“True Buffy Blood”

Ok so I’m not trying to dis True Blood cause I loooooove TB, but I’ve seen alot of similarities between Buffy and True Blood, and from what I’ve seen online some other people made the same observation that I made. I’m actually making the comparison based mostly on Buffy’s S5 but obviously I’m gonna reference the entire series. So it goes.
Ok so starting with the obvious I do see a similarity when it comes to the trio.

So Sookie (Buffy) falls in love with Bill (Angel) but Eric (Spike) is attracted to Sookie (Buffy).


Now in reference to BTVS Season 5, the villain was Glorificus (Glory) A God like being that used innocent people by controlling their minds to help her create a tower to open the portal to another dimension. Something that Maryann managed to do on TB as well.

Both Taras were controlled by the villain, Glory drained Tara and made her loose her mind and act a fool, just like Maryann did with TB’s Tara.

Now let’s see, both shows have a spoiled bratty teenager Dawn (Buffy’s sister) and Jessica (Bills daughter per say).

Now to me TB’s Jason is Buffy’s Willow, they were both the laugh of the town, but in time they proved to be “badasses” Jason tried to save Tara and the rest of the town, as where Willow did the same for Tara when Glory controlled her and the other people. And let’s not forget that they lost their “goofy” ways right after their girlfriends got killed, Willow became more powerful when Tara was killed by someone who hated Buffy, and Jason’s girl got killed by Renee who was after Sookie too.

Now let’s talk about Sam and Xander, let’s see when the show started Sam was all “gaga” over Sookie, and Xander was “gaga” over Buffy when they first met. Also Xander dated Anyanka (a non human) and Sam started seeing that shapeshifter girl, (the pig) and they both died. And they were both overprotective too, Sam towards Sookie and Xander towards Buffy.

I also couldn’t help but notice that TB’s Lorena (Bill’s maker) kinda reminds me of Buffy’s Darla (Angel’s sire) and they are both vicious vampires that later realize that they love their vamps. Bill and Angel.

Both Buffy and Sookie lost their, mothers. (although Sookie lost her grandma but it was a motherly figure)

And obviously both shows have that one sarcastic, trendy, straight forward character. Lafayette and Cordelia. And let’s not forget that they both almost died causing them to change their attitude.

Like I said I”m a big fan of both shows and I’m just sharing with you the similarities that I saw while enjoying both shows.
All in all neither Sookie nor Buffy can do it alone, they need their gang or as the buffy fans would call it they both need the “scooby gang” and these characters are the ones that make the show a bit more entertaining. looking forward to season 3 of TB and I guess it’s time to bring out the DVD collection and watch BTVS one more time. “Once More With Feeling” <– Buffy reference..hehehehe =op
