The TV Fanatic has an article titled, “The Vampire Diaries First Season Report Card: A+”.
They talk the best and the worst and what to come.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
Overall grade: A+. When The CW premiered this series, I was prepared for a rip-off of The Twilight Saga: a cheesy love story between a vampire and a human, few deaths, no real violence or ongoing mysteries. It’s safe to admit: I was wrong! Elena and Stefan are in a stable, mature relationship; the acting is top-notch; answers are provided on an almost-weekly basis; and the show delivers more twists and turns than the Autobahn.
Spoiler TV has a new casting call for the Vampire Diaries. They are looking for their Alaric. To view they casting call and description go to Spoiler TV.

The Deadbolt has an article entitled, “5 Ways The Vampire Diaries May Take a Bite out of Twilight”.
Here are the reasons they list:
1. The Love Triangle
2. The Buffy Factor
3. The Vancouver Factor
4. Dramatic Irony
5. The Characters, Cast, and Room to Grow
Here is an excerpt from the article:
The Love Triangle
[The Vampire Diaries] The concept of a love triangle in The Vampire Diaries is very similar to that of the Twilight Saga but the differences lie in the character development. Elena likes Stefan, Stefan is attracted to Elena, and Damon simply wants to have his kicks with the both of them.
In The Vampire Diaries novels, Damon does develop true feelings for Elena but it will be interesting to see what route the writers decide to take with the show. It’s clear Twilight Saga fans have fallen head over heels for the love triangle between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).
With so much time in between Twilight films, The Vampire Diaries could fill the love triangle void that Twilight Saga fans will be missing once New Moon leaves theatres. After all, nothing says love like two vampires squaring off to the death over a human girl. Oh, the irony. But remember, there was also a love triangle in Buffy the Vampire Slayer between Angel, Buffy, and Spike, which proved to be more successful than anyone could have imagined.

E! had a little scoop on the Vampire Diaries differences between the book and the shows.
Here is what they had to say:
Courtney in Tucson, Ariz.: I just started reading The Vampire Diaries, and oh my goodness they are fantastic! Do you have any idea on how closely the new TV series will follow these wonderful books?
You’ll see a number of differences right off the bat in the first ep. First, Elena’s very young sister has been replaced by a troubled teen brother, and the siblings are returning to high school several months (as opposed to several years in the book) after their parents’ deaths. TV Elena is the virtual opposite of book Elena: the blue-eyed blonde is now a Bella-like brunette. As for the vampires, instead of his romantic rooftop boarding-house quarters, Stefan lives with an “uncle” (another nonexistent character in the first novel)—but Damon is definitely eee-vil, beginning with the gruesome opening scene. Other characters and relationships have been slightly tweaked as well—for better or worse? We’re dying to hear what you think, so be sure to let us know after the Sept. 10 premiere!
