This is going to sound awfully po-faced but, given that Twilight appears to appeal to a greater proportion of females than males, wouldn't it have been nice if the female characters were portrayed so strongly that we may have been talking about Team Bella?
I'm a particular fan of the His Dark Materials trilogy and the focal character, Lyra, is portrayed as strong, independent, intelligent, and having a strong relationship with a powerful male character, but very much being an equal force in the relationship. I know this is completely off topic but children's literature is going to help define how the next generation of women (and men) think about themselves. It's kind of important.
It's an amazing trilogy. Apparently teenagers enjoy them but, to me, there are some very adult themes in the book. The author did a wonderful job of speaking on more than one level at once. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Have you seen the film yet? If not, I highly recommend it. I'm going to see it at least 4our more times!

You may have just gained yourself competition. :P
I'm sorry. i'm just angry because i could never choose a favorite. They're all so dreamy.
Uktena Theurge was fun, but nowhere near Ventrue with Presence and Dominate.
One of the best Vampire films to date. At least in my records it is.
Team Louis de Pointe du Lac. :)

Better than Angel.
I used to have nightmares every time I watched it when I was a kid, yet I ~kept freakin watching it~ all the time.
