True Blood season three spoilers from Alan Ball

Advocate.com's got a bloody good interview with Alan Ball (pictured), writer and executive producer of 'True Blood'.

Ball spills on what we can expect from season three of the show saying, "We'll be meeting the vampire king of Mississippi and his long, long-term companion -- and by long-term I mean really long-term -- Talbot. I think Lafayette may meet a love interest, and certainly Pam, who works with Eric, she's certainly got a lesbian vibe -- I don't know that that's all she is, but she certainly does seem to appreciate the women.”

Below are just a few good reasons to watch 'True Blood'.
