Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer Interview at TCA Press Tour

Real-Life Husband and Wife:

We’re halfway through the fourth season of True Blood, and things keep getting more and more intense as the episodes progress!  During the HBO segment of the TCA Press Tour, Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse) and Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton), who are not only co-stars, but husband and wife in real life, discussed several of the current storylines on True Blood.  Paquin and Moyer each had a lot to share during their interview.  First off, Paquin discussed Sookie’s stubbornness and pointed out that if she wasn’t so stubborn the show wouldn’t be quite as exciting.  (So true!)  The next question went to Moyer in regards to his reaction to finding out that Bill was going to be the new king of Louisiana.  Moyer stated that he knew the idea was being thrown around toward the end of Season 3 and that he felt lucky because of the fact that he’s had the opportunity to play the part of such an interesting storyline.  When Paquin was asked if she felt that it was fair for Sookie to have so many horrible things happen to her, she replied:

“I’m having the best time of my life. Are you kidding me? And, I’m not just a little thing, thank you very much. I can hold my own. I dare Alan Ball to come up with something I’ll say no to.”

Throughout the interview they go on to discuss several other topics such as whether or not Paquin envisions her character ending up with one character or the other, whether good oral hygiene (vampire) or good grooming (werewolf) is more important, and the current tense relationship of Bill and Sookie, to name a few.  They also talked about whether or not they discuss stuff that they would like for their characters to do on the show.  Moyer instantly pointed out that Alan Ball is very open to ideas and that they often pitch ideas as to what they would like to see happen.  Paquin added to Moyer’s reply and said:

“I certainly feel like they write to our strengths, or maybe that’s a giant coincidence. I don’t think I’ve ever really gone in with, ‘I think this should definitely happen.’ Sometimes I pitch things that are a joke. There was a scene in episode 9 with me, Steve and Alex, that I pitched, which I can’t tell you about, but that was sort of a joke, but not really. Sometimes I wonder if I say things that are really outlandish and, because of the nature of our show, maybe they actually might end up in the show.”

I have to say, I’m extremely curious as to what this ‘outlandish’ scene with Sookie, Bill, and Eric could be.  Anyone have any ideas?  I have an idea, but I want to see what everyone else thinks before I put it out there!   Next they talked about some of the great lines that they get the opportunity to say, and each of them pointed out that Kristin Bauer Van Straten (Pam) gets a lot of great lines and that she quotes them so beautifully.  I completely agree with that.  I absolutely love Pam’s character on the show!  Later on in the interview Paquin is asked what she does to stay in shape, and she admits to “working out like a crazy person.”  Moyer’s response:

“It is utterly insane. I have never seen anybody do what she does, and with so much gusto, and happily.”

Toward the end of the interview they were asked what their ideal getaway was when they get time off.

Moyer’s response was:  “A quick 10 minutes in the trailer.”

Paquin’s response:  “We love to go away.”

I like how she didn’t comment on his answer!  The interview, as a whole, was an excellent read.  Click here to read the entire interview.  It’s definitely worth reading.  Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are absolutely hilarious!  Some of their responses really made me laugh out loud!  So what do you guys think about the interview?  What questions would you like to ask Stephen and Anna, given the chance?  Let us know in the comments below!

Top Quotes from Episode 6 “I Wish I was the Moon”

Favorite Lines from Season 4, Episode 6:

Sunday’s episode was one that most True Blood fans have been waiting for since the tall blond viking vampire stole our hearts at Fangtasia. “I Wish I Was the Moon” was a very bittersweet episode where fans of Eric got what they have long been waiting for, but the breaking of Bill’s heart was a sound that was loud and clear. So our top quotes of the night? Starting from the beginning:

“The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

Right from the first scene, True Blood catches our breath. It looks though that Eric and Sookie needed help catching theirs too.

“That’s what this is about? You’ve been running around sticking your fangs and who knows what else into every girl in town, but the second I move on, YOU ARREST HIM?”

