"True Blood" season five premiere: "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
(CBS News) HBO's "True Blood" returned for a fifth season on Sunday, picking up right where season four left off.
Full of blood, violence and nudity, the episode aimed to clear up a few cliffhangers and introduce some new conflicts.

The episode, "Turn! Turn! Turn!," took its title from the classic Byrds song with the lyrics: "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." It turned out to be a fitting title for the episode, which saw turn of events.
TV Guide summed up the first part of the episode nicely: "In just the first hour, Eric and Bill, with the help of Eric's 'incestuous' vampire sister Nora, have gone into hiding to avoid the wrath of the mysterious, nefarious Vampire Authority. We learn that Russell Edgington's concrete grave was just a temporary resting spot, and that he is now back among the mobile. Jessica, in her attempts to make human friends, realizes that being a vampire can be pretty cool."
Season four wrapped with Sookie (Anna Paquin) weeping over a dying Tara, and Sunday began with Sookie and Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) still reeling from Tara's shooting. The lingering question of whether Tara was really dead was solved: She gets turned into a vampire, the one thing she hates the most.
