mmmkay, so i watched the premiere of "the vampire diaries" last night...
and since i am such a loving blogger, i will do a recap for you...
so, this is elena...
apparently she is a brunette. i guess i missed the part in the books where they said she was a brunette. you know...amongst all the talk of her about her blond hair.. but whatev. her hair is shiny...oooo, shiny!
this is stefan...
o hai stefan. i like you. and our children would be lovely. oh wait...you are in love with elena. awesome.
you are new in town and are mysterious. DUHSPICE. and elena likes your leather jackets and tight jeans. obvi. but there is something about you...she thinks she has seen you before. you just look so much like...
oh got it.
the pale, hawt vampire on twilight.
wait...he reminds me of a vampire?

this is Bonnie...
apparently she is a "sistah" and apparently they combined the book characters Bonnie and Meredith into one person. cool. i guess.
Bonnie can see the future by touching a beer bottle. duh! can't you?
these are some humans...
matt (the blond one) looks EXACTLY how matt looked in my head...you know, almost identical to twilight's "mike". awesome. and tyler (the brunette) is too hott to be tyler. i wanted him to look more like a joust. not a hott-spice individual. but anyway...mike dated elena, but they just recently broke up...probably because he looked like "mike" from twilight. he still loves elena.
this is elena's "brother"...
i only put "brother" in quotes, because apparently they decided to forget that elena has a baby sister, and instead give her a brother who loves him some weed...and beer. he probably uses the bottles to see the future, like Bonnie.
and stefan is like, "you like weed?"
and "brother" goes, "yes...it's like a drug to me."
wanna know what else is delicious to "brother"? the horse-faced girl named Vicki. they like to "special hug"...which is totally made up just because the CW likes to throw around that kinda stuff.
"brother" is upset because Vicki doesn't want to "special hug" with him anymore...she just wants to "special hug" with tyler...the too hott guy.
"brother" is sad. better go find him his magical power beer bottle...
o hai. i forgot to mention elena likes to write in her journal at the cemetery.
because that is normal, and stuff...
and a crow likes to freak her out...along with some very fake looking fog.
and guess who is randomly at the cemetery, since it is normal to hang there....
o haaaai stefan.
you are looking rather makey outey this evening...
while stefan and elena flirt, he asks if she is injured because duh...he probably had a beer bottle with him and could predict the future.
sure enough, elena pulls up her pant leg to reveal a huge bleeding gash.
the beer bottle worked!..or did it?
stefan disappears! dun dun duuuuuunnn
later stefan shows up at elena's house, and for some reason he just stands awkwardly on the door step without coming inside.
she thinks he is weird. but he is hot. so all is forgiven.
good thing he happened to show up! elena wants him to go to a party with her to rub his hotness in human-matt's face!
oooo...teen drama.
while they were flirting on the edge of the forest, something just felt so familiar about the scenario...
for some reason she felt like stefan was going to say...
"say it...say it out loud!"

why did stefan remind her of the pale, hawt twilight vampire?
why did his eyes turn red when they were talking about being "passionate"?
why did he run away after his eyes turned red?
was it because of "the fluorescents"? because there are no "fluorescents in the forest".
elena decides stefan is weird. but he is hot. so all is forgiven.
obvi!
while stefan is away, being weird...they find "horse-faced Vicki" was attacked!
looks like it was "an animal attack!"
elena realizes she must watch "twilight" immediately when she gets home, for some serious analysis.
and stefan is like, "what the? don't look at me!...look at my random, mysterious, brother damon!"
this is damon...
o haaaaaai. it's boone from LOST! why are you stefan's brother?
why do you have weird hair? why are you randomly in town?
and whhhhhy is stefan blaming Vicki's attack on you?
damon wonders the same thing, he says,
"don't look at me! it's this guy's fault!"
you know what...i think he might be right.

