Vampire Diaries

[Huskerboy]

Anyone else been watching "Vampire Diaries" on The CW...? We watched last week and it wasn't bad... the episode tonight was rockin'! I'm thinkin' I'm hooked already! I've always had a "thing" for vampires... (I think they're HOT!) and this show with all the young hotties is feeding right into that!

[kingzulu]

i am not into tv watching more active but it seems that i might hit the gym a lil less this winter
i will give it a shot. i like what i see so far

[neoachilles]

I watched the first episode.

Was pretty much what I expected, a campy Twilight knockoff, but it was enjoyable enough. I'm gonna give it a few more episodes before I make up my mind though.

I was shocked to find though that the main actors are supposed to be playing highschool-aged characters x_x

I gotta say, I really like this show. I mean, it's completely obvious the network is trying to cash in on the Twilight/True Blood craze--but this show isn't that bad. I'm in it more for the struggle between the brothers, Damon and Stefan (hot damn, btw!), than the romance aspect, but I like it so far.

And Whisperer, you are absolutely right--who are they trying to kid with this whole high-school business? They could just as easily have made them college aged. I mean the little brother is supposed to be 15? Really? oh well...

[Blueboy369]

I was pleasantly surprised. The guys are cute and the special effects are good. I'll be watching every week.

[Conspiracies]

Ian Somerhalder is so hot and I also love the guy playing Matt. Hell, all the guys are extremely hot! Even Jeremy. He's fucking adorable. And it doesn't hurt that Damon and Stefan had a shirtless scene in the last episode.

I'm rooting for shirtless scenes with the entire cast every week. Who's with me?

[Blueboy369]

I just found out that the creator of the show is Kevin Williamson. He also created Dawson's creek and the Scream movies. I think he is openly gay, no wonder all the guys on the show are hot!

[RyanJ]

I don't love this show but don't hate it. I like it but I have to give it a few more episodes to give it a chance. It definitely is targeted towards the Twilight tween audience

[willsboy84]

I watched the premiere last week but haven't seen this week's yet.

All I can say is

Ian Somerhalder.

Dayem!

HELL YEAH!!! i was just saying in another thread that Ian never really did anything for me before this show, but he SOOOOO has my attention now!!!

to be honest, i think the show's off to a slow start, but between Ian, Paul Wesley and Zach Roerig, i'm more than willing to ride it out

can't remember the actor's name, but i really like the guy who plays Stefan's "uncle". anyone remember him from Nickelodeon's "Fifteen" from back in the early 90's. costarring a young Ryan Reynolds(boy's come a long ways)?

[giftart]

I am not expecting much yet. The first epi was good but not a good enough hook. But I am going to watch a few more epi. until I make a decision.

BUt there's alot of HOT guys!

[Huskerboy]

I'm rooting for shirtless scenes with the entire cast every week. Who's with me?

Count me in!

I can't wait 'til Thursday gets here!

[kingzulu]

i hope not i like this show already...

[pallenk]

i like this show. and i don't think it will be cancelled soon. it is getting really good ratings. i read that somewhere when i read the beautiful life got canceled.

[Royal Heart]

Oh yes. Paul Wesley (the actor who plays Stefan Salvatore) is such a very pretty man. I want one for Christmas.

[Huskerboy]

Oh yes. Paul Wesley (the actor who plays Stefan Salvatore) is such a very pretty man. I want one for Christmas.

Me, too!

However, if he's out of stock, I'll take Jeremy (Steven McQueen)... he is such a cutie! I just wanna pull him close and ... well...

I'm really starting to like this battle between the brothers! (And the shirtless scenes with the two of them are so freakin' hot!!!)

[neoachilles]

I love the brothers--Damon more than Stefan (I always go for the bad boys). However, I find that I want to see more of Elena's friend, the witch. I just really liked the scene where she lit the candles in the dining room. Nothing fancy, just a "wtf?" moment.

[CaptainRush]

I know the main girl, we were friends in high school at one point. I'm happy she's doing well.

[Linxus87]

Love it!

I don't see how this is a knockoff of Twilight though. Banking off the recent increase in interest for vampires, yes. But the show is based off the book, which, IIRC, was made years before Twilight.

