We are finally in Covington to film! The sets are SO different but it is so nice to see the Mystic Falls we know and love again!

For a pilot episode, this is pretty good. The episode does a good job of setting up characters and the beginning of their arcs. After watching this series a couple of times through already, I always love seeing them so young again! And also seeing all of the callbacks that the series eventually uses like the June wedding and Bonnie's psychic powers.
