The Vampire Diaries
Character Profile Four: Katherine Pierce
Lucky girl Nina Dobrev getting to play not one, but two characters in the same show! Talk about stretching the acting muscles. And she does so well, I might add. While Elena seems a little meek and mild and in the background somehow, Katherine is anything but and again, is as opposite to Elena as Damon is to Stefan.
Katherine is an exciting character and again, adds fuel to the slow-burning fire surrounding the mysterious and supernatural history of Mystic Falls. She’s mean, but not in an obviously crass way. We learn that she’s a vampire, and the reason for both Stefan and Damon turning into vampires and both falling in love with her.
She’s an articulate manipulator of the highest calibre, masterful at playing the game to win, no matter what the odds. As long as she is in control of the situation, all is well. For Katherine, it’s always about control. And she’s a survivor. In some ways, I do see this one similarity in Elena as well. Strong and willful, it’s just that Katherine shows it openly and doesn’t care about hurting people. I guess when you’ve been a vampire for hundreds of years, caring about humans and feelings doesn’t really come into the equation any more. Good stuff! Another juicy character to get our hands dirty with.
You’ll love to hate Katherine and Nina Dobrev does an excellent job of portraying her. And if you thought the love triangle in Twilight was complicated, you ain’t seen nothing yet boys and girls!

The Vampire Diaries
Television Show
Three Seasons (to date in the U.S.A)
Instead of giving a blow-by-blow account of everything that I’ve been able to see (living in NZ) of The Vampire Diaries, I thought I’d look at some of the characters that make up the show so far and discuss them instead. This might also include tidbits about why they make the show interesting, entertaining and/or fun to watch.
But to start, I think it’s a good idea to briefly intro the show, how I got interested in it, what kind of show it is and then get into the character profiles.
To be clear, again, like Twilight, I was initially uninterested in TVD until a friend of mine put me onto the show (a male friend who insisted it was better than Twilight). I decided to give the show a go and must admit, it did take a while to grow on me. I didn’t think much of it after having read the first book from the author L.J Smith (which is VERY different in almost every way to the television show).
They’ve done good things with TVD and it’s become a “tween” success. But I have to say, the storyline in places is a bit dull and it’s the characters that are interesting so I’ll focus on the major characters rather than the story for now.
In order:
Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley)

If you have a fav movie poster you’d like to see, feel free to make a request and I’ll see what I can do about finding it on the net :) Even if it’s an old one, just msg me and I’ll see what I can do!
Speaking of older movies, THE LOST BOYS is one of my favs and continues to be one of my all-time fav movies EVER.
Why? BECAUSE it’s so kick-ass good! If you haven’t seen it, you really, really should.
That is all.
