Actually in the books Tara was a very boring white lady who had gone to school with Sookie and ran her own clothing boo-teek. She married a stupid but attractive boy that they were friends with in highschool named JB.

I like Tara from the show a zillion times better. She's actually one of my favourite characters.

Agreed.

Well because in the books it was less rapey. And Crystal wasn't in on it. In the books, remember, Crystal's ex boyfriend kidnapped Jason and held him captive and bit him every night so that he would turn into a panther - because he thought if Jason was a panther Crystal wouldn't want him any more.

I guess the whole "bring Jason into the family to add new blood to the line" storyline is a takeoff from the books where Calvin was always trying to court Sookie because he wanted HER to add new blood to the line. But at least in the books Calvin didn't want to tie up, drug, and rape anybody. Calvin was actually a pretty awesome guy in the books.
