The big question on "True Blood's" sixth season: Whom can you trust?
The Authority is no more. Bill (Stephen Moyer) has been born again with mysterious ancient vampire powers. Humans have risen up against supernaturals. And there's a vampire with a real taste for faerie blood who's after Sookie (Anna Paquin).
Just another season in Bon Temps.
HBO released three new sneak peek clips from Sunday's season premiere. They include Sookie happening upon another faerie half-blood, Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) once again questioning Pam's (Kristin Bauer van Straten) loyalty and Bill laying down the new law.
