I'm Watching The Vampire Diaries....


And I love it!!! I wasn't really expecting much from this show because I love vampire lore, I will be the first one to admit it. With that in mind, Buffy and Angel are among my top ten favorite tv shows and True Blood is a guilty pleasure of mine. So, where does TVD (as Tumblr fans enjoy calling it) fall for me? As of right now, where I am currently making my way towards the end of Season 1, I think it falls in a happy medium between the two shows for me.  True Blood is not a solid show anymore but it is still a fun show to watch for all the of the shirtless men running around. You get that with TVD. Buffy and Angel has characters you like and fairly intricate backstories for a lot of the characters. You get that with TVD. TVD also has some great acting from the main love triangle...oops I meant trio. I knew two of them (Nina and Ian) from before the show started with their previous tv shows (Degrassi: TNG and Lost respectively) and wasn't really impressed.  Boy, did that change! I also like the fact that yes, these vampires do brood a lot but they are also have to some life and some character....So, so far, my feelings are that TVD is a good show with a lot of potential and we'll see how I feel next week....My only complaint is that so far, Bonnie is useless. (What is up with modern vampire stories and whiny black female best friends?)
