I really enjoyed The Vampire Diaries, especially the Elena and Caroline scenes (although I did lol at the awkward fatherly scenes with Damon and Jeremy. The Jeremy actor has buffed up so much that he looks about 25 now!), and it feels like it's going back to the show I loved before the Original's. I tried watching the pilot for that show, but unfortunately it just reminded me of how much I needed a break from those characters... I've never liked Klaus much, but Elijah is really grating on me too now. I'm just crossing my fingers that it's a hit so they don't bring them back to TVD quite honestly!

Otherwise I haven't been watching that much tv. After Breaking Bad finished I did watch the first season of Dexter, I really loved it and was excited about catching up with the rest, but then season 2 just didn't do it for me at all. I was super into it with the first season as well, but my interest pretty much died after the second. In the beginning I was really fascinated by Dexter's character and his looking into his past, but by the end of the second season I just could not stand Dexter any more. Or Harry and his code for that matter. Or :shudders: Lila

The only characters I was really attached too were Deb and LaGuerta. Even with Doakes, I did like him more towards the end of season 2, but most of the time he was just so rude and abrasive that I couldn't even root for the one person that I should have. I mean he was the only one who did recognise Dexter for what he was, but urgh the way he went about stalking the guy and swearing at him just really turned me off. Maybe I will watch the fourth still as everyone always raves about that, but Idk

I'm thinking of trying out The Shield next maybe as I've seen some recs for that on BB posts



And woot, seasonal_spuffy is now back on LJ!

The Caroline-Elena stuff was so awesome. I loved it. And yeah, I think getting rid of the Originals has been SO GOOD for the show. Fingers crossed that they don't come back! xD

+1 tbh

And that's coming from a former STAN of his. :(

Side note: I should probably dump this icon, lol.

ha I'm the opposite with The Originals actually. They annoyed me on TVD because they didn't belong there but on their own show...well that's where they are meant to be so they don't annoy me there. I hope it can be decent. But weirdly I'm not sure I can really go back to TVD.

I ever saw the attraction of Elijah (or Klaus). Good riddance! I will probably watch The Originals (though I haven't been arsed to watch the first one yet) in the way I used to watch Angel - in batches because the only reason I'm watching is to understand potential crossovers.

GET OUT! GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

LOL, no, but really, there are some good moments post-S2, but it's really not worth it. It will only lure you into thinking the rest is worth watching, and... no. There are better uses of your time.

Dexter S2 was really not that great, IMO, mainly because of Lilah and Dexter's relationship problems and 'addiction problem'. But S3 and S4 are much better, IMO. Though 4 is a good stopping place, though I personally love 5.

AHHH, DEB. SHE WAS THE BEST <3

Honestly, the first four seasons of Dexter are amazing. The fifth one isn't so bad either. The last three are truly terrible, though, and the series finale was incredibly awful :( It sucks, because it was my favourite show for such a long time.

I totally agree about TVD. :D

And Dexter, yeah, don't watch the last season. I would probably choose not to, in hindsight.
