The Vampire Diaries 3.1, The Secret Circle 1.1

[meganbmoore]

TVD: This show watches pretty fast when anything involving Damon, Klaus, women being abused, or men bonding over dead women was watched in a fastforward mode that was just slow enough to be followed. Though, this week, that basically left Caroline's scenes, which is quite a change from the beginning of the series. What I did watch at regular speed, I liked, barring the lack of Bonnie.

TSC: FYI, if you watched the show and haven't read the books, most of Cassie and Adam's conversations were between Cassie and Diana in the book, and I do not like how we seem to be headed to "female rivalry over boys" territory. And then there was the bonus of basically opening the show with a woman slowly burning to death. And the reveal about Natassja Henstridge's character at the end. Notably the only living mother of the teens that we know about. But there were lots of girls talking and the gothic and supernatural bits were mostly fun, so I''ll stick with it for a bit and see how it goes.

Feel free to ask me about specific plot points for either in comments.

I agree with you about TVD, so I'm really hopeful that The Secret Circle will be good. There almost certainly will not be as much violence and misogyny. Certainly not by our heroes, anyway.
