In this episode we just jump right in! Nick, and Fay joined for this Review of the Pilot Episode of The Vampire Dairies. Massive spoilers. We go over what was good about the show as a whole because as the show progressed it was awesome, but we all agreed the Pilot was lacking. Its also just really funny to hear Nick's thoughts on this show.
