True Blood fans waited very patiently for this new season of the HBO show, so it is important that they are rewarded regularly for their patience and devotion to the sexy southern-fried vampire show. Lucky for you, it seems as though HBO agrees with these sentiments and has put out two new clips from this upcoming new episode for you to sink your teeth into (oh, vampire puns).

The first one shows some some of the vamps--including those highly-attractive fellows Bill and Eric (aka Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård)--getting put on some serious lockdown. The Authority this Guardian Roman has, eh?

The second clip shows newly-vampired Tara (also known as Rutina Wesley) looking well...agitated. Get out the Tru Blood! Lafayette's stink eye is one for the books.

What do you think about the new clips below; are you excited for Sunday's new episode?

True Blood airs Sundays at 9pm on HBO.
