Waiting sucks a little less thanks to the just-released trailer for "True Blood"'s witchy fourth season (premiering June 26). The 30-second spot is light on pivotal plot points, but I'm cool with that because there's plenty of Eric Northman. (My Twitter bio doesn't read "future wife of Alexander Skarsgård," for nothin'.) But I know not everyone is as obsessed with the strapping viking as I am, so here's my list of four noteworthy things from the trailer (with only one paltry Eric shout-out).
1. A little bit of self-referential humor featuring...Alexander Skarsgård
This exchange:
Sookie (covering her otherwise naked body with some sort of makeshift garment): "Is this another dream?"
Eric (looking her up and down): "This is not a dream."
Yes, it is a dream. My dream! It's about darn time these two hook-up for realsies.
2. New blood
This season promises a Country Buffet-sized serving of new characters, which we sincerely hope doesn't become too confusing. Using my powers of play and pause, I spied at least two fresh faces in the promo: Alexandra Breckenridge (she was the one being choked out by Bill), who plays Wiccan Daisy, and Janina Gavankar (she was the one sucking face with Sam), who plays Luna, a fellow shapeshifter/public school teacher. Looks like these ladies are stirring up trouble in a hurry.
3. Shirtless Joe Manganiello
I'm pretty sure this point needs no commentary. Because you're no longer listening to me. Are you?
4. Shirtless Alexander Skarsgård
Okay. I lied. So sue me.
