shipperxI want a gif and/or an icon of Mad Men's Peggy hitting her head on her desk from last week. That would be a really, really useful gif/Icon.
Anyway, I think I've found something more annoying than fandom's tendency to say Bill Compton = Angel (no he isn't). and Eric Northman = Spike (No he isn't! I wish these analogies weren't given because they're giving me an irrational prejudice against Eric!). A couple of steps up the "No he isn't!" meter is this quote:
In what AU version? Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?!
Love or hate Bill or Eric on their own merits and weaknesses. They aren't characters from an Austen novel. Last I looked, Wickham's great crime was seducing girls and Darcy's was being an arrogant prig (who in Firth form was dreamy in a wet linen shirt). Neither of them dealt drugs, regularly murdered people, used to own slaves, chained victims in toture-themed basements making them poo in a bucket before dismembering them with their bare hands and teeth, broke their lovers neck and twisted it around during sex, schemed 1000 years for revenge, drained sad strippers in limos, threatened people into being drug dealers, left Tara to die, or a host of ever so much worse crimes than Wickham or Darcy could ever have dreamed of.

"If this show were Pride and Prejudice, would Bill=Wickham and Eric=Darcy? Bill throws Eric in a bad light whenever he can while his motives are definately not pure. Maybe at the end Sookie will realize Bill has been full of it and Eric is quietly helpful and competent."
