Shades of Grey: True Blood Talks to Michael McMillian
November 8, 2009 · 5 Comments

And then there’s Jason, for whom we have few expectations but who rose to the occasion and did the right thing… only to fall from grace again when... [Read the full story]

Bill And Sam Rivals With A Common Goal?
November 20, 2009 · 4 Comments
Both Bill Compton and Sam Merlotte may have more in common than you think. Both of these guys are searching for acceptance, compassion, tolerance and ultimately, love. They have both struggled with who and what they are. At the onset, these men seem to be rivals, opponents, if you will. Bill asks Sam to watch over Sookie while he must stand before a judge of a vampire court and be disciplined. What I find interesting is that when Bill returns to find Sookie and Sam...

What a shame to destroy Godric's beautiful home! An explosion like this necessitates the set to be built on stage and what a great look the art department and construction achieved.
