![]() ![]() But as each character’s backstory is revealed (though mostly well-done flashbacks), it becomes very clear that they’re both good and bad. Granted, Paul Wesley can barely carry the complexity of Stefan’s character when he’s in bad mode, but he nails it as Brooding Forehead Guy.Ģ1) Elena and Stefan kind of quit writing in their diaries early on, huh? That kind of takes the Diaries out of the Vampires. (Ha! Puns!) The same goes for Damon, who seems pretty bad at the beginning of the series. If it were just good brother versus bad brother, The Vampire Diaries would suck. On the other hand, Damon and Elena challenge each other and have a friendship that’s not a part of the Elena-Stefan relationship.ġ8-20) The duality of Stefan’s character really saves him for me. For Stefan, Elena connects him to the humanity he fears losing. Stefan brings Elena the connection to another person that she needs at that time in her life. Despite their whole age and species differences, Elena and Stefan have a sweet romance. It’s really complicated and progresses in a creative manner. However, I kind of love the Stefan-Elena-Damon love triangle. So much angst and silly dialogue.ģ-6) I have many concerns about Stefan’s hair.ġ1-17) It is a known fact that I usually detest love triangles. Sixty-six of them, to be precise.ġ-2) The first few episodes are essentially Dawson’s Creek with Vampires. And I have some thoughts on The Vampire Diaries. And watched all 66 episodes of the first three seasons over the course of an embarrassingly short period of time. Last month, I found myself inexplicably drawn to hitting the “watch now” on The Vampire Diaries. The thing is, I’d kind of run out of new-to-me televisions shows to watch and was resorting to rewatching some of my old favorites. I can actually concentrate better if I have something else to concentrate on too. While I love Pandora for background noise in short bursts, I love putting on some Netflix Instant in the background while I crank out a bunch of CSS coding or plan a class or write a communications plan.īut, Sarah, how can you watch television and concentrate? That is not at all normal!įirst off, I never, ever claimed to be “normal.” Secondly, I have no idea, but this dates way back to fights I would have with my mother over watching television while doing my homework. As has been well-documented, I love television.Īnd I work out of my house.
