The Vampire Dairies is interesting from the start, I watched halfway through the first season of True Blood and just got bored.. none of the characters were interesting.. the story was awful.. learning about the back ground of Damon/Stefan/Katherine in Season 1 was far more interesting then anything that happened in true blood
And look how much of a tit that Ginger vampire looks.. can you actually take him seriously?
Oh yeah and TVD Books follow a different story to the Series, they have already said that they are not going along with events in the books
