‘True Blood’ season 6, episode 1 preview: Death in ‘Who Are You, Really?’

Over the past several weeks, there have been all sorts of teasers, photos, and videos released all about the sixth season of “True Blood.” However, we’re actually at the point now where it is pretty much time to just shove all of that away, and focus on the fact that the series is almost back on HBO with the season premiere!

We’re not going to dive any deeper than tomorrow’s episode here, mostly because there’s plenty of time to sink your fangs into everything else down the road. Instead, let’s start things off by just detailing a few small things about “Who Are You, Really,” which is the episode that should push forward everything else that happens in the coming months.

1. Death comes knocking – No, this is not the death that will shake up the very fabric of the show, but this is still a major death nonetheless, and it happens within the first ten minutes of the episode.

2. “New” carries across the board – You’ve already seen a sneak peek of Sookie Stackhouse meeting a new (but very important) new character. But what comes next? How about Jason Stackhouse doing something similar? The only difference is that he is not meeting a possible love interest.

3. Bill has an identity crisis – Sure, Bill is now a super-powerful vampire god with the blood of Lilith within him, but was does that really mean, and how will he use it? Don’t assume that Bill is going to spend the premiere running around killing everyone.

If you want to get some more insight on the “True Blood” premiere, we’ve got some for you now. Be sure to check out what Joe Manganiello has to say about a memorable part of the premiere over at the link here.
