Feb. 26th, 2010 12:26 pmDammit, so I caught the first ep of Vampire Diaries when it first came out, but the show didn't hold my interest. But with very few (well, my definition of very few prolly differs from yours, to me very few is less then 10 hours of non-repeats on the prime time schedule in a week) new things on these past couple of weeks, caught a couple of eps of this again, and these later eps have piqued my interest.
I'm not one of those Twilight freaks, but I suppose I do like shows about vampires. I mean, I watched Buffy and Angel and True Blood, caught some of Moonlight and Kindred. Of course, I could care less about the whole "forbidden" romance between a vampire and a human common in these things. I say, if you like them, then turn them! If it doesn't work out, oh well, what's the harm!? And I was also never into the whole brooding and lamenting their fate thing. Its like, "I have super speed and super strength and really hard to kill and can control people with my mind and have all other sorts of cool tricks". Oh boo hoo! Particularly in those mythologies where the vampires have some method of being able to go about in the daylight. Then the biggest problem is moot! What are they so sad about? That the people they care about will wither and die? Again, it doesn't have to be that way! Well, okay, if they all turned their friends and family, that would obviously lead to an overall problem. But some of these folks, they're kinda holier than thou if you think about it. They're all, "You don't know the kind of urges you'll have, the horrors you might end up committing!" So what, they're so great that they can manage it, but you apparently can't?
Anyways, I do like the secret connections between some of the various characters. And I didn't realize they've had somewhat famous hottie guest stars like Kelly Hu and Mia Kirshner. ( spoiler cut )
From vampires onto zombies. Read the latest issue (#70) of Walking Dead. ( spoiler cut )
