Observation Likely Made By Others

[jetpack_monkey]

From what I can tell (having seen the first five episodes of True Blood and only knowing S. Meyer's work by reputation):

True Blood = Twilight - Batshit Mormonism - Sparkles + Anna Paquin Being Awesome.

Discuss.

ETA: Formula updated to subtract Sparkles. From a comment by booster17.

Dear god, no! True Blood is waaaaay better than Twilight.

ETA: True Blood has complex characters with actual motivations other than plot contrivance, plots, suspense and genuine danger. No soulmates. No sparkling. No uterus-gnawing birth scenes.

And I don't think Sookie would ever go suicidal just because some guy left her.

Like I said. Minus the batshit.

Then there's nothing left.

And she'd kick some ass if someone stole her engine.
