HBO have released the first trailer for True Blood's fourth season that includes new footage. What do we have in store for us? Um, more of the same. There's no clear sense of what season 4's story is, and this year's apparent emphasis on witchcraft isn't noticeable from anything here. Instead, we have a semi-naked Anna Paquin and Joe Manganiello showing his granite-like six-pack. It's all just a little tease at this stage, so hopefully a more substantial trailer is just around the corner...Are you excited for True Blood's return? Were you happy with the third season? I thought it was pretty terrible, mainly because 80% of the storylines didn't even resolve. It felt like a show that's headed out of control, with showrunner Alan Ball indulging himself and failing to keep a tight reign on the plot and the show's ludicrously expanding ensemble. I can only hope Ball realizes just how disjointed and nonsensical season 3 felt to viewers, and can see past the misplaced adulation from diehard fans (not to mention the healthy ratings), to realize he needs to get a grip of things before it falls apart. I still really like the show's tone, style, sensibilities, and pace... but I want to feel like I'm being told a proper story, not spoonfed inciting moments and shocking cliffhangers.True Blood returns to HBO on 26 June.
