Question of the Week…
May 8th, 2008 | By Kallieross | Category: Question of the Week
Ok everyone…
On our last podcast we did not reveal what we would be discussing next week… but since we will be seeing Stephenie Meyer at a book signing this Saturday, we thought it would be appropriate for the show to be all about her! We will be talking about our experience meeting her, and we will also discuss some of the Q&A she has done in regards to Breaking Dawn… this is where the Question of the Week fits in…
What could Stephenie write in Breaking Dawn that would ruin the whole series for you?
Have fun answering this one!
If Bella left Edward and got with Jacob. That would ruin my whole entire Breaking Dawn and quite frankly the Twilight experience. But that won’t happen so let’s all be optimistic >.<
Alright one thing I think would ruin the whole twilight series for me is if Bella and Edward dies. I mean that’s an obvious bummer. But I don’t believe its completely unrealistic. We all know that Stephine Meyer has compared Bella and Edward to Romeo and Juliet. And nothing makes a story more dramatic then death.
sorry that the pessimistic in me had to come out for this comment 🙂
If Bella woke up and it was all a dream….not cool. There would be a lot of WTF’s coming from my mouth if that were to happen 🙂
If Edward died I would be heartbroken, also if he left Bella or if Bella ends up with Jacob. I just hope the book ends the series clearly if there is a cliff-hanger that wouldn’t necessarily ruin the series but it would make it frustrating.
Honestly I don’t think anything could ruin the series for me. Things ALREADY tick me off in the seires, but I eventually accept it.
So even if I’ll get mad, it’s not MY story, what happens happens.
DEAL WITH IT!!! XD
if Edward and Bella got their true Romeo and Juliet ending and both die. Depressed would be an understatement of what I would feel if that were true.
The worst thing for me would be if Jacob killed Edward. That would be awful for Bella, since she is in love with both. Edward is her soul mate and definitely the guy she should be with, but she also loves Jacob and the loss of Edward and the terrible act committed by Jacob would likely send her over the edge.
I guess what else could ruin it is if she wrote it from the POV of a person I dislike I listened to last week’s podcast and someone was saying that Breaking Dawn is going to be written from another person’s POV. This is the first time I heard that rumor, since I thought Breaking Dawn was supposed to be the last book written in Bella’s POV. If it has to be from anyone else’s POV, I would like Alice’s. She can offer a psychic insight to everything and would have an intimiate view of the Cullens and Bella.
I think that it’s stephenine’s story and I don’t think that there really is anything that will tick me off. If a character dies well then what can we do, read backwards??? I don’t think so. I guess what i’m tring to say is that with all the therory making and guessing about what will happen in breaking dawn I think that it’s really got me prepared for anything drastic in book four. What ever happens I will always and forever love twilight!!!!!!
If Bella ended up with Jacob I swear i would never recover and could never forgive Stephanie!!!!
Um…so many things that could potentially be disasterous to the delicate balance in Forks. I am sure that as far as I am concerned, three things could ruin the series for me. 1) If Jacob imprinted on Leah. Oh that would suck, I would be so angry! Hehe. (Go team Jacob!!!!!)
2)If things are left unresolved between Bella’s desire to be eternally damned, and Edward’s desire to keep her human. I just couldn’t cope with not knowing if Bella has a changeover or not!!
3)This is the most important!!!! If Bella killed Jacob in her newborn bloodlust frenzy! I would be utterly crushed and appalled!
Thanks for reading my rant 🙂
I have got to say that the WHOLE SEIRIES would be ruined for me if:
A. Bella ends up with Jacob
B. Edward and Bella aren’t together in the end (even if it has nothing to do with Jacob)
C. Bella and/or Edward dies.
(if any of these things happened, I would seriously burn my books and where black until my prep school uniform forces me to do otherwise)(but i would probably only burn Breaking Dawn)
It would be hard for her to really ruin the series for me because the first books were so well written. I will say though, that if she splits Edward and Bella up (in any shape or form through death or just breaking up or Bella never turning) I will NEVER forgive her! Not that it would necessarily RUIN it because I’m sure whatever she replaced the storyline with would be fun but I would be mad at her!
Mainly though, I think the book will be supremely well-written and the biggest issue I see is if she splits Edward and Bella up because that could shake my whole notion of the perfect love because I truly believe it exists…if she splits them up..it’s like she’s saying true love DOESN’T exist or it doesn’t matter!
