for me i will tell them to walk the scene where godric is taken and eric is bind in silver. when all the vampires show up to kill the fellowship and jason hits steve with the paint ball gun. that scene had everything, fun, action, danger it was just everything the show stands for.

I would have a friend view the scene where sookie in bed turns to her partner and we see Eric. They are teasing about why she doesn’t want to be turned. I like the scene it comes after Bill tells Sookie that since she had some of Eric’s blood when whe thought she was heping after the bomb went off now not only would he sense her feelings she would feel an attraction to him. tghe look on her face is priceless.

Emily Wasek

I think I would show the scene from season 1 in episode 7 (I believe) where Bill and Sookie have sex for the first time and they take a bath together. Why you ask? Apart from oogling Stephen Moyer and all his goodness, I like this scene dialogue wise. Bill and Sookie talk about vampire myths that most people today find stupid. You get a lesson in the realm of this vampire world Alan Ball and Charlaine Harris have worked so hard to create. I love Bill’s answers especially to reflections being a myth vampires themselves started to lure in prey and I find it hilarious that crosses are “geometry”. This scene shows humor and sex, but Sookie shares some of her darker sides of her past with Bill in this scene as well. It gives a glimpse into the complexity of the world of True Blood without giving a “newbie Truebie” too much all at once. This is the perfect scene to titillate the senses with pure essence of True Blood genius. Plus who wouldn’t get hooked by watching two beautiful people naked talking about mythology, sex, and danger?

I would show them the graveyard ssex scene. they didnt believe me about it lol. so i wanna show them

The scene that I feel would “hook” most viewers would have to be when Bill saved Sookie from the Rattray’s while they sit by the water. She takes his blood and begins to heal from her life-threatening injuries and Bill discovers what a different “human” Sookie is. I feel this is where Bill falls for Sookie and will do anything to protect her.

Alia

The moment during which Sookie eats Gran’s pecan pie, all by herself after the funeral is especially moving. Sookie always strives to please others and put on a happy face during difficult times. But this time, it was just too much for her to bear. She did not allow herself to even cry, and then she blew up at Maxine Fortenberry for touching the pie. When she does finally eat the pie and cry, all by herself in the kitchen, it is an amazing image and an important moment for Sookie; she finally lets herself grieve and acknowledge that she cannot fix everything, and sometimes its alright to let yourself feel sad.

Dina

I would show them “Cold Ground” from Season 1; right in the middle of all the murders but a first time viewer wouldn’t be lost; we see Sookie lose her grandmother and finally give in to all of her emotions for Bill; and it ends so perfectly with him biting her that you’re like AH! I need to see more!? Anyones would be hooked from then on.

jessikuh

I would show my friend the scene where Jason smites Sam in front of the Bon Temps Zombies. Why? Well 1 because it’s hilarious and 2 because I know her type and a naked version of “her type” will have her saying “next episode please!” by the end of it.

Grace

There are so many great scenes to choose from but an all-time favorite of mine is from season one. Lafayette’s AIDS-burger scene with the rednecks is not only one of the best scenes from this show but in my opinion from any show on TV. I just love it.

heatherzilla

My favorite is the Godric/Eric/Sookie storyline. I would show my friends the scene where Godric meets the sun and Sookie’s dream of going to Eric afterward.

Lori V.

Like the others all said I was bitten from the start. There are so many that I’ve shown others that have turned them to fangbangers. The one that gets them the most is when Sookie finally gets dressed in her white nightgown and runs to Bills grave and they make love in the mud. At first some of their reactions where like “oh My” gross. Then the guys were saying “that’s my kind of girl” right after a football game on the field baby 50 yard line. He got smacked for that. Great show they have even added HBO this season just for Trueblood. WE CAN’T WAIT!

Leslie

I was hooked from the very first episode, too. I have brought over my skeptical friends, however, by introducing them to the humor that comes in so well during the heavy, dramatic moments. For example, the scene in Season 2 when Eric has Lafayette in the basement, and he rips Lafayette’s fellow prisoner limb from limb, then turns to Lafayette and asks if there’s blood in his hair, commenting that Pam’s going to kill him. While all of my friends aren’t crazy about vampires, they DO all appreciate dark, irreverent humor, which True Blood delivers in spades!

stephen noonan

the scene that i would pick would be the one on the roof between godrick, eric and sookie in season two. not only was the dialogue that was spoken by godrick prior to his “meltdown” demise poetic, but the entire scene had raw emotion and compelling performances between all three actors.

