I concur.

I think most everyone freaked out when it popped up.

best. idea. ever. tempted to share it on facebook but I'm still keeping it under wraps I watch this show :)

Isn't it great!

And I now what you mean about keeping it on the dl--every person I've talked to about it, I've had to justify myself to. "But it's really good! I promise! It takes a while to get going, but then it's all awesomeness!"

maybe we should use the parallel of buffy? "it starts out cheesy but it's got awesome girls and snarky vampires who don't sparkle in the sun."

I blame Twilight for everything. have you seen this by the way?

It's a good parallel, I think, though they are such different shows.

I have! I LOVE IT!

I SAW THAT
I LOVED IT
ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS REALIZED

also it made me miss Kayla Ewell. Who I miss all the time along with Malese Jow, but. Feelings. ;_____________;

SO GREAT!

I know! So many ladies to miss! And Lexi! And Pearl! *SOB*

FFFFFFFFFFFFFF I KNOW. UGH, TVD. WHY.

Like. Caroline and Katherine are pretty much the only vampire girl representatives we have left, right? IF THEY CAN KICK ASS ALL OVER THE PLACE THIS SEASON, I MAY BE ABLE TO FIND IT IN MY HEART TO FORGIVE. JUST SAYIN', KEVIN WILLIAMSON.

If Caroline ever dies, I will go STARK RAVING MAD. YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW.

OH, BB, SERIOUSLY. IF EITHER HER OR BONNIE EVER GET KILLED OFF OR WRITTEN OUT SOME OTHER WAY, HEADS. WILL. ROLL.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
AMEN. I cannot even think about that. *shudder*

I love it! That was happy.

Is that OH YES in your Tenth Doctor voice? That's what I heard.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Very happy!

HA! I hadn't thought of that, but now? OH YES!

[identity profile] diamondtook862.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
:D

Excuse me, I have to go watch it again.

[identity profile] angearia.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, I love this in concept but...

I think execution wise the clips they chose weren't actiony enough to do the BtVS theme song justice. Also, the Elena power shot? I'm a little underwhelmed. I think Bonnie should inherit the power shot since it would, ya know, be a real power shot. Or have Katherine as the power shot. POWER SHOT NEEDS BE POWERFUL. :p

[identity profile] angearia.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I am so critical tonight! What's up with that?

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee!

[identity profile] ever-neutral.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Or have Katherine as the power shot. POWER SHOT NEEDS BE POWERFUL. :p

Ha, I agree with this opinion.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
The show is substantially less action-y than BtVS, though. But! Totally agreed about the Elena power shot--KATHERINE or BONNIE. YES.

I've never watched The Vampire Diaries, but that is one cool opening sequence. LOL

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it fun?

[identity profile] miss-mishi.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
...this makes me want to watch the vampire diaries

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually really recommend it. It starts out about as cheesy and melodramatic as you would think, but somewhere along the line it becomes, like, good. With an interesting mythology and way fun backstories. Plus: lots of awesome ladies. Ladies who are smart and resourceful and have agency! Ladies who have relationships with each other! Some ladies who are good and some who are evil and some who are somewhere in between!

WIN! I especially like the timing with Bonnie and the the flames and the WHOOSH noise. Though I would have preferred to have Alaric as the finale character instead of Jenna.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw! Alaric! I'm so fond of him! But I do think Jenna is underrated/underused, so it made me glad to see her.

Speaking of underused, where has Bonnie been? I miss that girl! They better bring her back soon and give her an actual arc!