and stefan and elena were like, "yah...that guy does look pretty guilty. i mean, he has his colla' popped like a straight up wigga'!"
excellent consensus.
and then they made out after elena invited stefan into her house.
actually, i have no idea, since the cable cut out.
until next time.

Love your break-down. I haven't read the books but I watched this (I made Hubby watch it with me. I win. Suckah.) and I liked it but it was predictable and definitely had moments where it needed to be made fun of. :D
LMAO!.........LMAO! Nice recap!! the frealy fog was hilarious... i think Vicki got what she deserved, for walking into the dark forest alone with the freaky fog. haha good one.
HAHAHA This is awesome Lar! Now I don't even need to watch it!!!
HA HA! Lauren, I think I loved your recap more than the actual show! you are so awesome!
Stefan is seriously the hawtness. I am officially in love with him. There were soooo many changes from the book, but it's cool cause when Stefan said the word "passionate" I totally swooned(not to mention the brief glimpse at those abs!!!)
As for the last five minutes...
Matt held hands with his "sister", horse face, while she laid in a hospital bed. She manages to get out one word...vampire.(um having another twilight moment:) cool-aunt-jenna looks in on a brooding weed-loving-'brother'. Caroline complained to Bonnie about how much it sucks that Elena gets all the guys without even trying! Stefan showed up at Elena's late at night(not through the window..he uses the front door)and they have a 'moment' before she invites him inside. Finally, Damon checks out a sulking(alone) Caroline who smiles when she realizes at least one guy seems to think she is hot.
Too much? sorry.
OHHH SNAP!
i can't wait to watch this.
totally going to tonight!
Oh, man! I totally missed this! I was too busy with my Project Runway obsession. Thanks for the recap, though. I can't believe I missed Boone (and his way dorky hair)! Maybe next time...
If you missed it they are having an encore presentation TONIGHT and TOMORROW!
Watch and love!
oh man. last night...my husband was like, "Hey. We should watch that Vampire Diaries show."
1. He hated the movie Twilight.
2. He REFUSES to read the books.
3. He makes fun of me for liking the above said objects.
So why does he want to watch THAT show?
Because secretly he LIKED those other things but he can't admit to it. So by watching Vampire Diaries he is still getting his romantic/vampire fix without admitting to liking Stephanie Meyer's brilliance.
I caught him.
But we didn't watch it. I had too much lamespice homework.
I'll have him read your re-cap.
I loved it.
You're hilar.
The end.
Lurved the recap - better than the actual show. I hope they don't get all "special huggy" on us all the time so I can't watch it anymore.
I don't need to watch the show because that was the BEST RECAP EVER! Love it!!
OK. after reading the re-cap, I'm happy that I recorded it on the DVR it so I can watch it. This will be interesting..........
Bwahaha. This was the most hilarious recap EVA! And now I'm really glad I don't have to watch this ridiculous show.
I thought about watching, but I didn't. Thanks for the recap.
I wont watch the real Vampire Diaries if they will ever be shown over here. I'm sure your version is much better. Hilarious!
It comes on again tonight. I was to busy drinking some wine outside to remember it was on! So, I will be watching tonight. Has anyone read the Vampire Academy series?
Hahaha I loved your recap, I watched the first 15 mintues of it and couldn't take it any more. The fog was the deciding factor.
So Lauren is a genius obvi!!!
I love this recap =]
I tweeted like crazy which drove some people crazy (so don't follow me!) and I loved reading your tweets.
"matt (the blond one) looks EXACTLY how matt looked in my head..."
AGREED!
I don't mind that Mereooke is one person really... I guess...
"was it because of "the fluorescents"? because there are no "fluorescents in the forest"."
HAHAHA agreed!
I was def quoting Twi in my head as I watched some parts!
and finally it kept irking me that the aunt looked like she was the SAME AGE as Elena...just sayin.
