Discuss the show here in detail if you choose

I have to say it is a bit Twilightish but I still am interested enough to continue watching it.

The chic ( I don't have names all down yet because well, just seen the one episode) that got bit and lived, I don't like her much and I hope they kill her off soon, lol. I am so mean

lol...I wonder if she has like "venom" in her now??

Also--I could've sworn that he was the one doing everything but i was his brother?! So I'm assuming his brother was the one that killed her parents?

He's obviously after her b/c it reminds him of the women he loved in the 1800, now is that supposed to be her like....born again??

Did you see previews for next week? I wonder if the brother is going to also enroll himself in school and the blonde chick is going to think she now has a "hot guy" after her? Obviously he's going to try to mess with the main character....blonde grl is going to get pissed b/c once again, she never gets anything and tries so hard, meanwhile the other chick doesn't even try and gets everything.

(as you can see I don't know any of the names either lol)

Yeah I thought it was him doing it too, the brother was a surprise!

Blond girl = annoying

I wasn't surprised by the brother, because I had seen the publicity shots that showed both men. Wasn't sure the actual relationship, but knew there was another vampire in the picture somewhere...

Anyone else here old enough to remember Dark Shadows?? The girl looking (maybe being the reincarnation of) like his one true love...very reminscent of Barnabas and Josette.
I think I like it so far though. Will continue to watch it and see.

I remember "Dark Shadows"... loved that show...

I've never heard of Dark Shadows :|

LOL that's so funny!
i agree i am interested enough to watch the next episode!

what i want to know, he came to mystic falls BEFORE even knowing about elaina? or he knew about her somehow and thats WHY he came to mystic falls??
====

hmm i kinda took it like, maybe she's the great grandaughter x100 or so of katherine??

or it might be like in bram stolkers dracula the one with gary oldman, where winona is reincarnated from the first love or something.

lol at the blonde girl falling for the other brother. and yah just goes to show when i comes to love. the less you try the easier you get...

me too. i knew it was the brother doing it. cause i had watched the preview promo trailer, that kinda hinted to it. so all episode i was just waiting for the evil brother to turn up! lol

i laughed at the bit when damien(?) takes the micky out of stephen when he does the face grrr thing lol!

well i for one, really enjoyed watching it! i'm looking forward to the next episode. it was a nice easy going introductory episode.

michelle i agree about the twilight bit. although i know that the books vampire diaries books came before the twilight books.

i just cant believe that one of my favourite books from when i was a kid, was the secret vampire, and it was by L J Smith, same author as the vampire diaries. i found it recently and am reading it again

I enjoyed it too

Echo - Witchlight was my favorite. Same series as Secret Vampire.

Witchlight? Secret Vampire?

Oneder - My comment was in response to Echo's...


The woman who wrote the books Viampire diaries also wrote those books. Sorry for the confusion ... little off topic

No, thanks for letting me know. I gotta get all these books

Here's an online link for the series Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. You can read the first 2 books - The Awakening and The Struggle - provided by the publisher Harper Teen. Few months ago they had the entire books online for people to read for free (I believe a promotion for the show). Now, I think it's only part of the books. Still something better than nothing .

I haven't watched the show yet but have recorded it to watch it sometime this week.

Michelle, you can check your local library for these books. I read them all by getting them from the library. Here's a list of all the L.J. Smith books in order.
