#TRUE BLOOD SEASON 4 CAST SERIES#

While they've been through a lot, Sookie and Bill are a long way from burying their considerable troubles. Last season, Sookie learned why she's telepathic and why her blood is irresistible to vampires - she's part fairy. That would be the on-again-off-again relationship between telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer). Still, the great aching heart of the show remains fixed. From a storytelling standpoint, 'True Blood' constantly is seeking fresh blood. So, the ongoing strength of Ball's funny and frightening paranormal program is that, each season, the characters seem to be playing this high-stakes game (and I do mean stakes) at a different level. You can't quite go back to being the person or the vampire you were. That's because writers and actors respect the notion that life-altering events just might alter someone's perspective. And yet, through it all, 'True Blood' always remains true to itself. The themes also change, giving each season its own feel, its own mood, its own dynamic. They're frequently as surprised and perplexed by these revelations as we are. They grow in richness and depth, and we learn more about them as, season to season, they learn more about themselves. Like his shape-shifters, Ball embraces change - all of its challenges and all of its rewards. With 'True Blood,' you never get that feeling of continually making the same trip around the ol' haunted barn.Ĭhange is the operative word. They're the new power players in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, and they're here to set a spell (and cast a spell).īut it's writer-executive producer Alan Ball ('Six Feet Under') who emerges as the master enchanter, keeping fans enthralled as he digs metaphorically deeper and deeper into this fascinating graveyard territory. It's a complex world with its intriguing mix of vampires, humans, half-humans, werewolves, shape-shifters, fairies and, look out, here come the witches. Sunday, and, right off the bat, it sucks you back into this wonderfully spooky world where no one is quite what he or she seems.
