Damon's the best character in VD but even then he's generic by TB standards. Elena's just a better looking Kristin Stewart while Sookie's actually got a personality, Bill's age and character is believable while Stefan isn't. Damon's a shallow character in comparision to Eric. Tara, Lafayette & Jason trump Bonnie, Caroline & Elena's brother respectively.

At it's core VD is just a less tedious Twilight, Twilight was the only reason it was made into a TV show and you can tell it's the main influence in it. True Blood turns the typical conventions on their heads though. It's unfair to compare them as TB just destroys VD in every way. I do like VD but it's ultimately fluff.
