We’ve been seeing the image below all over this morning and it’s going through the internet like wildfire. Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing same sex marriage and the legality of proposition 8 in California. Read more about it here.

Supporters of same-sex marriage (and their friends) are going to be seeing a lot of red today. Thousands of people on social networks – particularly Facebook and Twitter – are changing their profile pictures to an image of a red equal sign, indicating support for same-sex marriage.

This particular image is one being spread by the Human Right Campaign. The Facebook post HRC created this morning to spread the word about the image has been shared more than 18,000 times.

Well HBO’s True Blood has their own take on the image that supports the proposition, and we like it! We at the Vault, support the proposition and hope the outcome from the review by the US Supreme Court is favorable.

Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark will be the first countries where HBO programming will be made available without a pay-TV subscription. In a press conference yesterday in Stockholm, it was announced that HBO Nordic AB will launch in mid-October. The announcement came less than 24 hours after rival service Netflix made its own plans for Sweden known, they will launche before the end of the year.

In addition to the standalone launch of HBONordic.com, HBO Nordic AB will be available for less than 10 euros per month or as an add-on to basic pay-TV subscriptions in the region.

HBO Nordic AB will offer subtitled versions of the same programming available in the U.S., from original hit series like “True Blood” and “Boardwalk Empire” to theatrical content from the Time Warner-owned business’ output deals.

HBO Nordic AB will not only offer the same current programming as would be available to HBO linear channel subs, but will also feature content from its rival networks in the U.S., Showtime and Starz, which lack international businesses.

Not only was True Blood Sunday’s number 1 cable program with a 2.6 adults 18-49 rating, matching last week’s performance, but today at the HBO Television Critics Association event, the network Head, Michael Lombardo said that:

“for the time being, the series is firing on all cylinders and there is no reason to end it in the immediate future. The show’s obviously doing well … As long as it continues to be performing with the consumer, and more importantly exciting the storytellers, I think we’re there.”

We’re not surprised that True Blood is not ending any time soon just because Alan Ball is leaving as showrunner. Mark Hudis is very capable and many of the cast have expressed how  Alan now has a  very experienced team who are able to make it run smoothly so there doesn’t seem to be any reason for the show to end too soon.

However, even so, most HBO shows have a tendency to end after just six seasons — look at both “The Sopranos” and “Sex and the City.” The only show that has run longer than this in recent memory is “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and this really just happens based on what Larry David wants to do.

We do know for sure that “True Blood” has already been renewed for a sixth season, and it continues to be the most-watched show on the network when it comes to viewers within the 18-49 demographic. Let’s hope this trend continues for our favorite show!

Many Truebies would love to see their favorite vampire show, True Blood and other HBO hits like “The Sopranos” or “Game of Thrones” by streaming them to their TVs using their Netflix accounts but unfortunately, it’s not going to happen any time soon.  

Read more below from Reuters:

Netflix Inc CEO Reed Hastings raised the tantalizing possibility on Tuesday that his video rental company could partner with HBO, with which his company has jostled in the past, as it has with other television networks that supply programming.

HBO rushed to pour cold water on the possibilities that the Netflix CEO raised in a letter to shareholders, making it clear it had no intentions of making a deal with Hastings, who often singles out HBO as a chief competitor.

“We are not in discussions and have no plans to work with Netflix,” HBO spokesman Jeff Cusson said.

HBO offers current and past programs such as “Sex in the City” and “Boardwalk Empire” to its subscribers through HBO Go, an on-demand service available on computers, tablets and mobile phones.

Earlier this year, the premium cable channel, owned by Time Warner Inc, refused to sell to Netflix DVDs of “True Blood” and its other shows at the wholesale price it offers to retail stores.

Hastings has sought to downplay the rivalry with HBO, which sees Netflix’s service that streams movies and TV shows to TVs and other mobile devices as a competitor for the service it provides to cable subscribers.

“While we compete for content and viewing time with HBO, it is also possible we will find opportunities to work together – just as we do with other networks,” Hastings and Chief Financial Officer David Wells said in their letter.

Hastings did not say whether Netflix would license HBO’s programming or co-finance future shows.

The reference to HBO, he told analysts in a conference call after Netflix announced its earnings, was meant to highlight that “we’re just another network, and then when you have multiple networks, they often find ways of working together.”

No agreement with HBO is in the works, Hastings said in an interview.

“There is no current deal on the table,” he said.
