Yes, I watch True Blood. I've been telling myself after the last season's insanity and by insanity I mean plot holes that I wasn't going to watch any more and read instead. But Alexsander Skarsgard is really, really, really, really, really, really, ridiculously good looking.
Not the kind of plot holes that Eric dug up after he killed that werewolf - I mean the kind were Tara cuts off all her hair; Jason raises some inbred orphans; and Jessica and Hoyt start shacking up despite the fact that some diminutive doll collecting nutjob is likely stalking them. In Season 3 of True Blood a lot of stuff happened. Too much.
So you are warned. Here be spoilers. Lots of them too because I've seen the first two epsidoes now. I'll try not to ruin it completely.
In the hiatus I hoped Tara would take off and stay gone. No such luck. By the way Sookie is not a good girlfriend. If someone tells you that they're going to take off for awhile, you at least need to let them know how bad their hair looks. Well apparently Tara found a better hairdresser in Nawlins cause she's got like Beyoncé hair now.
In case you didn't know, HBO GO aired the second episode of the fourth season. If you're clever you might be able to find it.
So Bill is the King of Louisiana now and has a black ops private military squad guarding his house. Jason is a cop. Andy is hooked on V. Arlene's kid is possible Demian. Sookie escapes the fae plane with a little help. Sam shot Tommy and is now paying his medical bills and attending anger management with other shape shifters. (See, spoilers.)
To the good stuff. Eric tells Sookie "you are mine". Apparently this is supposed to be a big deal, but for the life of me I can't remember when Bill first said it to Sookie. All I can remember is every other time he frikkin' said it. It has to be the most said line in the show. Sookie tells Eric to go away. If only she could have sent him to my house.
Then in Episode 2, Eric is sent to break up a witch coven (Tara, Jesus, Lafayette, and that crazy Wicca chick that starting working at Merlotte's are there when Eric shows up), but instead Aunt Petunia from Harry Potter (is she still a Muggle then?) casts a little spell. Eric can't seem to remember, well, anything.
Oh, yes. Other things happen.
We get a little backstory on Bill and the VampireInjustice League, especially about Nan. Pam is fantastic as always though her lines lacked their usual punch with all the "fairy princess" and telling Sookie that "he [Eric] pulls good string" when Sookie says she won't be Eric's puppet. Maybe it's just me, but bad grammar does not good wit make.
I think Alan Ball and the writers really saved their ass by making Sookie disappear for 12 months and 2 weeks in the show's story line. It sped up certain storylines (like Jason's), but at the same time it's not a complete save. The whole time jump thing gets a lot of mention in the season premiere, but even though it's been a year since last season, I'm still a bit off kilter. The writing doesn't entirely convince me that all the characters have had 12 1/2 months go by.
Still I watch the show for pretty much only one reason (to see Alexsander Skarsgard's with as little clothes on as often as possible) so as long as I'm sufficiently "entertained" I'll keep on watching because I mentioned before Alexsander Skarsgard is really, really, really, really, really, really ridiculously good looking.
So my prediction for this season? The big thing for True Blood is this is the season of the witch (obviously since the promos were all about it). Necromancers. The ability to control the dead. Vampires are dead. Mentions of the Inquisition. Also we're going to see some Shifters who can turn into well, anything. The thing is, Shifters only get that ability if they kill someone in their own family. What does that mean now that Sam shot Tommy? With the vampires trying to do damage control in the post-Eddington world, the top of the food chain has other things to think about and it's the perfect time to see what else is out there...
The list so far:

- Witches & Warlocks
- Shape Shifters
- Fairies
- Werepanthers (which can be "made" apparently by having werepanthers eat your intestines)
- and whatever Arlene's baby is (which maybe some backwater bayou black magic of another sort)