Sookie to Bill when he arrests Eric from literally under her. You tell him girl, don’t let that silly boy take your man.

“I request a warrant to impose the true death.”

Bill to Nan Flanagan requesting death for Eric. Ohhhh Bill, you are playing dirty.

“Terry put it out, no smoking in the boudoir.”

Arlene to Terry when smelling the smoke which led to her house exploding. After worrying about baby Mikey, they found him already outside with that really weird ugly doll. Alan Ball, I want to be inside your head to see where this story is going.

“The ghost of my serial killin’ ex-fiance just tried to murder us, in our sleep — we’re just peachy!”

Arlene to Sam Merlotte. Poor Sam always seems to be on the opposing end of crazy women yelling at him.

“Fighting crime — it’s a helluva workout.”

Andy Bellefleur to Holly when helping her move her heavy furniture. Sure Andy, we totally believe you. Looks like this hard crime fighter V abuser is going to get a pretty for a cheeseburger date with Holly.  Maybe there is a love story for him after all.

“Goat tongue… for breakfast… wow, it smells… well done. Yum.”

Lafayette when confronted with breakfast at Casa Jesus’ crazy grandfather. I don’t think Jesus’ grandfather is going to win any Top Chef awards with this breakfast.

“You’ve reached officer Jason Stackhouse, if this is an emergency, dial 9-1-1 and ask for me. Peace.”

Jason’s voice mail message. While calling Jason Stackhouse in case of an emergency is tempting, I think I might just stick with 9-1-1.

“I shoulda known, this is a sex thing isn’t it?”

Sookie to Jason when she finds him handcuffed to the bed at his house. We have seen Jason tied up so much this season, this actually looked normal to me.

“Debbie needs to keep her mouth shut.”

Alcide to the Packmaster of Shreveport. This one was a favorite because, well, come on — we have wanted Alcide to get mad at Debbie all season.

“So let me get this straight — we waitin’ for a wild animal to walk up to us and volunteer to die?”

Layfayette to Jesus when waiting out in the field for a sacrifice. Lala, haven’t you heard that it’s rude not to give your host or hostess a gift?

“What do you think that meant, ‘change my kitty litter’?”

Jason to Sookie when asking her to shoot him when he starts to sprout fur. Sookie changing Jason’s kitty litter, now that would be awkward.

“Go shift, kill stuff, do whatever werewolves do, I got this.”

Sookie to Alcide and Debbie after asking them about how to become a werepanther. Sookie looked so cute stomping around the woods toting a big shot gun. Alcide, how could you go off with Debbie?

“Those Hotshot f**ckers are so dumb, they can’t even make a werepanther right.”

Jason to  Jessica when he realizes he is not changing into a werepanther. Guess Crystal was as crazy as we all thought she was.

“Girls! No need to squabble, there’s plenty of me to GO around.”

Pam to Tara and her new girlfriend. Pam looks awful and is ready to take her vengeance out on those two fine ladies!

Now the last two are more sounds than actual quotes. Right there in the woods, the woodland creatures slept to the sweet sound of Eric and Sookie making love under the bright moon. All along through the woods, is Bill on his front porch — and the sound of his heart breaking is deafening.

So did your favorite line make our cut? Leave your favorite quote of the night! Return here next week for the next episode of favorite quotes.

True Blood Season 4, Episode 6 “I Wish I Was The Moon” – Review/Recap

 

Witches, Shifters and Weres, Oh My!

Eric. Sookie. ‘Nuff said.

Okay, not really. There’s a lot more that needs to be said about this episode. And it’s not all full-moon-romps-in-the-woods, if you know what I mean…

After teasing us last week with Eric and Sookie locking lips, we picked up right where we left off (thank Godric). Hot. Hot until Bill interrupted. His mix of emotions and reactions here was true to form. Eric and Bill’s fight was full of delectable tension, until Sookie informed Eric he was about to stake his King. Again, Bill Compton’s reaction to Eric’s sudden turnaround was pitch-perfect confusion.

