[@SmedleyDouwright]

magicinthenumbers, excellent videos. Thanks for posting these.

[@coldplay143]

i love kristen and alex

[@AngelicaMJJ]

That too. I watch these for Alexander and Kristin anyway so I was good with this event, fun stuff.

[@Cla900]

@slea79 i probably wouldn't be watching this if it wasn't for the giggles and whispering between alex and kristen. TOTALLY made this more entertaining.

[@gabbey335]

I'm swedish myself and I gotta say that it's really nice to see someone from Sweden who's come this far and gets this much attention as Alex does. Poeple really seem to like him alot and I'm really happy for him. He's a great actor and really deserves it all. Oh and his english is amazing. People always make fun of the swedish accent but Alex speaks it very well!! :D

[@peeramidwithin3823]

All of the Skarsgard’s are well liked over here for sure. Stellan has been here a while now, and he’s been well respected ever since he showed up on screen. They are an extremely talented family, you absolutely should be proud.

[@snowwhitesw]

Thank you! I was in line for this panel and didn't get in. =)

[@applejul]

Eric and Sookie are the heart of this show!!

[@Obsessa]

Alex was wonderful after the panel. His handlers were rushing them and he stayed and gave autographs. He signed my badge, best day ever! Anna was sweet to.

[@hedjacks]

@ESvidz Lol, you did a great!!! I actually went back and listened to it a couple of times 'cause it was so funny :D

[@Aveo00]

@mpb199115 well Kristen also got a lot of attention; but Alex and her were so sweet and nice, I loved how the interacted.

[@Aveo00]

@slea79 LOL, Kristen and Alex were both totally rocking that Panel, they were the most entertaining ones on it; How can you not like them?

[@rolftina]

i never knew people loved lafayette so much!

[@hahs4]

YESSS!

[@eejoon508]

5:40 Everyone is lost in Alexander.... Speechless...

[@starliteluv5]

Alex and Kristen 8:00-8:20

[@CheerRandiCheer]

I think Alex and Kristen are just playing around, having fun like if they're brother and sister not like there's something going on between them:)

[@mmo234]

Dr. Skarsgard *raised eyebrow*

[@jesscohen1404]

@Makaveli7Soldier its the actress who plays Luna, the shifter

[@Aveo00]

@MarkFaust well, it happens in the books, so they also have to show it on the show at some extent.

[@emacat1215]

@MarkFaust I don't think it's "caving in." Had you read the books, you would be aware that Eric is far more important to Sookie than Bill is, who very much fades into a secondary character. That is the largest reason why there is such a following for Eric and Sookie, because so many of us have enjoyed the relationship between the two in the book so much. Aside from the book reasons, I think it's silly to gripe over women's "wishes." Puhleaze. Sex and love sell many of these shows, period.

[@TheeOneWhoTalks]

Lol, I love this show to a whole new level after hearing allan boll say "and that enemy is Michelle Bachman"

[@Aveo00]

@slea79 I don´t get your problem; at least they did offer entertainment; they were so funny and totally rocked the panel.

[@tifffanyT]

lala

[@babyamom2004]

Alex is definitely the fan favorite. I wish Alan Ball would finally drop his love for Bill/Sookie and recognize that fans want Eric and Sookie.

[@hahs4]

glad to know there are other Alex/Kristin shippers.hello fellow shipper

[@ForgetfulDreams6]

@babyamom2004 incase you can't tell, that's where the season is going, and even though they change a lot from the books, they still draw most of the story from them so it's not completely up to alan

[@Aveo00]

@MrsOcta who know the books.

[@NeverlandAud]

poor bill..................

[@jesscohen1404]

I would ask the entire cast apart from alex how annoyed they were that he was getting almost every question.

[@ikimawsome]

@ericsmymaker I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hahs4]

its like Alex&Kristin are in their own corner.I ship them so hard

[@Karone48]

@iiinees93 I agree he was not disrespectful. They're way down at the end of the line, what else are they going to do when they don't have a question.

[@askarsfan2011]

Actually, she probably does at this point. Rutina said that AB came to her at the end of S4 and told her that she would be a vampire next season. They don't just spring these things on actors usually. Rutina needed to know if she still had a job in case there were other long-term project offers available.

[@Makaveli7Soldier]

Who is the Chick that asked the Question about Hell?

[@icarium1505]

Thank you that was brilliant being able to watch all of that..sighs i am so jealous cause I wish I was there. Alex and Kristen I thought were brilliant and i really wanted to know what they were saying to each other the whole time. I found the whole cast to be really nice and Alan was hilarious as always. I agree with him saying that it would get boring if he stayed close to the books. As a big fan of the show and the books I love the characters Eric and Pam and think the actors play them well.

[@guest25951]

@Aveo00 true, but imagine sitting there and being bored to death... i know they'd understand, but that doesn't it's not a little vexing for them. haha i see your point in terms of the screen time, but i think they have the limited screen time with eric and sookie for a reason. otherwise, they would be going too fast or too slow. also, most of the stories somehow connect at one point so they've to move towards that point at their own paces.

