...from what I've gleaned through online osmosis, I understand that the TV TVD made Stefan and Damon Civil War-era humans, not 15th century Italians...

So, are you saying Italians aren't Human? ;)

Well I finally understand why they have an Italian family name then. It wouldn't be impossible in Civil War-era Virginia, but it certainly struck me as unusual.

From the TCA interview:

Unlike The Vampire Diaries, which kills off all of the "grown ups," The Secret Circle promises to keep it multi-generational.

Good. I'm finding the teen angst part of TVD a bit hard to take. Although sadly there's going to be another teen love triangle in this show, too. Ergh.

Interview With The Secret Circle’s Natasha Henstridge
What drew you to this character?

Kevin Williamson. It wasn't just the character; it was the idea that he has got a great vision. This is the kind of character that could be a total moustache-twirling, evil, batty, but he brings a lot of dynamics to a character, and so I think it's not going to be as one-dimensional as some of these kinds of things could be. Also, it's really fun to be on a really young, hip, relevant [show]. It's back in that place. It's kind of fun.

Interesting. Be sure to read the rest and check out Natasha's poster in the link above. :)
 
I watched the pilot yesterday. While not bad, it's not great either. The pilot definitely felt very rushed. So for now, I'll keep watching it because of Britt.
 
Saw the first episode.

- Lots of pretty girls.

- Nice to see Phoebe Tonkin again.

- I thought the lead was one of the Panabaker sisters.

- I liked the "corruption of power" angle with Tonkin's character.

- I wouldn't mind knowing what the previous generation did that went wrong.

Those are the highlights I noticed. Beyond that, I wasn't impressed, but then again, I wasn't expecting to be. I doubt I'm part of their target audience. Or maybe I am. It had pretty girls.

Well Phoebe Tonkin/Faye I hate...so they succeded with making her a horrible character for Cassie/Britt Robertson...The lead...I assume you mean her...she was the main character on CW show Life Unexpected...she rocked it then and she rocks it now...love Britt.

I think they focused too much on Cassie, Diana, Faye & Adam(AKA John Conner). Melissa & Nick didn't get anything for those characters...reminds me of TVD S1 when Jeremy, Bonnie & Matt got ignored alot. :( Natasha Henstridge as Dawn Chamberlain...the Principle was nice. ;)
 
^ Yeah, Britt Robertson was the lead I was referring to. And I forgot to mention Natasha Henstridge. You know the years are passing when you turn on the TV and see her as "the principal". :rommie:

As reported earlier in the thread it was on iTunes a few days before the premiere...

The premiere of the CW's The Secret Circle scored a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating at 9pm. This time our polled readers nailed it. Last year Nikita premiered to a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating and Hellcats to a 1.2 rating. On Tuesday, fellow rookie Ringer, premiered with a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating. Earlier The Vampire Diaries season premiere drew a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating, which was down 12% from last year's premiere 1.6 adults 18-49 rating.

It's already apparent that the Secret Circle PR spin is going all retentionista today.

Take from that what you will. :shrug:
 
I enjoyed it, it wasn't anything amazing right now, but it definitely has potential to get really good. Does anyone know how much it has to do with the books? Would it be a good idea to read them?
 
Well, I'm not gonna judge it too quickly. It could get better, but so far I like the book (I've only read the 1st one so far) better. I know that LJ Smith's characters in her books are pretty one dimensional, but I like the story of the first book better.

I like how in the book, over the summer Cassie meets this boy she can't stop thinking about, and then he ends up being Diana's boyfriend, and it's this big OMG moment. The connection between them makes total sense and you actually feel something about it. Whereas in the show, they almost kiss out of nowhere and you don't feel anything about it! Although this might make sense later with the whole written in the stars thing.

Anywhoo, for now I give it a 2.5 out of 5. I hope the story and plot builds up to something nice, like in Vampire Diaries.

PS....Fay, not as badass as in the book. (but pretty!)
