Fortunately,most of them get better as the show continues.
He also torments Caroline throughoutThe Vampire Diariesseason 1, something the characters forgive him too easily for.
Unfortunately, he and Elena have little chemistry to speak of.
It’s clear from the start that Elena views him more as a friend than anything else.
This makes it all the more frustrating whenThe Vampire Diariesattempts to stir up conflict between him and Stefan.
It’s a relief thatThe Vampire Diariesdrops this act, as it benefits none of the characters involved.

She gives Elena a hard time over cheerleading and seems incredibly shallow.
In addition to being the perfect vampire, Stefan comes across as the perfect boyfriend.
Without knowing Stefan’s backstory, the claim that he’s a “do-gooder” seems warranted.
Based on the novels by L.J. Smith, The Vampire Diaries is a story about the developing love triangle between Elena Gilbert and two vampiric brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore. Set in the town of Mystic Falls, Virginia, the show follows the trio from high school through college as they battle for one another’s affection.
And even Paul Wesley’s performance can’t save Stefan from bland characterization inTVD’s opening episodes.
Prior to this, Vicki nearly dies once and is turned into a vampire.
Needless to say, killing her for real feels like a bit much.
In general,it feels like too much happens, too fast, in Vicki’s briefVampire Diariesarc.
These aspects of her character could also have given the show more topics to explore.
Ultimately,The Vampire Diariesopts to kill Vicki instead, one of its most questionable choices from season 1.
This feels more fitting later on, butThe Vampire Diariesseason 1’s initial flashbacks feel a bit jarring.
Whatever the explanation is,The Vampire Diariesimproves season 1’s approach to showing Stefan and Damon’s history.
In some ways, that makes it harder to watch the show’s earliest attempts.
This is tragic, as Lexi makes a good impression with her little time on-screen.
And it makes Damon killing her much harder to stomach.
It’s comical how often the Council uses an animal attack as a cover-upfor vampire attacks.
And it’s even more absurd that the inhabitants of Mystic Falls believe them.
Instead, the series magically sweeps them away.
