The story of True Blood is so smartly creative, it is fun and addicting...I was very surprised when I started watching it, the cast is great and the pace of the show is awsome, it never ceases to get me everytime. Even though it's a very fantastical show we can't help but care about these characters that are all of a sudden caught in this haziness of hell and also think it's as fucked up 😂
Loved Alex's little smile and wave to the fans! Thought Michelle's and Nelsan's responses to their questions were hilarious. The whole cast seems great together and they all have such a terrific sense of humor. I soooo need to go next year! I agree, stupid last question! However, Alex was gracious in answering as always :) Thank you so much for posting these! We are so grateful(although jealous we weren't there) LOL
Thanks for posting this, it was nice to watch one with a steady hand that didn't just zoom in on Alexander Skarsgard all the time (not that I don't like him...!). I agree, the questions should have been more even; I would've liked to have heard more from Sam and Tara and Sookie... Still, a great panel!
She may have aimed for an all-adult audience, but I can tell you honestly that there are SOOOO many teenagers that watch this show (myself included) and read the books. And uh .. TRUEBLOOD IS BETTER THAN TWILIGHT!!
exactly! twilight is twilight and sookie stackhouse series its all its own granted i like the stackhouse series much more since its more real and mature, but i really dont like how people are comparing the two, you cant compare them. There to different. to me Twilight is for teenagers (girls mostly) and True blood is for adults.
I really hate not being able to see the two main actors - Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Why did you keep to the opposite side all the time? I love them.
It was a weird last question, but maybe the episodes with Godric didn't air yet in whatever location that person was from. Some of the audience is international.
OH MY GOD ALEXANDER'S LITTLE WAVE AT 1:09 to someone in the crowd is sooo funny! I know everyone here is going on and on about how hot he is (and he is) but for some odd reason I look at Alexander like an older brother I'd wish I'd had. He just seems like such a down to earth, pleasant, humble fellow
I think it makes sense that most questions were for Alan and Charlaine as they are the creators so to speak. They are the ones with the answers. Some of the questions were for spoilers that the actors couldn't answer, so they looked at Alan Ball. I don't think Alex got that many more questions than anyone else. And the questions had to do with the evolution of his character, who WAS changing a lot in S2 & with Eric's relationships with other characters on the show. All panelists had questions.
yeah,there are hardly any laffyette questions,hes by far the most interesting non supernatural character on the show,more so than even sookie in my opinion
hahahaha, you remind me of Sophia from the Golden Girls, when Rose tells one of her stupid stories, at the end of them she sometimes say 'I hate you' lol
I was there too and I freakin ran, err walked really fast, towards the front to see Alex up close. Unfortunately I didn't get his autograph! :( But at least I managed to snap some close up pics and I got to see his hot self up close!!! :D
thats a really good question....i think it may have something to do with how the blood is taken. and actually the reactions are a lot alike. both Jason and Amy got turned on as did sookie when she first drank from bill. But both also experienced heighten senses and i think there were some other things. Sookies also become used to drinking the stuff, i guess?
The question was "what attracted you to True Blood? What approached you to this role?" "When someone offers you an entrance where your standing in the middle of the road naked with a pig.... you dont say no."
I think Allan explained once that V affects different people in a different way (like allucinations, or healing, or more libido..). Plus, there is the fact that Sookie drunk directly from them, but with V users, it's not as fresh?
Odds are, if the show keeps going strong, they will have a panel every year that its on. Obviously, who will be on the panel will vary but how many actors could say no to such fan adulation. They had a really big panel this year, which is cool but you kinda feel bad for the ones who don't get asked many questions like Sam Trammell and Rutina Wesley. Anyway, I really hope I can make it to Comic Con one of these years, It looks nerdgasmic.
question for Lafayette: how psyched are you that you didn't get kill off in eps. 1 of this season? I wonder what he would say, i love Lafayette, but i'm curious
i dont know about anyone else but if there is a love triangle thing like there might be with sookie/bill/eric.....i ALWAYS, in the end, fall for the "other' guy =P in this case, eric
can someone help me out with a question about true blood please? i was hoping it would be cleared up in the comicon. i was wondering how come when sookie drinks blood from bill and eric she just becomes drawn and sexually attracted to both of them and bill explains thats normal. but how come that does'nt happen to the v users? for example when amy and jason held that vamp captive and were drinking his blood they just got really high all the time.
later in the series eric becomes VERY important, and the geeks in the audience (like myself) know that. But yeah too much attention to eric in this interview.
I dont know... when asked about inspiration how could the author not give any thanks to Anne Rice? She got so much from her books... Rice set the standards for vampires and she doesn't even give her credit? C'mon.
@MsAKSfan Oh, I'm with you. Alex is way better. His character is also better than Bill. If anybody has read the books, they would know that Bill only went to Bon Temps to find Sookie because the Queen of Louisiana told him to. He wasn't really interested in Sookie. When Eric finds this out, he makes Bill tell her the truth, because he cares about her enough to want her to know the truth. It's lovely.
If that's the black girl I'm not suprised because her character is boring her story line is boring and she takes a TON of time away from more interesting characters and time lines. That's not her fault though that's the writers and stuff.

