So after reading the first book, I've finally decided to start the series. I loved the pilot, but the second episode was a little underwhelming. I've heard it starts off slowly though, so hopefully each episode improves.
I really like Elena. She looks a lot like Shiri Appleby, and kind of reminds me of Katie Holmes circa Dawson's. Damon kind of annoys me... which is weird, because I normally like his type of character more than I do Stefan's.
I think Bonnie is my favorite character so far, but I do really like Jeremy, Vicki, and Jenna (Although it's very hard to believe her as the aunt since the actress is 23 and younger than a lot of the cast, who are supposed to be way younger than her). Caroline is cool, albeit slightly annoying, Mike is okay so far, but I don't really like Tyler.
I really like the mythology so far, and am excited to see how far it strays from the book series. I'll update the farther I get!

Glad to see you started watching it I bet you will love it once you get more into it. Elena reminded me of Liz with the diary stuff and actually my mom said she reminded her of Shiri glad to see someone else say it.

Just wanted to say that I'm now up to episode seventeen and I've fallen completely in love. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think Vicki is my favorite character, despite her appearance of only seven episodes. I'm so disappointed that she was killed off, and I think she would have been really awesome if they kept her around as a vampire.
Other than Vicki, I think Caroline is my other favorite. She's hilarious and reminds me a lot of Cordelia from Buffy. I've heard about her change in the second season, and I'm very excited for it. Bonnie, Elena, Jenna, Damon, and what little I've seen of Katherine are cool, too.
My only gripe is that sometimes main characters go for like three or four episodes without being in them... for example, Bonnie. Her grandmother dies and she disappears for like five episodes. Wtf?
I also really like Anna.

lol its an unpopular opinion with me. I really didn't like her! She just really bugged me.
The Lexi episode is when I fell in love with it. I'm still so gutted she wasn't a regular. She was awesome!

I really liked Lexi too. I hear she's in a (flashback) episode in Season 2: is that correct?
I also forgot to say that I really like Alaric and this whole Isobel storyline, as well.

I am with Peyton I was gutted about Lexi and in that moment I truly hated Damon. I loved the actress. Lexi is in a flashback episode in season 2. I am not the biggest fan of Vicky but I am glad you liked her Caroline is kind of like Cordy but way more likable I think early on. Alaric/Isobel story was very interesting I loved when we first saw her and they were playing Cosmic love. Glad to see you are loving it Pacey can't wait to hear more of your thoughts.

I'm glad you guys are all starting to watch the show! Caroline is one of my favorite characters as well along with Jeremy and Bonnie. Tyler will grow on you especially in season 2!
