I hate to fall in love with a tv series

[EmilieMadison]

I blew through seasons 1 and 2 of the Vampire Diaries on netflix, but now the only episodes available for season 3 OnDemand or on Hulu are 14-21. So what do I do? I buy the goddamned season on itunes. That's what.

I needed something different after finishing Prison Break (which still makes me sad).

Is Vampire Diaries worth it? Or is it another Twilight?

I don't think it is anything like twilight. I really like it and they have a lot of eye candy on the show.

You can look at the other episodes on www.cwtv.com or www.fastpasstv.ms

Chesh- omg- yes it's worth it.
The first episode I was like, "Um...so it's like twilight? But for tv?" But then...THEN...I realized that it was NOT like twilight, in that it's actually awesome (the acting is decent, the plot is good, the actors are actually attractive, etc). Believe me, if it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't have just spent $40 to keep watching it right.this.second.

Oh and I also loved Prison Break, I was so sad at how they ended it.

I may or may not have recently had a naughty dream about Damon (who is NOT my "type" at all).

OMG, I have had a few over the past few weeks and he is not my type either, I never go for dark haired guys like him.....there is just something about that character.

[CheshireGrin]

All right, you've convinced me. I will check it out.

[angelaa73]

I'm the dumb dork that gets into the show after its long gone. Think 24

I do normally go for dark haired guys (and blue eyes), but he's just so PRETTY. I'm into the more rugged, rough looking fellows. But yeah, something about that character.

[CheshireGrin]

LOL, I do that all the time, angelaa. I didn't want Lost until it was all over either.

No, no, that's GOOD! Then most of the episodes are available on netflix, etc. I HATE getting into a series thats still in production because I'm so used to watching it whenever I want and not waiting a week between episodes or months between seasons!

Damon is yummy.

Breaking Bad is brilliant (for when you need a fix after VD). Acting, writing, cinematography, all of it can do no wrong. On Netflix.

[angelaa73]

Oh OHHHH!

[wrathofkuus]

Is that actually good? I loved the books as a teen, but when I reread them as an adult, they held up about as well as Ally McBeal, which is to say, not at all. Do you know how the show differs from the books (other than making Elena dark-haired like the Twilight chick instead of the platinum blonde she is in the books)?

We're on season 3 (or 4) of Breaking Bad! But that's one that DH and I watch together, so I have to find shows I can watch on my own

I dont know how they compare to the books Kuus, I never read them. But the show itself has me hooked, and not in a "It's so bad I have to find out if it ever starts to get good" sort of way.

I've never read the books but I hear the show is nothing like them from friends who have.

I really need to get you into Supernatural. There are 7 seasons ready for your watching pleasure. I promise, you won't be disapointed!

I couldn't like Breaking Bad after about 1 episode into season 2. 3/4 of those characters are just...ugh.

S1 was prob my least favorite. BB is an abrasive, raw show. But you do grow to love all the characters. There's a lot of crazy going on.

Actually, you DID get me into it! Well, I mean that you made me want to get into it lol! I watched the first episode (alone, at night) and scared myself, but loved it. I just need to get through V.D. (wow that sounds bad....) and then it's my next adventure!

Agree

[CheshireGrin]

Oh yeah, I just discovered Supernatural a few months ago, and I've already finished seasons 1-6. LOVE that show!

[Deleted]

I LOVE THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.

[Deleted]

LOVE Vampire Diaries. But I haven't seen last night's episode yet...

This. Breaking Bad was aweful. After 4-6 episodes, I told H I wasn't interested anymore. Done.

But I love Vampire Diaries. They are all YUM. I don't think it's Twlightish at all.

I hate falling in love with a tv series and then they cancel it after the first season. Think Alcatraz.

[orangello]

OMG. I started watching VD (teehee) when DH was gone on a work trip. Blew through seasons 1 & 2. Talked about it so much that DH got interested, and then proceeded to re-watch seasons 1 & 2. I'm *thisclose* to shelling out for Season 3 on Amazon because I don't think I can wait!

Those of you Supernatural fans - tell me more. I watched about 8 or 9 episodes, and just didn't get into it (although, I would happily get right on in to Dean...). Does it get better?
