I don't think Breaking Dawn will be steamy and sexual. I doubt Stephenie Meyer would allow it. No butts! LOL.
Em-
I think it will be steamy. Stephenie Meyer isn't about the whole nude thing or sharing sex scenes for everyone to read but that's the great thing about Breaking Dawn WE ALL HAVE OUR IMAGINATIONS. But your wrong that she won't allow it to be steamy or sexual.
Stephenie Meyer is no prude and her books are steamy WHY DO YOU THINK SHE HAS MILLIONS OF FANS ? Hello ....
You guys should do topics instead of these long episode round ups. I love them don't get me wrong but there too long and I would like some discussions about different things going on in the Vampire/Fantasy world.
Love you guys.
I have a topic who has lasting power in Hollywood the Twilight cast, Vampire Diaries or True blood ? And yes I'm talking about the main three. That would be a cool topic.
I love all three but I'm going with the Twilight cast for various reasons.
Stephenie Meyer doesn't have to show butt in her movies to make them steamy or sexy.
Have you seen The Notebook ? Things can be sexy in different ways. And Stephenie might share every sex detail and I see no reason too do that.
There's porn on t.v if you want that kind of stuff.
excuse me Stephenie might not share every sex detail use your imaginations.
Lynn! Don't lose faith in Jesus! :) I'm still holding onto the belief that he's not evil, but an actual positive force in LaLa's life! I also agree with Josh that both Lafayette and Jesus have the potential for their power to go either to the dark side or the light side.
I think the flash of that funky face was supposed to be an Aztec Jaguar warrior mask type thing. Jesus is Mexican and has a Jaguar tattoo, so I wanted to share a bit of info on Jaguars and their function in ancient Mesoamerican cultures.
From Wikipedia: "In Mesoamerica, the Olmec...developed a distinct "were-jaguar" motif of sculptures and figurines showing stylized jaguars or humans with jaguar characteristics. In the later Maya civilization, the jaguar was believed to facilitate communication between the living and the dead and to protect the royal household. The Maya saw these powerful felines as their companions in the spiritual world, and a number of Maya rulers bore names that incorporated the Mayan word for jaguar (b'alam in many of the Mayan languages). The Aztec civilization shared this image of the jaguar as the representative of the ruler and as a warrior. The Aztecs formed an elite warrior class known as the Jaguar Knights. In Aztec mythology, the jaguar was considered to be the totem animal of the powerful deity Tezcatlipoca."
I don't know if you've seen Mesoamerican artwork, but the warrior masks are pretty freaky, a lot like Samurai masks. So...I'm hoping that this is one case where Alan Ball (et. al) throw the audience a curve ball and thwart the expectation that Jesus is evil, because I love him and think he's dreamy!

Fun stuff!
Love the recaps! Keep up the good work!!
Benjamin is the one who can manipulate elements, like earth, wind, fire. He wanted to stay and help the Cullens, but his maker Amun didn't want to stay because he thought the Volturi was going to kill them all.
I am watching The Gates and I really like it. It has gotten a lot better since the beginning of the season. I do like the variety of supernatural beings in the show and how they're not focusing on one species every week.I love the little snarky comments between the vamps, wolves and the witches. I don't know how Sarah has remained so clueless as to what everyone is. And what the heck is Devon trying to make with the skin and eyeballs?? She creeps me out big time.
i also thought that pam was older than Bill. According to wikipedia in the books she is around 160 years old and was turned when Victoria was still a young queen. Book Bill was turned in 1868, making him around 140. On the show pam mentions being with Eric for a 100 years. I have had enough of the story with Jason and the high school kid, I don't see how that is relevant and would much rather watch someone else. I'm also sick of Lafeyette and Jesus story, i have no interest in them. I have to believe that Eric will be ok or else I think i will have to stop watching the show.
As always, I love the show and look forward to listening each week. Vampire Diaries in 1 week!!!! :)
I agree with Sia. In Twilight, the kissing scene in Bella's bedroom had to be toned down because Stephanie thought it was too steamy. I think Stephanie wouldn't allow anything that's too "adult". Don't expect anything out of True Blood, haha.
