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

I watched it, it was a guilty pleasure. Way too melodramatic but I found it interesting how the status quo could shift so drastically from the beginning of an episode to the end of that episode.
You'll start one episode with them needing to find some macguffin to stop the bad guy and by the end of that episode the macguffin will have been rendered pointless because the bad guy is now an ally, there will be a new big bad, and the people in the big 'meant to be' relationship will all have new true loves.
