I see some people are disgruntled...

...none more so than our Brazilian friend, who is ranting about Elena being, in his opinion, a drawback to the show. I can't quite figure out what irks these people, Elena or Nina Dobrev. If the former, in this guy's case, some people might just want all-out vampire blood and gore. And Elena represents humanity. Yeah, big drawback if you just wanna have bloodshed on screen. I don't know, that might be it. If the latter, ah, the solution is simple. Haters are filled with envy. Nina Dobrev more or less has it all. She is beautiful and charming and acts two parts in A MAJOR BIG HIT SHOW end of story. She is in between two Hollywood heartthrobs*, yeah, that says a whole lot too.

Whatever anybody else says, this is just another winner, and Elena is great and NIna Dobrev is gold (and so is Candice Accola, hot damn wow, why do you think I'm here, for the vampires?**)

*just please note, in the case of Paul, that's hearsay as far as I'm concerned. :)

**Don't misunderstand. I've been drawn in from Day One. It is one of my most-liked shows. It's also amazingly clever. But the relationship drama bits are super-essential.
