syncope | (no subject)

I just closed a tab that was a page on Henry Jenkins' website. My friends suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I attempted to wade through that ponderous prose and just gave up and asked for a summary. Yet I kept the tab open...thinking I would read it? Idk.

Seriously, do I need to read the books? I am inclined to read them so I can negotiate the show from the proper perspective, but I hesitate as I was burnt on THAT OTHER VAMPIRE CRAPFEST TEEN SERIES. How bad are they, with Twilight as the gold standard?

Are there coms and junk yet? I just dumped all the ontds off my fl so I have room for new garbage coms I can scroll over.

That's curious. Usually I'd expect the heroine to be blonded-up for TV/movies, not darkened. Why do you think they did that?

*shrugs* Who knows? Perhaps because they liked the actress they decided to change the hair color of the character?

I vote for Bella-fying. The CW knows their audience.

I agree. There are many ways in which TVD visually resembles Twilight, and I think making Elena a brunette is just the first of them.