While we’re on the subject, I’m just going to skip right to the ending. Eric’s final requests were quite touching. His reasoning for releasing Pam sounded a lot like the old Eric. His statements about Sookie, however, were a little heavy-handed, but I went along with it. The hook-up at the end was steamy and all, though I still contend that the opening scene was sexier. Maybe that’s just me… Did anybody else think Bill could’ve shed a single blood-tear while he was standing on his porch with a snifter of TruBlood? Come on.  He supposedly still cares about Sookie. He supposedly still hates Eric. He set Eric free knowing what was going to happen, probably purposely, considering Eric’s words about Sookie deserving to be happy with whoever can provide it for her. Didn’t that affect him in the slightest? All season, Bill’s actions have been throwing me. Not all that thrilled with him.

Elsewhere in Bon Temps –

Witches, witches, witches. Terrible stories about witches and vampires in Spain, wreaking havoc on each other. There’s major history here with the vampires infiltrating the Catholic church, torturing witches through the Spanish Inquisition. While the scenes themselves were well done and visually effective, I’ve decided that the only time “history” works in True Blood is when it involves characters we know and care about. And I don’t know these characters, so the history lessons feel… well, like history lessons. As hard as I’ve been trying all season, I just cannot get into the witch story. It’s becoming too much. Vampires and weres and shifters all have their own issues. Must the witches get involved? Though I got to admit, Jesus’s abuelo is one screwed-up dude. Terrifying, really.

Tara’s girlfriend finally busted her for lying, forcing Tara to ’fess up about her real life. The most interesting thing about her story was she seems pretty well set on staying in Bon Temps.

Very upset about the Tommy skin-walking situation. This is because I love Sam and hated to see Tommy ruin Sam’s life in less than 24 hours. Though kudos to Sam Trammell’s mad acting skills. He totally had the Tommy Mickens walk and talk down pat. As the skin-walker, “Tommy-Sam” left quite a wake – fired Sookie, slept with Luna and subsequently dissed her.

Really, did anybody actually play their own characters? Tommy was Sam (meaning Sam Trammell was playing Marshall Allman as Tommy trying to be Sam Merlotte… whew…), Lafayette and Marnie were each possessed by another spirit, Eric was still amnesia-ed …

“I’m a police officer! And a werepanther! Back off!”

On the plus side, this was Jason’s best episode all season. He was so innocently scared at the potential of becoming a werepanther, it was adorable. And his heartfelt conversation with Jessica was absolutely endearing. I’m not sure where they’re going with this, but I’m admittedly curious. I love Jess and Hoyt, but this could work as something, too.

Arlene and Terry’s house erupted in flames. Baby Mikey was already outside with that damn doll. Who was that lady? She looked too pretty to be evil. But why else would Mikey see her? Very creepy. Glad Terry’s armadillo made it out okay.

A little bit of Alcide is better than no Alcide at all. And with Debbie joining the pack behind his back, it’s only a matter of time before she does something crazy. Right? Right??

 

Clearly, this was not one of my favorite episodes, despite the Eric and Sookie situation. And that’s kind of depressing. Sorry if this was ultra-negative. Maybe I’m being too harsh. What did you guys think?

Video: HBO’s Inside the Episode – I Wish I Was the Moon

Spoiler Alert: Eric and Sookie!

Don’t read on if you haven’t already seen Episode 6 (I Wish I Was The Moon) of HBO’s True Blood.

Well, what an episode this one was! Fans of the Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) relationship were in for a treat. It started with that kiss at the end of the previous episode. We spent all week wondering what would follow in the opening scene of the new episode. And good on Alan Ball to drag that anticipation out even longer – right to the end of the episode, in fact!