I loved last night's episode, with the slam of Twilight. Had me rolling.

[Huskerboy]

...I find that I want to see more of Elena's friend, the witch. I just really liked the scene where she lit the candles in the dining room. Nothing fancy, just a "wtf?" moment.

I admit that was a surprise, but I always had a suspicion she'd play into the super natural end of things as time went on. And what about this little scene at the end? What's so important about the pocket watch? That little 'group' has me concerned... can't wait 'til next week!

[grantt]

Ian's looking real good. And now he is a bad boy. I like that.

[kayman23]

The show seems alright. The only thing worth looking at is the guys, and I seen the main girl has left Degrassi to be on this show.

[Blueboy369]

I think the group that wants the pocket watch may be vampire hunters or at least they know that the vampires have come back.

[neoachilles]

I love the fact that Jasmine Guy is part of the cast now, but is she really old enough to be Bonnie's grandmother?

[cityboy-stl]

I haven't started watching this yet. I thought about downloading the episodes from iTunes to get caught up.

One question: Is it as good as Supernatural? If not, I won't bother.

[kayman23]

Okay, this show is like crack y'all. It is really starting to fill the True Blood void for me. It's nowhere near as good as True Blood, but it'll do. It keeps getting better with each episode. I'm officially addicted to it so I hope it sticks around.

And as someone who was totally obsessed with the Vampire Chronicles as a teen, I gotta say that the Anne Rice shoutout in Ep 4 = awesome. Stefan and Damon remind me so much of Louis and Lestat. Weird I hadn't realized that before. I guess that's why it's drawing me in.

Elena is kinda growing on me now that she's cut back on acting like such a tool around Stefan. And Bonnie the witch chick is so adorable.

But, like I've said previously, they need to stop rushing things. Elena is already going to confront Stefan about being a vampire next episode. I haven't read the books so I really have no idea if things move along at a similarly quick pace in the bookverse. But yeah. Slow. Down. Plz.

Due to the CW network's target audience are young (white) girls, I think they want to keep them captivated by moving the storyline along without any bizarre plot devices.

[Blueboy369]

OMG, Who watched today. It was so fucking good! I'm surprised the show that much blood and gore!

[wrestling lover]

OMG! I literally love this show, its so "Buffyish"

I was sad that Damon killed his uncle, it came out of nowhere but the other two things that literally had me either jumping off my seat or gasping or BOTH was when Damon SNAPPED Vicki's neck, I really thought she was a goner but of course she never dies LOL! She's going to be a hilarious vampire lol. The other thing was when Stephan was having flashbacks of Katherine and SHE WAS THE ONE THAT TURNED HIM INTO A VAMPIRE! Absolutely shocking, of course if I was paying attention I should have saw that coming. I like Tyler and the lack of him sucks, he's a cutie. I'm expecting Vicki to kill him one day soon and I like him Tyler should hook up with Bonnie or Elena's ex can, she needs a man BADLY!

Can't wait for the next eppy!

[Blueboy369]

I loved that part! I gagged when Stephan said that the female vamp wanted the three of them to always be together. Kinky, I'm living!

[willsboy84]

the Damon/Vicki dancing scene was probably the best moment i've seen on the show. DAMN, that Ian's a sweet piece of ass!!!

[Huskerboy]

Yeah, the dance scene was pretty cool... Ian has nice genes!

I loved the twist where we learned that Katherine was the vampire that infected the 'boys'... I didn't see that one coming. I hope they work Jeremy into things a little more... he is fuckin' FINE!

I'm hooked... bad!

(We need a vampire smilie!!!!!)

[Blueboy369]

Hello Boys,
On last night's episode Tyler Lockwood was sullen and moody. It seems that he was upset about ,best friend, Mat's new girlfriend. Towards the end of the episode Mat notices his bad mood and tells Tyler "I like her so stop with the Bromance Bitch act"! Could Tyler Lockwood, resident bully of Mystic Falls, be struggling with his sexuality?

[Royal Heart]

If they introduce a major gay character then I'll have to praise this series above and beyond the oh-so pretty Paul Wesley's presence. I'm comfortable with that.

[Anton98]

Wait a minute, your telling me somebody is actually watching this show.

