When vampire shows suck...

[astri13]

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.

Haven't watched the latest ep of TVD yet, but this made me laugh:

It`s like they think they are the SPN TPTB.

Alarming indeed.

I have been checking the latest TVD eps again because of The Originals - I wanted to see the original (hah *g*) back-door pilot and Klaus' return visit. And then I was interested in seeing the fall-out for Caroline, the latest Katherine plot caught my interest, and I was relieved to see one of the factors that had made me quit TVD in the first place was easing off...

But note I haven't said I'm actually watching TVD - just checking it out from the corner of my eye, over in the next room. ;-) I don't think I'm going to get emotionally invested in the show again; I don't trust the writers at all.

So it got worse?? I was wondering if I should maybe start to catch up, but I take it I shouldn't bother.

I'm nodding so hard at the moment you won't believe!

Teen Wolf is the only show that I'm actively seeking, watching promos and ETC...

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

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


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

I haven't watched a vampire show since Angel, so can't comment on that.
But. ... on tw... Holy moon! They rock like whoa! I started it as a guilty pleasure (like dr sexy md) but it turned out such a good show.

Don't watch vamps (both shows) but ITA about TP - WTF! Use John more! It's the only interesting sl anyway, imo. Him and Jed.
