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!

Erm yeah this is gross

( Spoilers for The Vampire Diaries )

This is a show with some very...odd views. With Caroline and her father in season 3 it seemed to be presented as a bad thing that he wanted to torture his daughter out of being a vampire, but then that came in the same season as Elena and Lexi were trying out torture and starvation on Stefan as a form of conditioning that supposedly works, and even Caroline's father was sort of shown to be right as he was apparently strong enough to resist mind-control and his tactics could help Tayler overcome the sirebond.

Really though what a bizarre message for any halfway normal show to push

I'm cautiously in favour of this? I haven't been a fan of how the Original's have taken over the show since season 3, the writers seem to have so much to say about them that maybe a spin-off is the best possible solution and they can then focus more on the original cast they'll probably just bring in more new characters though lbr

I might even be more interested in the Original's if it was a show focused on them, I used to like them fine until it felt like TVD became all about them and it was so unbalanced and forced. I wish they had done the spin-off at the end of season 3 actually instead of bringing Klaus back again purely on the basis of fandom responding to him, killing him at the end of season 3 made so much more sense



But hmm who is going to be in charge of TVD now then if Julie Plec will be showrunner on the spin-off?

I'm bored, indulge me *g* Oh and I've made it check boxes, so you can vote for as many options as you like!

There's a trailer from New York Comic Con for upcoming episodes of The Vampre Diaries

( The Vampire Diaries 204 )



And how bad-ass does next weeks trailer look!!!!







And Nikita I'm still enjoying, but LOL at Michael's attempts to hit the bag when he had zero power behind his punch. It reminded me of the Buffy/Giles scene from Once More With Feeling with SMG punching the bag. Not too convincing!

( The Vampire Diaries 202 )








What a fantastic trailer! I've gone from not caring at all about the warewolf storyline to being pretty excited for it



( Nikita 102 )




( Gossip Girl 402 )


And this is what comic book Chloe will look like apparently...

( The Vampire Diaries 201 )



And the trailer for next week!!!!






I haven't had a chance to watch Nikita yet, hopefully tomorrow after work. I'm pleased the ratings are so strong though
