No rating yet, because I know too much about the plot (as it is happening now) and am not sure if I'm ready to get in this series and stick around...
Initial thoughts:
- Elena and Stefan are not as obnoxious as I thought they would be. (I've seen a random episode from the current season and I know that Elena is going to get on my nerves quick - but here, I forgave her and actually liked her more than I thought I would.) I need Stefan to reveal to Elena who she is - but that's too large of a plot point to reveal too quickly. Since I know what's what - I'm okay with it being dragged out for a while.
- "Uncle Stefan" = lolz!
- Stefan showing up the History Teacher - so many fist pumps!!! I've been dreaming of a "teen" vamp who actually knows his/her history and makes use of said knowledge in the classroom (and/or to woo the acceptably-nerdy heroine... someday this will happen, also)
- Bonnie is my faves and I wants to see more of her.
- Mystic Falls is a hilarious name for a town. Yeay for all the ridiculously creepy settings with really big trees and lots of moss. As much as it pains me to say: the new trope is for vamps to hang out in NW small towns with lots of really, really big - shadowy trees == wonderful! I'm a Washingtonian stuck in the Sacramento Valley - I get my kicks gawking at pictures of trees. Trees + angsty vamps = okay by me
- I get that Stefan = Angel-brood and Damon = Spike-recklessness ... and I'm so down for that. (You thought I was going to say something negative, didn't you - hahahaha, sucka) Damon-lusting, here I come!
- Predisposed to not love Elena. Not that I dislike her, or hate her, I'm just not really getting why she's the end-all, be-all chick of the series/story. I think she's interesting (I love her relationship with her aunt/brother already - she's a genuinely good person), but I'm not blown away. Like - I'd have a coffee date with her every few months, but there's no way we'd be besties ... but that's sort of how I feel about Buffy, also.
Conclusion: Not writing it off yet. Trying really, really hard to fall in love with Elena - but I really don't see it happening. What can I say? I'm a rebel :)