While we all hated Bill (Stephen Moyer) at the start of this episode, there were a couple of tender moments that made our hearts melt for Sookie’s first beau. When Eric uttered the words: “Tell her I was born the night she found me,” we started to melt for Eric, but then when we saw the look on Bill’s face when Eric uttered the words: “After I’m gone, I hope you’ll find your way back to each other… because she deserves happiness,” there was no way we, as an audience, could hold complete malice for Bill. Bill letting Eric go, even at the expense of losing Sookie forever, was the icing on the cake.

So what did you think of Episode 6?

New Set Designs on True Blood

New Renovations for Season 4:

Production Designer Suzuki Ingerslev sat down and answered a few questions about the inspiration used to create the new home designs that have made their appearance this season on True Blood.  Not only have Sookie’s homes’ former Maenad-inspired decorations been replaced, but King Bill’s home has also seen many major changes!

One of the first questions asked during the interview was, “Sookie’s house looks new.  How did it get that way?”  Ingerslev’s response:

“Eric repainted the façade a warm yellow color with Navajo White trim and touched up the landscaping.  Eric kept her house the way he knew she liked it best, which is how Gran originally decorated it.  We updated a few electronic appliances, such as a microwave and a big screen TV, which are actually gifts for Sookie from Eric.”

The remainder of the questions asked involved the new layout and design of Bill’s residence.  ”Bill Compton’s house really got the extreme makeover, from shabby to unbelievably chic.  Why does it look so contemporary?”  Ingerslev replies:

“When we first meet Bill in Season 1 he inhabits a worn-down antebellum home that was inherited by ancestors who, over the years, had performed various remodels but had left it in ruin. It did have a Victorian feel, but that style wasn’t necessarily an indication of Bill’s taste. We chose a modern style for him because we felt he had been around for a long time and had traveled the world. There are antiques and treasures from other countries and time periods he might have accrued through his adventures.”

“The formal entry to the home really sets a tone. What are the key design elements?”

“Like all the rooms in Bill’s house remodel, it has a nice mix of old and new elements. The zebra rug is a nod to the hunting trophy rooms of the past. The chandelier, like the one in Bill’s study, takes the traditional element of a crystal chandelier and amps it up by encasing it in a rusted wrought iron sphere. Once we cross Bill’s threshold, we want audiences to feel his worldliness and quiet power. We want his house to reflect how he rules Louisiana with an understated but iron-fisted elegance.”

“His office has a Hollywood Regency vibe, normally a somewhat frilly style. But it reeks of sex and power, doesn’t it?”

“It is meant to be his lair. We wanted the room to be extremely masculine and authoritative and could be a place from which King Bill could stage his power plays.”

“How would you describe King Bill’s living room?”

“If I had to name a style I would say it’s in the vein of old Hollywood meets Southern plantation. The goal for the living room was to create a tranquil, formal room in which Bill could greet and entertain guests. We see less of Bill’s individual personality here, but something that is much more formal, although still relaxed and intimate.”

So what do you all think about the new set design?  Do you like the new changes or did you prefer the old layout?  (By the way, am I the only one curious as to what Eric’s lair looks like?)  Let us know what you think about the renovations in the comments below!

Truebloodnet’s Favorite Quotes from Season 4, Episode 4 – “I’m Alive and on Fire”

Watercooler Gossip:

Truebloodnet is bringing True Blood fans their favorite quotes from episode four. Each week, fans can’t wait to see the new episode of True Blood and then race to the water cooler on Monday to talk about what happened on Sunday’s show. Here is our way of bringing those favorite scenes back to you.

Love Drunk

The first quote is from Sookie who stares at Eric like a puppy who has messed on her new carpet:

“You can’t have any more, there isn’t anymore, you drank the WHOLE fairy, and you’re going to your room!”

Eric had other plans though:

“Hey! Did you just pinch my butt?”