[@ooshadygirloo]

@Makaveli7Soldier she plays Luna (Sam's new girlfriend) on the show.

[@LePetitDoll]

@pupyup12 i think cause i was a short answer and they all got quiet and that made them laugh harder

[@valryiefaerie]

What Alan Ball says "The Show will come-" at 4:32 after he talked about Eric getting his memory back?

[@themightysian]

@Aveo00 Actually I do get it, they're not following the books completely though. Alan never said Bill and Sookie end up together again, in the last episode he kind of proved Bill just wants her to be happy. I know she dates Quinn but that relationship isn't exactly all that long either, he goes off for god knows how long and there's nothing there when they get back together.

[@AnneMarieBardot]

@pollitah I have read all of them, and in the books I like Eric a lot actually x) But in the show, not so much \:

[@sneekz07]

@isnei520 I wasn't sure, which is why I said 'if'.

[@Madumosele]

I love when Janina Gavankar appears LOL xD

[@PeachezBrown2025]

I'm watching season 6 haha

[@sneekz07]

@babyamom2004 He has to go by the books, I haven't read the books but if it is a Sookie/Bill relationship he can't change that. It will ruin everything.

[@babyamom2004]

@Liz86000 Well, I for once have not read the books. I just think after all that happened last season, I am no longer interested in Bill and Sookie as a couple.

[@pollitah7078]

@AnneMarieBardot Read the books to find out ;)

[@Aveo00]

@Karone48 Yeah, I thought their interactions were just adorable, I thought that the other actors were to stiff and looked kind of bored, but not Kristin and Alex; but they were also quite busy on the panel, because they got a lot of questions:)

[@Aveo00]

@themightysian You don´t get it, in the books, after Erics amnesia Sookie has a real relationship with a weretiger called Quinn, but after that she has a rather long realtionship with Eric and Bill is completely out of the picture, thats why so many book readers are so pissed, the fact that Ball is pushing Bill so much in the foreground; Yeah, Bill does love her, its also a constant fact in the books, but Sookie is actually falling out of love with Bill and sees him later more as a friend.

[@Aveo00]

@guest25951 I don´t feel bad for them, it just showed which characters the fans like the most: Eric, Pam, Lafayette, Sookie and Jason; Alan BAll should give the more liked characters more screen time; its annoying that amnesia eric gets just like 7-8 minutes each episode while king bill and his ew storyline with boinking his great great great grandaughter and other things get like 12+ minutes screen time.

[@Cla900]

@Alyshamyre20 i want sookie to end up with alcide. and charlaine said that she will NOT be making sookie a vampire. so...who knows what will happen? i can't imagine it having a fairytale ending.

[@askarsfan2011]

I think she was just tired and bored. Comic Con is exhausting, and she wasn't asked a lot of questions on the panel.

[@Cla900]

@slea79 oh and i know some people (dedicated fans who had been waiting in the freezing cold for 3 and half hours) who met some of the cast on set just before they wrapped up. and they said kristin, alex and stephen were the nicest out of all of them. anna was fairly rude..saying she wanted to 'go home' and deborah just walked straight past them, didn't even acknowledge them. but of course, we all have our off days..just don't be so judgemental and certainly don't start favouring the cast.

[@TheCutelatina]

"sookie" 11:30 LOL!

[@TierneySloan]

The fans may want Eric and Sookie, but it will piss a lot of people off if it were to drop Bill all together.

[@valryiefaerie]

@themightysian I really hope they stays true as Eric/Sookie's relationship as the book. If Alan didn't put 2gether,TB would be doom. AB got a point, Anna have 2 work 19 or more hours on the show,becuz the books revolves Sookie's point of view but they want characters share some action & twist around their b/g that CH created. But AB also says Eric'll mite or not still remember he & Sookie had time 2 spent 2gether or maybe. I'm really hoping he remembers after the spell break.

[@AngelicaMJJ]

LOL, yeah most def. Hello :)

[@TheRockmysock97]

SOOKIE might have a twin!!!

[@InnocentOnPaper]

Lead the way Alex.... LOL

[@ESvidz]

11:26 is me! OMG I didn't think I'd get recognized for my "SOOKEH" comment ;3

[@2pakiMakabeli]

That woman in the audience is dressed up as starbucks from Battlestar galactica lol. at 0.37

[@pedramcq]

@babyamom2004 I didn't know Alan Ball had a favorite couple. And if that's so then my fears have come true, which is that the people who make the show influence it with their personal feelings. At first I thought it was going to end up as Bill and Sookie cuz their actors are married, and now I found out that Alan Ball loves the couple to. That makes me really sad since I am a total Eric and Sookie fan.

[@Rosebud331]

@jesscohen1404 I think they're far too mature and professional to be "annoyed" that Alex was "getting almost every question".

[@Makaveli7Soldier]

@ooshadygirloo oh yes, the shifter. Thanks, that was annoying the hell outta me. cheers!

