True Blood fans: Why was Sam running naked?

[jazzandmetal?]

My girlfriend thinks he is some sort of shape shifter. What do you guys think? Have something to do with his creepy dog?

[agentcooper2001]

i was wondering the same thing last night.

[Bergle]

He's a werewolf, guys.
Barks in his sleep, the shot of the painting of the dog and the girl in his office in episode 1 or 2. We saw a near-full moon last episode and someone mentioned in the background that there was a 'full moon tonight' on last night's.
I've been waiting for some full-on Werewolf Sam vs. Vampire action. I guess this is the one storyline they're going to actually make us wait for a little while.
I think he can communicate with dogs most of the time, and then actually shifts under a full moon. I also think the other guys who work at the bar are Werewolves too. They're all kinda 'scruffy' as my fiance would say.

[mude]

Yup on the werewolf thing I think (although like the vampires on not what we traditionally might think of as vampires, there are likely to be some twists on the werewolf type of thing I would guess). You may recall he was also rolling around smelling the sheets where the body was found. Some sort of weird smelling thing if not a wereworf thing.

Evan.

Forgot about that one. Also, you notice how he's latched onto Tara so quickly? The last episode when they hooked up again he was about to walk on her and she said 'Stay!' almost like a command. They inserted a weird little flash on screen there. I'm curious as to how the Werewolves will differ from legend. Is someone going to develop some kind of fake synthetic 'werewolf food'?

[AnthonyL]

Thinking the same thing... Love the show!

[Jason Carter]

The writing has gotten better the last few episodes. The first two were kind of rough. The best part about last nights show was the addition of "Amy" Stackhouses new love interest.

[FlyingDutchman]

Is this a new TV show? Havent seen it yet.. Sounds interesting though..

+1! I wanna see more of that Amy!

Of course, they showed quite a bit of her already, but I can take a little more. :)

[cnardone]

Doh!!!! I am such a putz. I've notice the dog, and the sheets smelling, and that Sookie can't read his thoughts, and that he is not from around there, and no one knows anything about his past and he won't talk about it. So I've known there is a whole different side to him but I never connected it to werewolf. I am a schmutz.

A friend of mine works on that show as the assistant to the DP. He said that the first 3 episodes were shot during the writers strike last year and were largely improvised, hence the reason they weren't that tight.

There's gotta be something up though, if even Sookie doesn't know his whole story.
Between this and Tara maybe having a 'demon', I'm starting to wonder if anyone on the friggin show is human at all. Not that a crazy Vampire/Werewolf/Demon/Mindreader war wouldn't be extraordiary television...

[Jason Carter]

I want to know what happened to the female vampire that converted Bill during the civil war days. Hopefully they will revisit that chapter in his life down the line.

On HBO, Sunday nights

[amigo30]

He is clearly a wolfman.

Ever notice that he's not in the same shots as the cute dog?

He barks in his sleep?

Sookie can't read his thoughts? (She says it's different than other people.)

He rolled all over the hot chick waitresses bed smelling the sheets after she was killed?

Running through the woods naked?

He's a wolfman alright. He's got all the classic symptoms.

In the last episode, Tera walks by the dog to get to the trailer where Sam is inside. That is the kind of thing that confuses me. At first My GF thought he WAS the dog. But how would he get inside so fast?

I thought he was the dog, also. That was why the dog was so protective of Sookie. I didn't notice that she walked past the dog to get into his trailer..I must have missed that. He was pretty damn grumpy when she got in there though, about her showing up unexpectedly.

My girlfriend and I both thought he was the dog but he is shown in the same shot as the dog a few episodes ago.

My DVR gets a workout on sunday nights with Trueblood and dexter on at the same time and entourage and Californication on right after them

[agentcooper2001]

yeah, almost everything i watch comes on sunday nights: mad men, dexter, true blood, entourage and californication.

[mude]

How does someone actually turn into a vampire on True Blood? It is not just a bite obviously.

[DaveF]

In the first episode, when the mindreader chick was fighting off the goons from draining the vampires blood ... who was the woman standing in the trees? Looked like it must have been some kind of witch magic thing since when the mindreader swung the chain again it wrapped tightly around the guys neck.

[devilrob1979]

The writing has gotten better the last few episodes. The first two were kind of rough. The best part about last nights show was the addition of "Amy" Stackhouses new love interest.

Amy had great... tracts of land. I was glad to see the trashy vamps die but I'm thinking Bill wasn't one of 'em. My guess is it was Eric which would put Bill in a position of power. Just my random guess.

[devilrob1979]

Apparently based on Bill's transformation episode you have to be drained to near death by a vampire and then replenished by that vampire's blood.

