Sookie Stackhouse: Who asked you? I-I can take care of myself.
Sam Merlotte: [yelling] I don't think so! Mac could have seriously cut you up last night!
Sookie Stackhouse: How do you know what Mac would have done?
Sam Merlotte: Now you're setting up a date with a vampire. What do you have, a death wish?
Sookie Stackhouse: No I don't have a death wish. I just happen to think that judging an enitre group of people based on the actions of a few individuals within that group is morally wrong!

Trivia
"True Blood" takes its name from the brand of synthetic blood that the Japanese have patented in Harris' novels. Vampires can actually drink it, thereby bypassing their need for human blood. See more »Goofs

Sookie Stackhouse is repeatedly described as 'Clairvoyant' though her only ability is to hear thought 'Telepathy'. Not sure if this ever comes up in the series proper but both here and at official site for the show the same mistake is made. Clairvoyance is linked to 'seeing' specifically what is not visible by normal means (generally distance or concealment).
Taken from Encarta: Clairvoyance Definition:
seeing what is not normally seen: the supposed ability to perceive things that are usually beyond the range of human senses
Mid-19th century. < French< clairvoyant "clear-sighted"
