I watched the pilot of The Vampire Diaries.
 

Well let's just say it was an experience that I'll never forget, Elena and Stefan lack any sort of chemistry or charisma full stop, constant montage Music playing in the background nearly made me want to scream, Elena's Brother is an annoying idiot, and was there really much going on in the episode other than Elena and Stefan's romance? Not really apart from Damon's very good 5 to 10 minutes towards the end, and the beautiful Bonnie's weird psychic abilities.

Now I know this show likes to kill a lot of people off in future episodes but is that all this show is good for? Or do some of the other characters actually develop well?

Damon and Elena are so much better as a couple. Dalena. :lovedup:

Very accurate description of the entire show there Mock

Damon is the best thing about the show. He's hilarious! :joker:

it looks like a soap opera with fangs. no thank you.

i held of watching vampire diaries for about 4 seasons. due to thinking yeah its just asilly love story type of show. but once you get into it , it pretty good. quite a bit changes it gets better as it goes on. damon rocks. as does the originals when they turn up
you got the whole brotherly hate love thing going on and the love triangle but i just love the sarcasim from damon.

i'm waiting for season 5 to end so i can binge watch it :)

It has the odd bit of good writing, the Season 1 and Season 2 finales were great but as soon as Damon and Elena got into a rleationship it went downhill big time and everyone stopped caring about them, the whole Originals storyline I found pretty interesting. Klaus, Rebeckah and Elijah are all great characters who carried the show from Season 2 onwards but nowadays it is one big mess that needs to end

I love the show. :love:

It's not really my type of show anyway but against my better judgement I still gave it a shot anyway as I know that a lot of people love the programme so I wanted to see what it was like, but when everybody bar two characters are irredeemably annoying then I can't go back for more unless I hear anything special happens.

Who was your favourite character Mocky?

Damon.

Get out now Mock before you watch any more of that rubbish

:joker:

Don't worry I don't think that I am coming back tbh. Stefan was just too bad for me to give the show a second chance I think.

Elena looks like Amy Pond from Doctor Who in that picture.:joker:

One thing I've got to give TVD writers is that they know how to cast beautiful looking girls for their programmes, I mean The Secret Circle did very well with Faye and Melissa in particular.

The first 2 series are good and worth a watch but by series 5 Elena, Damon and Stefan are pretty much insufferable. It's the side characters that keep it interesting now.

The first series was rubbish, the second and third series were better than they had any right to be and it went downhill after that.

It gets better, great show

I agree about the show getting better. After a few eps it starts to improve, and I think during the 2nd season Damon has some great one liners, and there's the dark humor that runs through it. Sometimes the characters can be annoying and hypocritical, but there's always good storylines going and plenty of spooky excitement.

Also if you stick with the Vamp Diaries after the 4th season you'll have it's sister show to watch, The Originals. It's just as good, but with a totally different atmosphere.

I love both shows, but prefer Vampire Diaries, because of Damon. :hugesmile:

I watched two thirds of the first season last year. I had to stop as I was losing the will to live.

That lead girl cannot act.

Damon makes the show tbh, and Im not just saying that because he is stunning..I really like his character.

Hes better when 'bad' though, hes quite boring when he goes mushy.

I dislike all of the elana/stephen stuff..

Yeah. Damon is much more fun when he's bad. :devil:

What Vicky said about damon i love him when hes bad ^_^. i binge watched this last summer and i still like it but i dont really know hows its gonna end

Damon is the worst atm. I can't cope with all the I'M BAD FOR YOU ELENA break ups in every episode :umm2:
