Spoiler Alert: Twilight / New Moon

Let me start by saying that I haven’t read the books - yet. I actually had no intentions of seeing the movies either until a few months ago. My sister mentioned that she had not planned on watching the Twilight DVD, but did, ended up loving it & was now reading the books. I borrowed it figuring it was something to watch the next time my insomnia set in – which ended up being that night. And I watched it multiple times before giving it back to her. New Moon could not come to theatres soon enough. I’ve seen it twice already, and it’s only been out for less than two weeks.

At the end of Twilight (movie), Emmet, Alice & Jasper were all there in the background destroying James, when Carlisle & Edward were tending to Bella & her bleeding . I’m curious as to why Edward (whom I frequently & mistakenly call Edmond – don’t know why) had to be the one to suck the poison out of Bella. Carlisle is a doctor who is around blood constantly and can obviously control himself. Why did he make Edward do it instead of just doing it himself? I figured it was some kind of metaphor for E’s love for B if he could keep from killing her; end of story.

Cut to New Moon & the birthday scene. B’s paper cut is miniscule, and Jasper goes crazy. There’s blood, they’re in a small space, he wants her, I get it. But if you go back to the end of Twilight, isn’t B bleeding a whole lot more than now w/ the paper cut? I know she gets cut worse when E pushes her back, but he only pushed her bcz Jasper was going to get her. Why wouldn’t Jasper have gone after her at the ballet studio in Twilight when there was more blood? I mean, first she pulled a large shard of the shattered mirror out of her leg & when E tried to get her away from James, she ended up being flung across the floor that was covered in more shards of the shattered mirror. Did Jasper not notice this because he was too busy w/ James? This just doesn’t make sense to me.
