First five - ten episodes of S1 are slow, and make Secret History look really in good in comparison. But after about six or seventh episode in S1, can't remember exactly, the thing takes off in major way. And introduces a lot of cool characters and twists. Same deal in the second season, starts out slow then suddenly takes off. Once you get past the whole Elena/Stefan teen angst, it's actually really entertaining.
I'll never write fanfic or meta on it, but doesn't matter. It's a satisfying ride. The writer actually follows through on his plot-point teases, shocking I know, considering how many writers don't.
