The Vampire Diaries TV SeriesThe NY Post throws down the gauntlet and ticks off five reasons why Vampire Diaries is better than Twilight, citing legacy, violence, sex, a strong, independent female lead, and how Vampire Diaries is the under-dog:

“The vampires, while pretty, are still sort of vicious,” explained Lindsay Soll, editor of MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog. “When they’re hungry and about to feed, their fangs come out — they don’t even have fangs in ‘Twilight’ — and their veins stick out. They’re not afraid to make pretty people ugly.”

They’re also not afraid to make pretty people die.

Speaking of the NY Post, PopWrap name-checks Vampire Diaries as one of the 10 Best Shows of 2009:

9. “The Vampire Diaries”
Scoff if you must, but “Vampire Diaries” haters are synonymous with the uninitiated. To know this show is to love it, and to write it off as a “Twilight” knock-off is a huge mistake. If Edward or Bella ever said anything as astute or acerbic as Stefan or Elena, I would die of shock. And with Damon, Ian Somerhalder has breathed dead life [into] one of the most devious, diabolical and delicious villains in decades. Scenes (and costumes) like this one don’t hurt either.

In case you missed our tweet yesterday: The song used in the “Chapter” promo is “Losing You” by Otto’s Daughter.

We’d also like to reiterate that the Bloodlines episode synopsis currently up on IMDb is completely fake – just in case “Mistic” Falls didn’t tip you off.

And finally, a good bit of news for TVD fans in the Netherlands: Vampire Diaries makes its official debut on January 31st at 9:30pm, NET 5.

    Well put. I can definatly put a few other reason I like TVD more than Twilight. I am actually getting tired of the comparisons bc other than that they are about HS girls and Vampires……..There is no comparison. They both have appeal in there own right, and the same would go for True Blood, Interveiw, Kindred among many other tittles. We love the Vampires so we watch but its more about the Characters and TVD fans love this story! Simply saying Stefan or Dammon or Nina are HOT is a shallow reason to watch but Hey we won’t stop you. I love the Delicious Tension between all the characters and the foreboading is intense and keeps us comming back for more MY HATs off to the writters and the CASt. Keep it comming its an all you can eat.

    Wow! A mainstream paper coming out and saying what we’re all thinking! I agree, the article is well written, lots of good points. I would also add that each episode of tVD is actually superior to either Twilght movies in overall plot, pace and acting! I’ve been trying to get my die hard Twi friends on board with tVD for awhile, and it’s finally working – marathon week is reeling them in. They thought they were being disloyal to Twi for tuning in, but let’s face it – resistance is futile.
