So if you didn't watch the Emmys Sunday night you missed some True Blood action.
After making a "bloody" good vampire pun Anna Paquin, Alexander Skarsgard, and Stephen Moyer presented awards for Miniseries or Movie Directing, Lead Actor, and Actress
The show was also nominated for 5 Emmys:
Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series
Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series
Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup For a Series, Miniseries, Movie Or A Special
Outstanding Sound Editing For a Series
and Outstanding Drama Series
Unfortunately True Blood lost in all it's categories including Outstanding Drama Series to now 3 year winner Mad Men. Though no Emmy this year with the excellent 3rd season of True Blood more nominations are surely on the way

Season 3 episode 10
Warning Spoilers Ahead
To start out this weeks recap a congratulations to Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer for their nuptials. In an episode that dealt with honesty and trust much was revealed. Finally after 3 seasons of the perpetual question "What are you?" we now have an answer. In a somewhat anticlimactic scene Bill has revealed for us that Sookie is a fairy! To which she feels is quote "f@#$ing lame". We are also informed that not only is Sookie's blood delectable but that most fairies have been eliminated by vampires.
In a moment that left me feeling completely blind-sighted Sam is revealed to have not only been a jewel thief but a murderer as well! Arlene reveals to Terry that the baby is the dead Rene's, and in a heart-warming moment Terry promises that he will love the child all the same. Of course this might not happen as Arlene and Holly seem to be planing on getting rid of it.
Jason after having a tender moment with Tara, finally tells Tara that it was he that shot Eggs and not Andy. Jason has a revelation of his own when Crystal reveals herself as a form of were that changes into a panther. Hoyt and Jessica have gotten back together. Much to the displeasure of Tommy, who attacked Hoyt in pitbull form and got his butt kicked by Jess. Russell in his continuing grief over Talbot's death, finds and stakes a Talbot lookalike hooker.
And finally in what is an ever increasing number of frustrating cliffhangers Sookie and Eric share a passionate kiss Then, after being confronted by Pam over not wanting to risk Sookie in his quest for vengence, Eric seems to have returned to his bad boy roots by locking Sookie in his sex/ torture dungeon to use her for his own gain
But what really made my Fangs Pop this week was Bill and Eric's conversation where Bill is revealed to having been sent for Sookie by the queen this revelation was back up by Sookie's conversation with Eric and Jason
Sookie to Eric "Why are you here? To pretend like you care about my safety, so you can sell me out to Russell again, or is it to the Queen this time?" -Sookie
Sookie and Jason "How would you know, Sook? No one can keep anything from you. VAMPIRES can."
These tiny moments continue to call into question Bills trustworthiness and if he truly has the best of intentions for Sookie
Now this may not have been the best episode of True Blood I wholeheartedly believe it is a setup for what will be a fantastic finale to the best season yet.

Sam Trammell's Interview with Venice Magazine
In July Sam Trammel had an interview with Venice Magazine here's an excerpt
Of all the shows out there, what’s it like to be on one with so many possibilities?
Sam Trammell:
It’s so fun! I always say that it’s a genre show, but what we really are is a character drama in a fantastical world. So we have this really good character writing and character development from Alan Ball but we’re in this insane world where you get to do all this fun stuff — like turning into animals, and there’s lots of blood, and it’s a really fun show to do. We’re just so lucky because it never gets boring; it always gets more and more challenging.

Season 3 Episode 9
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
This weeks True Blood was full of blood, tears, and general chaos.
Sookie and Bill appear to be officially back together after a steamy, but beautifully done sex scene last week and further consummated their bond int the shower (to many Team Eric fans displeasure). Sookie still seems wary to trust Bill completely and Bill, after a trip to what I like to call "Tinkerbell Pond", might have finally found out what Sookie, but we still have to wait to find out in what has be an extremely drawn out moment putting new meaning to "Waiting Sucks".
We saw another tender moment between Eric and Pam. Eric believing he might be killed be the A.V.L. for Russell's murder of the Magister, he comforts Pam at the possible loss of her maker. Though Eric lives, he's left with the task of killing Russell on his own.
Of course my jaw hit the floor at the return an abrupt death of Franklin by the hands, or should I say shotgun, of Jason. Oddly SAD to say I'll miss him from his awesome explicit texting skills to his insane, jealous, tear-filled rants.
The drama in Jason, Sam, Arlene, and Jessica's life continues to escalate, and Lafayette and Jesus's (La-sus?) budding romance continues to grow. Though the mysterious Holly is getting more and more intriguing it all seems lackluster in comparison with everything else, and with all these storylines somethings may get lost on us, the viewers.
But what really made my Fangs Pop this week was Russell Edgington's "spine tingling" performance on the news. After the death of his child and lover Talbot he seems to have jumped onto Franklin's crazy train. First rolling around in Talbot's remains then storing them in a candy dish! He then proceeded to kill a news anchor and go on a rant on live television that might have ruined Nan Flanagan and the vampire Authority's chances at passing the V.R.A. (Vampire Rights Amendment)
Now there may be to many storylines going on at once, but I trust Alan Ball and his writers to wrap it altogether in a bloody, raunchy, and fantastic ending. All in all this episode was still amazing and is apart of what may be the best True Blood season yet.
