The scene when Sam has Arlene’s kids at Fangtasia’s. Eric says that they are tea cup humans.Then Pam tells Eric, in I believe Swedish that she is so glad she didn’t have any of those things (kids). She says they stink and Eric tells her but their delicious. (delicato)
I always enjoy the banter between Eric and Pam!

Season # 1
Tara at work and this lady comes in looking for some thing she does not know what call it.But is sure they have it and drove over to get what she does not know what to call it.
Tara ask her does she have a phone ,then why didn”t you call be for driving over to get what she doesn’t know what call it .
Or did she just want to wear those ugle ass clothes.

I would probably pick Godric/Eric/Sookie on the roof before Godric meet’s the sun because it is SO emotional and telling of the world of the True Blood characters… It shows where the vampire world has been and shows where the goal might be for the future. Godric speaking of 2,000 years around humans combined with Sookie’s mortality and compassion and a sneak peak of Eric’s soul that has been buried so deep… Gah!!! How could you not get hooked after a scene with that kind of emotional climate?!

Gary Pinchot

I was hooked from episode 1 so I would have to say the opening scene from the first episode. It sets the mood for the rest of the series when the oblivious college kids stop in the convenience store and the clerk plays off like he is a vamp trying to freak them out. Then the local ‘Bubba’ guy walks up and pops fangs. It sets the mood for the season because everyone has a set image of what they expect vampires to look like and in the first 5 minutes ‘Bubba’ throws it all out the window and makes you rethink everything you thought you knew.

Loleaf

I would have to say the episode that I would show someone to get them hooked would be the ep. 8 : TIMEBOMB in the Fellowship of the Sun Church!! There was so much going on: Bill rushing in to save Sookie, Jason yelling “Newlin” shooting the gun out of his hand then painting a paintball bulls-eye right on his forehead (Quoting “Let Her Go Fu**wad”, just the look on Steve’s face while he was holding his head was priceless)! Sookie running to Save Eric against Bill’s wishes (and before it showed Eric smoking from being burnt by the chains, it showed Maryanne frying a heart in a skillet; now that’s what I call a segway.. lol). An all out brawl with the rogue vampires, Godric saving the day. Jason telling Sookie that it was like the Newlins sucked out his brains and planted their own babies in there. Then the peace DE Resistance: Jason telling Steve Newlin, “I reckin I’ve already been to heaven, it was inside your wife”!!!

Paige

I would chose the scene that hooked me! The very first scene when Sookie and Bill meet! And then I recommend every subsequent scene, episode, and book thereafter! After reading Dead Until Dark, and then watching the first episode of TrueBlood Season 1, I was hooked because I had never seen a more accurate book to screen adaptation. Anna Paquin portrayed the perfect intrigued Sookie to Stephen Moyer’s sultry, mainstreaming vampire Bill in this scene. The scene also lets the audience know that vampires are common knowledge in this universe, and although Bill may not seem scary, the surrounding humans are still wary and prejudice against the sudden vampire revelation. This scene also indicates to the audience that their is something more to Sookie than just being a “Waitress,” which leaves the audience wanting to know more.

Amy

The scene i would choose is the one where Eric is being made into a vampire by Godric. Powerful scene!

Adam Troutt

I’d have to pick the scene where Sam goes into Dawn’s apartment after she was murdered and starts rolling around and smelling the bed sheets. It’s just one of those scenes where you watch and say “WTF? Ok I need to know what’s going on.”

pbt

Why pick bloody, sexy or funny. I’ve chosen a scene that pulls all of these attributes together quite nicely.

The infamous bullet sucking scene between Sookie and Eric.

S: I can’t breathe. You weigh a ton.
E: Ahhh.
S: Uh oh.
E: Had to shield you.
S: Well hurry up and heal yourself. What are you waiting for?
E: Can’t silver. No time.
S: I will go and get Godric.
E: Silver. No time, suck it out.
S: Eric, I can’t. It’s too gross and it’s you.
E: I’m dying…..
S: Awe, son of a mother fuc*er. There!
E: The other one.
S: You’re kidding me. Ugh.
E: (big as* smile from Eric)

OK, I know I have it memorized forebatem but it really is a great scene and it encapsulates everything that is True Blood. The gore of the bombing, the sexual attraction on Eric’s part at least of course the comic nature of Eric and Sookie’s exchanges. Well done, Nancy Oliver for writing this episode.