[NewarkWilder]

love this show. i hadn't put it together but sam as some kind of werewolf definitely makes sense.

and oh my yes--jason's new girl is awesome. I thought it was Zooey Deschanel at first, that would have been awesome but we probably wouldn't have seen so much of her :drool

[agentcooper2001]

i don't think they'll kill eric off just yet.

[cnardone]

Sookie CAN read his thoughts. At least she could in the first couple of episodes.

Edit* AnthonyL beat me to it.

I should have been more clear. On their date, he mentions that it is ok to read his mind. She answers that she has tried but he is different Other people she can pick out words and or pictures. With him It was more like waves. I don't remember the specific term. But he is definitely different. I wonder if her ability to read his mind (like in the office when he and tara are yelling at her) was a casualty of the writers strike.

You would think with post production that could have been fixed.

It's Lizzy Caplan from Mean Girls and The Class

[Go Cat Go!!]

In the last episode, Tera walks by the dog to get to the trailer where Sam is inside. That is the kind of thing that confuses me. At first My GF thought he WAS the dog. But how would he get inside so fast?

He's not the dog. He was seen in one episode whittling away on some wood talking to the dog wishing that Blade or Buffy would come down and kill the vampires. Then he rubs the dogs ears and plays fetch with him. Sookie can read his thoughts but says they are all cloudy.

I just hope HBO doesn't ruin this show like it did the Sopranos with plot lines that go nowhere. Whatever were the consequences with the Russian Paulie and Christopher thought they had left in the woods.

[jammybastard]

It's Lizzy Caplan from Mean Girls and The Class

yes, her.
what a pair.
:bow
My wife thought they were fake, I didn't and didn't care either way.

[pir8matt]

yes, her.
what a pair.
:bow
My wife thought they were fake, I didn't and didn't care either way.

Ah, she was in CLOVERFIELD, too. I knew I had seen her somewhere more recently.

I hope she stays on for awhile. From the teasers, it looks like she's gonna enlist Stackhouse in obtaining more "V", sort of like those 'drainers' that got wiped out by that 'hurricane' at the beginning of the series.

[jazzandmetal?]

Weird things I have noticed after rewatching episode 1-4

Episode 1:
During the fight at the end, the chain tightens itself around macs neck.
The dog comes up and licks Sookie and barks at Bill.
Sam runs out right after Sookie but curiously only stands in the parking lot.
Bill asks about the dog and says it is looking over her and she says that the dog just hangs around the bar...even though she must know it is Sams and he lives right next to the bar.
Sookie reads Sams thoughts in his office and he thinks that she smells nice. Also, in the same scene he knew that Mac had a knife even though he wasn't there.

Episode 2:
Dog appears when Sookie is getting beat down. Sam curiously doesn't even though the fight is loud and it is in an empty parking lot in front of his house.
Bill admits some shape shifting vampires exist.
Dog appears when Sookie and Bill go on walk.
In the office Sam asks Sookie if she can hear him and she says she doesn't want to.
Right in the office there is an old painting of a dog standing/sitting over a young blonde haired girl.

Episode 3:
She seems to read Malcolms ( the older gay vamp ) mind. I can't tell because the scene is pretty chaotic.
Sam and Tera hook up and he tells her that she smells good.
Tera hears Sam making dog noises in his sleep.
Dog appears when Sookie is mowing the lawn right after the scene where Sam wakes up.
The dog goes up to Sam on his porch and Sam says "what's up my brother" and then they play fetch.
There is a lot of mention about a starbucks coming to town in this episode.

If you watch the bloodcopy special on this show that was on HBO they make a big deal about hidden messages in ads.

Episode 4:
Sam happens to have the key to Dawns apartment in his pocket when he goes to see Sookie at the murder scene....yes, he was the land lord but that is odd.
Sam stares at picture of him and Dawn before putting the rubber gloves in his pocket and goes to her house to smell the sheets.
Bill Keeps the cops gun after they go to the vampire bar. I bet it makes an appearance later.

Anyone catch the painting behind the bar at the vamp bar? Funny.:D

Makes sense. Everyones personality on the show changes a bunch from the first three to the new ones. They just seem to talk differently. Watch the last episode and the first episode and you will see what I am talking about.

There was some woman standing in the bushe's watching the fight. I suspect she was behind that.

Yeah, lots more of the 'new girl' :-)

Though shes starting to show her true colors now - shes a drainer!

thats about all she had left to show!!!

[Mr_Bluesmann]

I am hooked on this show. I agree about the werewolf theory. Who do you think is killer is?

