Critics had predicted True Blood would dominate social media conversation this summer, and now statistics from Bluefin Labs show their forecasts were spot on.

The episode's performance surpasses showings for premium cable premieres of Game of Thrones (58,845 comments), Dexter (23,935), Eastbound & Down (13,672) and Boardwalk Empire (13,616).

On GetGlue, some 38,000 checked in and became the social entertainment platform's biggest premiere, beating out previous holder, Game of Thrones. "True Blood held the same title after it's premiere last season," GetGlue spokeswoman Claire Gendel tells Mashable.
