Also note the odd name.  Her friend and  brother both know of her mind reading abilities, but others just call her a psychic.  Also note her possible telekinesis in the fight.On the mind reading, I think she can hear surface thoughts at will and as a matter of fact seems to need to concentrate to block them.  But she has to focus, and perhaps needs physical contact, to read deeper thoughts.By the end of the episode I'm pretty sure she doesn't have physical abilities, but her mental skills are impressive.  Could Sookie be short for something like...succubus?  It would fit the sexual theme of the show.  [/sblock]Yeah, I noticed the dog too.  And the mention of werewolves ("but I know they aren't real") seemed to be a bit of foreshadowing.</blockquote>