I think it's precious how Deborah Ann Woll scoops up her name tent and her bottle of TruBlood. Keepsakes! ^_^
Agreed! He is totally laid back, hilarious and a creative genius!
My favourite is Sam... such a ralatable character, even though all of them are totally connected and couldn't get rid of anyone of them.
That's a horrible last question!
Thanks so much for uploading this.
Allen is GREAT!!! Love him and his little comments/jokes
Loved Alex's little smile and wave to the fans! Thought Michelle's and Nelsan's responses to their questions were hilarious. The whole cast seems great together and they all have such a terrific sense of humor. I soooo need to go next year! I agree, stupid last question!

thanx 4 posting I got sum of my questions answered
I never released how pretty forbes is until now, she has this naturally powerful gaze.
She really is. I wish more questions had been asked of her, because she's really intelligent, and she had a really interesting character.
thanks magic for uploading these!

1:09 look at Alexander. His little wave xD
Thanks for uploading this! Would've loved to have gone to comic-con to see them.
I wish they would have asked Rutina a question.
great question :] I was hoping for more of those.
awesome answer
I love true blood =3 the show is just so damn awesome! XD

Ugh ya. Love u Alex!

they should make a panel with Allan and Alex lol! I feel bad for the others
thanks!
I really hate not being able to see the two main actors - Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Why did you keep to the opposite side all the time? I love them.
they probably will.i want to see it live too! since they done it last year and this year i'm sure they will do the panel next year too.
I wanted to know how Nelsan Ellis prepares for his role. Best character in the show.
finally lafayet talked!!!
he is amazing!!
the same goes to anna stephen tara and sam!!
lol, i love her.

1:08
Gosh I wish that was me he waved at lol

True Blood Rocks x
@wellduhitsvannah Lafayette's actors name is Nelsan Ellis. :]
thats a really good question....i think it may have something to do with how the blood is taken. and actually the reactions are a lot alike. both Jason and Amy got turned on as did sookie when she first drank from bill.

The question was "what attracted you to True Blood? What approached you to this role?"
"When someone offers you an entrance where your standing in the middle of the road naked with a pig.... you dont say no."
wow. mostly all of the questions were for alan, charlaine, and alex.
anyways i love this show.
alexander is killing me with his eyes.
@angervana Nothing will ever top Buffy. I have all of the dvds and I'm actually rewatching the whole series right now.
Haha if you put summer next to Alex(love him!) look at the difference!LOL!!!!!!
I think Allan explained once that V affects different people in a different way (like allucinations, or healing, or more libido..). Plus, there is the fact that Sookie drunk directly from them, but with V users, it's not as fresh?
she prob didnt see the episode..who knows..ppl get star struick when they see they fave actors
I luv alexander skarsgard he is soooo hot & funny!!!!!! i bloody luv him!!!!! xxxxx