[Tripower455]

I think it's Sam, but that may be too obvious.......

[jazzandmetal?]

WTF!?!?!


I swear, the dog and Sam are in the SAME damn scene. *Edit* in episode 3.

This is getting good.

[Mr_Bluesmann]

It's going to be a long week until next Sunday.

[amigo30]

I think the question was pretty well answered tonight with the previews of next weeks show..

[pir8matt]

WTF!?!?!


I swear, the dog and Sam are in the SAME damn scene. *Edit* in episode 3.

Maybe Sam can take on the form of other animals, which would explain how he's been in shots with the dog before.

I agree though, the show is really starting to get interesting now!

[Tripower455]

I rewatched episode 3 and Sam is definitely playing with the dog. Now, the question is whether it's the same dog........ It certainly looks the same....

[DaveF]

I think it's safe to assume he can do more than turn into a dog. Otherwise he wouldn't be much for protection.

[pir8matt]

I think it's safe to assume he can do more than turn into a dog. Otherwise he wouldn't be much for protection.

I just meant that he might be able to shapeshift, chameleon-style, which would explain why he looks exactly like the dog he's been seen together with in other scenes.

[Bergle]

I just meant that he might be able to shapeshift, chameleon-style, which would explain why he looks exactly like the dog he's been seen together with in other scenes.

Not a crazy line of thinking, that...

I've gotta recuse myself from this thread, as my fiance managed to read the first three books in less than a week and I've now heard more about potential storylines then I may have wanted to. Though they are changing a lot of stuff for the show, it seems. Tara, for example, is a much different character in the novels, and doesn't even show up until the second or third.
This is turning into a great show. I loved Jason and the vampire becoming buddies last night. The stuff with Sam was great too. They're really setting a pace as far as big 'reveals' and events. I don't know how many seasons you can keep that up, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.

[jazzandmetal?]

Next sunday cannot come soon enough.

[seabass]

My question exactly , who is killing everyone and the cats too. Could be Tara, she has an $800 demon in her

[Smakutus]

I thought that too but I hope that's not the answer. I hope it's someone that we haven't met yet. I keep thinking that maybe it's the she-vamp that turned Bill into a vampire but Bill even said that there was no way a vampire could resist all of that blood.

It'll be interesting when Bill runs into her again..

Jeff

[jazzandmetal?]

So.....now it is certain that Sam is a shape shifter, who is the killer?

Who did Tara almost run over on the street?

[agentcooper2001]

i was wondering who the woman on the street was too.

[mr tom]

I never watched before but tuned in tonight: The band onscreen included Nick Curran and C.C. Adcock. Righteous!

[mude]

Looked like he was playing a Trussart with a Bigsby in one of the scenes by the way. Kind of fun to see.

Evan.

[Smakutus]

i was wondering who the woman on the street was too.

That was Michelle Forbes..

Jeff

[pir8matt]

I thought it was really funny how they just answered all the questions that people have hypothesized about Sam right in a row:

"I'm a shapeshifter"

"I wasn't that dog, I need a dog to imprint from" or whatever he said.

It was like the writers just said "Ok, let's address all the guesses and inconsistencies and then get on with it".

Good stuff.

So now Bill has been forced to turn his first human, Jason has witnessed the murder of a vampire, and both figuratively and literally has vampire blood on his hands and will be the target of retribution, no doubt.

Things are getting interesting!

I guess the chick at the end is another shapeshifter? Possible love interest for Sam? Or was she a werewolf? She was with some animal but I didn't make out what it was.

[jazzandmetal?]

That was Michelle Forbes..

Jeff

Umm....what was she doing? Not the actresses name.:cool:

I hope she IS a werewolf!

[DaveF]

I'm wondering if it's the same woman who was standing in the woods when Sookie was beating down those drainers in the first or second episode. It's not the same chick that was in those flash-back scenes when Bill was talking about being turned. So that rules that out.

That's what I thought. Plus the chick in the woods seemed to be the reason the chain seemed to fly out of her hand and around the guys neck on its own.

[PUCKBOY99]

I just stumbled onto this show last night...I'll have to hit it up on HBO On Demand

Man, Anna Paquin grew up nice....but that accent sure is annoying ! ;)

[DaveF]

Here's what she hit in the road after the party

A nudie girl and a bigass pig?

[DaveF]

Looks to me like you nailed it. Tara didn't hit that though...she hit the fence.

Yep.
I'm trying to find the screenshot I captured from the other episode, but the woman is the same one that was standing in the bushes when sookie fought the people off from draining bill.

[jazzandmetal?]

looks like they're not the same ... but, they did change out at least one character from the 1st episode to the others.

