The Vampire Diaries

So, The Vampire Diaries came out ages ago, in at least 2010 I think? I didn't watch it on TV because it really didn't faze me. But for Christmas this year I got the Season 1 DVD and I think it has become my new favourite TV show ever.

Over about 2 months I have watched all 22 episodes. I tried to watch them sparingly because I didn't want it to end! I thought the first couple of episodes were good, but it was by about episode 4 that I was really hooked. At one point I think I watched like three episodes in a day! Crazy.

I love the characters the most in this series. Before hand I had always heard 'Stefan or Damon?' but I never really knew who they were. When Damon first came to Mystic Falls, he was horrible and I thought 'why would anyone pick Damon?! Stefan is so much nicer!' But by the end of the series, I was in love with Damon, he became more humane and his one liners are hilarious. He was one of the reasons I love the show so much. But don't get me wrong! I still like Stefan, I love how much he cares for people and lets face it, he has such a fit body. I think they're possibly the coolest brothers ever to be created, I love the relationship between them, not so much at the start where they hated each other, but nearer the end of the series where they started to protect each other. Very brotherly.

Then we have Elena. I hear they had to change her personality and her looks from the books because she was just too bitchy. I think Elena is so beautiful, and she portrays the part of Elena really well. She's so caring especially towards her brother, Jeremy. Her and Stefan make a really good couple.

But after reading so many vampire books, and watching a couple of vampire shows, this is probably the best, in my opinion, show for portraying vampires. They can't go out in sunlight (unless they have these special rings like Stefan and Damon) and they have to feed off blood, but can also eat normal food too.Then to become a vampire you have to have vampire blood in your system when you die, then when you wake up you have to kill a human. A complicated way, but very clever.

They have the perfect balance of love, high school drama and vampires which is why I love it so much. As well as the cliff hanger at the end of each episode, especially the last one. I am now on Season 2 which so far, is just as good. Sorry about the long blog, but I just feel so strongly about this series, it's so good! Don't hesitate to watch!
