are we ready for that as we get ready to enter the seventh and final season?

All Hail the Sheriff of Area 5

With the premier of the 7th and (sadly) final season of True Blood, just a few weeks away, I felt compelled to pay homage to my favorite sheriff in Louisiana. Granted, I know he isn't sheriff anymore, but wouldn't it be perfect to see him back where he belongs.

We all know how the season ended, with a beautiful naked Eric, reading...if you missed it, I said naked. He was very, very naked, and I think there was some snow and a mountain too.

Warlow dies (thank goodness), but with him goes the power for vampires to walk in the daylight without burning. Did Eric find a way to survive, or did he die? My guess is that Season 7 wouldn't be complete without Mr. Northman's good looks and quick wit. In a perfect ending I envision Sookie with Eric. They've always had this electric kind of chemistry, and as much as Sookie has despised Eric in the past, she also had a way of bringing out the good in him. My favorite Eric was Season 4 "Good Eric." He had such an endearing nature about him, and lets face it...the Sookie/Eric interaction was HOT...!!! Here's one of my favorite Eric quotes..., "You're going to invite me in so I can protect you. Or have passionate, primal sex with you. Or how about both?"




So fellow Trubies, what are you most looking forward to in this final season with our beloved vamps, faeries, shifters,wolves, witches and Jason?

Joe Manganiello leads the pack

With a budding film and stage career, “True Blood” werewolf Joe Manganiello transitions to leading man

• By JOHANNA SCHNELLER

Don't get him wrong — Joe Manganiello is happy and grateful to play Alcide, the preternaturally buff werewolf pack leader on HBO’s hit series “True Blood.” It’s just, well, “Sometimes all I’m being asked to do is rip my shirt off and growl,” says the classically trained actor with a BFA from Carnegie Mellon with a touch of rue. “Honestly, it’s been tricky,” he continues, “because this past year, I've been shooting one or two scenes an episode, which means I’m acting two or three days a month. It’s easy to not feel like an actor. I have to get my creativity out somehow.”

Jacket, $1,895; shirt, $475; and trousers, $635 — all at DOLCE & GABBANA, 825 Madison Ave. Belt, $440 at SALVATORE FERRAGAMO, 655 Fifth Ave. Watch, $3,600 at DAVID YURMAN, 712 Madison Ave.

A glance at the guy’s sculpted shoulders will tell you how determined he can be. So it’s no surprise that his creativity is popping out all over. He’s been after his manager to find him a David Mamet or Tennessee Williams play to do. She delivered — from Sept. 20 to Oct. 12 he'll star as Stanley Kowalski in Yale Repertory Theatre’s first-ever production of Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning “A Streetcar Named Desire,” directed by Mark Rucker. Manganiello, who is 36, has played the role before, at the West Virginia Public Theatre in 2008, “so I know the play inside and out,” he says. “But I’m excited to check in and see where I’m at now as a person, what’s going to get pulled out from me this time.” 

It’s his favorite play, he continues: “Everyone knows someone like these characters — the aging beauty, the abused spouse and this Jungian shadow form of a man. You don’t agree with the choices they make, but you get it. And what’s really amazing, on any given night, it depends on the performance as to who the audience is going to side with. There’s so much talk now about how the protagonists on cable TV are anti-heroes who live in a gray area, be it Don Draper on ‘Mad Men’ or Walter White on ‘Breaking Bad.’ People talk about this as if it’s some kind of new thing, but Tennessee Williams did it in 1947, and I think did it better than anybody. Stanley Kowalski is still the quintessential, top-of-the-mountain male role in American drama.”

For many, the quintessential Kowalski remains Marlon Brando in Elia Kazan’s film, but Manganiello is a confident guy; he’s not concerned with anyone else’s interpretation. “Am I intimidated? Not at all. I want it to be mine,” he says.