[jazzandmetal?]

You are my hero. I seriously couldn't see her. Even after watching it 3 separate times.



My eyes are terrible.:messedup

I bet the first chick is a witch. Not sure about the second. I am hoping she is a werewolf and tears Amys head off.

[DaveF]

I bet the first chick is a witch.

Must be something like that. The closeup of the eyes ... she squinted her eyes a bit then it cut to the chain being thrown and wrapping around the guys neck. Then she ran off.

Why can't I see her?

I am not crazy after all. That scene is different in the pilot episode and woman in the bushes was removed from the airing on HBO when the season premiered.

Ahh, so that explains it. I honestly couldnt remember seeing any woman in the bushes either. Looks like they did a little active retooling. I wondered about that, because it made it look like Sookie had some extra kind of superpowers or something. There's actually another scene like that as well, where she appears to have some kind of super-strength, but I can't remember which ep it was in right now.

[jazzandmetal?]

Well, Rene is the killer. Who woulda thunk it. Sucks there is only one episode left.


Glad Amy got killed though. She was a douchebag. A cute douchebag....but a douchebag.

[59Vampire]

a douche bag with great tits :) but who is this maryanne/pig woman?

[Tripower455]

Well, Rene is the killer. Who woulda thunk it. Sucks there is only one episode left.

I'm not so sure..... They made it kinda obvious with the police fax, but never showed the killer's face when he killed Amy. I have to watch it again and listen more closely to the guy in the pie shop and the Bunkie cop....

Maenad perhaps?

[pir8matt]

Watch her performances. She kinda sucked. Hot? Sho 'nuff! The acting was even worse than the current Tara though.



How can you watch her performances? I thought she was in a pre-release pilot? The current tara has been in the series since ep 1, hasnt she?

[Tripower455]

I definitely like the current Tara better than the one in the pilot...... Although, she is kinda wussing out a little in the last few episodes!

[pir8matt]

You can watch them on YouTube. If you click on the you link posted earlier in this thread of the girl in the bushes, you'll see related vids of the pilot.

Oh, duh. Youtube, of course. What was I thinking?

[Glass Onion]

Didn't wade through the whole thread so if it has been said already sorry.

Go buy the BOOKS. Charlene Harris is the author. They differ fairly greatly fro some of the plot lines. the writing is far far far better than the show. I love the show but the books just blow it out of the water.:AOK

[atomicmassunit]

I'm from Bunkie, so it's pretty funny to see that. I think the pie shop was alluding to the famous Lea's pie shop outside bunkie.

I found this

I can't believe they have an infant/toddler t-shirt that says "Fangbanger". That's pretty messed up. :roll

I doubt that stuff is licensed. People sneak stuff onto cafepress all the time and put it into as many product categories as they can before they get a cease and desist or have CP pull it.

None of that stuff looks terribly accurate to the show.

Damn. Now the wait until summer starts.:puh

I just got the first 7 books so I`ll be doing a little reading.

So did bill kill the frycook?

Certainly looks that way. I thought for sure the Rene thing was a red herring, but then sure enough he was the killer.

I guess they aren't much for misdirection. If they have a dead body sitting in a car with painted toenails, it's likely gonna be the drag queen thats dead when next season starts.

Though I thought that Vampires could feed without killing the host or turning them?

[ClassicWhite]

I was surprised they made Rene so obvious from the previews too. Who/what is the lady Tara is staying with and what is her relationship to Sam?

Them making it so obvious made everyone think that much harder as to who else it could be.

I am going to be pissed if they killed off Lafayette. He was a good character.

As far as who is dead at the end may be a surprise. Remember 2 weeks have passed since Bill allegedly feed on Lafayette and the foot emerges from Detective Bellefleur's car. Lafayette would be pretty rank if he had been dead for 2 weeks. I suspect the Senator is involved in the Lafayette disappearance. I want to know what Bill did with Jessica after Eric and Pam dropped her off. This show has legs....summer is too long.

Jessica is doing a great job as an absolutely nutso/crazy vampire. It would scare the crap out of me knowing something like her was prowling around in the night.

Jessica is hot.

The novels have a kinky explanation as to why Lafayette was killed. The fangirls are hoping Allan Ball keeps that plot line intact (for the Eric fans out there).

i started reading the first book as well. the sex scenes dont translate as well in print as they do on screen.

[phillygtr]

Sometimes. There are a few good ones in the series.

My favorite book so far is the 2nd one -- Living Dead in Dallas. I think the plotting is very good and would make awesome episodes for TV. I liked certain parts of the other books better, but LDD is just a good read.
