Vampire Diaries Tv Premier!


Based on novels of the same name, Vampire Diaries follows Elena, a young heroine, who is the object of passion for two vampire brothers. Four months after the tragic car accident that killed their parents, 17-year-old Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev, DeGrassi: The Next Generation) and her 15-year-old brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen, Everwood) are still trying to cope with their grief and move on with their lives. Elena has always been the star student; beautiful, popular and involved with school and friends, but now she finds herself struggling to hide her sadness from the world. As the school year begins, Elena and her friends are fascinated by a handsome and mysterious new student, Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley, Army Wives). Stefan and Elena are immediately drawn to one another, and Elena has no way of knowing that Stefan is a centuries-old vampire, struggling to live peacefully among humans, while his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder, Lost) is the embodiment of vampire violence and brutality. Now these two vampire brothers - one good, one evil - are at war for Elena's soul and for the souls of her friends, family and all the residents of the small town of Mystic Falls, Virginia.

As some of you may know, I am not the biggest fan of the whole vampire craze. I admit that I haven't read the Vampire Diaries but a friend of mine has and she loved them. So, I decided to watch the show, and I was surprised. The beginning seemed very similar to Twilight to me, but it veered away from that soon after. I really did enjoy watching it, and the music was awesome. Sadly, I have a feeling I shouldn't expect any werewolves in this series. =(

Nope, no werewolves. We get some Uber-vamps and lots of romance and blood sucking but no weres. I'm actually kinda happy about that.