I have actually turned several of my friends and family members onto True Blood by having them come over and watch the episodes on demand with me. If I were to pick the one episode I could show them to convince them to watch the show, it would have to be episode 6 of season 1. This is the one where Sookie comes home to find her Gran lying on the floor murdered. I cried during this episode, it was heartbreaking. I had not read the books at that point so I had no idea of what was coming and it shocked me to the core. It shows that this show is outside the norm of others, in that it can kill off one of the main characters in the first few episodes and not lose its veiwers but gain more. This is also the episode in which Bill stands outside Sookies house on the lawn all night long, along with Sam in collie form watching over her. The next night is the first time Bill and Sookie make love on the show and he bites her for the first time. In this episode Sookie also stumbles onto Bill’s actual grave during her Gran’s funeral. For these reasons and many many others I would choose this episode. I would love the chance to have a season 3 premiere party but can not really afford everything to do so, and if I were to win this package, it would allow me to do just that.

The one scene I would chose from the first season would be the scene where Vampire Bill visits Sookie, her Gran, Jason and Tara at Gran’s house. My friends love to laugh! So picking this scene would surely spark curiousity in my friends and get them to watch more. When Tara askes Bill if the Compton’s owned slaves? …hilarious!!!!

Melissa

I would show them the first episode, that was all it took for me to fall in love. I know that’s all it takes because I have already done this to my sister, 2 coworkers, and 2 neighbors!! I love that they are all as obsessed as I am. My younger sister was watching prior to me and she came over one day and we watched episode one and I went straight to the store and bought the first season as soon as she left.
Thank you for the opportunity.

For me I was hooked from the very first episode. I think it has the ability to pull anyone in. I love the scene in particular when sookie first sees bill in the bar yet she doesn’t know his name yet and sheand everyone else is mesmerized watching him at the table. she then turns to sam and says I think merlottes just had its first vampire. she is so excited and happy just like a child while sam and tara are pretty apphrensive. it sets up an interesting dynaic amongst the characters right off the bat and you just know you are in for an interesting ride.

R.E.B.

Because I love humor in my darkness, I’d start with the scene where Eric is at Lafayette’s window in season 2, after he’s released him. There is fear in the beginning, but then, when Lafayette is healed, Eric sits calmly after doing his “good deed” while Lafayette bounces around, wanting to “dance” yelling “Vegas Baby”. It is part of what makes me love this show, an awesome character in Lafayette that makes me laugh with his quirks, Eric’s sexy and sly knowledge and power and crazy situations involving scary vampires and humans. It’s a great contrast, as lightening up the tension/suspense with strange humor is my cup of tea. Or cup of V, whichever. 🙂 I would have to glamour them afterwards to prevent spoilers (just remember the feeling that now they needed to see the show). But that can be arranged. 🙂

Any scene picked would convince someone to watch True Blood. The one I would choose would be when Lorena attacks Sookie and Godrick grabs Lorena by the neck and says retract your fangs. No wonder they hate us it ones like you who make them feel that way. And he goes on to say how she acts like a child that pulls the wings off a dragonfly for sport and like a child Lorna replies well she provoked me first. Godrick then puts her in her place by saying you provoked me why didn’t I act like a child like you I could have but I did not why because you have a choice how you act that’s right then he makes her leave. This is what the show is all about the choices that each one makes whether to be good or evil its up to them. This is what Godrick points out.
And yes I did paraphrase the seen.

Jessie

I was hooked with the first episode, so from that episode, I’d tell my friend about the scene where Sookie rescues Bill from Denise and Mack Rattray. It introduces the audience to the danger and allure of the vampire/human relationship. It also shows off Sookie’s spunk, courage, and intelligence which keeps you wanting to watch what else she’ll do. Not to mention the drug addiction element that is very relatable to “the real world.” I’ve managed to talk many friends into watching True Blood this way. 🙂

lizzie

The scene I would show would be the one where Bill first meets Gran and then Bill and Sookie go for a walk. Sookie asks Bill to glamour her and she pretends to be glamoured then laughs in his face! The look of confusion on Bill’s face is priceless! Then, after a while they arrive at Bill’s place and Bill asks Sookie to take he clip out! When Bill says those words, my panties melted! Nathan Barr’s music building up to a crescendo and then Bill smells Sookie’s hair and then Sookie grabs Bill by his neck and kiss! That was an extremely sexy and sensual scene as it showed Sookie had the hots for Bill and it was the first instance from Bill that he knew he had feelings for Sookie! Then Bill’s fangs came out and he felt embarrassed or ashamed for his fangs, and suggests that he take Sookie back home. This is the beginning of their romance and hurdles to come!

This scene will show my friends that Bill is trying to mainstream and make a good impression to not only Sookie, but her family and friends. He could have easily have bit her, but he was a gentleman and a Vampire in the throws of love!