Stephenie wouldn’t do that to us though…at least I HOPE she wouldn’t! :'( that would be tremendously sad and upsetting if she did! 🙁
If Bella left Edward, and went to be with Jacob, that would deffinatley ruin it for me. Also, if Edward doesn’t turn Bella into a vampire, then ther wouldn’t really be much excitement left in it for me. I also thins that Bella and Edward NEED to get married, and hopefully this will happen in Breaking Dawn! =)
Pure and simple: if Edward and Bella don’t even up together … it’s a love story – the best of our generation … and its greatness lies in the core love/relationship between Edward and Bella.
Well, for one thing, it would suck if the whole thing was just a dream. I mean, how predictable and pointless is that? Also, the whole series would be ruined if they live happily ever after-I know, I know. Some people might not agree with me. But just think about it-last sentece: and so Bella and Edward lived happily ever after, THE END. wouldn’t that be really stupid and fairytale-like? I would think so… the perfect ending would be a strange twist NOBODY has EVER even DREAMED of yet. 🙂
Hmmmmm…… I’m not sure that she could really “ruin” the series, but I think that if she killed off one of the Cullen’s like Alice, or Emmet. I think that it would be bad if she did do that because they play such important roles in the story mainly Alice. That or if Bella and Edward split up and she goes back to Jacob and they end up getting married, that would just be bad.
Probably if Edward was gay, died, only loved her just to get a taste of her blood, or just lost interest. If Bella died or woke up from a dream. Or decided to stick with Jacob (Team Edward, sorry!). I’m not sure if it would be terrible or hilarious if she spontaneously combusted like she said she’d do in Eclipse. “I’ll tell you what’s dangerous. I’m going to spontaneously combust one of these days… and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame.” Or if someone dies and Bella blames herself and gets all angsty, like it’s New Moon revisited.
A few months ago, I would have loved it if Jacob died. Then I realized that that would be terrible, because I bet Bella AND Edward would both carry that guilt, and it wouldn’t be a happy ending. So I’m going to have to add that it would ruin it for me if Jacob died.
It would seriously tick me off if:
A: Bella ends up with Jacob (Go team Edward!!!!!!)
B: If Edward and Bella die, UGH that would SUCK!!!!!
C: This is more of a statement… Jacob ahb-viously won’t imprint on Leah, because when Jacob described it to Bella, he said that the werewolves imprint when they see the person’s face for the FIRST time after they become a werewolf. But it would ruin the book for me if he didn’t imprint on someone. For me, there has to be a happy ending for ALL the main characters (or partly main characters).
Other than the obvious simultaneous sound of girls’ hearts breaking around the world if Bella and Edward were somehow separated permanently…
…it would really break my heart if Bella and Charlie parted on bad terms. While Bella’s relationship with Renee is somewhat consistent throughout the three books so far, we’ve watched her develop a quiet, but very emotionally close relationship with Charlie. Neither of them are ones for words, but we’ve really felt the connection build from the awkward moments when he picks Bella up from the airport, to the point where Charlie asks Bella to essentially say goodbye to him before she leaves. (Even the fact that his intuition tells him that Bella’s going to leave him someday really guts me.) If Bella really turns into a vampire and has to say goodbye to Charlie, I only hope that they can communicate their father-daughter love for one another in, at least, the bashful manner they normally do.
Side note:
E. Haberin…he’s totally my boyfriend! Eric 🙂
I told you I’d get him to leave a theory, Kallie!!! 🙂
I would be VERY upset if either:
1. Bella or <3 Edward <3 died 🙁
2. Bella left Edward for anyone
3. Bella and Edward didnt stay together.
4. Anyone in the Cullen family died
5. Jacob died
6. If it was a dream i would die 🙁
Anyway, I think anything stephanie does will be amazing, she is my inspiration and now I am writing a book- while trying not to copy twilight too too much 🙂 (hehe) anyways <3 u Steph, and I CANNOT wait until Breaking Dawn and Twilight the movie! xo <3
i would totally kill someone if Bella leaves Edward and gets with Jacob. and that someone will die. i know that Jacob wont die though because he is Stephenie’s favorite character (or so i’ve been told). also, just like Kassie and Kallie have been predicting, that someone will crash Bella and Edward’s wedding.
