I was looking for pictures for more Ian Somerhalder icons (I was killing time waiting for Teh Governator to stop talking) and stumbled on IGN's review of the pilot shown at ComicCon:
( blah blah blah blah blah vampire blah blah )
TL;DR: Critics are so useless sometimes. I like the reviews they used to do (still might) in CMJ that said things like "You'll like this band if you like (these)" because I got a pretty good idea just based on that if it was worth it to buy a CD. And I tend to go by that for tv shows too- the person who recommended "Glee" already knew I liked Bryan Fuller, so she recc'd the show. Personally, I'd pitch this show as good if you liked the idea of Twilight without the sparkle-pires, bitchy heroine and weird pregnancy shit. Or if you like True Blood without all the... sex? Okay, that came out all wrong.
Pilot review (not the one I quoted, that was from the SDCC review) here.
And here's a clip from Ep. 4 "Family Ties" of "Vampire Diaries"- it's a scene between Stefan and Damon and the site I got it from called it "spoilery" but really it's just a scene showing the dynamic between the two brothers. And if you don't think Damon is awesome after you watch you weren't looking hard enough, you food court goth, you:
