New TV. Glad it's around. (And the LSU/Mississippi State game looks better than expected... not that I have a real rooting interest here)


The Secret Circle

*  M'kay, clearly the folks behind TVD.

*  And... I'm intrigued.  Can't say it's 'good' (it's quite cheesy)... but it zips along.

* Too bad the 'fated couple' have no chemistry to speak of.

* I'll probably watch again because it's conveniently TVD adjacent.  Again, not good, but enough mystery and menace that I'll give it a shot. 



The Vampire Diaries

*  Ever notice that vampires can kill instantly after the first sip of blood?  I mean, going by True Blood, they take as much blood during sex as they do when killing someone.  So do they have a special "this isn't sex so it'll kill you" venom where they can kill instantly?

*  Hey, standards and practices, want to explain to me why you can have a head roll off the corpse but we can't even get a good look at  naked Damon?  I mean, we had better looks at naked Spike.  TVD works on a few simple principles.  Naked pretty people is one of them.

*  I have questions of how redemption works in TVD-land... because it seems to involve a lot of people dying so that people can feel bad about... y'know, directly or indirectly causing their death.  

*  It's looking more and more like dating Damon is a death sentence.  Seriously, I think the only one who has slept with him and not ended up dead is Caroline... who wound up a vampire... so still dead. (but getting it on with a werewolf so she's doing alright, I guess)  

*  Hmmm more Damon/Alaric, please.

* Liked the twist with Caroline at the end.
