Welcome to Truest Blood, the official True Blood podcast.

I'm Kristen Bauer, and I'm Deborah Ann Wool.

And you've been invited in.

I want to do bad things here.

On the truest blood.

Welcome back to Truest Blood, where we sink our fangs into the series, bite by bite.

So this marks the beginning of our final season of the podcast.

And we will be picking apart all of season seven, the last season of the show.

And interestingly, one of the most polarizing.

Our guests and we ourselves have a lot of

differing opinions on this one. So stay tuned for that tea. And we are kicking off the last season

of the podcast with a very, very important guest. Brian Buckner joins us to talk about his journey

from the writer's room starting all the way back in season one to show running this series for seasons six and seven.

I mean, what a, that must be just such a trip to go take over this enormous show at the end, the pressure of that.

You know, Bucky's funny and smart and talented, so, you know, we were lucky to have it.

So lovely. We love Bucky.

But first, we have to remind ourselves of all the shark jumping fun that was season seven.

So let's have a quick

bite. Season seven recap. Here we go.

Safer in pairs.

We're mid-mele.

The Hep V vamps are all over our heroes at Belflers.
