I looked on google to see if anyone else was thinking Stephenie Meyer was inspired a bit from Southern Vampire Mysteries, and just to add, that book even has a “best friend” who is in love with Sookie (the main character), who is a shpeshifter (hmmm.. that all does sound familiar) came in a dream, huh Stephenie?

@Summer:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but True Blood is based off the books “Southern Vampire Mysteries,” and guess what? It was published about 4 years before “Twilight.” I, too, thought TB was a reversed “Twilight,” and was sad to find out that TB actually came first. :/

If anyone has seen HBO’s True Blood then you will obviously see similarities between the series and the new show, just a little jumbled. Its about how vampires dont feed on humans because they have a True Blood drink that gets them by. They move at superhuman speed and have the intoxicating scent about them that lures humans in and the boy vampire falls for the human girl. They switch it up though in that the human girl can read minds but for some reason cant read his and loves being with him because she doesnt have to hear his thoughts(hmm very familiar). Everyone tells her not to trust him or be with him but she cant control herself. And drinking their blood wont turn you into a vampire, but their saliva will heal your wounds. I swear at some points she should sue for copyright infringment

Another Alias fan! Seriously the best show ever…I will watch anything JJ puts out. I had the same thought about the weird baby story line too. I loved the ‘birth’ scene in Breaking Dawn, although I have to say that the very end of the book where Bella lets Edward into her head is my favorite part. Thanks for your blog, I loved it.

I was thinking the same thing, Jane! I’ll bet Stephenie Meyer caught the episode. If you haven’t seen her Myspace page in the last week, she has a Walter Bishop quote (the one about cows) from the first episode.

The pregnancy is Breaking Dawn was great. So unexpected, so contrary to our expectations of reading about Edward and Bella at Dartmouth. And, once again, she hit on something real disguised as something fantastic–the idea that your fetus is a monstrous parasite that you love.

I think it’s good the pregnancy sped up, just so the plot didn’t drag.

The DeusExMachina, oh well. I was also irritated by unnecessary happy endings in Harry Potter. The House Cup should have gone to Slitherin in the first book.

I’m totally going to check out Fringe now.

Memarie Lane — Not surprising. Actually, I’m surprised I missed that episode. huh.

Stacy — I just don’t know. You read Orson Scott Card? I’m pretty sure Ender’s Game was a little bit inspired.

Did you watch Stephanie Meyer on Ellen? She thought of the story from a dream she had. (Ellen says, “Wow, you must sleep for a long time”. Ha ha.) Do you think stories about vampires can be inspired?
The last time we were in the temple, Jake came out and said, “I just got the craziest idea for a sci-fi book.” Maybe that was inspired. Maybe we’re losing out on our billions because he didn’t write it all down.

Actually it happened once on Star Trek TNG like 15 years ago. Some alien force floated into Deanna Troi's room while she was sleeping and knocked her up. The baby was born full term like a day later, and fully grown within a couple of weeks. When I first read about the fast pregnancy in Breaking Dawn this episode is what I thought of and wondered if that's where she got the idea. Memarie Lanes last blog post..A Smart Ass? Moi?
