The grueling nine-month long wait for the premiere of season four of True Blood proved to be well worth it as the foundation for plenty of twists and turns (both in the sack and out) was highlighted by Tara’s (Rutina Wesley) new lust for the ladies.
The grueling nine-month long wait for the premiere of season four of True Blood proved to be well worth it as the foundation for plenty of twists and turns (both in the sack and out) was highlighted by Tara’s (Rutina Wesley) new lust for the ladies.
Let’s back up for a moment…..if you remember, in the season three finale we saw Tara, ready for a major life change after being brutally attacked, stalked and drained by a vampire. In one of the most memorable scenes from the episode, we see her heading out of Bon Temps, sporting a new do and a new attitude.
Now fast forward a year and we find Tara living in New Orleans, apparently moonlighting as a female cage fighter from Atlanta named Toni. And Toni/Tara clearly takes all of her frustrations out on her poor opponents in the ring. Except there’s the twist, and it’s a good one, we find that her opponent this episode is also her girlfriend.
Now, this storyline must have come as a complete shocker for avid True Blood fans as you can recall Tara’s many failed attempts at making it work with a few of the men in town, including Sam (Sam Trammell) and Eggs (Mehcad Brooks).
According to series creator Alan Ball, Tara’s new life is really not that surprising at all. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ball says, “We felt like it was time for Tara to stop being the victim. It was time for Tara to really take charge of her life in a way that would be surprising and would give us some fun places to go story wise. We thought, if somebody has been through something like that, maybe they would be prompted to create a whole new life and identity. And why not?”
Well, we can’t wait to see where this is storyline is heading. Thank you Alan!