[wrestling lover]

I definitely saw sparks between him and Jeremy, thank god im not the only one that saw something different with Tyler

[Royal Heart]

^ Ahaha. Truthfully it's a lot better than Twilight. Not for writing, certainly...since they're both equally terrible, but the acting is much better than Twilight's performances. It's great 'vampire filler' while True Blood is off-air.

Tyler being gay would be an interesting choice.

I love that Twilight was actually referenced within the series as being "silly."

[Royal Heart]

Werewolves can still be gay. I want gay werewolves dammit!

[acjuju]

I want gay werewolves too damnit, lol. I was actually sensing they might do the gay angle with Tyler and Jeremy. I guess we can always hope. Supernatural gave us two men kissing last night, lets hope VD does the same only with younger and hotter guys.

[wrestling lover]

OMG HE'S A WEREWOLF???? I KNEW IT! Something was definitely up with that full moon scene, I sensed it lol. I want gay werewolfs too damnit lol

[wrestling lover]

I already miss this show lol

[joesman]

This show has more sparks that Twilight ever had. The blood letting is fast and gory and chilling. The characters are pretty well drawn, the story lines inventive and interesting.

[wrestling lover]

Everyone is hott while the leading lady from Twlight is fugly as hell lol

[Taescharmed]

The Vampire Diaries is doing fabulous in the ratings and I love it! Much better than Twilligt. It's a good one to watch while TB is off and reminds me so much of my beloved Dark Shadows!

[BigDestiny]

I just saw the season 2 premiere, after hearing all summer how good this show is and DAMN! I was hooked before the opening titles. I won't give out any spoilers, but anyone who posted on this thread that stopped watching should tune back in. I'm amazed how good this was.

And yeah, the eye candy is unbelievable.

[neoachilles]

Yeah, I enjoyed tonight's episode a lot. I'm feeling a bit optimistic about this season, so far. I do have to say that I am loving the various pieces of man candy--it's never a bad thing to have a little more Tyler thrown in, and his uncle...hello hottie!

[IMPALA]

Yup, im enjoying Vampire diaries, it was as slow start but im hooked now lol, anyone else think Tyler and his uncle are hot

[Skecher]

Vampire diaries is awesome and Ian, too

[Schizosan]

I didn't give this show a shot until its first season finished airing and I downloaded all the episodes. Must say Nina Dobrev has made a damn good transition from her Degrassi days, and she was equally fantastic in the season two premiere.

The men on the show, extra hot. Especially Ian and Steve. Can't wait to see what this new season has in store.

[IMPALA]

I read online somewhere that season 2 is going to have a gay character, so we can play the guess who game lol

[IMPALA]

This is what i read about the new character,

HollywoodNews.com: After the announcement that “90210″ will be following “Glee”’s lead in having one of the main male characters come out as gay, another popular CW show is following suit. Kevin Williamson, creator of “Vampire Diaries” and a supporter of GLSE (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network), reveals that a new gay character is coming to Mystic Falls when “Vampire Diaries” returns in the fall.

“My writing staff is just a mixture of gay or gay-friendly. We all just sit around and talk about ‘Glee’ and ‘Why don’t we have a gay character?’” he says. “Which character can be gay? Which character won’t? Where will it fit in? How can I get the gay character in? I don’t want to sound like I’m a militant about it, like THERE MUST BE A GAY CHARACTER, even though I am. It’s not just that, it’s also diversity. I always feel like I don’t have enough diversity on my show, and that is one of the things I’m very conscientious of, and not just gay characters. Any diversity. In anything, I want everyone represented. I want everybody on the show.”

[Schizosan]

Hm, I wonder who they'll have him lusting over. I vote Tyler or Jeremy.

[anchihiro]

Some woman on some dumb entertainment preview thing.... said that Tyler, that guy who is secretly a werewolf like his dad the mayor, will have a 'special' relationship with Jeremy.

Which to me sounds incredily hot, as are both actors.

But it does annoy me when just to bring the gay crowd for a series they change established characters who showed no signs of closeted homosexual behaviour, angst, or conflicting desires throughout the show.

If you're gonna have a gay charater great! But make it believable otherwise pandering to bring is this crowd, or that crowd, just makes a programme seem contrived and shit.
