Holiday Gratuitous Videos

Okay, I've rented the first season of The Vampire Diaries and I'm finally watching it. I'm not hooked yet, but I do see the potential that everyone's talking about. I was surprised to see that Damon isn't bad in a cool way, but in a really evil disturbing way -- a nice throwback to old vamp traditions. The actors all look like they should be in graduate school, not high school, but that actually gives Elena an interesting maturity.  She "plays" older than Stefan, who obviously has spent the last 100 years not picking up any social skills.

Eternal life should be good for something other than reeling off dates in a high school history class. Also, has anyone who's written and/or cast this show seen what actual high school football players look like? Here's a hint: they're taller and bigger than the girls in their class. But we'll see where things go.

My favorite moment so far: when Caroline plaintively asks Damon if he's going to kill her and he answers, "Yes, but not yet." You see that she's just a girl and he really is a monster.

Here are your holiday videos! Have a great Christmas...with or without zombie invaders.





I apologize for inflicting Kenny G on you, but I like the video anyway.







I miss Rose Tyler.
