So even if that is the only reason to keep me tuning in at this point it's reason enough.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965647842119649711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-83778285004005029372009-09-14T07:56:26.967-07:002009-09-14T07:56:26.967-07:00My problem (and my husband's problem) with the...My problem (and my husband's problem) with the show was the writing.

Not quite as P.G. as Twilight and not as rated 'R' as True Blood; a good mix for prime time. I had read the series so I knew it would have a 'darker' plot to it. I think to judge on the pilot episode is not giving it a fair shake. People need to give it a season and we'll see. . .Tiffanyhttp://finleyandeddie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-84877712780018687892009-09-13T07:55:21.260-07:002009-09-13T07:55:21.260-07:00I haven't read the books but I really enjoyed ...I haven't read the books but I really enjoyed the pilot.

But the thing that probably annoyed me the most about it was Stephan/Elena's relationship. There didn't seem to be much chemistry there. But I loved that Stephen defended Elena against Mr. Tanner and that Vicky is already in the show and bitten by the vamps (I always forget about her character).Heidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-46348608153117952662009-09-12T06:05:31.730-07:002009-09-12T06:05:31.730-07:00Ok, so I was going through my Dashboard on Blogger...Ok, so I was going through my Dashboard on Blogger and noticed the title of what you'd be watching last night. Eh, wasn't interested since it was Vampire Diaries. Not my thing. A few hours later I was flipping channels and totally forgot that the show was on. Well, there it was so I thought I'd just catch a glimpse before I moved on.<br /><br />Well, I didn't move on. :) I have ZERO interest in reading "Twilight" and haven't read "Vampire Diaries". I'm glad because this is all fresh for me. I really liked it and when it ended I thought, "Crap, another show I'm going to have to fit into my life!"<br /><br />As for the brothers, I found Stefan to be the cuties. Damon absolutely did nothing for me. I loved the brooding look in Stefan. The way he looked @ Elena, like he was looking into her soul. Hello big fella, you can look deeply into my eyes any day. *grin* Damon, eh, just not attractive. I was glad to go back to see that the pictures of what you were going to watch last night had the one of Stefan and not Damon. :)<br /><br />Thanks for planting this seed in my mind.<br /><br />~Mimi BMimi Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860967608697974293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-57104385691926676872009-09-11T19:00:57.470-07:002009-09-11T19:00:57.470-07:00I really liked it.
