And Jason + Andy as the most clueless, crime fighting surrogate father/son team of all time? Classic!
Really brilliant! Now all they need is for Sookie to stop being such a victim all the time...
Poor Buffy. Your life resists all things average.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
but see, I don't think they (the writers) see Sookie as being a victim. Bad things happen to her, sure, but she is a fighter and she is trying to save Bill.
I don't think she always looks before she leaps. She needs to think 4-5 steps down the road.

Yeah, but Bill is always having to save her.
So much hotness in the first episode of S3! Bill has more chemistry in that scene with Sam than in all his scenes with Sookie put together.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
And I know the books and the show are different, but in the first couple of books and therefore in the first two seasons, she's 23.
23, small-town, not a huge amount of human (er, inhuman, either) social experience.
Saving yourself is something you learn, whether sooner or later. She's developing, and I think that's realistic.

True - we're used to Buffy saving the world a lot before she was 23.

Yup, and Buffy had super-strength, not a mental power. And it's not even a blowing shit up power (so far, mostly) so yes, someone with superstrength has saved her quite a few times.
Let's not forget how (a little dumb) but how badly she fucked up the Rattrays with a length of chain and a serving pad.

Kind of in-betweeny this week. Although, Franklin is the most vampirey vampire (well, aside from Pam) on the show, I think.
Poor Jason - trying to figure out where he fits.
