I forgot to point that out. And I don't watch Vampire Diaries so I can't speak for it.
Mar- In Twilight, Bella moves in with her dad and starts a new school. Edward attends that school. That's how they met. And Jacob is the son of a friend of her Dad's.

See, you really shouldn't try to compare 3 shows when you don't know anything about 2 of the 3.
First of all, in TB, we don't know if anyone was sent to guard anyone. Just cuz that's what happens in the books, doesn't mean it will be on TB. The Twilight Saga and Vampire Diaries no one was sent to guard anybody at all whatsoever. As far as love triangles, The Twilight Saga really isn't a love triangle and the 3 main characters are Bella, Edward and Jacob, not Joseph. Really, get to know all three stories before comparing them...

Jacob. Twilight has Edward-Bella-Jacob.
But really, imho, I don't know if I would consider that a love triangle. Bella knows who has her heart.
Some people may disagree though.

Sugrc0atdlies:
All three Vampire shows seem to follow the same
"fourmula": Vampires are sent to "Guard a girl in
some town who's special in someway~she's a fairy,
or she's telepathic or who knows what.
Vampires either fall in love or betray her ?
Then theres the matter of the "love triangle":
In TrueBlood, that is Eric-Sookie-Bill~~ Sam
Twilight has: Edward-Bella-Joseph
vampire Diaries: Don't know the Triangle.

I LOLed at that! 
That's a great observation, Aaine. I hate that that didn't occur to me. Not to mention the fact that I'm comparing what happens with Sookie to what happens with everyone else. And we all know Sookie is "special."
I guess in the end, she'll end up like Bella in Breaking Dawn- her special abilities are what's going to save everyone.

Aaine posted: I have a theory about this V thing...surprise surprise lol. In a nutshell I think Sookie is a magical null.
This means a human who is unaffected by magic.
This is coming from the books, but also from Alan Balls comments about how Sookie is going to have other abilities in the show.
She can't be glamoured by vampires, and she isn't affected by the maenad - we've seen that already on TB.
In the books we've seen both of those things (the maenads effect on Sookie in the books was a response to the other humans going batty, not Calisto herself), as well as seeing her able to resist witches spells in Bk 3 and Bk 4. We haven't got that far on TB yet but we should see the first inkling of it when she goes to Josephine's (or whatever Ball calls it...can't imagine he will use that cheesy name) in season 3.
One of the Sookie short stories introduces the concept of a magical null - it hasn't been expanded on in the main books yet but it was mentioned a couple of times in the short story "Lucky" and I think it's something CH is saving up for later. I think Ball is about to run with it.
I think this is what the Glowy Hand of Fail is all about.
The hallucinations induced by vampire blood are a form of magic and if she is in fact a null, it would explain why it doesn't affect her in that way. Also explains why she didn't succumb to Maryanne, and why she can't be glamoured.
By George, Aaine, I think you've got it. Brilliant assessment/theory.

And I'm also guessing that if a person doesn't drink the blood from the source, it's not considered actually drinking that vamp's blood? Sookie took blood from Bill and Eric and therefore was bonded to them. But if you take V, I guess that blood is too old to bond you to the vamp that it came from?

Now that you mention it, yeah, I think they did. And also, in the show, i think the age of the blood itself was mentioned. *sigh* maybe i'm being hardheaded but that still doesn't make sense to me. You'd think the fresher the blood, the bigger the effects it would have. But it seems the opposite is true.
Eh, I guess in the end, it's not a big deal.

In the books, didn't they mention that it also had something to do with the age of the Vamp, and also, the direct feed?

Something that was bothering me until I watched episode 1.5 with the commentary on. And they addressed my issue but it still felt like a total cop out...
My problem was with the use of V. We saw what a whole vial of it did to Jason. We also saw what a drop of it did for him. And we know that lots of people use it as a drug. But yet Sookie has had a lot more than a vial of it in order to get better after injuries. And all it does is heal her and make her senses keener.
In the commentary, they mention that it all depends on the person as to how you'll react.
Maybe Sookie's reaction is the exception to the rule. I mean it's used as a drug. So obviously Jason's reaction is more the norm than Sookie's reaction was. I don't know. I'm probably being nit-picky again. It just kinda bothered me the HUGE difference in their reactions to V. Especially considering the huge difference in the amounts they ingested. All we got to see of sookie's reaction was her healing and her smelling a crumb on the floor. Poor Jason had to go have his johnson drained...and then he had even less and the trees were breathing and Tara became a godess of sorts.
