Okay, so I'm ten minutes into the first episode of the Vampire Diaries. So how many sort-of-bad episodes I have to get through untill the good stuff starts then?

Two truths that influenced why I never started watching the show in the first place:

1. I find Ian Somerhalder creepy looking. Like, he's hot, but he's so hot in a way that it starts looking unreal and a bit plastic? Yeah.

2. I don't find the other brother hot at all whatsoever. He reminds of me Angel's muppet during S5, in fact. *shrug*

National Geographic is having a special on Octopuses in the memory of Paul the octopus.

THAT'S SO ADORABLE.

A little nitpick about The Walking Dead: it's too quiet. There's moments when it makes you think you accidentally hit mute. I know it's supposed to be ~suspensful~ but, ah, it's not really. I watched an extended version of the pilot and it was especially noticeable in that. It's better at normal episode length though.

Apart from that, I'm liking it. ( spoilers for ep. 2 ) It's a bit weird to be seeing the beginning because serious shit has gone down in the comics, and it's sooo different by now. Still, good.

Rule number one about The Walking Dead: NEVER GET ATTACHED TO ANYONE.
