Every plot twist, every kiss, every death, every un-death occasioned passionate fan debate. Hyperbole was its natural wingman, or wing-vampire, if you prefer. A driver of social media, of viewers, of profits, of buzz, “Diaries” in the early years was “Game of Thrones” in its current years, on steroids. 'TVD' wasn't merely hot but smoking in a not too far past- mainly the second and third seasons. Julie Plec is probably the greatest showrunner you've ever heard of. Somerhalder, Wesley and Dobrev are probably the hottest TV stars you've never seen before. 'The Vampire Diaries' is probably the biggest hit you have ever seen.
