Also I feel that they kill Jack too much. It's losing its strength and it's cruel to the character. I don't think we need quite so much evidence of his immortality to contrast with everyone else's quite evident mortality.

I got stupid. The money was too good.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't believe Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries are on the same network. But I think that's basically a disbelief that Supernatural is on the CW, I guess.
That was...addictively appalling. Can Ian Somerhalder act Or does he always get by on a twinkle of his louche brown eyes?
But it was quite bad. Humour--I miss it. Dopplegangers of lost loves--I do not miss it. Journal-keeping teenaged vampires? I wouldn't have missed it if I'd thought of it.
Now I have to wikipedia the book and read up on it.

I kind of liked it in a "I know this is horrible, but I'm somehow amused" way. Like any new show, I give it three eps.

I know they didn't mean to put humour in it, but I did laugh quite a lot.

Okay, having read the summaries on Wikipedia I feel quite dizzy and confident that the CW has no intention of going there.

Exactly my reaction to it.

Oh, there's no chance of the CW going there.

Our wings are not tired.
Like any new show, I give it three eps.
I think I'll read the comments here for three eps then decide if I want to give it a try.

I wish it was an anthology series, and every week it was a different vampire's diary.
They could do a Nostroyev episode and it'd be like, "Dear Diary, Rasputin is totally into me!"

I liked the TWOP take on that, particularly Spike's:
I am writing this to let you know that I will not be writing in you ever again. You were a gift from Harmony, and a stupid gift at that, because I in no way want to talk about my feelings with a flipping book. Sod off, diary. I am tossing you in the rubbish bin.

Ha! That is very nice. "One! One entry in my diary! Ah ah ah!"
I guess I should actually look at the editorial pages occasionally.
