True Blood has returned to the screens courtesy of cable HBO TV. Season 2 began showing on 14th June and has pulled in the biggest number of viewers since the finale of the Sopranos showed about 2 years ago " some 3.7 million.
As is what appears to be the norm, the first part of Season 2 begins with a murder, the body being found in the local detectives car. Interesting start! There are a few hot and steamy scenes too, just to add a bit more oomph to the proceedings, as if there was not enough already.
On first viewing of Season 1, I was gripped by the fact that it was unlike any other vampire-type movie or serial I had seen before. The characters, albeit different in their needs to humans, are actually very much possessed by human emotions.
The vampires are given more of a human feel to them, which is actually very appealing and a nice break from the past where the vampire would be hidden away from human eyes. Not anymore.
Getting back to the murder for now though. The victim has been found in the local detectives car with their heart ripped from their body. How gruesome is that? Who ever is to have committed this act is far from sane!
Sookie Stackhouse, the main protagonist, finds out about her former lovers child. In fact, she is not Bills child but he has been forced to bring her up as his own because he killed another vampire in defence of Sookie. Furthermore, she learns about her uncles passing and that he has left her an inheritance. This particular uncle though was known to be a paedophile, so she is far from comfortable in accepting the inheritance.
Sookies brother Jason Stackhouse, meanwhile is getting himself more deeply involved with religion. This may not be so unusual but for the fact that up until recently he was a blood drinking womanizer with no real focus on life but to have fun and care less. Sookie though, is not happy with this and prefers the old Jason to the current one.
Besides all of this there are a number of twists and turns in the story of True Blood Season 2, but at the same time there a number of questions that are currently left unanswered:
1. Who is this woman who goes by the name of MaryAnn and why is she hanging around small town Bon Temps asking questions?
2. What is it that petrifies Sam Merlotte about this MaryAnn " he is hiding something from his past, thats for sure.
3. Eric Northman has Lafayette held as a prisoner. Will Lafayette come out of this situation unscathed?
4. Will Lafayette escape the confines of Eric Northman and will he escape intact and unhurt?
5. Will Jason Stackhouse see the light before its too late or will he go deeper and deeper into religion?
So many things to think about and so many questions to be answered. Its best to book the television for Sunday evenings and make sure you can hook up to HBO TV too, otherwise you could be missing out. If thats not possible, do not fret. The True Blood Season 2 DVD will be out hopefully fairly soon. Ill be keeping you posted on that one and thats a promise!
