The Deadbolt has a feature up on the upcoming Vampire Diaries TV series – not really a review, but an overall look at the show and potential audience. There’s a bit of conjecture about changes from the books and producers’ motivation – hey, I know we’re huuuuge fans of speculation around here, but unless Kevin Williamson or Julie Plec offer up tidbits outright, it remains speculation – and while the article implies that the show will stick to the plot/themes from the original four books, there are a few quotes from CW Network head Dawn Ostroff that contradict that, via IGN (thanks, Lily):
It’s got a lot of romance, a little bit of scares and it’s got some of the mythology that’s very, very dense because the seven books [it's based on] have all the mythology written out. We felt that that would really help in terms of keeping the show different, unique. We know where the show is going. It’s not a guessing game for us.
Although a lot of what you saw today [at the CW upfront - ed.] was set in the high school, [the story] really affects the whole town because the town was a town where vampires originally came and started, so [many] of the vampires start to come back (highlight for spoilers).
The second quote in particular touches on an element introduced in Nightfall. So The Return trilogy – Nightfall, Shadow Souls, and Midnight – may very well be playing a role in the TV series.
RabidDoll.com, part of the BlipNetwork of sites (which includes Alpha Airlock, formerly SyFy Portal), has posted a positive (and, um…adjective-heavy?) review of the pilot.
