Another tween-vampire romance mess? Do we need a weekly
Twilight rip-off, as if it isn't bad enough that
Twilight exists? I like how it "borrows" from not only twilight, but
True Blood as well... psychic abilities, the black best friend of the main girl character... oh whatever, they're not going for fresh or original, so why bitch.
Do all vampires in the modern era do nothing but mope around, stare blankly and try desperately to find love while fighting their true nature? Are there any ugly vampires, or are they all
Abercrombie models? Why do they all feel the need to go to High School?!?!?
Fine, I get that these fake ass vampire stories are based on young adult book series and there's a market for them, etc... but does no on see how painful they are to watch other than me? Do young girls get how non romantic these stories really are?
To rant anymore is pointless, but I had to get at least some of it out. All I'll say is that unless you're 14 and lonely, watch at your own risk!
*Addendum- It took a reader of ours, Purgatori, to remind me that this sho had a good point too... The hotness of Nina Dobrrev. Thanks P, I owe you one.

Oh thank goodness I am not the only one. It really hurts me on an intellectual level that there is enough of a market for this that the CW is making money off a phenomenon that sucked to begin with. But there you go. You know this show is going to do well.
ReplyDeleteMakes me so nostalgic for vampires shows that were good. Even blogged about THAT. If only it was enough to keep this show from thriving.
All quite true, but you forgot to mention one possible reason for watching: the incredible hotness of Nina Dobrev.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point Purgatori, Nina Dobrev was VERY hot.
