    Default The Vampire Diaries

    Like Twilight except: better writing, better acting, and hotter cast. But not as hot as True Blood.

    Anyone else watching?

    Tonight's finale was awesome. The kiss! The fingers being chopped off! Loved it!

    You know, I've seen one episode, and I actually liked it. Hated True Blood, so I didn't expect to like this one, but I did. I still plan on getting my hands on all of the episodes.

    FYI: I love the Twilight movies. Deal with it, haters.

    Yeah, Vampire Diaries pisses all over True Blood, which is actually boring as hell.

    What a hell of a character Damon is, and what a performance as him by Ian Somerhalder. I thought the show was a bit cheesy to start off with, but it has really found its feet as compelling drama. Never liked Bonnie, and her leading to (SPOILER)Anna dying has not helped matters. Was also glad Katherine appeared. I was so certain she'd have to appear in the finale, but then it looked like she wouldn't and I was questioning what the smurf, but then BAM.

    I've begun watching it from the first episode, and I've seen two so far, and I must say that I love it and it looks promising. Watching episode three and four tonight.

    I haven't bothered with this because I thought it would just be kinda poo. I might try it if I have time though...

    When I watched the commercials for it, it looked lame so I never tried. But I trust your tastes, Miriel and Paul, so what is it about really? I might give it a try. I need a new show after I finished Six Feet Under. XD

    I watched about five minutes of it and thought it was terrible. Does is it get less like a teenage school drama as the series carries on? All I remember is two kids whining about their parent's death.

    Yeah, definitely heads away from that direction, although to start it is pretty heavily immersed in that. As I said, I think it picks up as it goes along, and a lot of the characters who I thought were twats grew on me, although some I still dislike.

    C'mon guys, this is on the CW, of course it's gonna have high school teenage drama. FOCUS ON THE HOT PEOPLE.



    Seriously though, it's a fast paced show that isn't afraid to have both violence and sex. I think it's fun and surprisingly well written.

    I don't mind the high school teenage drama. I watch Gossip Girl and used to watch One Tree Hill. My main problem with what I did watch was the two siblings whining about their dead parents. I hope I watched the right show :x

    I haven't seen the last episode yet (THANKS FOR THE SPOILER, PSY, I MARKED IT FOR YOU) but I love this show! It did start out really teen-dramay but has turned far more interesting. Also, Damon is a fabulous character. If it weren't for him I might not've stuck it out for the first few episodes, but he just gets better and better.

    ETA: That passes, Bunny. And then there are more topless boys.

    You're going to love it! One of the best finales I've seen in awhile. It was... hot. I'll just leave it at that.

    I just watched the finale and my jaw is still on the floor. (SPOILER)Katherine at the end? I sooo didn't see it coming. I was kinda gutted though, (SPOILER)the kiss was so hot and it wasn't even really Elena.

    Stefan and Elena's relationship is even more boring than Bella and Edward. And that is hard to achieve.

    Seriously. I do NOT remember him being so HOT in Lost. The part where he danced with Vicki at the start of the season was so beyond hot.

    I'm glad (SPOILER)John's dead, he was a boring smurfer. And I'm sooo happy they're going with the (possible spoiler even if you saw the episode) (SPOILER)werewolf storyline from the books. Doubtless all the Twihards will be screaming "Oh my god they're copying Stephenie Meyer's super genius original storylines!!!!!!!!!!" It irritates me to hell, if anything that silly cow copied 90% of her story from The Vampire Diries in the first place.

    I knew (SPOILER)that it was Katherine as soon as she pulled that ninja-vampire sneak up on John. It just clicked together for me at that point.

    Cause I thought that the (SPOILER)kiss was SO HOT! But totally out of character for Elena. But it had me gushing and OMGing throughout the whole scene.

    Ehehehee.
