There Will Be (True) Blood (Coverage)
The only thing I know less about True Blood is if any TR readers enjoy it or consider it nerdy. However, the only alternative I had to running this full trailer for True Blood season 5 was yet more Prometheus and Amazing Spider-Man bullshit, I figured a bit of total True Blood ignorance would be a pleasant change of pace to my constant Prometheus/Spidey bitching. Question: Can I assume Chris Meloni’s True Blood character is the same fridge-humping cafeteria worker he played in Wet Hot American Summer? ‘Cause that would be pretty awesome.
