The Vampire Diaries: Pilot Ep. 1 Review

If you missed episode 1 you can watch it on the Vampire diaries/ CW web site Just trying to give everyone some things to stay busy with!

California writer L. J. Smith’s popular young adult book series, Vampire Diaries, made its way to TV last Thursday night as the CW’s new horror show. The story centers around Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), a high school girl torn between two vampire brothers, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder).

Elena and her brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), struggle to cope with their parent’s death. Though popular and an A student, Elena no longer finds pleasure in her old trivial pursuits, while Jeremy drowns out his sorrows through drugs. Dark and mysterious Stefan Salvatore returns to town after a century away, looking for Elena, whom he thinks is his long lost love resurrected or reincarnated from the 1800s. His brother Damon returns also, to make Stefan’s life a living hell, as brothers’ do. Of course, Elena is unaware of the Salvatore brothers’ motives or vampire status.
