My gf makes me watch this show (i-it's not like I would watch it on my own, b-baka!), and it REALLY suffers from not following the 'show don't tell' principle. Every character, it seems, has a premeditated monologue in store about how he or she feels and what a sad tragedy this whole life is. Plus, I'm sick of having characters have phone conversations, it always makes a very dull and boring scene with unimaginative editing. The main problem for me, though, is pacing: the whole plotline of Elena drinking voodoo juice to see her dead beloved, her getting side effects and conveniently having a catharsis by the end of the episode is just too much plot in too little time. We didn't need to see Damon and Bonnie so soon, just let us have first few episodes without them so we could actually relate to the characters when they say they miss them. And Jesus Christ am I tired of parties. All they do, literally all they do in their college is having parties. (Well, that's what they did in school, anyway, so no change there, I guess.) It makes me sad because I actually admire the screenwriters' ability to weave several unrelated plotlines into one (seemingly) coherent plotline. The wide array of characters is used, some of them even have agenda now and then, and I just wish the creators of this show would try to right their wrongs.
