I tried watching that show, but it was so boring I gave up. Ian is really, really pretty but on the whole the show feels very been there, done that.

WHY ON EARTH would anyone ever want to repeat high school? Srsly!

I just posted about that the other day. If you're a vampire, even a good vampire, why in the hell would you be going to high school? What possible purpose could that serve?

That is the one thing I just don't get about the HS vampires -- why, why go to school? But if they didn't they couldn't date Mary Sue-esque high school girls, which it's better to not think about, because it's icky.

LOL, if Ian wasn't there I would so not even have checked it out, but... Ian. I mean. IAN. He's evil, he's delicious, he's the best one out of the lot by far and uhm, yes. I don't give a damn about the rest and I'm totally with you on high school, but after I sat through a movie concerning the scepter of Moses saving the world from a drowning apocalypse just because his pretty face was in there... I can sit through this. ;)

(actually, I kinda want to do a spn crossover and slash Damon with Dean... at least just for the sheer pretty factor *cough*.)

But someone please tell me, WHY ON EARTH would anyone ever want to repeat high school? Srsly!

I didn't get that either. I have a hard time with vampires falling for high school students (I'll exclude Buffy since she's a slayer and not a "normal" high school student). Has anyone hung out with teenagers lately? They're annoying! (For the most part - LOL.) I'm 10 years older than some of them and it's annoying - how is a vampire HUNDREDS of years older supposed to deal with the immaturity? *done ranting now, really*

I think fast forward is the way to go! lol! or I'll have in on in the background while doing other stuff because it was so bad.

I think that the idea of high school must come from the "good vampires" think they deserve eternal damnation and suffering. that's all I got.

I don't know. I was no big fan of high school. I think that people who say those are the best years of your life are lying liars that lie. But...if I could do it again as a mysterious hottie with {insert super power here} that knows all the answers? I'd probably give it a whirl every now and again. Maybe.

Someone on TWOP said that Vampire Diaries was like Twilight having sex with an emo band and then throwing up on Buffy. That made me laugh. And Ian was definitely bringing the pretty...so, yeah, I'll probably watch until something better in the time slot comes along.

I never understand why people angst and bitch about high school. Then again, I had a really rough time in K-8 so high school was a wonderful, happy place for me with new people who didn't throw rocks at me.

Thank you for confirming my decision to not watch this show. I like Ian, but not enough to wade through a Mary-Sue teen angstfest that shamelessly exploits the popularity of Twilight.

I love snarky, dark, but sort of fun vampires..and Ian is playing this role very well, plus he's hot so that makes it even better.

Why someone would want to go back to high school...for that vampire I'm thinking so he could make the teachers look bad with all he knows as opposed to them--which isn't a bad reason. :)

I watched the first episode and it was so bad, I don't even know if I can bring myself to watch any more of it. And then I think about Ian's eyes. And I know that I'll be watching religiously.

As for going back to high school? I don't get it. And maybe my high school experience was sheltered, but the portrayals of high schools on tv and film just seem really far off base.

In Twilight they kept attending HS cause the younger they pretended to be, the longer they could stay in one place, but OMFG, I wouldn't give a flying fuck, you'd have to drag me by the hair kicking and screaming to get me back into a high school. Kicking. And. SCREAMING. My very worst nightmares (other than the ones where my kid is hurt/sick/dying)? The ones where I'm back in school for some unknown reason.
