The TV series, set in Mystic Falls, Virginia stems from the books written by L.J. Smith. Kevin Williamson took the novels and put his magic to work.
It follows the life of 17 yr old human, Elena Gilbert. She falls in love with Stefan Salvatore, a vampire,
but also has feelings for his older vampire brother, Damon.
While Stefan is sweet, gentle, and giving, Damon is wild, sarcastic, and malevolent. The brothers fall for Elena, partly because she resembles one of their past loves, Katherine, a long distant relative of Elena’s.
All of this drama stems from the founding families who “protect” Mystic Falls from vampires, but they should be concerned with other paranormal beings lollygagging about…. ghosts, witches, and werewolves.
I LOVE this show... the vampires and magic and love triangle. I'm Team Damon, though, there are times I feel like Elena belongs with Stefan.

I'm team Stephan all the way! I love him. I kinda hope Elena doesn't end up with him, so I can have him.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! :D
DeleteTeam Stephan!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I don't watch the show anymore, but I loved the books in high school. I loved everything L.J. Smith wrote, and don't really like the turn of the new books now that she's not at the helm. :(
I love the show, but TBH, I've only read books 1 and 2 in that series.
DeleteI've read the first two books, and seen the show up through October of season 3. I prefer the TV series - Kevin knows what he's doing.
ReplyDeleteSome of the changes between the two are interesting - in the original books Elena is a spoiled and stuck-up teenage queen bee, (and blonde,) and Katerina was a very sweet and mild vampire girl, horrified that the two brothers would quarrel and fight over her. On the show, Elena is the sweet and haunted heroine, (but with a growing backbone over the years,) and Katherine is the femme fatale vixen.
I love the series more, too!
DeleteThis show is one of my guilty pleasures. :) I don't watch it regularly, but it's always been interesting when I can tune it.
ReplyDeleteI may not get to watch it the night it airs, but at least it's in my DVR whenever I get to it. :D
DeleteI'm a Buffy fan. =) I have never seen a single episode of VD.

I've never watched Buffy, but my sis is a diehard fan.
DeleteThanks Jackie, I have never seen the show but I am very curious. I love vampires! Have you read the books and watched the tv series? Are they both really good? I am wondering if I should i go for both, or pick one over the other? Thanks!

I've only read books 1 and 2.
DeleteI LOVE the TV series. The characters are amazing. I like Elena better on the show than how she's portrayed in the book, but that's jmo.
I'm not sure if that helps. ;/ I hope so, though!