[@AngelicaMJJ]

You all do realize that this panel happened after they were done taping season 4 right? This is the reason Rutina is so quiet and looks bored, I think she is actually sad and worried this was her last season on TB. You know she doesn't know if she'll live and be back for season 5 so.... yeah, she is worried IMO

[@Aveo00]

@AnneMarieBardot Then you are in a minority; Eric is great in the books and on the show, the problem is just that Alan Ball is in love with Bill (no idea why) and always tries to prop him up and give him major screen time, while he shortens Erics screen time; its so annoying, its obvious that Eric is one of the big main attractions of the show and still they always shove Bill down our throats, thats one of the reasons why I hate Bill; there were not even questions for Bill on the panel...LOL

[@kengipidy]

5:50 Claudia? CLAUDINE.

[@Colidape]

@Liz86000 Amen that's y I don't watch the show with girls

[@pupyup12]

i don't get why they laugh after she says thank you

[@themightysian]

People need to stop complaining about Bill and Sookie, if they get back together then they get back together, then we have the whole chase with Eric back. How boring would it be if from now on it's just going to be Eric and Sookie playing happy families (and yes, while a few select fans would love to watch many seasons of just that, the rest would not)

[@PhoenixsArt]

I dont understand people. yes Eric is great but Bill is a wonderful character too. and this is Alans vision, he wont change the line he choose (whatever it is) just to please a group of fans. you cant make everyone happy. complaining is so stupid. tbh i dont really like how Alex acts on public...guess ist his nordic coldness

[@Aveo00]

@AnneMarieBardoI just realized that I have seen several comments from you in the past and you are one of the 5 bill fans on here who always try to defend here...LOL

[@icarium1505]

I also want to add that I do hope the show doesn't stray to far from the books however because I love the Eric and Sookie relationship because they get on so well and get each others humour and well you need to laugh don't you. I do understand its not the book and he could go a different route I just hope not. Also it would send a bad image to girls out there if Sookie got back with Bill after being betrayed so much, Bill does have his good moments but I prefer Eric. I like all their accents.

[@pollitah7078]

And that had everything to do with my transition to "team" Eric... So after the 3rd episode of the 4th season I literally read (4th,5th,6th,7th,8th,9th,10th) books in that week and fell even more in love.. As for all the things Eric did to Sookie (show).. In his defense I think she was growing on him.. and in the 3rd season especially.. You see that he does these bad things for a good reason.. Idk .. That's my opinion. ahaha :)

[@pollitah7078]

@AnneMarieBardot Um.. I honestly can't answer that question now that I know you've read the books.. See for me, I started on the show.. and I read the first book and I was a Bill girl.. But then... Somewhere in the 3rd season.. I just got tired of Bill.. I never hated Eric or thought of him as villain because um.... come on, all vampires are villains in one sense or another so I think it's unfair that Eric is the "bad guy" anyway, Alex Skars is soooooooo hot

[@AngelicaMJJ]

Wonder why she looked so sad then.. maybe she wasn't very excited about being a vampire lol

[@AnneMarieBardot]

I don't understand why everyone loves Eric.. he's been so bad to Sookie until now ahahaha girls truly love bad boys xD I don't mind if she ends up with either of them (:

[@ashleigh738]

@Alyshamyre20 I wonder that too! I wouldn't like her to end up with Eric, well cuz....that'll make me jealous haha!!! No but seriously id like her to end up with Alcide. I did want her to end up with bill, But after watching the first few episodes of this season i really hate him now!!

[@PeachezBrown2025]

;p

[@Liz86000]

@babyamom2004 For God's sake, you're getting the amnesia storyline and you're still not happy?? God, the Eric fanbase is so whiny and apparently can't make a difference between books & the show...

[@guest25951]

alex seems to have been a little deaf. maybe has a swimmer's ear? actually, i think other than rutina, everyone there seems pretty happy to be there. maybe she's a bit bored. but this thing about alex is getting ridiculous... yeah eric northman is awesome, but really? and i hate how they keep singling out the sex in true blood. yeah it's a part of the show, but that's all it is. i feel bad for the totally ignored people.

[@ashlover5]

@babyamom2004 Seriously!!! Everyone needs to loose all hope for Bill and Sookie. Yeah, they're dating in real life, but who cares!!!! It's all about Eric now!!!!

[@MrsNorthmanx]

7:06 love how Ryan apologises for coughing... xD

[@MarkFaust]

ughh, enough with the sookie/eric shit. I'm trying NOT to be offensive to the woman's point of view of it, but i've seen TOO many shows get ruined by the writers caving in to womens "wishes". PLEASE STOP.

[@dirty06maggot]

i dont want sookie eric. mainly cause i don't like sookie

[@Aveo00]

@babyamom2004 And thats the problem, Alan Ball seems to dislike Eric Sookie and I don´t know why, his obsession with Bill is getting annoying; not even on the Comic con anyone was asking a question about Queen Bill; Alan Ball should stop trying to shove his Bill love agenda down our throats and give the audience what they want; bill sookie also don´t reunite in the books so it would be a travesty if that would happen on the show.

[@KurtSteph87]

Ugh I hate senseless liberal remarks, especially when the show has nothing to do with politics. Please keep your left wing comments to yourself Alan, and focus on the show, since that's why you are holding that conference.

[@Wolfeyboy24]

to many woman watch tb
