with &lt;i&gt;True Blood&lt;/i&gt;, but it&amp;#39;s not about us. Never forget that we&amp;#39;re here for you - at least for these next two days, after which your humble correspondent will be &lt;a href="http://www.jakekalish.com/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, serving only himself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check &lt;a href="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/05/exclusive-first.html" target="_blank"&gt;it&lt;/a&gt; out. And this thing we&amp;#39;ve had together has been fun, hasn&amp;#39;t it? More fun than a show full of vampires... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/theremoteisland/2009/05/truebloodposter_l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/theremoteisland/2009/05/truebloodposter_l.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;June 14: “Nothing But the Blood”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A shocking
murder outside Merlotte’s has Bon Temps reeling. Meanwhile, Sookie’s
(Anna Paquin) relationship with Bill (Stephen Moyer) is tested when she
learns about Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), and of his involvement in her
uncle’s death. Sam (Sam Trammell) recalls a shape-shifting encounter he
had with Maryann (Michelle Forbes) as a 17-year-old.&amp;nbsp; Jason (Ryan
Kwanten) gets a sudden windfall that allows him to pay for a leadership
retreat with the Fellowship of the Sun. Two adversaries find themselves
sharing a mysterious dungeon and, possibly, the same fate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;June 21: “Keep This Party Going”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sookie is
forced to cope with Bill’s obligations to Jessica, as well as the
romantic inconveniences the teen vampire’s presence creates. At the
Light of Day leadership conference, Jason makes a favorable impression
on its ambitious leaders, Steve (Michael McMillian) and Sarah Newlin
(Anna Camp), though not on his jealous roommate Luke (Wes Brown).&amp;nbsp;
Maryann casts her spell on Merlotte’s patrons, and Sam proves helpless
to stop the revelry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;June 28: “Scratches”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Sookie is attacked by
a mysterious creature, Bill must enlist Eric’s (Alexander Skarsgård)
help to save her.&amp;nbsp; At the Light of Day retreat, Jason has second
thoughts about the sect’s anti-vampire agenda, but Sarah and Steve
counter his doubts with flattery and promises.&amp;nbsp; After snapping at Tara
(Rutina Wesley) and new employee Daphne (Ashley Jones), Sam decides to
cut and run. A bored Jessica heads over to Merlotte’s, where a smitten
Hoyt (Jim Parrack) falls under her spell. At another Maryann-hosted
party, Tara finds her attraction to Eggs (Mehcad Brooks) interrupted by
a swirling, aphrodisiac fog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t say we never did anything for you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;PREVIOUSLY:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/theremoteisland/archive/2009/04/20/quot-true-blood-quot-teaser-posters-sexier-the-second-time-around.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&amp;quot;True Blood&amp;quot; Teaser Posters: Sexier The Second Time Around?