LOL! Loved the reacap! Was thinking the same thing while I was watching it...hehe
loved the breakdown that episode totally reflected twilight i swore when they were on the bridge and his eyes went all weird and she asked whats wrong with his eyes that he was gonna go "its the florecents" and stalk off all edward like (which he did) lol and they didnt show what happened when he went into her house they just showed what every else was doing and then dun dun dun someone knows there are vampires
i can't decide whether i love this show because it's a weekly version of twilight or if i hate it for the very same reason.
I'm going to have to ask that you do this after every episode. Thank you!
HAHAHA!!! I watched it last night and was not really thinking about any of this, but now that you mention it, it's ridiculous!!
I hate how Elena's "brother" like weed and beer. You're prob right, he does use them to see the future like Bonndith.
Wow, that bridge scene looks quite familiar...
Love Boone as Damon. I think he's perfect.
I'm going to keep watching =)
I'm glad I didn't see it! All the changes would drive me CRAZY! I just finished the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. I'm betting you would LOVE them! They were SOOOO good! I think I even liked them better than Twilight. =)
Thanks for the recap now I don't even feel like I need to watch!
I only see my future mistakes after I set the empty beer bottle down.
As for horse-faced Vicky, I think she could have, IRL, out fanged any vamp that tried to bite her. Srsly.
Um, didn't get to watch like I wanted {dang reading scriptures to my children, uh... jk} so thank you for your recap, I LOVED it & now I can't wait to watch!
On a very serious note here, and I am begging for an answer, how have some of my friends already bought their 'NEW MOON' tickets!?!? How, when, why!? I neeeeeed to know. Please and thank you.
Still freaking out over Catching Fire. We need to start a forum.
I was going to check it out on Amazon, because they sent me a "watch for free" invite because I have purchased awesome Twilight stuff on Amazon. But now I think I will just wait for you to recap every week, the way you tell it is much more entertaining!
that was awesome
made my day!
I enjoyed the show, but your recap is twenty times better : )
I am so glad I did not watch this.
I love your commentary more.
Actually, I do not get the cw on my cable package, so I will be relying on your story-telling abilities and CW.com

You crack me up!
o haaaaaai, can you do this recap every week? because it was way more fun than watching that show last night...
Oh jeez, I love this recap so much I like want to marry it. But you probably knew that because you consulted your beer bottle. ;)
I also lol'd at the fake fog and the crow, but I couldn't help but watch it all while I lovingly snarked at it. Of course I just ordered the books from Amazon, never having read them before. But now I worry the book will be so different, I will get confuzzled... Oh well, at least I'll be visualizing Hawtie McHawtie Stefan while I'm reading!
You are so funny!
so...I'm assuming that your opinion is that the show is no good. loved the break down with the Twilight twist to it. you are too funny :)
Yes, it's especially cheeseball. Which is why I have set my DVR to record it. Because I totally am going to watch it, and I'm only a little bit embarrassed by that.
I watched last night ONLY because you talked about Stefan.
Lauren - your breakdown of the show was better than the show! :o)
You made me actually want to try watching this...
So, I'm curious on your thoughts about Catching Fire/Hunger Games. The Hunger Games has been optioned by Lionsgate, and Suzanne Collins is reportedly adapting the book for film herself. Who would you cast as Katniss, Peeta, Gale, etc.?
Haven't read the books, but from what I saw in the episode... oh man, you're spot on! Are the books worth reading? I might try them. :)
Haha, this was great!
Before I read the book, I was irritated they changed a lot of things. But then I read it, and it was horrible, so the changes didn't bother me a bit. Glad to see someone wrote Elena in a personality this time around.
Wooohooow! Loved the recap and the live tweeting! TVD doesn't air in Europe yet... as far as I know, cuz I'm a tv-analphabete...
Ah thank you! It sounds JUST like the book! not. Haha. I'm glad you like it. And that Stefan it hott.
Does anyone else only see Elena (the actress) Nina Douaisdkjfs as the teen mother from Degrassi: The Next Canadian Generation?
