Great scene. Thank god we still have the books to explain Sookie's origins. True Blood was great, but they did their main character a sever diservice not exploring her fairy heritage enough.
From season 2 True Blood started to be it’s own thing independently from Sookie’s book storyline. The focus of the show was vampires and although Sookie’s fairy relevance started with Russell Edgington re emergence on season 5, I feel the writers accomodated Sookie’s fairy background to fit the show’s main storyline rather than fully develop her magical side. We see this more evidently in season 7 when her ancestral grandfather prince Niall made a cameo to deliver a washy washy reason why he wouldn’t bother with his powers to even attempt to heal Bill from hep V. At that point in the show Allan Ball was not creatively involved and they didn’t quite know how to manage the fairy content or even the fact that Alcide’s relationship with Sookie took place off screen in the time jump. The ending was so anachronistic with how edgy the show used to be in earlier seasons but now with the remake of True Blood we’ll see if they rework the material or use the content.
In books, the universe of fairies is widely discussed. In the series, unfortunately, they didn't even touch the surface. I would like to see more series about fairies, elves, goblins, gnomes. I'm sick of vampires
Leslie Sauceman well actually what happened is that people were really disappointed with the direction of the show so they cut it short. It’s the same reason Lafayette lived and didn’t die in the first season. They killed him off but people got vocal about how much they loved him so they changed it when they started filming the second season. At the end of season 3 people weren’t really feeling the fairies so they changed it when filming season 4.
Traditionally they are beautiful but dangerous and not to be messed with also it's easy to insult them and insulting them can lead to huge issues they like gifts though.
@uliseslag In the books they are different. They are not Goblin-like or anything. They are simply the most beautiful things your eyes can ever see. Alan Ball just likes to change the shit out of the whole show. :p
I’ve been looking for this clip for YEARS 💀 i vaguely remembered the party scene and the granddaddy being stuck in time (i thought it was her dad) I saw this clip with the golden fruits and KNEW this is what I’ve been looking for all this time 😭😭😭
I don't think they are goblins. I mean, if you read about faeries and explore different myths, you'd know they come in different personas. Faeries are initially tricksters. They like playing pranks on people. Some people believed they were actually demons. And who cares that they do not resemble the books? It has been established since season one that "True Blood" is only loosely based on Harris's novels, which gives Ball plenty of room to explore and keep things creative.
The fairies were done so dirty in True Blood. Instead of being powerful, strong and viscious like they were in the books; they were turned into glowsticks that couldn't take a single vampire down. This intro scene had so much potential but they tossed it out for 'Vampire Religion/Lillith' and 'diseased vamps'. If the show was going to be primarily about vampires, theu shpuld have stuck to vampires, not half introduce other supernatural species and not fully exploit their potential.
she wasnt just queen of the goblins she was more like an evil goddess she was well known for being a part of Merlin she was really the evil force who wants to destroy humanity. her sister was the lady of the lake who is the good force helping merlin and saving mankind. she is also spoken of in romeo and Juliette as queen of the fairy's during mercutio's monologue as if she torments men.
Why the hell is Claudine mean?!? And the fairies are suppose to be stunnig, especially Cladue, that's messed up... at least the Eric part will be worth it...
I'm getting more frustraded by the hour. Here in the Netherlands it's almost the 26 th. I can't watch the premiere tomorrow, that REALLY SUCKS. I NEED to see ERIC.
Um...well, not really what I expected at all. Especially considering Claude seems to give a shit. But okay, fast forward a bit in the story, I suppose?
@kakuichi Dude im not saying they had to make it same as in the books i get what a tv show is.I like some of the changes they made but this one is reterted and the efects are funny:D
@kakuichi AlukardFE is a douche for having an opposing opinion? I saw the show first, liked it, which caused me to read the books. I know that you can only do so much when translating a book to a show, but really Alan Ball should've made his own vampire show if he was going to change it so much. The show has turned into a glorified fan fiction. He has made some nice changes, but taking screen time from main characters to add a bunch of filler for side characters is not good story telling.
8 minute sneak peak- how about return the series back to Hulu no ads! I was watching all the seasons then you took it away. Bullshit! Get over yourselves HBO! No wonder people pirate.
if you would like to see episode 2 right know go to my page and click on the video Caught in the picking and in the comment section you will find a web page that you can go to, too watch season 4 episode 2, Copy and paste the web site. Oh and watch the video

The show was only loosely based on novels. Mainly the True Blood and vampires coming out. Otherwise it would have been the Southern Vampire Mysteries.
Mab could have been an interesting villain had the show not dropped her in the first 3 minutes after introducing her
And Rebecca Wisocky is just so brilliant. Missed opportunity for sure.
They never knew how to handle the fairy content, it was shoehorned to fit the vampire centric storyline running the central point of view.
5:28 Mab was like, "Sure I believe you".
In books, the universe of fairies is widely discussed. In the series, unfortunately, they didn't even touch the surface. I would like to see more series about fairies, elves, goblins, gnomes. I'm sick of vampires
They should have explained this better and had more of a story with this than all that vampire religion crap
The show basically became about worshiping and wanking off vampires like ann rice.