While Eric was frolicking in the woods, Pam was being grilled about his whereabouts by Bill. After making her mad, the third great comment of the night comes:

“You like the feel of it don’t ya, Bill? That crown.”

While Bill may not like the feel of the crown, Eric seems to love the feel of the swamp water and DOES NOT want to get out.

“There’s big gators in there you crazy viking, get on out and let’s go home before one of them chomps off your you-know-what!”

Eric, we can’t let that happen, you better get out of that water!

Cat Scratch Fever

Quite a few great quotes came from Jason’s ordeal. Viewers first find Jason tied to a bed where a woman from Hot Shot is taking full advantage of his situation.

“Well, I don’t know why you’re crying, I’m the one getting raped,”

he says to her.

Next one comes from Luther who yells to Jason:

“Breed, Ghost Daddy, breed!”

The fifth quote comes from Crystal Norris who finds Jason in the woods after he has escaped and killed Felton. She is very happy to see him and even happier that Felton is dead.

“I’m big momma kitty now.”

And that you are Crystal, that you are.

Witchy Woman

The witches this season have been dangerous and full of great lines. Since Marnie has cast the spell on Eric, Lafayette,  Jesus, and Tara have 24 hours to have her reverse the spell. She tries to tell them that she can’t remember. Lafeyette will not hear any of that!

“You get her ass on the gotdamn Goddess line and you tell her to turn this curse a-f***in-round!”

Well, that’s one way of putting it. While that group is trying to reverse the spell, Nan Flanagan is giving Bill Compton hell about sending Eric to the Moon Goddess Emporium.

“Some old hippies levitated a dead bird, so what?”

Well Nan, it was a little more than that, which Pam later learns when she says the famous line,

“Are you f***ing retarded?”

I think it’s fair to say that Marnie won that fight.

Love Comes in All Kinds

Quote number eleven is from Debbie Pelt who is not concerned with Alcide helping Sookie:

“You’re in my bed, boy — I aint worried about no Sookie.”

Debbie obviously did not see how Alcide and Sookie looked at each other.

Number twelve and thirteen have to do with families. First, is the shocking revelation of finding out that Bill is related to Portia Bellefleur:

“You’re my great-great-great-great-granddaughter.”

I don’t think Portia thought it was that great. The next wasn’t a spoken line, but a great one nonetheless.

“Baby not yours”

was found written on the wall at Arlene’s house. It appears that the baby wrote it, but I am skeptical.

The Tangled Webs

The last two of the night come back to Sookie’s love triangle. While the situation between her and Eric hasn’t escalated, it is obvious that Eric would like more with Sookie.

“If you kiss me, I promise to be happy.”

Yes, Eric I would be!

Bill soon shows up at Sookie’s house and asks to search it looking for Eric. Sookie feels a need to protect him so she tops the night with the best quote of the night.

“When have I ever lied to you? Ever?”

Well they do say there is a first time for everything.

So this is our list from episode four, did you find your favorite quote of the night?

True Blood Season 4, Episode 3 “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’?” – Review

Alcide is Back and Eric is “Gone”:

“I know what I am, Snooki.”

Whew. After his initial monologuing, Amnesia Eric was a delightful surprise. Finding Debbie in Alcide‘s pretty new house? Horrible surprise. But more on that later…

I’ve seen/heard a few complaints that this season “isn’t as good” or “it’s gotten weird.” Let me just say – #1, We’re 3 episodes in, haters! Don’t judge a season so quickly. And #2, I just have to plain disagree. Season 4, so far, has been at least on par with previous seasons. And I’ll tell you why.

True Blood has been loved from the very beginning for its soapy-meets-campy tone. Fluffy meta moments lighten up the drippy drama of a faerie living in a vampire hierarchy. Hence, Sookie reading a Charlaine Harris novel. Look, whenever a series throws in new characters, or changes characters drastically – either temporarily or permanently – fans are always quick to turn on their favorite show. All I’m saying is give it time before you start trolling comment threads. You can’t judge a whole season until it’s over. And I don’t know about you, but I’m in no rush.

