Stephenie Meyer has journeyed away from the "Twilight" zone to create her first desert-based sci-fi tale with "The Host," the Andrew Niccol-directed adaptation for which hits theaters this weekend. However with all the current talk about the story's "love box," we realized there's definitely a running theme here within each of her stories: basic geometry.
Seriously! Think about it. In addition to being a supernatural story-slinger she's also a secret math wiz, which definitively explains why with each book she's been able to introduce a new variable or two and change the shape of the emotional constants involved just enough to create distinctly new formulas.
What began as a simple line between two hearts with the first "Twilight," for instance, wound up being a somehow still sensical rectangle of vampire-vampire-werewolf-hybrid entanglements. It all adds up!
So, sharpen up your pencils, students, because it's time to study some Stephenie Meyer-style story graphs.

However, the new offerings this spring such as Gcb, the sitcom Don’t Trust The B---- in Apartment 23, and heavier dramas The River and Shonda Rhimes’ new series Scandal.
AfterElton was there at the panels and ABC’s end-of-day party to chat with the stars and creative forces behind some of our favorites and the soon-to-be-favorites.
If Gcb star Kristen Chenoweth brings her gay following to the show, it could be a hit!
