Craig over at the KryptonSite Network has tossed his hat into the ring with a review of The Vampire Diaries pilot. It’s a positive one (4.5 stars out of 5), but also fair; he touches on several points here that previous reviewers have not, including a more in-depth look at the supporting cast (he seems especially impressed with Katerina Graham as Bonnie) and the small town atmosphere of Mystic Falls.
From the very first moments, the pilot reminds me of the first episode of a WB Network show from the times when The WB was good. There’s the pop-culture banter between a soon-to-be-doomed couple, there’s a dark and moody backdrop, and already some action and mystery… all within the first minute. Those worried that this is going to be a Twilight love-fest redux can relax. There’s a lot more going on than the romantic stuff.
He also gives his personal perspective as a fan on Smallville‘s shift in the CW line-up (Vampire Diaries is taking over that show’s 8 p.m. timeslot on Thursday night), which he sees as a potentially good thing for the network and Smallville.
