You know, this chapter got me thinking: in a better story, this could slowly be the moment where Zoey starts to suspect that there's something up with Ferret, and starts going against everyone else's prejudice against Aphrodite and work with her. But what does she worry about instead? Getting caught out about Loren Blake instead! >.< And that whole Deus Ex Machina power or whatever it is was so hard to follow I didn't even bother.

The whole vampire prejudice from humans thing is better handled in True Blood, and actually do make a lot of good parallels with sexism, religion and racism. That comparison with Greenwood was no doubt insensitive and disgusting. And there is no evidence whatsoever that the vamps are victimised. Again, in a better story, Heifer would be seen as this loony tune religious bigot, but is actually in fact telling the truth about vampires, trying to convince the starry-eyed masses thinking vamps are all-knowing and awesome and romanticising them like in the media. He would know the truth and would be all alone in his battle to bring them down while trying to make people see he's more than just some religious psycho.

But, of course, I love Strawman Heifer, too. *sigh* I miss Heifer...

Too bad all the Casts can manage is silly teen girl 'angst' and creepy relationships :D It's like half the stuff they write or try to explain (like the stupid 'intuition' crap) is merely an afterthought and just throw it in later, rushing it all half-arsed so they can get back to the banal storylines like Loren and going about how 'hawt' people are (do you know how much it hurts to write 'hawt'? :P)