No, I'm pretty sure thats the name. Thanks for asking.
Maybe her baby is Stefen's....and this is a prequel to her being at ANOTHER high school. And her name is really Mia....
Oh Canada...
HAHaha. I LOVE your version better! okay, so technically i haven't watched it yet, but i will! and your's will still be better. love the twilight added into the story. fabulous.
I feel like I never need to watch the show now. I'll get all I need from here!
Watched it with my girls...laughed with my girls...My son rolled his eyes and said,"is this supposed to be Twilight or something?" We all swooned over Stephan (interesting hairstyle choice...)
Keep filling us in! If I miss an episode I'll catch it all here!
I watched this on east coast time and thought of you during it! I liked it.
BAHAHAHA! :D
I'm still so annoyed that they dyed her blonde hair dark brown! ;)
BAHAHAHA! :D
I'm still so annoyed that they dyed her blonde hair dark brown! ;)
Funny how we said the exact same thing...
i haven't read the books, and i didn't watch the show. so basically i will take your word on everything that was included in this recap.
i laughed a whole lot, regardless =]
I didn't catch it, I even reminded myself.... agggg having a two year old does things to me.. So did you like it! I need to find it online and watch it!
i think i'd be happier reading your recaps then actually watching it... your story lines sound so much better
Lauren! Thank you so much for TOTALLy makin' my day with this post! I love love LOVED it. I watched the first episode too... haven't exactly decided how I feel about it yet though.
<3 Chelsey
PS!!! I'm not sure if you know this but it's "ole vampire legend" that they can't enter someone's house unless they are "officially" invited in. ie: "would you like to come in"... that's why Stefan couldn't come in the first time, but could at the end when Elena "officially" asked :)
Oh my goodness. I am currently reading 'The Vampire Diaries'...it's no Twilight but it works.
Watched the show last night...I think I will just skip it in the future and read your re-cap because it was MUCH better. Although, secretly even though the show was cheesy...I kind of like it!!
Lauren, did you notice like the recycling of old characters from The O.C? Okay I loves me some of that show...I know you do to!!
The guy playing Stefan was in the first season...as Ryan's wrong side o' the tracks buddy who shot Luke at a party!! And Horse-Face Skank Vicki...played Johnny's girlfriend as well. You know the horse face skeezy gal who 'special hugged' Volchek!
Hahah hillarious recap! I'm reading the last book in the series now and am amazed at how they changed so much in the show! But I will continue watching none-the-less! Please keep doing the recaps, they are too funny!
I feel like I just watched it. Fantastic.
After this breakdown, I'm not even sadface that I don't have TV.
*spoiler alert*
that sucks that the cable went out. But horse faced vicki said she felt hot or on fire or something like that.
here is the first episode so you can finish it up...
although do you think this will become a weekly recap? with that I wouldn't even have to watch out of sheer curiosity. I also wonder if the CW will have enough chutzpah to just end the show when the book series ends or will they try futility to keep the franchise going? I guess we will see.
My first thought is "So dumb" Twilight is the only......THE ONLY!!!
I do not like copy cats. They are trying to make a few bucks on Twilights coat tails.
The characters just look to normal and not Edward and Bella.
I will watch it once just to see - but I have a feeling it will be a thumbs down with me. I'll let you know.
I LOVE this! I haven't seen the show or read the book, but I'm pretty sure this was better than both. Your blog always brightens my day, Lauren! :)
I laughed so hard that I cried!! Lauren, you rule, and I love your summary. Now I HAVE to watch the ep on the dvr to see the campy goodness.
I love your new blog header!! Its beautiful. How do you have so many readers?? What is your secret, oh yeah that you are fabulous and everyone wants to read what you have to say haha
HAHAHAH!! Who needs TV when I have you! Will you please do this for the next episode too?!
hi Lauren. I thought Stefan's "uncle" Zach was the hottest one of all.... swoon.
and my cable cut out at the end too!
