Vampire Diaries: I can't remember, what is the thing with new vampires and feeding or not feeding in this 'verse? It's, like, a Thing, right?

-t-- I think it is the Human blood, whether from killing or not, that makes them raxy-- so killing humans is worse than drinking bloodbank blood is worse than killing animals.
I just posted in Cable Drama, but I keep thinking perhaps I am losing my mind because this show is just so enjoyable and well-written to me:
I just watched, and I cannot get over how, although this show (or perhaps because this show) doesn't really seem to have deep themes, it seems to avoid every TV show storytelling mistake ever. Or it least it totally does not draw things out at all, and yet everything seems completely in character. I mean, things just move along in a satisfying way. It is sort of like Kevin Williamson maybe learned some things from Dawson's Creek.

I thought there was some sort of time limit - when the brother's girlfriend (the one that wasn't a vampire when he met her, man that family has rotten luck) got turned, wasn't there something where if she didn't feed she wouldn't turn all the way? Not that it matters currently, I was just trying to remember how it worked.
The way it just moves right along does seem striking in the current TV landscape. It's kind of a constant pleasant surprise that they pose some question and, boom, answer it right away. I like it.

Also "ambiguously supernatural mystery uncle" is dandy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In character? I…didn't Damon break Jeremy's neck? Can I have a little repercussion? They punch it up at the end of every episode, and I appreciate the pacing, but it think they also totally cheat on the ramifications with omnipresent magic rings, instant forgiveness, and off-centre stakings.

See, but it moves so darn fast, I don't have time to think about those things!

It is peculiar which events have consequences and which don't, that's for sure. But I can barely remember what happened last week, so I am okay with that.

That's why I can't class it as more than crack. I can't really imagine rewatching for other than prurient, iliac crest-related reasons. It is fun. I don't get it being good.

Well, I think it is good crack because it is engaging enough to make me forget the other stuff
