“In a recent chat with DS, the British actor, who plays vampire Bill Compton on the HBO series, joked that he is hoping for a bedroom scene with Alexander Skarsgård’s Eric Northman. ‘Alex is a good friend of mine and a fantastic actor and I love working with Alex and I don’t get to do it as much as I would love to,’ he revealed. ‘You never know – whether they’ll stick Eric and Bill in bed together, I don’t know. But here’s hoping!’ Moyer, 39, also voiced his approval over the Bill-Sookie-Eric love triangle. ‘One thing about great drama is that you can’t watch two characters be happy for… well, sometimes half a season is too much. I think there has to be obstacles put in there way. I think the Bill and Eric characters are great.’”
Bill wants a hookup scene with Eric? Now THERE’S a role you can sink your teeth into…
These new pictures touched off a heated comment debate on justjared.com. I think it’s prefab bull, but hey any excuse to gawk at the Fanged One is a good one.

In the You Couldn’t Make This Up Department: Paper doll cutouts of your favorite True Blood characters!! They’re releasing a new character every week until the end of Season Two. I can see all the tweets now: “I went home with Alexander Skarsgard and all I got was this lousy paper cut.”
Fuck Mom. I’m running with the scissors.

And just in case you have no idea what to do with them, here’s a video example….
It’s destined to be inducted into the Slang Hall of Fame. Here’s the 20-second scene on YouTube. Godric, the most powerful of the True Blood vampires, says it when he grabs a predatory vampire by the throat as she was about to ‘feed’ on a human he likes.
I have now completely worn out the phrase, vehemently whispering it to my friends whenever a cutie walks past us or yelling at the TV when they show the healthcare Town Hall meetings.
“Retract Your Fangs! Mark my words (or technically, Godric’s), you’re going to hear it a lot in the next few months.
Alexander Skarsgard, otherwise known as “Eric Northman” on HBO’s hit series “True Blood,” embodies the dark eroticism and just raw sexuality that the disturbing theme song promises in the open credits. He is everywhere right now, Google his name or any variation and you’ll get millions of hits.
What makes the blonde, blue eyed Swede so magnetic as an improbable character-a thousand year old viking- in yet another cheesy vampire themed show? I have no idea really, but I’m buying into it and so is everyone else I know. Vampires are everywhere right now, from the “Twilight” series of books and movies, to the popularity of authors such as Charlaine Harris (creator of the “True Blood” characters in her “Sookie Stackhouse” series), J.R. Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood), Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurel Hamilton, and of course the God Mother of strange sexuality; Anne Rice.
This isn’t new though. Our thirst for the forbidden erotic started with a female demon from the Talmud named Lillith. Purported to be the first wife of Adam, she was portrayed in later scripture as a highly sexualized vampire like creature, a succubus, that came upon men in the night and drained them of their essence. Against their will, of course.
Later, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker further branded vampires in the public consciousness as deliverers of the ultimate sexual pleasure. Bringing this imagery to film only heightened the fascination we have for the undead. Ever notice that instead of a wince of pain as Dracula sank his fangs into a neck, that the victim looked transported into orgasmic ecstasy?