Rant over. On to the good stuff –

Eric’s newly innocent state has proven to be the most adorable thing ever. I know I said that last time about his wooing Sookie with appliances, but I mean it even more this week. Between his apologies (“sorry”) and the ever-so-sincere tone when he asked Sookie “Would you like to be mine?”- sigh. Alexander Skarsgård did an outstanding job making Eric vulnerable without being too ridiculous.

Pam was quick to panic when she learned the news, and now she’s all uber-suspicious of Bill. Is it really possible that Bill would set up Eric like that? True, he already tried once. And yes, Sookie did ask Bill for help with Eric’s home-owning situation. But Bill’s angry voicemail makes me think otherwise.

Jessica and Hoyt are having relationship issues, yes. And while it was nice to see Jess reunite with her maker, the scene felt a little awkward. Seeking relationship advice, Bill and Jessica’s talk didn’t feel “father-daughter” “brother-sister” or “best friends.” It just felt weird. Although it did garner one of my favorite quotes from the episode: “Vamp up.”

What about that doll? It freaked me out the first time we saw it on the floor of Jess & Hoyt’s new place, then seeing Hoyt holding it was a whole other level of creepy. At least Baby Mikey seems to be enjoying it.

So Tommy wants to steal from the woman who has taken him in. Charming. I liked Tommy best when he worked at Merlotte’s – he had great chemistry with Jessica and he could be involved without some contrived storyline. Now, Tommy’s character just seems lost.

Bill and Portia, huh? Like her or not, you got to respect Portia’s bluntness. Girl knows how to get to the point.

I’m not sure why, but I just can’t get into Lafayette and Jesus. I’m bored when their wiccan ways are discussed. Sure, Marnie is fascinating and I’m curious to see if the spirit will accept her sacrifice. But otherwise, eh.

Poor Jason! For real, that boy just can’t win. His entire storyline was disturbing this week. That scene with all the girls watching? Yikes. I hope Jason gets to spend an episode not tied to a bed soon.

Finally, Alcide. I was so happy to see him. He and Sookie are all cute and then who walks in, but former V-addict/Russell Edgington dog Debbie. Blindsided by that one. Clearly, Sookie wasn’t thrilled, either. Totally ruined her plans. Where will that relationship go?

Sam and Tara had a cute moment. It’s nice that they’re still friends. That’s really all I have to say on the matter.

So Eric drained Claudine, huh? I was a little confused – did Eric appear because he heard Sookie yell at Claudine or just because he smelled her or something?

This was a good episode for certain characters while others stalled out in the background. But with only 55 minutes or so, we can’t always see everybody.

What’d you all think?

True Blood Season 4, Episode 2 Review – “You Smell Like Dinner”

Amnesia, anyone?

Now that we’re all caught up after losing a year, we actually had the chance to delve a little deeper with some of these storylines.

We began with Sookie finding herself in a predicament. Eric smartly bought her house, to her horror, with the intention of owning her. And while he came on a bit strong in the first episode, Eric made some very good arguments here. Sookie’s rare Faerie blood makes her a huge target for vampires. Eric can provide protection. Sookie didn’t, or couldn’t, go along with it. And I can’t really blame her. After all, her experience with Bill was pretty scarring. It can’t be easy to just go along with a new vampire.

Can I just say, has Eric been any more adorable than with his “Out with the old” “In with the new” notes? I mean, okay, it’s an appliance, but still… adorable. Though Sookie did not seem to agree. Her reaction to Eric’s built-in hidey-hole, or “cubby” was priceless. And even the grand ol’ King can’t help Sookie. Bill tried though, sort of. While I wasn’t thrilled with his cool response to Sookie, Bill’s flashback to his London days in the early 80′s was genius. Bill rocked the punk eyeliner and spiked hair of the underground scene like a champ.

