8) Tara and Pam Make it Official on True Blood

True Blood’s Season 5, entitled “Save Yourself,” gave fans of the show another couple to look forward to when Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) capped off their season long flirtation with a kiss. Their relationship started as maker and baby vamp and evolved into a genuine relationship. It happened when Tara and Sookie (Anna Paquin) were busting Pam and Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) out of the cellblock at the Authority headquarters. After the girls were released, Tara planted a HUGE kiss on Pam. To which Jessica, who was watching from down the hall, responded with a well timed “I knew it!” The day after the episode aired, HBO released extra footage featuring the new couple. During the bonus scene, they are in an elevator, trying to escape, and as Tara is loading her weapon she looks over at Pam and says,"You better not go and get yourself killed, ya hear? Cause you and I got a date. It's been a long time comin'." To which Pam replied, "If that's not an impetus to survive, I don't know what is."
