When vampire shows suck...

That`s it, Vampire Diaries is going on my "I may watch it once the Season is over and I can see where it went" list.

This show used to be legitimately good from mid-Season 1 to all of Season 2, still enjoyable in Season 3 and admittedly I liked parts of Season 4. But this year, I`m sick of the writers aiming for the nadir of the nadir of storytelling - and succeeding every time. I just love annuling development for the lulz because that in no way makes me feel I wasted years watching it in the first place. *sarcasm* And their deluded interviews, obvious incapability to figure out what isn`t working and passive-aggressive asshole tweets. It`s like they think they are the SPN TPTB.

I knew dividing attention between running three shows would be too much but the old warhorse should be something of a self-ran, not an implosion. And The Tomorrow People ain`t good either, at least as long as they refuse to center it around John. That leaves The Originals which is legit good. But a batting average of 1 out of 3? Not that impressive.

Thank God Teen Wolf is currently rocking so hard.

The Tomorrow People is, erm watchable!! 'if only John is the center!!

He is just so much better, more interesting, charismatic and all around good than Stephen and especially Cara.

I haven't watched The Originals, mainly because I was kinda sick of TVD, but I'll give it a try :P

Like TVD back in Season 1, it doesn`t immediately start with fireworks but I was very pleasantly surprised how it developed.

Thank God Teen Wolf is currently rocking so hard. :D

Don`t know what those writers have been smoking for 3.B but I hope they pass it around to other shows. *g*