So we learned that Bill’s been working to mainstream vampires with Nan Flanagan since the 80′s. Interesting. But it was disappointing to know that Queen Sophie-Anne’s demise was brought on by a well-planned, well-armed human regiment of the AVL, and not an epic vampire battle to the death. Come on, Bill. Fight your own battles.

Anyway –

The rest of the Bon Temps crew had their own issues. Sam’s new love Luna revealed just how twisted she is… and the idea of “skin-walkers” freaks me out. Arlene’s baby bursting a blood vessel in her eye… or so Arlene seemed to think, was also pretty scary. I’m very curious to find out more about that baby.

And Jason! Forced to procreate with Crystal (on account ‘a Felton’s infertility), but only AFTER he becomes a werepanther? Bummer. I knew this is where Jason’s story went in the books, but if this all follows through, then we’re down another human in Bon Temps. And if everyone’s supernatural, then they don’t seem so super anymore.

Speaking of the books, I knew the amnesia story was looming over Eric this season; I just had no idea it would happen so quickly. It was unsettling to see a wandering, confused, shirtless Eric. Marnie’s terrifying spell-casting was intense. I love Fiona Shaw as Marnie. She’s believable, weird, creepy. Perfect.

The episode as a whole was strong, if a little heavy on story and light on action. But good stories are important, so I can live with that. Sure we didn’t have a lot of blood and gore, but that’s not what it’s always about, people!

Anybody else really been missing Alcide? I’m eagerly anticipating his arrival this season…

What’d you think of “You Smell Like Dinner?”

True Blood: Episode 1 Fashion Recap

Season 4 Looks Set to Rock the Fashion Stakes:

Okay, now we have finally had our fix of a new episode. The next thing is: What were they wearing? Here’s a rundown for the fashion (and vampire) inclined.

Sookie

Think Alice in Wonderland for fashion for our favorite barmaid this season. We see her in just he cutest little blue dress ever! She complements the look with one of her classic headbands.

Jason

This season Jason is channeling the ‘hot cop’ look, complete with a new goatee. While those guys out in Hotshot may think he should be kept in a freezer, I am hoping he gets a chance to strut more of the cop look soon.

Eric

More tanks, more leather, more Eric. Enough said. Nobody does cool and dead like a dead viking. But he has had over a thousand years to get his style right.

Bill

On the other hand, we have Bill. He seems to have finally worked out that Henley shirts are out of fashion, and have been since he died. He is looking more refined this season, which is the only thing befitting a king. The look certainly becomes him. Of course, now he is the bad guy, and we shouldn’t be caring one way or the other how he looks!

Wiccans/Witches

This bunch seems to fall into two distinct categories: Hot Librarian and Frumpy. Marnie fits into the latter category. It’s strange to see a leader of a coven dressed like she has a floordrobe and no light bulb. The rest of her coven fall into the ‘hot librarian’ category.

Lafayette

Now here is a man who has no fear of clothes and new and exciting ways to wear them. He has chosen the Mr. T look this season. That or someone placed a ferret on his head while he was sleeping and forgot to tell him. There are more scarves worn as head gear and more pretty long tops that would look great on a girl, but look spectacular on Lafayette.

Pam, Et Al

Pam is continuing with her pink PTA look. She still looks adorable and deadly all rolled into one.

Tara has become Toni. She has ditched the new hairstyle and gone for ultra-smooth locks. She has also taken up fighting as a profession, so expect plenty of shorts and tanks for this girl during Season 4.

Jessica and Hoyt have been raiding the same wardrobe: namely Hoyt’s. They both appear in matching jeans and plaid shirts. Jessica, however, does lose this look and take on a dress once she and Hoyt have a domestic.

Can’t wait to see what the next episode brings!

Thanks to Randi for bringing us the scoop. Remember Truebies, we welcome your contributions.
