Sabrina Rojas Weiss over at MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog has reviewed the pilot for the Vampire Diaries TV series. As far as we’re aware, none of the previous pilot reviewers have much – if any – knowledge of the books. That makes this an especially interesting review, as Sabrina is someone who has previously read the books and can comment on it from a book fan’s perspective.
Her article seems to be a positive one, and Sabrina does note that while there are changes that are jarring for book readers, they do work and make sense in the context of the story for the show. We also appreciate the shout-out to Mrs. Flowers, who (along with her ancient washing machine) is sadly missing from the TV series. A shame, because we think that Betty White would be excellent in the role. ;)
You can read the entire review on the Hollywood Crush blog (be warned, there are spoilers), and be sure to check out and comment on Sabrina’s earlier review of the Vampire Diaries books.

Betty White! Yes! A dotty old lady with a dirty mouth. Perfect! Tara(Quote)

Maybe we should start a petition to get Betty White on the show in a Mrs. Flowers guest spot? ;) Red(Quote)