Over at twilight moms we had this discussion what’s the worst ending you could possibly think off? and taking page out their book here is a list of my favorite’s:
1) all of this is juts one of Bella’s dream
2) Edward is gay
3) Edward turns Bella just to get himself killed off and leaves Bella to live eternity alone
4) Bella ends up changing her mind and running off with Jacob
5) In the process of changing Bella, Edward kills her and then afterwards wipes his mouth and say “dang, that sucks but man was it good”
Anyways this are just a few of the crazy and masochistic endings us ladies at TM came up with.
The absolute worst thing would be for Bella to choose Jacob. He is a fantastic character, but let’s face it, no Edward. Yes, a small part of Bella will always love Jake, but her love for Edward is something bigger. Bella said that Jacob was her soul mate in a world without magic and myth, but since that is not the case, she better stay true to Edward.
well the things that would ruin breaking dawn for me would be:
-If Bella would change her mind and leave edward in thelast minute for jacob.(team EDWARD!!)
-if jacob would kill edward.(..i would throw the book against the wall or something on curse jacob forever)
-If Bella wouldn’t be changed into a vampire.
-If jacob manipulates bella in some way again so she would leave edward.(no comment D:<)
that would ruin the all of the books for me.
and i would be forced to burn breaking dawn.
and then probably be depressed for a couple of months. and write an angry letter to stephenie (:p)
it better not turn out like romeo and juliet D:
but i wont give my hopes up for a happy ending, not yet at least ;]
OKay, the worst things she can do to ruin Breaking Dawn, well, for me at least, are:
1) Make Bella choose Jacob
2)Bella won’t marry Edward
3)Bella won’t become a vampire
4)All of this was a dream(man, that would suck!)
5)Someone in the Cullen family or the pack dies(or Bella)
6)Edward leaves
And more…!! But these are the main reasons why I would throw Breaking Dawn away!
I think that it would ruin the whole series if Jacob died or even if he stopped being friends with Bella. I have been in love with Jacob ever since New Moon; and while I obviously know that Bella and Jacob will not end up together I would still love for them to remain close. Jacob is still an important part of her life (whether you like it or not Kassie), and I think that it should stay that way.
I don’t want BD to be written in another perspective and I don’t think it will be because Steph says that Bella will get to tell her story, so I’m not worried.
I would also be very angry if there was a power to change vamps back into humans because if the Cullens all turned back into humans they wouldn’t be incredibly gorgeous:(
The worst thing that Stephenie could write about would be if one of the main characters died like one of the Cullens. That would totally be heart-breaking!
Ok….
I bet my answers are the same as most people’s, but…
1. Bella not be turned. I mean, that’s what we’ve wanted since day 1
2. Edward not change her.
3. The Cullens be mortal
4. BD being told by Jacob
5. Edward or Bella dying–Romeo and Juliet has been used enuf in the series.
6. Bella not having what we consider to be a power–which i think just might happen. I mean, Rosalie, Emmet, Carlise, and Emse have “powers” but not “special” powers. (except maybe carlise and his awesome self control)
7. Jacob dying. Who am I supposed to hate? Unless he dies for bella, then it will be for a worthy cause.
8. Charlie remaining ignortant. I love the idea of hiim and sue, so he’d have to know about the wolves and vamps.
any combination of those would disappoint me.
I definitely think that if she wrote that Bella left Edward for Jacob or either Bella or Edward died it would totally ruin not only Breaking Dawn for me, but it would also ruin the entire series. It would be just like in Dawson’s creek where in the finale Joey ended up with Pacey instead of Dawson, I felt like I completely wasted my time watching the show all those years.
I hope it doesn’t come down to that because I think alot of people would be disappointed. By the way I just wanted to add that I love you guys show, there is definitely no other podcast out that is as good!
Hmmmm well, aside from the obvious (Jacob taking bella, someone dying, etc), I think the worst thing that could happen would be for Jacob to never ever find someone to be with, or be happy. I know everyone is hoping that someone won’t die, like me, but I would be heartbroken if Jake’s heart was left forever torn!!! 🙁
the worst thing stephenie meyer could EVER do in breaking dawn is kill edward and jacob and leave bella to mike.
The absolute worst things that could happen for me are:
1. Bella and Edward don’t get married or end up together
2. if Bella doesn’t become a vampire.
3. Bella and or Edward die
4. if Bella ends up with Jacob
5. Jacob dies. Not because I’m a huge Jacob fan or anything, but because Bella would feel awful and sad, and then Edward would feel awful seeing her like that blah blah blah……..
