I cleared my schedule, I sat down to watch and nothing. I thought it might have been on earlier and I missed it. This sucks!

Yeah, that fat fuck was scary. I'm pretty sure I saw penis swinging in the wind. If they're going to go full frontal, why couldn't it be Jason??

Then again, the fat guy is more believable to be running around the back woods of Lousiana than all the beautiful people. Hell, even the local serial killer was hot. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Anna Paquin: Nude Scenes Easier with a Real-Life Beau

Think playing a telepathic Southern hottie involves sage, séances and other supernatural stuff? Well think again, because for True Blood heroine Anna Paquin, work involves dropping trow on occasion!

"It's a sexy vampire show," the HBO star says in an interview with AOL Television, "and yes, there's more getting it on, so to speak."

Paquin, who plays sweet, clairvoyant Sookie Stackhouse on HBO's cult hit, doesn't seem bothered by all the nudity required of her on the show.

"I feel fine," Paquin says. "Although the way that people ask me about it all the time, I feel like maybe I should feel uptight about it. But I really don't."

Shooting those steamy scenes with costar and real-life love Stephen Moyer only makes it easier.

"Obviously, if you're already with that person then you're not having to sort of get over the 'Wow, I'm naked with someone that I don't even know the middle name of!'" she laughs.

"I think that regardless of what kind of scene you're doing, the better you know the person ... the more open and real your performance can be," she adds. "And that goes for stunt scenes and heavy emotional scenes and sex scenes. OK, so I have a little bit of a leg up in that particular area with my on-screen [partner]."

I honestly like all of the characters this season. I used to hate Jason, but he's so consistently dumb that I like him now.

I like everyone except Tara and that boring boyfriend/slam piece/whatever of hers. She is just boring the fuck out of me. I get that she can't be a shrill harpy for the duration of the show, but just give her SOME of her sass back. Tara's scenes with that guy are just so incredibly boring and out of place.

Yes, I much prefer smartass, cynical & angry Tara over the Tara that is caught under MaryAnn's spell. However, I can deal with this Tara for the time being, because I know it's temporary as everything is going to hit the fan with MaryAnn sooner or later and Tara is going to be back to her old self once she snaps out of it. Tara moving in with Sookie is something I was hoping for last season when Tara became a major character in the show. Tara will likely be even more cynical & angry after this thing with MaryAnn, becuase she is going to hate herself for being so gullible.

I'm with Pencake on liking all the characters on the show. I too did not like Jason last season, but this season he has really grown on me. He's so dumb and now that he is caught up with the FOTS, I just feel sorry for the poor feeble-minded tortured soul. It's good to see a more vulnerable side of Jason, before he just goes back to being the town man whore again.

Review of Sunday's Episode From USA Today...

Taking a detour to Dallas: Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Bill (Stephen Moyer).

'True Blood' gets truly great with new episode

Now True Blood's season has truly begun.

Not that the first three episodes haven't been great, gory, sexy fantasy fun, or that it hasn't been a pleasure to see new characters arrive and new stories begin. But with Sunday's episode, the first this season written by creator Alan Ball, you can just feel the show's main plots kick into another gear.

That is, by the way, par for the True Blood course: It was around this same time last go-round that Gran died, the event that jump-started the first season. Nothing quite that series-shaking happens Sunday, but major answers do arrive, including some important new information about that heart-coveting monster, as major shifts send the characters off and running in new directions.

For Sookie and her beloved blood-sucker, Bill (the perfectly teamed Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer), that means a trip to Dallas to hunt for a kidnapped vampire sheriff, with Bill's vamp ward Jessica (an amusingly petulant Deborah Ann Woll) in tow. No, the show hasn't left the backwoods of Bon Temps. But by taking a big-city sojourn, True Blood can explore a whole new humorous side of its out, loud and proud vampire metaphor, complete with luxury vampire hotels that play vampire porn. (Sample title: Intercourse With a Vampire.)

Happily, the new plot continues to stoke the fire Paquin and Moyer bring to their hot, star-crossed romance while adding a new layer of domestic comedy. Somewhat reluctantly, they're now raising a teenager - and underneath the vamp-vs.-human overlay is a smart exploration of the accommodations two very different people have to come to when parenting.

Other stories perk along, including one that reunites two terrific actors and characters: Alexander Skarsgard's Eric and Nelsan Ellis' Lafayette. Indeed, sparing Lafayette the deadly fate he met in Charlaine Harris' first book was one of the biggest and smartest departures the show has made.

The only story line stumble so far is Jason's (Ryan Kwanten) stint with an anti-vampire cult. It has been entertaining, but too much of the humor plays as an overly familiar attack on fundamentalists. If the plot (like the show itself) hasn't already shot over the top, it's skimming right along the border, and the writers would be wise to resist the urge to soar higher.

That qualm aside, what we're seeing this season is a show that has grown confident and comfortable enough to expand its universe while maintaining its tonal control. Almost every comic scene includes the threat of horror, and almost every horrific scene has some small touch of comic relief.

All in all, True Blood is one of TV's true joys. Drink deep.
