How much action is there in Vampire Diaries?

How much action is there in Vampire Diaries? NO SPOILERS PLEASE! Just finished season 1 episode 1, about to go into episode 2. I intend to watch the first season and see if I am still interested and if this is the show for me. I love vampires, and I like the “brooding vampire” trope, so I decided to give TVD a chance. I watched Supernatural, Buffy, Angel and I love action so I expected thi…

Before – are we watching the same show? I see nothing horribly wrong with this show at all, in fact first 3 episodes were great, generic but fun.

Before – are we watching the same show? I see nothing horribly wrong with this show at all, in fact first 3 episodes were great, generic but fun. I see the show getting some massive hate, I don’t understand why. I read one review and the review only said the show was repetitive but other than that it was complaining about things unrelated to the story, atmosphere or show itself, it made zero sense to me. Is something going on I’m missing here? This isn’t some massively innovative show or …

What are some examples of shows that were surprisingly progressive for the era they were around in?

What are some examples of shows that were surprisingly progressive for the era they were around in? One example is when Touched by an Angel aired an episode back in 1996 where the angels managed to get a father to accept the fact that his son not only had AIDS, but that he was also gay. The AIDS part wasn’t that revolutionary for the mid-90s as many TV shows at the time had episodes about it, but the gay part was a big deal, especially since i…

Shout out to Benjamin Chivers (young Isaac) from The Devil’s Hour [spoilers]

( www.reddit.com )

Shout out to Benjamin Chivers (young Isaac) from The Devil’s Hour For most of this series this kid just annoyed me. It just seemed like an anchor around in the neck of everybody else. But in the final episode of the second season, he turns into this sort of galaxy brain where he can understand what will happen and what has happened and what might happen. The transformation is subtle and I think the actor carr…

Assuming Christopher Reeve’s tragic accident hadn’t occurred, which TV show or character from the Peak/Prestige TV age would he have been best cast in?

Assuming Christopher Reeve’s tragic accident hadn’t occurred, which TV show or character from the Peak/Prestige TV age would he have been best cast in? So just before Reeve’s accident in 1995, his film career had taken a bit of a dive and he was doing TV movies to try and pay the bills. Assuming he hadn’t been paralyzed, there’s a good chance he would have been considered as the lead or a major supporting actor in several high-profile TV shows after 2000. Which shows/characters would he have be…

Which actor made you change your mind about them?

Which actor made you change your mind about them? Who is an actor that you underestimated (or disliked) at the beginning of their career, but appreciate now? My choice, Keri Russell. When she started out, I didn’t really notice her, but after watching The Americans, and now The Diplomat, I’m really impressed. submitted by /u/musememo

What are some incredibly acclaimed shows barely anyone talks about ? I am currently watching My Brilliant Friend and I am kinda blown away by how incredible it is, probably a top 5 show ever for me and the best coming of age story I have ever seen along with Moonlight. However I barely see anyone discussing it maybe because its not an english language show but still there was a lot of buzz for stuff like Squid Ga…

Your favorite “replacement” character? When a character leaves a show, and another brought in, who’ve been your favorites? I know Ben and Chris coming into Parks And Recreation after Mark Brendanawicz left is definitely going to be up there. submitted by /u/alt2_
