* LikeFatherLikeSon: Bill resented Lorena, his maker, because of the kind of (vampire) lifestyle she wanted him to lead. When it's his time to turn Jessica, ''she'' resents ''him'' because of the kind of lifestyle ''he'' wants her to lead. That said, the audience is typically on Bill's side in ''both'' situations, as both Lorena and Jessica initially want the "ItsAllAboutMe" "AMillionIsAStatistic" approach.

Now, Kick The Son Of A Bitch is not a trope, which is due to a TRS decision.


* KickTheSonOfABitch: Not many fans are upset about Violet killing RacistGrandma and JerkWithAHeartOfJerk [[spoiler:Maxine]]. In fact, the latter character is so insufferable that killing her is a large part of what earns Violet some DracoInLeatherPants treatment even after it becomes clear just how nasty she can be.

Better wording possibly?


A vampire romantically involved with Sookie. Turned during the American Civil War against his will, Bill shows more compassion for human life than many other vampires. He is outwardly expressive of his emotions and holds onto memories of his past human life, behaviors that are unique amongst his vampire peers.

* BerserkButton: Hurting anyone he loves and cares about, especially his "family". Also, you better not criticize Godric in Eric's presence. Or compare him to Bill Compton. Even trying to hurt Sookie. In fact, when it comes to Eric, do not mess with his maker, his two progenies, or his vampire sister and Sookie unless you have a death wish.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Deconstructed. On the one hand, Roman's goals for obtaining peace with humans turn out to be a necessity as humans outnumber vampires and are developing technology that put vampires at a disadvantage. He is also correct when he mentions that vampires can no longer indulge in their savage behavior like they used to because it's setting them back and preventing them from evolving as a species. That's also including Roman's knowledge that humans are not going to put up with being mistreated by the vampires and will strike back if provoked too far, [[spoiler: which is exactly what happens at the end of season 5.]] On the whole, his reasons for doing what he does are pretty understandable. There are two main problems though: The first is that Roman's methods for accomplishing his agenda are draconian in nature, and involve killing or punishing vampires who refuse to get on board with mainstreaming. The second is that he's basically trying to force an entire species of vampires to change their bigoted attitudes towards humans overnight, especially when they've spent centuries viewing humans as food or disposable commodities. It doesn't help that there are vampire groups like the Sanguinistas who see it as their God-Given right to esnalve, farm, and rape humans for their pleasure. The result is that Roman has isolated many vampires who are unhappy with mainstreaming, and some are angry enough that they want him dead. It's implied that the reason Chancellors like [[spoiler: Kibwe and Alexander]] turned out to be Sanguinistas is because they were growing disillusioned with mainstreaming and Roman's "my way or the highway" attitude. All of this results [[spoiler: in a coup orchestrated by Salome (who is also a Sanguinista) where she uses Russell Edgington to assassinate Roman and take over the Authority in an attempt to return things to the way they were.]] Everything goes to hell after that.

While we can use redirects (e.g. Nice Girl and Big Sister Instinct and Sex Goddess), we're not supposed to edit trope names like that and I commented out a couple examples that lack context in my opinion. We're also not supposed to spoiler out trope names.

* InformedAbility: According to Eric, Nora is suppose to be a political genius, and it's the reason Godric turned her and Salome later sponsored her promotion to Chancellor in the Authority. However, during her time at the Authority, we never really see why she's considered a good politician, and the choices she ends up making were not only idiotic, but also caused catastrophic damage for both humans and vampires. She spends the first half of season 5 locked in the Authority's dungeons after it's revealed she's a Sanguinista, and when she's finally released by Salome and put back on the council, she ends up going along with Bill's plan to bomb the true blood factories to force mainstreamers to feed on humans, and later orders vampires to start turning humans to create an army. Not only does this create an international crisis, but it ends up causing humans to turn hostlile against vampires, and later results in the Governor of Louisiana declaring martial law against vampires in the next season. What makes it egregious is that even after having a HeelFaceTurn, Nora acts surprised that humans reacted the way they did, claiming they've never risen up against vampires before, which causes Pam to blast Nora for her stupidity.
