Seriously. The first thing I thought of was the Glen Ridge rape case. Our Guys, indeed.

It's not the same thing. Our human blood does not make the recipient fall in love with us, nor are we then able to sense their feelings and emotions. If it was widely known that our blood did do those things, people would not like us very much. The best way to handle that problem (the empathetic connection) would be…

The worst — I mean, just the worst — part of the episode is when Stacey is told she is legally allowed to keep 5 dogs and 5 cats on her property, and the family, who just staged a fucking hoarding intervention for her, got all excited and gave Stacey congratulatory hugs. ENABLERS.

A red haze settled over my eyes while reading this. I just don't even.

They get vampire married. Without getting into spoilers too much, at the end of the last book, their relationship was not in a happy place.

Harris hasn't said Sookie wouldn't end up with a vampire, just that she hasn't met her true love yet. Or life partner or however they phrase it.

No. Theoretically, it's not something that is widely known. The vamps have enough trouble with drug addicts harvesting their blood to get high, I doubt they'd want to be institutionally harvested to heal injured humans.

Well, the article doesn't give a lot of details on this woman — how long she'd been here, if she was only visiting here, etc, etc. — but Amherst is pretty deadsville during the summer. If you don't see strollers out on the street, it's just as likely because hardly anyone is out and about. (Amherst and NOHO are also…

I bet those 'morning after' moments are really messed up. :)

I think the last local mental institution in the valley closed in the 80s. Northampton closed in 86 and the last couple of patients were gone by 1993.

During the summer, the college student population drops fantastically. Campus tours for all five colleges are generally done in the spring — in my recollection, the returning and new students won't be back for another week or so.

"She took an unnecessary risk based more on how she thinks things should be instead of dealing with the reality of her location/situation. "

You know that when you respond to comments like that, you promote them? Fellow stars, just resist the impulse!

I agree. I used to run around fairly unsupervised with the neighborhood kids when I was younger and have great memories of that part of my childhood. We're pretty liberal with our daughter — there aren't any friends in the area we live in now, but she'll take one of the dogs and go off exploring when she feels like…

Yeah, Amherst is a small town. There's other towns around there that are sketchy, but Amherst is the quintessential small New England college town.

Well, I can't speak for 'babies' per se, but when I did some time abroad in Tokyo, unattended, very young children wandering about on their own was extremely common. The first time I saw a five year old walking down the street by herself, in her school uniform, I totally freaked out and stopped the leader of the tour…

Crimes rates of an American city like Amherst? Have you lived in Amherst? I have. It's not exactly the mean streets. It's a wealthy college town.

My mother was 19 when she got pregnant and turned twenty the day she had me. I'm not gonna lie — when I passed twenty without having gotten knocked up, I gave myself a little mental high five.

It's all so character building! Toughen you up! Get you ready for the real world!

This. My family owns a funeral home (its been in our family since the 30s). My aunt was the first licensed female funeral director. My great-grandfather made a good, honest living running the business and we always say no that we're lucky he's not around to see what happened to the industry. Chain funeral homes and…
