'True Blood' is the 'Twilight' for the Over 17 Soap Opera Crowd

You called Twilight "trashy" and two breaths later called it "an after school special." You seem to have some issues as to whether or not you like this genre.

...You're comparing a TV pilot to a Young Adult book.
And you say you've never read Harris' books, yet you can draw parallels between the two series?
Uh, it doesn't work that way.
Yeah, they ARE two different audiences, but why are you judging a book series you've never read to a pilot you saw based on them? It's HBO, they sex things up. Calling the Southern Vampire series 'Melrose Place' is like calling the Twilight series 'good literature.'
Get it together.

I just watched the pilot episode and I must saw......HOW THE FUCK DID THAT SHOW EVEN GET MADE?????? That shit was stupid! I don't know what s worse the writing or the stupid accents!!! I could barely sit through the whole episode!!! I cant believe Alan Ball the creator of Six Feet Under put his name on it.

OK first of all, Twilight nor any other work done by Stephenie Meyer is what I would consider "trashy". I also dont understand how Twilight can be "trashy" and "an after school special" at the same time. Im 21 years old and i love Twilight, my mom who is in her 50's loves Twilight too, so i dont think its fair to refer to it as a book for the 17 and under soap opera crowd. This article should not have included Twilight at all...the only similarity the two works of art hold is the vampire/human love issue. There are millions of differences, i think you used Twilight in the article to get more people to read it. Shame on you!
