  2. Wray Said,

    I might watch the first couple of episodes. The lead actors look game so it could be a decent show – and perfect for the CW. I am a die-hard LOST fan so it’s great to see Boone…er Ian Somerhalder again.

    And it has vampires. Awesome.

  3. Shannon the Movie Moxie Said,

    I’m totally going to give it a shot, I can’t resist checking out a tv vampire show and actually usually give anything supernatural a shot. Ian Somerhalder rocks, I will admit the fact that he’s in it swerved it from a maybe-I’ll-check-it-out to a definite-lock.

  4. Marina Antunes Said,

    I strained a bit trying to pinpoint where I’d seen Ian before. And then it hit me.

  5. Shannon the Movie Moxie Said,

    You gonna leave us hanging Marina?

  6. Marina Antunes Said,

    Woops. Ian. I remember him from Lost!

  7. Shannon the Movie Moxie Said,

    Aha! I shoulda known…

  8. Wray Said,

    Also,

    Thanks for the link to the book online. I just finished reading – it is goes superfast and ends on an abrupt cliffhanger.

    I can see that it would make a fun series especially the spooky elements.

    As far as the characters go, looks like they only made a few changes. One best friend (Bonnie) and one “frenemy” (Caroline). Apparently there is some talk about introducing the character of Meredith later…

    It makes sense that they made the lead a brunette since they cast a blonde as Caroline – the opposite of BtVS.

    Also, Margaret (the little sister) is now Jeremy (the slightly younger and troubled brother).

    I’m curious to see how this unfolds.
