So, back to vampires…
01/20/2010 in Vampires, What we're Watching by Lindsay | 6 comments
Hi, my name is Lindsay and I’m a pop culture addict. For the past two years, my poison has been vampires. I went cold turkey roughly two months ago, but as of Thursday…I’m officially BACK!
Time to get excited - The Vampire Diaries (TVD) Season 2 starts tomorrow on the CW at 8:00 p.m. (7:00 p.m. Central). Over the past year, I made a point to watch less MTV and CW and more HBO documentaries and Nat Geo, but when it comes to vampires…a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. TVD Season 1 was pretty rad. I watched it all on a Sunday marathon and didn’t leave my house the entire day, so I have pretty high expectations for Season 2.

In case you’ve just recently jumped on the undead bandwagon, here’s the Q+DD on The Vampire Diaries to prepare you for tomorrow night’s premiere:
The Vampire Diaries is an American supernatural-fantasy horror television series developed by Kevin Williamson, based on the book series of the same name by L. J. Smith. The series follows the life of Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who falls in love with vampire brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). It also focuses on the lives of Elena’s friends and other inhabitants of the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. The series is a mix of teen drama and the supernatural. It premiered on September 10, 2009, on the CW Television Network, and has become its best performing show. On October 21, 2009, the series was given a full, 22-episode first season. Forbes.com includes the series in a so-called recent “vampire craze” in entertainment, beginning with HBO’s True Blood and the Twilight series, and continuing with Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant and Daybreakers.

The Vampire Diaries
Plus, Ian Somerhalder isn’t too hard on the eyes. He’s no Slick, but then again I am pretty sure Slick is not a vampire…

Slick (the wolverine)...not vampire
Also, it’s kind of cool that TVD is filmed in and around Atlanta: http://bit.ly/1n9sVF
If you’ve been sold on the whole Hollywood vampire craze as hard as I’ve been – I suggest checking out The Vampire Diaries on the CW tomorrow night. It’s no Twilight, but it’s a close enough fix to settle my vampire cravings until True Blood starts again or Eclipse eventually comes out in theaters! Enjoy!
