Travis Yanan weighs in with another review of the Vampire Diaries pilot script, and seems reasonably confident that it will make it on the Fall schedule.
Vampire Diaries, to borrow a term from thefutoncritic’s review is pretty boilerplate teen drama / vampire drama stuff. It starts out with a couple pages of “Ooh, isn’t this creepy? Oh, noes! Vampire attack!” but doesn’t subvert that cliché the way, say, Buffy did by having the blonde school girl turn out to be the vampire…
…One thing this series does have that excites me is Ian Somerhalder as Stefan’s evil vampire older brother, Damon. Boone Carlyle, we miss you on our TV screens.
Again, this all comes down to execution. I have few doubts this will be on CW’s fall schedule… after all, vampires are so in.
It’s becoming clear from reading these reviews and from comments on the subject that Ian Somerhalder may well be one of the deciding factors in people tuning in to this series, not least amongst established book fans who want to see exactly how well he portrays Damon.
It also appears that book fans are going to have to batten down the hatches in preparation for round two of the ‘VD’ jokes. And we thought it was out of everyone’s systems 15 years ago… ;)