Lmao i was thinking the same thing.
ahhh nerdgasmic
best word ever haha
What was Nelsan's answer to the question about the most fun on set? I didn't catch anything other than naked dancing group, hehe... :)
I wanted more Sam questions
Anything he does is cute ;D
@laramvn he's killing everyone with his eyes, men, women, fossills.... XD
@roswellxlover I know! mini heart attack. The person who he waved must have died lol!
I miss BTVS, thank goodness for true blood! (and Eric
lol @ Michelle Forbes.
@charmedgirl999 Godric dies in the books the same time and way as in the programme (: I think they just wanted their favourite charactors to answer?
@angervana Ooow right....... thanks ;D
well really neither did ana, stephen or deborah. the problem is with a huge cast, people tend to focus on their favorites.
btw your name is awesome
yeah i was wondering about that. shouldn't fangs be the canines? but yeah i think it makes it easier for them to talk
Mmkay, I watched the whole thing. And all I have to say is.. Where's Ryan? :(
give her a break, it was her birthday! :D
what was the last question to Alex about Godric? couldn't understand what she asked, please
@lollipopz8988 I'm doing the same but on Netflix! I wanna get all the seasons, it's a MUST! did you watch season 9?
question for Lafayette: how psyched are you that you didn't get kill off in eps. 1 of this season? I wonder what he would say, i love Lafayette, but i'm curious
about the funny take. Nelsan was saying that there was a funny take where a dancing 300lbs naked dude fell.
I feel sorry for the guy that plays Sam, getting no real chance to talk. I identify with his char because he always gets the short straw! =P
i dont know about anyone else but if there is a love triangle thing like there might be with sookie/bill/eric.....i ALWAYS, in the end, fall for the "other' guy =P
in this case, eric
too many fangirls wanting to hear one word answers from alex....
I thought they were ging to show a trailer of the half of season 2..didnt they say that at the beggining? did you cut that part of the video out?
where the hell was jason?!
Really enjoyed this but, wow, worst last question ever!!
or jason
@wellduhitsvannah lol. S'all good. :]
can someone help me out with a question about true blood please? i was hoping it would be cleared up in the comicon. i was wondering how come when sookie drinks blood from bill and eric she just becomes drawn and sexually attracted to both of them and bill explains thats normal. but how come that does'nt happen to the v users? for example when amy and jason held that vamp captive and were drinking his blood they just got really high all the time.
What is the question at 6.43? Cant hear it.
@angervana What's BTVS?? pliz...
@stormjean Buffy the Vampire Slayer :D
i hate how every1 is going on about alex...wat about stephen !! i think stephen moyer is MUCH better looking
later in the series eric becomes VERY important, and the geeks in the audience (like myself) know that. But yeah too much attention to eric in this interview.
I dont know... when asked about inspiration how could the author not give any thanks to Anne Rice? She got so much from her books... Rice set the standards for vampires and she doesn't even give her credit? C'mon.
Aww no one asked Sam or Rutina :(
now tht u mention it, so do i! ts infuriating.
@MsAKSfan Oh, I'm with you. Alex is way better. His character is also better than Bill. If anybody has read the books, they would know that Bill only went to Bon Temps to find Sookie because the Queen of Louisiana told him to. He wasn't really interested in Sookie. When Eric finds this out, he makes Bill tell her the truth, because he cares about her enough to want her to know the truth. It's lovely.
what a terrible last question! godrick fucking died.....
Yeahh. How has TB affected your career?... Seriously?? Lol.
If that's the black girl I'm not suprised because her character is boring her story line is boring and she takes a TON of time away from more interesting characters and time lines. That's not her fault though that's the writers and stuff.
yeah what a waste