Kudos to True Blood for a job well done on the entire episode but especially this exchange between Sookie and Eric and the “tiny falsehood”!

Jess McC

If I could pick one scene to convince someone to watch True Blood it would definitely have to be from Season 2 Episode 9. The scene where Sookie dreams about her and Eric for the first time. Eric barely wrapped in a bed sheet could surely convince just about anyone! 😉

kati

most definitely the scene where bill is waiting on jessica to come out of the ground after he turns her into a vampire- and he’s trying to explain to her how her new life will be- & all she cares about is killing people and she says you suck! hahah thats funny cause you do suck

Sofia

I would have to choose the scene of the first episode where Sookie notices Bill at Merlottes for the first time. The way she looks at him and says that they just got their first vampire was what hooked me to the show. Sookie’s wonder and interest in that scene is what I felt when I finished watching that episode, wanting more. So I think that scene will pretty much hook anyone to the show.

Jayne Ingram

This was a tuffy. There are so many to choose from!!! But i had to go with the scene where Eric shows up at Lafayette’s window and offers him his blood to heal him after getting shot at Fangtasia while being held captive. Watching Lafayette’s reaction to Eric’s blood while Eric’s on his cell phone talking to Bill, and then Eric’s wrist healing shows the extreme humor, and the cool special effects. My daughter and I nearly peed our pants we laughed so hard!

Susan

I’m going to have to go with the scene where Sookie is telling Bill about how Eric has Lafayette locked up. Then Sookie goes off on Eric with a nice little slap. I think it shows how much Sookie cares about the other around her. Plus it shows how strong she is a person. It also let’s you know that Eric has power. Also it let’s any new viewer know that these vamps have fangs that are meant to harm people. I just love the dynamic the two have.

Sue Luknbaugh

Picking just one scene is way too hard! I’d have to go with my favorite scene, even though its been used before. I’d show the scene in the basement with Eric and Lafayette. Eric with his hair in foil has just ripped apart his other captive…I love how he asks “Is there any blood in my hair?” all serious. It cracks up everytime.

Amanda

In my opinion, the draw of the show is the general concept, and the humor.

I would show the scene at the end of Se 2 where Sam takes Arlene’s kids to Fangtasia to ask for Eric’s help with Maryanne. It’s an all around perfect scene that demonstrates the shows humor (the teacup humans joke gets me every single time), and I love the kids reaction to their “first vamp experience” with Eric. The Pam/Eric dynamic is always great, and, Eric’s mega hotness is clearly a sell all in itself.

jessica

If I had to pick a scene to show my friend it would have to be the scene in season 2 where Jessica goes to Merlotte’s and meets Hoyt. Everything about that scene was perfect. It shows the duality of the vampires in an artistic way, because on the surface it’s romantic, but the darker side of Jessica is shown when she admires Hoyt’s pulse. I honestly think that was a great representation of a main theme in the show, and was the start of one of the best storylines on the show!

Jami

The scene where Eric takes Sookie from the church on Godric’s orders. She realizes Godric is Eric’s maker.

Sookie: He’s your maker isn’t he?
Eric: Don’t use words you don’t understand.
Sookie: You have a lot of love for him.
Eric: Don’t use words I don’t understand

It show’s viewers that Eric isn’t as hard as he makes himself out to be.

Michala Bernal

My friends are all a lil twisted, so it would be a pretty twisted scene.

Eric. Throws an arm at Lafayette. Tells him to let him know if he has any silver on him. Laf says I ain’t that stupid. Eric says, yes you are. Then he asks if there is blood in his hair. Pam’s gonna kill me. That’s great.

HAHA

My friends are all twisted. I would totally get them hooked on True Blood this way.

Alexandra Garrido

If i had to choose one scene it would be when Godric meets the sun up on the roof, because it shows that True Blood goes beyond the usual vampire stories and delves into the development of a vampires life. It shows how after thousands of years, good is not eradicated. I find this aspect intriguing. “A human with me at the end, and human tears. 2,000 years and I can still be surprised. In this I see God.”

gaile

If I had to choose one scene I probably choose the scene where Sookie saves Bill from the Drainers.. Where afterwards he gets close to her and asks her “WHAT ARE YOU?” and she answers ‘A WAITRESS”

I choose this cause the whole story is set up from that one scene.. A Waitress who’s life from that moment on will forever be connected to this one Vampire.. If you think about it. Everything sort of revolves around Sookie and Bill..
