True Blood Season 3 Spoilers: Alan Ball and the Writers Reveal

True-Blood-Season-FinaleAlan Ball, writers Raelle Tucker and Alexander Woo spoke with SciFiWire recently and revealed 12 major spoilers points for season 3 of True Blood.  So get ready True Blood fans for some major spoilers news. Remeber if you do not want to know DO NOT read any further. Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer): Alan confirmed that the storyline of Bill's kidnapping will last for"about six episodes." However we don't know if that means that it will be back-to-back from episodes 1-6 or will be spread out throughout the season.  This is one fans are definitely going to be talking about. Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell): As stated before, in season 3 Sam will be busy trying to find his family which Raelle Tucker will get to write their characters a lot in episode 2. She states that:
"I'm getting to write Sam's family, which is a lot of fun, and, really, I feel really satisfying as a character arc," she said. "I really am glad that he's taking this journey and he's learning about himself. I find that interesting. They aren't the brightest people, maybe. At least they appear that way. They're fairly dysfunctional, but like anybody else, they have their good things about them and not so good things. They're still getting to know each other. Sam's still getting to know them and so are we."
WerewolvesAlan states that the werewolves in season 3 are going to be just wolves.  They will be people who can transforms into wolves who will be bigger and stronger with their eyes glowing orange a little bit. Supernatural WorldAlexander Woo explains that season 3 is not only about the supernatural world of vampires, werewolves and shapshifters but he is also excited about the expanding world that will occur in the next season.
"The entire world is going to get a lot bigger," Woo said. "Not only the human world, but in Sookie's eyes, she's going to see the whole supernatural world. Luckily, since this show is through Sookie's eyes, as an audience we'll get to see a much larger supernatural world."
Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin):  Raelle states that Sookie's powers will expand in season 3 to not only include her telepathy but her expanding powers such as her glowing hands.  "I think that Sookie is conscious of her abilities more this season than she's been, and she's questioning them more," Tucker said. "We're going to be exploring that more this season." Vampire King of Mississippi (Denis O'Hare):  Alan states that the Vampire King of Mississippi in season three will be a contrast to Sophie-Anne, the Vampire Queen of Louisiana (Evan Rachel Wood).
"He's older," Ball said. "He's much more mature. He's much more methodical and grounded. She's kind of crazy. To me, she's kind of like Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan, where she has a very short attention span and she's very, very egomaniacal and very self-obsessed and doesn't really think about her actions whereas the vampire king is very much an adult. He has an agenda. He has things he wants to achieve. I think he's much more formidable than she is."
Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten):  This season Jason seems to get a little break from all the mayhem he endured in season 2.  According to Raelle this season will focus on Jason NOT getting into trouble and staying out of trouble's way.  This will be interesting to see how it plays out considering Jason was the one who shot Eggs at the end of season 3. Queen Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood):  Evan will be returning in season 3 in her role as Queen Sophie-Anne who is engaged in selling "V" which may get her in trouble in some way.
"Well, Sophie-Anne, when last we left her, she was sort of behind this selling of "V" as a recreational drug on the streets pretty much," Ball said. "That's not something a vampire authority figure should be doing. If higher-up vampire authority figures figure that out, they're not going to be happy."
Biker Gang:  In season three we will see the introduction of a biker gang called Coot's F--k You Crew which Raelle states that the new characters are still evolving and won't be what they appear to be.  As Raelle explains this biker gang is very mysterious and has been around much longer then alot of people think.  Raelle wouldn't elaborate any further, simply stating that "I don't want to say too much about them right now because I think that we are in the early stages of figuring that out." Tommy MickensAlexander Woo informed SciFiWire that he is writing the material for this new character which he states "will make a huge impact on our favorite characters." Without giving too much away Woo states that Tommy Mickens will play a "very prominently in the emotional life of at first one, and then later several other of our characters. He'll be the first domino to push the rest." Headgear:  Now this one I must admit has me wondering what the writers are referring to. Whether they are referring to actual headgear to be wore by the characters or a metaphor for a protective shell that the characters will place around themselves. Raelle explains helmets became a joke in the writer's room with the writers becoming aware they were relying too much on protective headgear.
"There've been several moments that we've been pitching things and thought, 'Oh, well, maybe she could be wearing a helmet and that would protect her. Maybe he could wear a helmet in that scene,'" Tucker recalled. "Suddenly we realized we had a whole bunch of characters wearing helmets for no particular reason. So we thought oh, that's the theme of the season."
Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard):  With the Eric fans demanding more screen time for him and a big romantic link between Eric and Sookie, the writers state that does not occur until much later in Charlaine Harris' books .   As Raelle states:
"You know what's funny is that he's in the first two books, he's a fairly minor character in Sookie's universe," Tucker said. "There's a lot of fan pressure that they're supposed to be this big romantic thing, which actually in Charlaine [Harris]'s books doesn't happen until much, much further down. I think if we did that, we'd probably bore them all to death. I think part of the magic of Eric is some of the mystery of Eric and the inaccessibility of Eric. I think you don't want to turn them into the nice romantic love interest who's in every scene. I think his danger is important so not just throwing him up whenever somebody wants to see his bare chest is actually a more disciplined approach."
So there you have it, the latest spoilers.  So now lets start speculating as we wait for the return of Season 3 of True Blood. SOURCE: SciFiWire.com (Photo credit: HBO Inc.)