I’m also pretty sad that breaking Dawn won’t be in Bella’s perspective. I really liked being in side her head. lol
I was really looking forward to that.
I will throw a fit (worthy of Bella of course), if Bella’s transformation ends the book. I want to know what happens when she’s a vampire, what’s her talent, etc. I don’t want a ‘she’s transformed and they live happily ever after’ ending. Give me burned in flames or riding off into the sunset please!!!
Kudos to the show! Keep singing Kassie!
Jena
P.S. I have to agree with Stephenie that you are the best Twilight podcast out there….and I can honestly say that I tried them all before I found you!
ummm well to start
1) edward could die
2) bella could die
3) bella could leave edward for jacob =[
4) any of the cullens could die
5) good people could die
=[[[[[ i hope none of these things will happen
i want to be jane in the movie sooo badly …
Stephanie if you see this you can check me out on myspace at myspace.com/hi_im_bambi

please please please
Easy question…If Bella ends up with Jacob. Bleck.
If Edward and Bella aren’t together in the end.
If Bella and/or Edward dies.
Too horrible to think of.
The worst thing that would ruin Breaking Dawn for me is that Edward dies. It would be sad. Charlie dying would also ruin it for me. Finding out that Bella isn’t a vampire.
I have a tall order. But pretty much what everyone is saying…
1) Bella must change
2) Edward must fulfill Bella’s wish of… trying something… before she is changed… 🙂
AND OF COURSE
3) Bella and Edward must stay together in the end!
IF ANY OF THE VAMPIRES LOST THEIR BEAUTY!!!!!!! I can’t imagine Edward losing any of his beauty! Or any of the Cullens for that matter! I, along with everyone else, have fallen in love with Edward as he is, and he better stay the same!!
I would hate to see Bella,after she’s changed, to go blood crazy and be lured by the Volturri,and end up being a horribly evil vampire.(though I know we all know that wouldnt happen, but that was the worst thing that poped into my head).
Oh, wait, I just thought of something worse: If Bella’s power ended up being that she could change vampires back into humans. That would be awful.(To me that power seems pointless)
I think if something stopped Bella from becoming a Vampire, it wouldn’t quite ruin the whole series, but i’d be very disapointed and put out. Stephenie’s been leading up to Bella’s change since the end of Twilight! Just get on with it goshdarnit! What would frustrate me most about Bella not changing into a vampire would be that, because she didn’t change, her and Edward can’t be together forever, which would be bad for both of them.
So I see a lot of deaths listed here! But worse than death……what if Bella’s vampire ‘gift’ prevents Bella and Edward from been together. To live for eternity, in passionate love with each other, but unable to be together. That would be the most painful existence for both of them, and the biggest let down for me!! Do not take this to mean that I think this is a possibilty. It is just about the worst thing I could think of that would ruin the series for me. Transformation of Bella or not, what would be the point of all that Bella and Edward have endured if in the end they can not live together forever?? Whether it be a human forever, or a vampire forever, they need to be with each other!!
Hey! My name is Nicole and I just found your site, and I am deeply in love with your podcast!
So I think the worst thing that could happen in Breaking Dawn would be for Edward and Bella to not live with each other forever!!!!! If something happened with their relationship, or one of them, I would be so completely heartbroken! I know everyone else has said this, but Bella and Edward are soul mates! These books have put me in the best mood for the past month, really strange, but I welcome the obsession!
Cant wait for the podcast!!!
Edward becoming human (LAME!!!) or the wedding not happening.
The thing she could do that would ruin it for me would be to end things too happily, or without much of a catastrophe. The conflict in this book better be excruciating or I’m going to be disappointed. I’m not saying that the resolution can’t be blissful, but that there also should be a good amount of heartache as well. I hope it’s bittersweet. If it’s all too happy and gushy, I’ll be ashamed to call myself a fan.
I’d hate to see Edward die and have Bella survive, because of Bella’s reaction to it. It’d be like New Moon, except 1000 times worse, and quite frankely I wouldn’t want to see one of my favorite literary characters go off themselves or go into some depression coma. Vice versa on why I don’t want to see Bella die.
I’d also hate to see one of the other cullens or pack members die, especially if it were in a situation where they were defending Bella, because she would blame herself. And honestly, could you ever look at Emily or Jasper again if Sam or Alice died?
If Edward and Bella don’t end up together (BIG HUGE BUMMER!!).
