True Blood Returns!



Season 2 is coming up this month! and the big question is...

Is Lafayette dead?!?

Stephen Moyer ( Bill Compton ) told this to E News..

"We just chatted up True Blood star Stephen Moyer and asked him about the future of Nelsan Ellis' brilliant Lafayette, and Moyer said, "Lafayette, I can't talk about. Nelsan is an amazing dude, and, uh, I hope he does come back...but I, you know...who knows."

There's no decisive statement in there, but "I hope he does come back" seems to suggest that Lafayette's gone somewhere, and for that matter, Nelsan's Lafayette also does not appear in any of the season two promo photos, the press releases or the books after Dead Until Dark. Long story short, we're starting to feel pretty naive for having believed/hoped the show was just toying with us and would find a way to keep Lafayette around for season two and beyond.

We are going to need a lot of naked vampires to make up for this disaster."


Lafayette was a great character, but who knows maybe theres something bigger in store.. I haven't read the books, but it could give some insight.. or I could just wait and just be a fan of the show.. Jayne and I have been wanting to buy the entire series, its going for a pretty good rate at borders..

We watched the Pilot Episode for the upcoming CW show The Vampire Diaries.. and I'll have to post a blog on my thoughts for that show.. but with the slew of Vampire shows/movies/books.. True Blood still holds ground. If you havent watched it.. I suggest you get on it.. its well worth it..
