maderrThe vampire hero is by the book.
The OSC I'm going to stab before this episode is over.
But the best friend is kinda growing on me. He's an asshole, but a goddamn funny (paranoid) asshole.
Otherwise 30 minutes into this show it's just lather rinse repeat.
Why must supernatural detectives always be vampires (and occasionally demons for so called variety). Come on. I refuse to believe I'm the only one who has thought outside the bloodsucking box. Boo hiss.
I think if I keep watching this it would only be because I am nothing if not a glutton for punishment (and lucky you? dear readers, at some point it's gonna piss me off enough to either do more with dwtd or start something brand spanking new. I will whip this supernatural genre back into shape if I have to stake all the fucking vampires myself).
I so need an icon that expresses my feelings on vampires.

Date: 2007-09-30 03:57 am (UTC)This show is so cliche that the concept has been aired on tv at LEAST 3 times that I can think of.
I'd love to see something interesting on tv involving vampires for once.

Date: 2007-09-30 04:42 am (UTC)I wonder if it's too late to convince them to make the best friend the main character.

Date: 2007-09-30 05:00 am (UTC)Also, the storytelling and camera style reminded me very distinctly of Burn Notice, except not as good.
I vote for more DwtD, but I'll probably be staying away from the show unless my brother decides he actually really likes it, which seems a bit unlikely.

Date: 2007-09-30 12:55 pm (UTC)A different main character would make me happier about watching the show, though. He is the only cast member that they didn't change since the show's inception. Somebody really wanted him... can't quite imagine why.

Date: 2007-09-30 01:04 pm (UTC)I'm wondering about the whole 'love' thing, though. The stuff I read about the show mention her as the 'love that he cannot have'/'forbidden love' thing, which is rather tired. But in this episode I saw more of the protective kind of thing, as if she were still a child. But, that's not to say it won't develop into love. Still, it would be interesting to have a vampire show without a Forbidden Love.
The critics like Jason Dohring (the friend/mentor) best so far, too. I liked his character in Veronica Mars, and he is playing mostly the same here, so he should be good.
Wow, this is probably way more discussion than the show has earned. ^_^
Yay, more DwtD or something new!! I do love your reverse inspiration.^_^

Date: 2007-09-30 01:08 pm (UTC)OSC is a phrase my sibs and I came up with years ago, mostly to apply to the moronic women in video games but it applies everywhere else too -- Obligatory Stupid Chick. The fuckwit Damsel in Distress, you might say.
Gods that annoyed me. I mean there was no reason for him to act that way, no reason to be obsessed, we only know there might be something cause we're told there will be something. Without being force fed that, I fail to see anything at all -__- Argh, it aggravates!

Date: 2007-09-30 03:41 pm (UTC)Some English lit authorities say that there are no new stories, just variations. I'd say the same is true with TV shows. :)
no subject
Date: 2007-09-30 04:09 pm (UTC)Yes, but there are many variations that are more inspired than the vampire detective one. *points at DWTD*
Besides, were I a vampire, I wouldn't spend my time lamenting the loss of my mortality and do pro bono work. There would me better things to spend the night doing. x_x

Date: 2007-09-30 04:17 pm (UTC)One of these days I'm going to write the most obnoxious vampire story on the face of the planet and it will of course have to take place in Transylvania. You're going to be volunteered as my resource for that, and likely your beautiful country will ban me from ever getting within a hundred yards of the border.
