True Blood Lightning Round: Alan Ball on Bill-Sookie-Eric Triangle, Season 4 Finale

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer As True Blood starts charging towards the Season 4 finale, executive producer Alan Ball was on hand at HBO's summer TV session to dish out a few spoilers — and when we say few, we mean very few. Here is the transcript of our rapid-fire lightning round with the very cagey Ball: True Blood: Eric and Sookie shower! Twin faeries! And 5 other spoilers from Comic-Con What will we see in the war between witches and vampires? Ball: It will go places that surprise you. It's not linear. What can you say of the Bill-Sookie-Eric triangle? Ball: It's complicated. Will Sookie (Anna Paquin) be able to forgive Bill (Stephen Moyer)? Ball: I believe forgiveness is possible for everybody for everything, but I'm a Buddist, so... Were you careful with the relationship between Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and Sookie because of Team Bill? Ball: I don't worry about Team Bill or Team Eric. I love [the fourth book] because I thought it was a great story, but I'm Team Sookie. Because Jason (Ryan Kwanten) drank Jessica's (Deborah Ann Woll) blood, will his sex dreams continue? Ball: He's had her blood and he's already a very sexual person, but he's going to be attracted to her. True Blood's Marshall Allman: "Team Tommy is on the rise" What is the season building up to? Ball: The fate of vampires as a whole. What's the big, bad villain for next season? Ball: We are just in the beginning of Season 5, so it's too early to say, but we're basing it on the books. Do you feel pressure to top each villain? Ball: I don't think that way because that's only a recipe for trouble. I love my job, I enjoy doing it. I'm not going to put pressure on myself to top. I just want to tell the best story and the most fun story. Why did the show really jump one year in the future this year? Ball: The root of that was how we get Jason to be a cop. True Blood: 10 big Season 4 spoilers Bonus non-True Blood question: Having created ABC's Oh, Grow Up and co-executive produced CBS' Cybill, would you ever consider doing another sitcom? Ball: No, no, no. I would rather drive rusty railroad spikes into my eyes. True Blood airs Sundays at 9/8c on HBO.  

Los Angeles' Latest Apps

When I first came to Los Angeles back in the last century, I was armed with the cutting-edge technology of the day: a Thomas Guide book of maps. Because L.A. County is about 4,000 square miles, this tome was only slightly thinner than the Hong Kong yellow pages. I typically searched it while I drove (the old-school version of texting while driving and no less stupid), furiously flipping pages while I zipped past L.A'.s fantastically unhelpful freeway signage. (I'm still baffled, 20 years later, as to why consecutive entrances to the 101/Hollywood Freeway inform you that you're going north, west, south, or east without regard to the pesky reality of which direction the freeway is headed. Such are the mysteries of L.A.'s signage.) Luckily, apps designed for the iPhone and the Android operating system will help you navigate Los Angeles in ways that would have been sheer science fiction to the brothers Thomas. I'm starting with this topic because, other than our acting careers, navigating the streets of L.A. is an omnipresent challenge. Under that banner, try: Google Maps (Free, iPhone/Android), to check the best route and observe traffic patterns (checking this before you've hopped on the freeway will save you hours of bumper-to-bumper headaches). The Android version also offers "voice" turn-by-turn directions. Waze GPS & Traffic (Free, iPhone/Android). With turn-by-turn "voice" directions, this app's social networking ability lets you tell other drivers about trouble spots you've encountered in real time. Dozens of other navigation apps are available, but some are quite expensive, so try the free ones first. Gas Buddy ($2.99, iPhone/coming soon to Android), to find the cheapest, closest gas station. Parker (Free, iPhone/Android), uses sensor feeds installed in parking meters to let you know where to find open spaces and sets a timer that alerts when your meter is about to expire. Yelp (Free, iPhone/Android). When I needed a car mechanic, 18 glowing user-generated reviews ("This is the most honest mechanic I have ever been to....") led me to a repairman in my neighborhood whom I love more than members of my own family. Craigslist Mobile (Free, iPhone/Android), for apartment hunting and deals on used furniture. Westside Rentals (Free, iPhone/Android). It's $60 for 60 days of apartment listings—very useful when you're on the go. Now, to Your Career Call Sheet ($9.99/iPhone only). This app offers contact information for every talent agent, manager, casting director, and production company in L.A. and NYC. Formerly known as The Ross Reports, it might be one of the most worthwhile apps for any actor. (Full disclosure: I write for the company that makes this app, but that has no bearing on this description.) TCF Actor on the Go (Free, iPhone). Mainly known for commercial submissions, TCF (The Casting Frontier) offers a basic version that lets you receive, confirm, or cancel auditions from your agent or CD. If you're a premium member ($36 or $60/year, depending on the perk), you can also submit yourself to roles posted to the public boards. No charge to change your pictures as often as you like, and a video upload option is coming. IMDb (Free, iPhone/Android). A must-have to quickly check anyone's film production or TV credits. Actor Genie ($9.99/iPhone only). For any actor new to L.A., this is very useful, showing what's being cast; information for finding an acting coach or photographer; and a feature I especially like called "Today's Take" offering tidbits of advice from people already successful in the business. Rehearsal 2 ($19.99, iPhone). I know it's expensive, but it's smartly designed to help you learn your lines; you can even put notes in the margin. Reality TV Casting ($2.99, iPhone). If your dreams of stardom haven't materialized by the end of your first week in L.A., try this app for a listing of all the nonscripted shows being cast. It may not be why you went to drama school, but many actors have craftily used their reality show stints as a springboard to more distinguished employment. (Note: This is also a Back Stage app.) Happy Hour (Free, iPhone/Android). If all else fails, you can drown your sorrows with this handy guide to all the food and drink specials going on near you. Skol!

Discovery Channel Sasquatch : Legend Meets Science

The investigations take a look at about 17 different categories of
evidence: fossil evidence, new species discoveries, dermal ridges, the
sasquatch body, images, step frequency, biomechanics, forensic
measurements, Patterson-Gimlin film, behavior parallels,
vocalizations, visual misidentification, track morphology,
kinesiology, soft tissue pathology, statistics, and DNA.

Some very interesting conclusions are drawn from these studies. For
example, did you know human dermal ridges run one direction while
primate dermal ridges run another? Some of the tracks that were found
exhibit dermal ridges and were examined by a professional.

See Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit

*Dwarves are popping out of the woodwork all over the place at the
moment. And today is no different, as another short fella from _The
Hobbit_ has been revealed online.*

This time it’s Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, a
fearsome leader of dwarves.

Oakenshield’s backstory is intimately tied to that of giant
dragon Smaug, who destroyed the dwarf kingdom of Erebor and
slaughtered many of his kin.

Continuing the shaggy-haired look of the dwaves, Armitage looks
nothing short of fearsome as Oakenshield.

He also gets to wield one seriously cool sword, proving that director
Peter Jackson's army of blacksmiths haven't lost their touch any.

Check out the new image below…

_The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey_ opens 14 December 2012.
