Trivia
Anna Paquin was pregnant during filming of season 5 in 2012. Her pregnancy was not written into the show. Instead, to accommodate her pregnancy, her stomach was hidden using props, loose fitting clothing and the camera would usually shoot her from the waist up. The season 5 finale aired on Aug. 26, 2012. Paquin gave birth a few weeks later in September 2012 to fraternal twins, a boy named Charlie, and a girl named Poppy. The father is Stephen Moyer, Paquin's husband and her "True Blood" co-star.

Just another episode of this insane show

For a season premiere this episode didn't feel any more interesting or special than any other episode we've seen so far. Particularly because there are so many storylines and so many things happening that it's hard to do anything new at this point. This episode had it's funny and weird moments and threw in some new plotlines, but there were also some continuing plotlines from previous seasons thrown in too. It's hard to predict where this season's gonna go, but there's one character that went through a major transformation and that's really the only plot that I think will be interesting, so hopefully they do some good things with that.
