If that is Ian Somerhold than it's because he was a whiny :bou::bou::bou::bou: in lost.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 totally didn't realise until he actually said (SPOILER)Katherine, ha ha.Originally Posted by Miriel
The foreshadowing at the start when (SPOILER)Elena dressed like Katherine to the end when Katherine was dressed as Elena was pretty cool now that I think about it.
It was out of character, especially as she was saying like 2 seconds ago STEFAN I LUFFS U BIG TIMES but I still didn't twig!
I did NOT know it was Katherine even when she cut off John's fingers. I'm getting bad at this. I sad about what's-her-name the vampire gf. I don't think Alaina's brother is going to survive that overdose. I think it was badly planned. I think it's funny that the actor is Steve McQueen. That's great. By the way, I think Tyler is a werewolf. It's kinda obvious as there's always a vamp-lycan rivalry in pretty much every supernatural setting. I think Ty's dad will back too.
I've never watched it. To me it just seems like a cheap knock-off of Buffy, True Blood and Twilight.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. Still, I don't intend to watch it.
It's better than two of those things imho!
I don't know if anything will ever top Buffy though.
I'm pretty sure nothing can be a cheap knock off of Twilight, since Twilight is the bottom of the barrel. It's strange to me that a movie franchise with millions and millions of dollars can't produce better quality entertainment than a show on one of the lowest rated networks. But I guess even with that much money, you can't polish a turd.
Buffy will always be the best vampire show ever. But Buffy is a completely different show from True Blood & Vampire Diaries. The tone of each show is pretty radically different.
The only way Buffy could ever been topped is if Joss Whedon was somehow involved with it.I don't know if anything will ever top Buffy though.
I agree with you. But when I say that Vampire Diaries is a knock-off (even of Twilight), it's because it's the latest show/movie to ride this vampire wave that's happened over the last couple of years, where all the new vampire franchises started to copy Buffy concerning the whole male vampire falling in love with human girl. Me calling it a knock off didn't necessarily have anything to do with the quality of the different franchises (because yes, Twilight is bad), but more with the chronology, if you know what I mean.I'm pretty sure nothing can be a cheap knock off of Twilight, since Twilight is the bottom of the barrel.

But, yeah. Buffy is probably my favourite show ever, and I also think True Blood is a pretty good show.

I'm giving myself a pat on the back! I totally knew (SPOILER)it was Katherine before anyone so far and I usually never figure that kind of crap out until they spell it out. When (SPOILER)she let Damon kiss her after all those long opportunities to reject him I was narrowy-eyed, but when (SPOILER)she said "I don't want to talk about it" I was like smurf YOU KATHERINE!
Good stuff.
...
...... and used to watch One Tree Hill.
I don't know who you are anymore.
Yes, I know. I am guilty of watching extremely corny teenage dramas. I also watch really bad movies for the hell of it. Pretty sure there is a connection.
Oh, and I only watched like the first season or so of One Tree Hill. I didn't watch it religiously or anything.
It is a knock-off, but I wouldn't call it cheap. At first, I didn't have much faith in it. It's a drama show like 90210 but with death and vampires (and magic... and I guess werewolves now). It reminds me of Witch Hunter Robin. Too much talk and no action until the very end. But it's just slightly better because there is actually more action interspersed within the show. Plus, I find it easy to get sucked into the show because... cue revelation gong... I like Damon. He's a jerk, but he's cool. Given the recent episode showing that Tyler may be werre-y, I think I can cut him some slack though I used to hate him.
Buffy and Angel both branched off course and were not even remotely about vampires anymore. Suddenly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was Buffy the Monster Slayer and then Buffy the Demon Slayer and had her own army. Angel's only connection to the vampire theme is that he himself is a vampire. That whole Wolf Ram Hart thing. What?
Firefly/Serenity. Sure, it's not about vampires. But it tops Buffy, imo.
Firefly does top Buffy, but the discussion was specifically about vampire television.
This show's obviously cashing in on the Twilight/True Blue/vampire love fad, but I really don't think you can call it a knock off of Twilight or Buffy, considering that the first Vampire Diaries were written before either of those came out (including the Buffy movie). The basic story is the same as in the book, even if the plot is different.
It's good that a lot of it is different, though, cos the books are kind of lame. (They're much more original than Twilight, but yeah. Not difficult) The vampires can't even have sex in the Vampire Diaries world. What the hell is that about? Like, not even that they don't WANT to, they CAN'T. It just seems demented to me, writing a series of books about this 'epic' love, and then a few books down the line the writer's like, oh yeah, by the way, none of these characters will EVER EVER have sex with each other. Why? WHY? I don't get it.
