When I found this The Vampire Diaries season 4 boxset australia I was thrilled. I had followed True Blood until half way through the forth season when I said enough is enough. I watched Twilight up until the last movie when it just got bizarre. I was hoping this series would be different than the others--more captivating with less gratuitous sex and teenage drama. And it was in the first two seasons. It was by far the best vampire series I had seen. But then by the third season it began to get old and weird.
The plot was advancing and then digressing as it traveled in circles to the point that I said enough already. Elana and Stephan are following the same path as Sookie and Bill in True Blood. They love each other so much that one cannot live with out the other, and then they are cool. She finds herself attracted to his vampire brother, and then she's back hot for Stephan, but he doesn't want her. Oh wait, yes he does, but she is not sure about him. Klaus is evil and then he isn't. We have to kill the originals, and then when we have them, we let them go because we can't kill them without hurting our friends. There was so much back and forth with all of this that my brain got whiplash watching it. If the fourth season follows down this path, then just like True Blood and Twilight, I'm done.
The show is great, if a little cheesy at times...even though I'm past my 20's, it's like my closet teenie-bopper fave show. I wasn't sure I would recognize some of what is on the soundtrack but really like some of the music on the show...wasn't even sure they had a soundtrack, so I looked it up on Amazon and decided to check it out. There are several cool tracks, and I've enjoyed the soundtrack. It has an edgy, dark yet hip vibe that totally fits the show. I'm glad I purchased it. I received it quickly and in excellent condition for a great price.
I love this series and I will buy each one the day it comes out! Besides the great acting,each episode has more than one thing happening at the same time. Keeps you guessing and wanting more. Most series I will watch and then put away to watch again on down the line. But not this one! I watch the whole season and turn around and watch it again! Ihave 3 seasons and have watched each 3 times.