@@WTKB82 ah yes back when HBO writters gave a shit about their audiences ahem…(GOT).
It was all down here from there...
@@candiceleigh5987 true that!
I love how "True Blood" and "Shadowhunters" depict faeries (or fairies) as extremely beautiful, enchanting yet dangerous creatures.
In the Labyrinth they look like Tinkerbell but bite if you handle them. In the movie Troll(1986) the fairies were all evil.
Traditionally they are beautiful but dangerous and not to be messed with also it's easy to insult them and insulting them can lead to huge issues they like gifts though.
@uliseslag In the books they are different. They are not Goblin-like or anything. They are simply the most beautiful things your eyes can ever see. Alan Ball just likes to change the shit out of the whole show. :p
I was thinking the exact same thing, they were beautiful in the book, the fairy twins were my bi awakening
Growing up is realizing Mab was soooo undoubtedly right
seriously they are so cool but only appeared for 1 episode:( what a letdown:( hope they appear more in season 5
This comment didn't age well :D I agree with it completely tho
I wouldn't trust glowing fruit either.
yes, she sad harvest.mab wants to bring all fairies and half-fairies to the fairy world so that the vampires cant hurt them.
I love true blood it's a 10 out of 10 show.
I wish that Barry stayed in th show. I love his interactions with Sookie
I agree. He has more interactions with her in the books. You should read them. After season 5 the books are way better than the show.
Barry's fairy god mother/father was HOT.
This was the best scene ever of True Blood
I’ve been looking for this clip for YEARS 💀 i vaguely remembered the party scene and the granddaddy being stuck in time (i thought it was her dad) I saw this clip with the golden fruits and KNEW this is what I’ve been looking for all this time 😭😭😭
Hmmmmm maybe the Children of the Forest are fairies too.

the name of this instrumental "fairy" music please??

What you said!? 🙏🏽
Me the whole time : " OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD"
@playboyandlover
I agree, I feel like they teased us with this first episode. I would have liked to see more of that faerie world.
never thought I'd say this: faeries rock!
NOOO!!! I didnt get my 8 minutes worth!! I was ripped off 10 seconds. I NEED to see more. I LOOOOVE TRUE BLOOD!!! :D
amazing effects :) Now I really want to see the rest!
I wish they would have brought back True Blood 😭
This preview was on HBO Sunday right after the season finale of Game of Thrones.
Lol at first I thought the begening was some orange juice commerical ..ahah.lol...
I really hate how they incorporated faries...its confusing and stupid.
Can we just admit though that werepanthers where more confusing and stupid.
The writing and direction after season 3 was atrocious, especially the 4th season.
You stupid people who dont read the books kill me. Their were always going ro be fairies. The main character is part fairy.
Get over it.
@@deadeyes4626 sooooo true. Christal was fucking crazy.
*Hotel California plays*
How did this slip my mind? Thanks for the reminder
I use to wish they bring true blood 🩸 back but it would never be the same without my favorite character la la!
I love True Blood! The new season comes out on my birthday! yay! lol :D
barry's fairy god mother! tehee! So. many jokes in my head!
its supposed to Fairy GodFather
@@RayofLightTarot maybe so but I just say what i learned
does anyone know when the 4th season comes out on dvd?
So, does anyone who's seen this episode know the name of the song that's played while Tara is fighting??
More and more minutes keep getting added :D .
she wasnt just queen of the goblins she was more like an evil goddess she was well known for being a part of Merlin she was really the evil force who wants to destroy humanity. her sister was the lady of the lake who is the good force helping merlin and saving mankind. she is also spoken of in romeo and Juliette as queen of the fairy's during mercutio's monologue as if she torments men.
This is WB 90s production levels.
amazing effects :)
is there a way to pay for HBO and not have cable?
there is a site called megashare. you can watch all the episodes.
HBO now
was i the only one hoping that queen mabs name was tinkerbell?
Did you just call a man a faery godmother?
Why the hell is Claudine mean?!? And the fairies are suppose to be stunnig, especially Cladue, that's messed up... at least the Eric part will be worth it...
It’s a shame this wasn’t touched on more…
They uploaded it again?? :\
I'm getting more frustraded by the hour. Here in the Netherlands it's almost the 26 th. I can't watch the premiere tomorrow, that REALLY SUCKS.
I NEED to see ERIC.

Um...well, not really what I expected at all. Especially considering Claude seems to give a shit. But okay, fast forward a bit in the story, I suppose?

this was 3 seconds too short to be called an 8 minute sneak peek -.-
@papachocolitis I've heard the name Mab, as the queen of the Goblins before. So there might be some resemblance there?
i cant wait...
Mab is only saving her people clearly i didn't like how sookie misunderstands that
@sdhillon1601 I don't know, this was my first time seeing it a little extended
Awesome! Can't wait to see it! :D
@guerre70 Marnie no fue debil para nada. De que ablas? Pero si, Mab estuviera bien para el season 5.
4:28 ugh!
@sdhillon1601 Nope it's extended by 2 min
I don't like Erics new haircut in season 4 :s
Whoaaa my mind is fuuuucked

OMG OMG I CANT WAIT!!!

@kakuichi everyone is entitled to their own opinions. just let @alukardFE write whatever, who cares.

Ella hubiera quedado excelente como la villana principal en la 4 temporada en lugar de marnie que resultó ser débil.
Deja vu? anyone?
Oh yea cnt wait till tomorrow
@sdhillon1601 It was they said it was 6 mins
3words.. OH MY GOD!!!!
