There they go, trampling on my adolescence again

I'm ALL for more sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural TV shows, believe me.

But Vampire Diaries, really? I remember reading that as a teen and even at the time it was like the teen vamp equivalent of a really trashy romance novel--it was not the most amazing writing and the melodramatic angst was over the top, but it was kind of fun because of that.

I really can't imagine it translating well to a TV series.

Although in the terrible terrible clip that I watched on Spoiler TV, Ian Somerhalder (previously of Smallville and Lost) was damn good looking as the naughty vampire brother. Yummmm...

All in all, I'm with sundancekid. I know everyone is riding the vampire-mania of Twilight in the entertainment industry, but how about some hot werewolves or hot zombies or something else.

Or really, I would just be happy with more supernatural romance stories/books/shows/movies where the sexy, dangerous supernatural character is the female protagonist and SHE has to figure out how to navigate her strength and sexuality around a mortal man (like Blood and Chocolate!!!).

I'm pretty good on scared/weak mortal girls and sexy/dangerous supernatural boys for right now ;)

I am a little curious about how zombies can be hot. But my zombie awareness is very firmly rooted in World War Z, so.

I was thinking more of ironic-hot than hot-hot. Like in Zombie Blondes or Generation Dead, where being undead is the vapid, popular kid thing to do. Think more zombie!Heathers or zombie!meangirls, and less Dawn of the Dead or World War Z.
