I tried to look far as back as I can, but then I got lazy so feel free to delete. I was just wondering if there are any fans of this show here? I saw it once or twice within the past few weeks and liked it, so I might start watching it. I'm also kind of pissed at myself for missing the 10 episode marathon. I could have caught up then.

I've been watching from the start. It's a pretty good show. No Buffy, of course, but still a decent show. And that Stephan isn't bad looking either.

I'm a fan of this show! And I am greatly ashamed of my attraction to Damon >.< Again, it's no Buffy, but what is?

I just started watching this show as well (like a week ago) and I very much liked it. I heard some news on another site where the actress Mia Kirshner is gonna join the cast as a reoccurring character in the upcoming episodes which finally gave me a reason to watch it. (any 'L Word' fans out there?? where she's known as Jenny Shecter) ;D Remember Jeremy's new history teacher, Alaric? Well she's gonna play his wife and the casting character definition is: "[ISOBEL] 32-38 years old, a beautiful Caucasian woman, sweet but can make the turn to dangerous. She is Alaric’s (Matt Davis) wife." So anyways thought i'd share some news for anyone interested that. Moon Eyes, I've been able to get caught up on all the 10 episodes by watching it on the CW site which they still have all episodes posted. Here's the link to the pilot ep: Pilot ep and here's the link to the [url=http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-vampire-diaries/episodes ] CW Vampire Diaries page [/url]

I will admit... The only reason I started watching this show was because all the main star were amazingly hot.
But this show has gotten me hooked for way more than that now. I usually get so turned off with soap operas, but I guess this has enough of the scifi twist to keep me. Although if the Damon/Elana relationship falls into the same tv trap as the Ryan/Marissa/OC relationship, theres a good chance I will just turn it off. Or if it gets just to soap operay. (Why I quit watching The OC.)

I loooooove this show! It's fastly become one of my favourite shows that are currently airing on TV. Sure, it's no Buffy, but it's one of the few other vampire shows that are nearing that kind of quality imo. And come on, Damon. He's reason enough to watch.

I read the books before they announced a show was being made, and I really liked the books so needless to say I was excited they were turning it into a show. They changed a lot from the books, but for the most part I think the changes were good. I love the show! (Maybe even more than the books now.) I mostly watch for Damon though.

Hi, watched the pilot last night and it got me thinking.
There were a lot of elements, that we know from the Buffyverse. Vampire-schoolgirl-love, A ring allows a vampire to walk by daylight (gem of Amara) or needing to be allowed to enter a room.
So what I was thinking: Does the show borrow these elements from the whedonverse, or did Joss just lamely stole from the novel series, that was published in the early nineties.
Does have anybody a clue?

^^ Good question. The Vampire Diaries books came out a year before Buffy the movie. But movies aren't written the same year they come out, so chances are Joss was writing the movie before the books were released. However, if anything, Buffy the series borrowed from Vampire Diaries. Unlike Twilight, if they borrowed ideas they actually made them better. There is a chance Joss never read the novels. And I say that only because he doesn't seem like the type of guy to read a series written for young teen girls.
And the vampire needing to be invited in is an old mythology. It's not original to the Buffyverse or Vampire Diaries.

Never watched it, but my hair-dresser's son's ex-girlfriend is Sara Canning, who is in it. XD

The only reason I watch this is because it comes on right before Supernatural. With that said, I have come to kind of like it. Just saw Bloodlines the other day with Gina Torres. I'm happy she's getting work. Its always a pleasure to see Jossverse alumni.

The only thing that comes to mind is when she played Jasmine on Angel. But Connor punches her through the face, not her chest.

So excited to see Gina Torres on last week's ep. I had no idea she was going to be on there so when I saw her it was quite a nice surprise.
