TB: 5 million viewers every week
VD: Not even 2.80 and losing viewers every season that goes by.

So... you obviously have not seen the show, because Vampire Dairies has never done a monster of the week format. The rest of your post is a succinct summation of TB... only the girl is in her mid twenties. ZOMG TWIST!!!!

Also... It's humorous you think Elena is a Mary Sue who can do no wrong... she is the stupidest character on the show. How clear are you trying to be with the fact that you haven't watched VD? All Elena does is f@ck up and make situations worse for ever one involved. Sookie on the other hand, now that is a Mary Sue. Perfect do know wrong, fairy power woman that everyone loves. Yawn.

Enjoy being a post menopausal women I guess.

How many Emmies has VD won?
Not a single one because it is a crappy tv show for teenage girls.

TB is for grown ups. Beneath all the gore and sex there's a message of tolerance.

VD is just another teeny bopper bubble gum pony tail boyband new direction justin bieber shtick. TB is the real deal. grown up drama. with social commentary added to it

You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

I had girls tell me to watch VD but I wouldn't because I thought the same as you. When I did watch it I realized the show had alot more to offer than True Blood.

And the Damon kills Bill no probs. He has too many advantages. Including the ability to hunt in sunlight.

TB have better critics and a bigger fanbase.

Vampire wearing rings that allow them to walk under the sun. Well at least they don't glitter. 🙄

Lol whatever. You're obviously a tween who loves this kind of stuff.

If I were a tween I'd be watching VD thinking it's the best thing ever.

Despite being aimed at Twilight lovers, VD is generally the better written show.

As for which vampires are stronger, other than the whole invulnerability thing that the Originals have, the vamps in TB are more impressive. The older vamps in TB are strong as hell, and vamps in VD for some reason don't have the reflexes to match their speed. It has been shown several times on that show that vamps have trouble seeing even younger vamps moving at super speeds.

It's the same on TB. Bill and Jessica were shown to be equally fast... hell every time a vamp needs to move fast it is handled to exact same way, regardless of age. Based on feats they would all be equal, the only way we ever know a vampire is stronger is because the writers will throw in some sloppy exposition where one vampire says "I'm older than you, so I win!!!!" even though they all see exactly the same speed and strength on screen.

TB is worse at that than VD if anything.

Nah, Russell clearlyt moves way faster then other Vamps, and Eric tends to pull off some wicked speedblitzes.

No he doesn't. It's the exact same special effect for every vampire. There aren't vary degrees to represent the degrees of speed of each vampire, none of them are treated any different and when two vampires are shown blitzing on screen they are both equally fast regardless of their age. Russell is "faster" because we are told he is faster. No other reason. He's never been shown to be faster. Same goes for strength.

VD is handles speed the same way.

Btw, pretty sure the Originals have shown to be faster than other vamps.

Damon definitely showed he was faster than Caroline and hybrids.

The episode before getting killed Russel bitchslapped Salome and had her flying all across the room and crashing against one of the columns. Then he screamed I'm 3 thousand years old and I can kill them all right now if I wanted too. **** Lillith!! Then he left moving so fast non of them could react (or wished to)in time.
Eric only killed Russel because he attacked from behind while Russel was distracted by the fairies.

Yes but the point was if you look at how fast Russel moves in that scene, and compare it to another vampire moving in super speed in another scene, they are moving at the same speed because it's the same special effect being applied. I don't recall a scene where one vampire is moving faster than another at the same time - it's always one is just standing there or moving at human speed, then getting blitzed, and doesn't even SEE it coming.

Super speed has always been inconsistent at best. The main gripe I have is their reaction speed. For example, going by how fast young vampires could move, there is no way Sophie-Ann would've been hit that easily by those wooden bullets when she was killed - and she was ready for it.

It also was pretty ludicrous how super fast vampires couldn't catch Merlot when he shape shifted into a fly.

Just to add to the flamewar, TB is a joke in terms of presentation as any kind of serious vamp drama. As said by others despite its demographic, Vampire Diaries does a much better job in terms of quality writing, acting, and overall scope. It's also hard to take a show seriously when we have twins running around like they just showed up out of Aladdin and women shooting something from Charmed en masse to take down a vamp. It's not in any way up to snuff in comparison to other HBO series.

As far as a vs, the VD vamps seem to be able to take a lot more damage before being down and out. Add their ability to show up in sunlight and the fact that those hunting them are much more formidable I give it to VD.

Gotta go with TVD. The forth season of TVD was much better than TB's fourth season. And i am quite sure TVD WILL become the stronger verse. Because TB is a little ahead they have introduced more. Compare them at the same time of development and tvd would win a quality fight and a actual war.

VD. I like both shows but VD has Stefan, one of my favorite vampire characters.

Also, Klaus would kick Eric and Russels asses easily.

Bill wins hands down.

Anyone interested in battlezoning me over this in a one on one debate over which show is mightier ?

Its already obvious TB is a better show but ill prove they slaughter VD.
