If you haven’t seen all of the awesome tributes already today, TRUE BLOOD premiered 15 years ago today on September 7, 2008. Alexander Skarsgård’s character Eric Northman didn’t appear until episode 1.04, so this post is about the show/cast that hooked me before I even saw Alex as Eric. I’ve said before the TB changed my life in so many ways. I started reading Charlaine Harris’s novels the series was based on (The Southern Vampire Mysteries) and had read books 1 & 2 and had given up on 3 since I didn’t like the addition of the werewolves and what was happening with Bill. (I really did not like Eric at all.) Then in June 2010 I started watching Season 1 of True Blood and I was instantly hooked. After watching Season 2 I suddenly didn’t think Eric was so bad after all and would rewatch the show just to watch him (& Jason). I started finishing book 3 and suddenly werewolves and everything else was very exciting and of course I loved reading about Eric too. Because of this show I’ve made friends around the world, traveled to as many countries as I could, had incredible adventures and it made me thrilled to get up every day to make posts about the show and Alex ever since. My favorite True Blood adventure would have to be going to see them at PaleyFest in 2011 with the girls I worked with on TrueBlood-News com. I6 cast members and Alan Ball were there and it was so fantastic and surreal and that’s the first time I saw Alex in person. I thought that would be my one & only time but more adventures kept on coming. I would never have hopped on a plane by myself if it wasn’t for this show. It made me want to get out and do stuff, and see what else the world had to offer. I got to meet Charlaine Harris and it was another incredible experience. I am eternally grateful for all of the creators of the books/show/screen writers/directors/costumers, and of course the actors. It will forever be my favorite show. These photos are mostly all professional images shot by John P. Johnson I believe, with the exception of a few screen caps. #alexanderskarsgård #alexanderskarsgard #trueblood #ericnorthman
