Observation Likely Made By Others

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.

Having only seen the first two parts of Tru Blood, I still love it immensely. It's not a tv episodic Patient/Case-of-the-week type show, but feels like a lavish, almost BBC style adaptation from the books. Lovely, lovely stuff.

And I think your Twilight metapour needs a minus sparkles in it as well.
