I Was Raised To Fight Back - True Blood Season 3 Trailer 1

The first trailer for the new season aired last night and there was some goodies to behold.

The sight of naked Bill (Stephen Moyer) in the woods certainly keeps up with this show's fondness for nudity. Seriously though, it's going to be interesting to see how Bill's abduction is maintain for a reasonable length this season.

Pam (Kristin Bauer) had naff all to do last season but she's a regular in this one and Alan Ball has discussed delving into her sexuality as well. More Pam on screen can only be a good thing.

Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) finds herself getting up close with werewolf Alcide Herveaux(Joe Manganiello) during her quest to find Bill and other little errands that Eric keeps throwing her way. This was a relationship that petered out pretty quickly in the books but will it become something deeper in the series?

Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) certainly seems to be embracing her wilder side this season and if she isn't copping off with dodgy blokes, then she's adding to the body count in Bon Temps. The shipper in me hopes that her and Hoyt reunite though.

What on earth has gotten Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) so worried? Guilty conscience over Eggs's death? Jason's other storylines this season involve training to be a cop and getting involved with werepanther Crystal Norris.

For a girl with her own prejudice towards vampires, it's a shame that Tara (Rutina Wesley) will end up with one like Franklin Mott (James Frain) this season. Oh, Tara, your luck with men will continue to be dire.

I don't doubt that any moment between Sookie and Eric Northam (Alexander Skarsgard) will be met with universal happiness but it does seem like the love interests are being piled on this year. Bill, Eric and Alcide. Some girls do have all the luck.

Sookie get pistol happy. Must be for Debbie Pelt (Brit Morgan). I know this season is largely fusing stuff from the books Club Dead and Dead To The World so expect werewolves, fairies and all other sorts of badness coming Bon Temps way. By the way, I've watched the first three minisodes and I'm waiting until they've all aired so I can do a review for the lot of them. Season 3 premieres Sundays at 9pm on HBO from June 13th.
