Episode 1,season 1 of CW’s “Vampire Diaries” aired last night. It was the pilot episode,and it started off pretty intense,with a scary vampire attack scene on a couple driving down the street.

After that, the show focused on Elena and her friends meeting Stefan for the first time after he enrolls in Elena’s school,thinking that he must meet her. Elena and Stefan get along quite well,but another girl named Caroline Forbes really likes him too.

Meanwhile, there’s killings going on in the town of Mystic Falls, which to the outside world,look like animal attacks. Stefan is blamed by his friend,Jeremy Gilbert for the attacks,as he knows he’s really a vampire.

Stefan and Elena continue to get along very well,but he does encounter situations that set off his vampire temptation with her,and things get a little awkward,but he’s able to cover it up. Eventually Stefan has to shoot down Caroline’s advances towards him,as he really likes Elena.

After another vampire attack occurs,Stefan comes to realize that his brother Damon is in town,and is committing the murders. After an intense argument and fight between the two, Damon pretty much says that he’s going to give Stefan a hard time particularly with Elena.

To cap off the show, a very let down Caroline gets a glowing smile from Damon at her party,and it appears as though she might be his next hunt. Meanwhile, Elena invites Stefan into her house for the first time.

I thought it was a good introduction,and the Damon character is really funny. He’ll make the show interesting.
