From the previews & posts on HBO.com, EW.com & other online sources of mine, it sounds like it's going to be the most exciting, dramatic & action-packed season yet! And if you thought it was getting intense between Bill, Sookie & Eric, just wait until Alcide gets thrown into the mix. Will Sookie fall for the good vampire, the bad (yet kinda good) vampire or the hot new werewolf? Tune in Sunday nights on HBO to find out!
