But then, all of my friends started and ended season 1 giving it good reviews. The made me reconsider. I must say after episode 7 the series gets very interesting. The developing of the characters is very good. It really kept me on my screen for the rest of the season after episode 7 and the series finale is a great cliffhanger.<br /><br />I would give 7/10.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155742148621288121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-45868053846322687622012-11-23T12:29:56.677-08:002012-11-23T12:29:56.677-08:00Anna is the definition of Awesome.Anna is the definition of Awesome.Kuudere-Kunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537085979461349854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-62850363107967892132010-08-30T23:10:55.481-07:002010-08-30T23:10:55.481-07:00Gabe, Pearl and daughter were good and the Alaric ...Gabe, Pearl and daughter were good and the Alaric Damon dunamic interesting.<br /><br />cheers for the book infoTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-66601204668018922192010-08-30T19:53:29.137-07:002010-08-30T19:53:29.137-07:00I thought the teaming up between Damon and Alaric ...I thought the teaming up between Damon and Alaric kicking ass were the best scenes in the show, and I enjoyed Pearl and her daughter as well. <br /><br />I thought the season finale was very interesting, and you wonder whether at the end if Damon figured out what was going on.<br /><br />Lastly in regards to the books - in them Damon IS the crow. Vampires can shapeshift in the books, but I assume they didn't do that in the show for CGI $$$. Also in the books from memory there was no tomb and Katherine fakes her own death, (the boys discover a pile of ash and her ring) to begin the start of her centuries old mind game...and the boys are also from Renaissance Italy, not Civil-War era America....Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17172423699175288220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-89877440339492938022010-08-30T12:31:20.103-07:002010-08-30T12:31:20.103-07:00Heh heh--yes I already know about Mia playing her ...Heh heh--yes I already know about Mia playing her third vampire (not including the character I "cast" her as in WATCHERS the virtual spinoff of BUFFY--Cassandra of Bruges).Zahir Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533361554787004824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-89976957859213070872010-08-30T10:53:30.528-07:002010-08-30T10:53:30.528-07:00Oh, Zahir - should have said and you'll probab...Oh, Zahir - should have said and you'll probably already be aware but Mia Kirschner is in 30 Days of Night: Dark Days as LilithTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-83573966880568664822010-08-30T10:50:44.375-07:002010-08-30T10:50:44.375-07:00Christine: Its not as funny as Buffy, or as racy a...Christine: Its not as funny as Buffy, or as racy as True Blood.
