The True Blood Season 2 Finale Promo

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, HBO, Video

We are now only three days away from the dramatic conclusion of True Blood.

Since I’m still trying to finish the first season, I’ve only watched this clip with the volume off. But it appears I have a lot to look forward to! (Sigh.)

The Season 2 finale airs this Sunday @ 9:00 on HBO.

HBO to Sell Tru Blood Drink

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, HBO

How do you like your synthetic blood? At a nice 98.6 degrees—or chilled on ice? Later this month, HBO will be shipping out bottles of Tru Blood, a soda version of the drink consumed by vampires on True Blood.

While the fake stuff on the program is created by Japanese inventors, the at-home version actually consists of blood…blood orange flavoring, that is. According to the product’s description, the beverage is “slightly tart, lightly sweet and subtly carbonated.” Several recipe suggestions are also provided including “The Fangbanger” and “Death on the Beach.”

The 14 oz. bottles can be pre-ordered before the September 28 availability date. Four-packs will be sold for $16 each. (That does not include shipping charges.)

Evan Rachel Wood Spills True Blood

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, HBO, Gossip, Spoilers

Across the Universe starlet Evan Rachel Wood is shaking things up over in Bon Temps on HBO’s hit series, True Blood (not that it needs any more shaking up), and she can’t wait to drop some hints!

While Wood is no stranger to television, there is no doubt that this will be her sexiest character yet. Of her 1,100 year-old Queen Sophie-Anne, Wood explains, “She’s not necessarily a lesbian. Her human partner is a girl, but I’m pretty sure she goes both ways [laughs]. I think vampires are like that in general.”

Though she didn’t divulge a name when asked about Bill and Eric, she confirms that she’ll be having a “steamy” scene with someone whom we wouldn’t expect.

Coming from someone who nabbed a guest starring role because she herself is a fan, Rachel couldn’t believe what was in store for the last two episodes…

• Great American Road Trip (NBC, 8pm):  New day. “The six remaining families hit the road, leaving the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and skirting through Missouri, where they land in Branson to perform skits before crooner Andy Williams and comic Yakov Smirnoff.” Apparently, the families also journey back several decades.
