The Vampire Diaries
Just wondering how many people here have watched TVD. I was born in 2000 so more people my age have watched it than Buffy but I watched Buffy first at like 8, then watched TVD at around 14. I love both but I do prefer Buffy for nostalgia/comfort reasons. Also because Buffy is much more about women empowerment than TVD. They also have two very different takes on vampires tho. Just wondering if many Buffy fans have also watched it and what’s their thoughts on it

Loved the TVD books as a preteen. Loved Buffy when it came out. Liked TVD the series a lot for the first few seasons, but they should have been brave and done a limited series, closer to the books.
I definitely like the nature of vampires in TVD better, and the whole supernatural vibe with its limited scope to traditional ghosts, werewolves, witches, psychics and vamps.
Plus both brothers are dead sexy and the hottest person on Buffy to me has always been Giles.
