1. I don't agree that vampirism is analogous to alcoholism. Though many alcholics do die when they go sober, alcohol is not needed to survive. Blood is needed for vampires. They cannot give it up.
2. I was raised Catholic (am closer to Episcopalianism now) so I disagree with the episode where Nick 'dies' and the angel says that he cannot go to heaven just because he's a vampire. In other words, no matter how many good deeds Nick does, he cannot get into heaven. I believe that Nick could get into heaven/be redeemed even though he's a vampire through his good works.
3. I thought it was odd that the vampires could not have a relationship with humans without wanting to kill them. IMO, I think there's a middle ground (taking some blood but not killing them. I would have liked to see Vachon and Tracey together.
