Quotes

Damon Salvatore: I got the town off our back, it was for the greater good, but I'm sorry. And to prove it, I'm not going to feed on a human for at least a... week. I'll adopt the Stefan diet, only nothing but feathers.
Stefan Salvatore: Because I realize killing your closest and oldest friend is beyond evil and yet, somehow it's worthy of humor.
Damon Salvatore: Are you mimicking me?
Damon Salvatore: And I can go back to sulking and Elena-longing and forehead brooding. This is fun, I like this.
Stefan Salvatore: Yes, Stefan. Now that the secret society of vampire-haters if off ...

User Reviews

Just so good a series can get!

At first i didn't understand what was going on. Since i never heard of TVD before but the more i watched it, it was really good, really good actors and actresses. I mean, i've never even heard of the actors but the min i saw them. They were a bit raw at first but when i got to the third one, it was really good.

Im not going to tell anything because i don't want to be the one to spoil anything. Anyway you should watch this, it is really good show.

But if you don't like the show...don't say anything. If you do like it, either way you have rights....so i guess that's all. I have to keep writing but i guess if I'm going to contuine, i might as well talk about TVD, how great are they? I think they're really good and Bonnie ? A witch? That was a good idea and plus i loved the flashbacks--if you would call that, a trip to the past.. Elena plays the two characters so differently, its so hard to believe they are actually played by the same girl. Damon, and Stefan are funny. I like how Ian plays Damon, he's funny and Stefan he might be serious but he can still be fun. Just my opinion :d
