I love the love triangle between Damon, Stefan, and Elena. The first time I watched it I was hooked I could not stop watching it. It took me less than a week to finish the first two seasons. I've always thought that Elena and Damon were meant for each other but, I also loved watching Elena and Stefan be together. If you are looking for a show that you will sometimes know what's going to happen and sometimes not this is the show.

It is very sad but it keeps it entertaining aswell as all of the excitement. I love this show. It is my favourite show ever. I like it more than all movies and i hope i get to watch the whole season very soon. I just hope it has a happy ending. Not a mysterious ending....not unless there is going to be a seventh season. This show is great. A lot of others should watch this. It is very inspiring and entertaining. It sucks how its not free. If it was i would already be done, waiting for more episodes.
