Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe crow that is seen in the pilot is in reference to Damon, who in the books had the power to transform into a crow. The producers said they didn't run with that because they didn't want to give him too many powers too quickly and leave no room for growth.
- GoofsDuring the history class when they are talking about he Battle of Willow Creek the blackboard says the battle was in 1865, but throughout the rest of the show it is always said that it happened in 1864.
- Quotes
Damon Salvatore: Your hair's different, I like it.
Stefan Salvatore: It's been 15 years, Damon.
Damon Salvatore: Thank God! Couldn't take another day of the 90's. That horrible grunge look did not suit you. Remember Stefan, it's important to stay away from fads.
Stefan Salvatore: What are you doing here?
Damon Salvatore: I missed my little brother.
Stefan Salvatore: You hate small towns, they're boring, there's nothing for you to do.
Damon Salvatore: I've been keeping myself busy.
Stefan Salvatore: You left that girl alive tonight. That was very careless of you.
Damon Salvatore: Yeah, that could be a problem... for you.

What Elena does not know is that Stefan is an ancient adolescent vampire that does not drink human blood anymore to avoid killing. However, when his evil brother Damon Salvatore arrives in Mystic Falls, his safety and his romance with Elena are compromised by Damon.
After "Buffy", there are many romantic films about love between a human adolescent and a "good" vampire, like the franchise "Twilight" and "True Blood". The pilot of "Vampire Diaries" follows the same wasted formula, with beautiful actresses and handsome actors and it seems to be predictable. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Piloto" ("Pilot")
