There they go, trampling on my adolescence again
I'm ALL for more sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural TV shows, believe me.
But Vampire Diaries, really? I remember reading that as a teen and even at the time it was like the teen vamp equivalent of a really trashy romance novel--it was not the most amazing writing and the melodramatic angst was over the top, but it was kind of fun because of that.
I really can't imagine it translating well to a TV series.
Although in the terrible terrible clip that I watched on Spoiler TV, Ian Somerhalder (previously of Smallville and Lost) was damn good looking as the naughty vampire brother. Yummmm...
All in all, I'm with sundancekid. I know everyone is riding the vampire-mania of Twilight in the entertainment industry, but how about some hot werewolves or hot zombies or something else.
Or really, I would just be happy with more supernatural romance stories/books/shows/movies where the sexy, dangerous supernatural character is the female protagonist and SHE has to figure out how to navigate her strength and sexuality around a mortal man (like Blood and Chocolate!!!).
I'm pretty good on scared/weak mortal girls and sexy/dangerous supernatural boys for right now ;)
