The Vampire Diaries

coming shortly on the CW..

thoughts? opinions?

CW trying to capitalize on the Twilight/true Blood fever. I'll check the pilot. Hopefully vampires wont turn into stupid diamonds when exposed to sun light!

yeah same her, after i watch the pilot i will decide or not to continue

I cant imagine it being as good as True Blood being on CW, they just are not allowed the freedoms of HBO. And you can see how trying to make it more kid friendly can make it pretty poor quality with Twilight so not sure how this will turn out.

Didn't the books this series is based on come out years before the Twilight series of books? Decade or so.

Kevin Williamson(Scream) has also written some of the series, so that could be interesting.

It's not something I will rush to watch on television but will give it a try, any good official trailers out for it?

All I could find on youtube were shitty fan made ones adding in characters from Heroes...

I'll give it a chance but if it's anything like Twilight then I'm not expecting anything to keep my intrested two episodes in.

For me Buffy, Angel and Ultraviolet are the three best vampire shows of recent years.

It looks to have more merit than Twilight. Granted, that's not saying much.

Hopefully, we'll find something that rivals the Buffy/Angel phenomenon in quality.

I don't think that will ever happen regarding buffy and angel, but you never know

Meh, it was all right.

i thought so too... i really wasn't expecting anyway.. i will watch the next epsisode though

I will, too.

It's a lot better than I thought it would be. Course I was expecting something as bad as Twilight movie so. I'll probably end up watching it again it semi-caught my interest.

They would first have to stop making Vampires go to school and being in love.

The Twilight/True Blood hype sure helped get an audience. Show had the biggest premiere in the history of CW.

Twilight lovers, I would imagine. I can just hear it now, them complaining that the Vampire Diaries "stole," their ideas from Twilight...completely ignorant that Twilight came out ten years after The Vampire Diaries.

Happens all the time. Any new MMO game that comes out people think is a rip off of World of Warcraft when that game copied tons from many others that came before it. Fanboys become blind by ignorance.

I watched it and was pleasantly surprised. It is massively superior to Twilight. Stefan is not made to be a Gary Stu like Edward nor is Elena as vapid as Bella. Damen [Damien?] at first came off cliched, but... after commercial break? Much more convincing.

7/10.

looking forward to watching the next episode on thursday

So far the Vampire Diaries doesnt have as much to offer as individual character depth goes in comparison to Twilight (which isn't reused ideas from other paranormal tv series)... we'll see though because I've only watched the first episode.

I'll keep watching it though and once it becomes tedious then I'll stop watching.

You both watched Twilight? 😘

anyways, haven't seen the show, but I'm mildly interested, so I might give a try
