""Joe recently called True Blood "golden handcuffs", in that he can't film some projects he would really love to because of either currently filming the show or needing to have Alcide's look. ""

Poor Guy, raking in all that money and fame for growling. Hasnt he ever heard of a wig?

All right, Erik, Phyll, how about this for the spin-off:

Pam, Tara, Jess, Lafayette, Ginger. The show will be called "5Girls5."

[Wynbish]

Where is Ginger?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 8/6/13 at 10:20am

Pam, Tara, Jess, Lafayette, Ginger. The show will be called "5Girls5."

I WOULD WATCH THIS ALL THE TIME

And if it was set in an alternate timeline where Nan Flanagan was still alive, then I would never ask for anything again in this life.

I would be all about 5Girls5. And I agree with Phyllis...bring Nan back!

[Wynbish]

Did Nan turn Steve Newlin? He got in the ranks of The Authority pretty quickly for a relatively new vampire.

I wouldn't mind if they brought Benedict "Eggs" Talley back either.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 8/6/13 at 1:48pm

If Nan can live, Eggs can, too. Let's bring Gran back as well!

Wynbish, Steve never said who is maker was (I don't think). I seem to remember it being a strange woman that he didn't know. Presumably if it had been Nan he would have recognized her?

Here's how Michael McMillan, the actor who plays Steve ansers the question of who made him:

"I’ve been really on the fence as to how I should answer this question. I’m a big believer in not spoiling anything, but on the other hand, it’s a question I’ve been getting a lot. I think viewers need to not hold their breath. This season really becomes about different stuff, so fans might need to wait a while until that’s revealed. … I’ve been told who it is, but it might be a while before viewers find out."

Like the whole world is on pins and needles for that big reveal. Not that I can speak for lovepuppy.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Well, I appreciate that he doesn't want to spoil anything because I don't like spoilers!

Has anyone watched the cast's most recent appearance at Comic-Con. It's on youtube if you're so inclined. Nothing really earth shattering, though the new showrunner talked about wanting to bring the show back to its roots (something like that) in the next season, the implication that it's all gotten a little unwieldy. He did say he'd like to have the entire cast involved in one plot instead of so many separate ones. I feel like I may have read that somewhere in this thread already, so my apologies if it was something Wynbish already posted.

I actually re-watched part of the panel last night. I have to take it in doses, though, because of the too-awkward host. Pretty sure she never announced Ryan Kwanten.

It wasn't that spoilery of a panel, with some questions being "Does Steve Newlin still have a thing for Jason?" and "How would Lafayette work that scarf?" Updated On: 8/6/13 at 02:06 PM

Posted: 8/6/13 at 2:11pm

At first I thought it started with a crazy spoiler because she introduced "Ben/Warlow" but then I realized the season has already been on a while when they did the panel. And you're right, the host did not introduce Ryan Kwanten.

[Wynbish]

Posted: 8/6/13 at 2:23pm

I remember their Comic Con last year, when Christopher Meloni was so much a part of the panel and interviews, not giving away at all that Roman died in the episode just one day after. The cast is good about not giving anything away, even to an annoying "Watch and find out, I guess" fault.

Steve's maker is Russell Edgington. I was watching some kind of flashback/recap thing from a few seasons ago (don't ask me why. I was searching for something else and it popped up so I watched it). If you find it, you'll see several times in that season when Russell is defeated (but not quite the scene at the Faerie club when he dies), where they make it a point to put the camera on Steve, looking very upset about it. They had previously enjoyed a bit of a bro-mance, on benders eating fraternity boys, and such.

Either way, I'm not on pins and needles about that reveal because this season, indeed, is about "different stuff." More Warlow, please. Even though I think he's gonna die soon. And/or Sarah Newlin, seeing as she's emerged as the season's Big Bad.

More Lafayette, too. It is kind of a bummer that he's on short-order cook duty in the Bellefleur house during the death aftermath, but that "witch" season with Jesus was a bit extreme where he's concerned.

Btw--with Sam, Lafayette, Sookie, Arlene, and Terry either dead or dealing with dead things...who's running Merlotte's?? :)

Despite your snark, Namo, I was going to say I agree with you about the low growl on Alcide. To be fair, they've done the SFX with Sam at times when he shifts and then talks, and with several vampires, including Bill, Eric, and Warlow. It mostly gets added to their speech when they're pissed (perhaps obviously).

No.

Steve told Jason that it was a woman who took off and left him on his own. My guess is that it's Pam. About that same time she'd talked about having made someone. We never find out who. Pam seems the type who would take off on Steve. Didn't she act the same way when she made Tara?

Not to mention Steve Newlin was turned when Russell was buried under the garage.

artscallion, there's a video I'll try to dig up of Kristen Bauer as Pam talking about the first vampire she made. It was years ago and his name was Colin.

>>Steve told Jason that it was a woman who took off and left him on his own.

Hm. Don't remember seeing that. And it's not like Steve's never lied to anyone before... Or Pam, for that matter...

[artscallion]

Posted: 8/6/13 at 9:33pm

It says that video is uploaded from the season 2 blueray, Phyllis. What else am I missing out on?!

Lovepuppy, Steve tells Jason that during his first scene back as a vamp. The scene in Jason's house where Steve glamors him and tries to seduce him.

Some of the earlier season blu rays have some fun special features, artscallion.

Unrelated...

"We're going back to the core," Ellis said. "I think this season set the stage to get back to the core." Which can only mean more Lafayette, right? "Next season," Ellis promised.

Please more Lala next season. I miss his interactions with Eric and Pam back in the day. When was the last time he had a single scene with Eric or Pam? The start of Season 5 for Pam and earlier for Eric?

I watched the scene again where Warlow said he was born in 3532 B.C., so he is 5545 years old. Still not 6000, but more than 5100. Rob Kazinsky trained a little to be a stunt person, so I hope Warlow gets to fight some soon. Updated On: 8/7/13 at 08:24 PM

Posted: 8/7/13 at 8:26pm

Yeah, Lafayette has been relagated the shifter-enabler, were-battler, and Whoopi from Ghost. I can't remember the last time he had a scene with Tara, either.

[Wynbish]

Posted: 8/7/13 at 8:29pm

Back when Pam turned her, I guess.

That's the main thing I want to come back, though, a better unity between characters. Interaction between storyline groups.

When you're bragging about how lonnnnnng you've been waiting for or stalking somebody, you might have a tendency to round up to 6000. Which must frustrate the people who watch each episode waiting for a math assignment!
