Unpopular Opinions Meme!

Give me a fandom and I'll tell you three unpopular opinions about it. If you give me a show/book/movie/etc that I'm not fannishly active about, I'll give you three things I dislike about the media in question instead.

I...I mean, I feel like it would be the same as long as the same people were writing it? Just because the developments in their relationship are merely an extension of their actions in the whole text; Sookie's obliviousness and OOC blithe dismissal of vampire danger has been extending to everyone, Bill's condescending, self-righteous conviction he is correct in all things affects all of his interactions, not just their relationship.

Jessica is pretty much constantly seeking knowledge and affirmation from just about everyone around her, and is CLEARLY hurting for what Bill isn't giving her...

Yeah, that's the big one that I couldn't put my finger on. Argh, Bill, self-recriminations don't mean shit if you're just performing added whining while still hurting people. Jessica deserves so much better.

This is true.

She really does. It's interesting, because now that I think about it, it's the people her own age who treat her best (Tommy, Hoyt). Everyone else (Sookie, Bill, Pam) either inconsistently pays attention to her or act like she's an annoyance (or both). It's kind of a shame that the people who treat her best totally want into her pants /bitchy.

I find it very telling (and very believable) that Jessica really reached out to the online community while stuck in Bon Temps.
