I mostly like the Jossverse stuff. I also really love the Sookie books notion about them not just being able to be alive in direct sunlight, but being pretty incapable of functioning during daylight hours, and having to have really special, secret, unknown sleeping places. I mean, on Buffy/Angel, the vamps seemed to not need sleep. And that I don't like. I also like the idea of vamp blood having a curative/superhuman effect, again like in Sookie books. (Don't know if TB follows these along).
And I like Dean's notion in SPN that vamps=evil. End of sentence. I'm kind of torn, really, on the impact the vamping has on humanity. I'm drawn to both the idea that all humanity/morality is GONE and you are evil (intellect could kind of stay, b/c I will forever be in love with the idea of soulless vampiric Giles) and the idea that they retain some of their own values/morals from humanity, but with a new layer of true bloodlust and need. Not sure on that one. *wibble*
