WHOA WHOA WHOA. HOLD UP.
I adored last night's episode of The Vampire Diaries.
Katherine: Call me sick, but I was sad to see her go, and I'm glad that they didn't kill her. It may have been stupid on the Salvatores' part, but I'm glad that she was locked away in the crypt. Because that means that bitch is definitely escaping some time or another. Her freakout towards the end really intrigued, me though. I wonder what she means by Damon being the doppleganger. The puts an entirely different connotation to it. And for the first time, she seemed genuinely afraid. There was also plenty of poetic justice to it being Damon who locked her away. The dialogue in this part, I thought, was great, as there were many double meanings going on. Damon's referring to how Katherine should have been in the tomb the whole time, what could have been; Katherine's "YOU NEED ME" was almost appealing to his love for her as well as the practical need. Of course, then there was the, "Then I'll protect her". OH. DAMON.
Caroline: stepped it up in the bitchiness. Very proud of her. And so glad Matt didn't die. If Matt had died... THE EMOTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO GREAT TO FATHOM. Not sure how I feel about the whole Caroline/Tyler deal, but I'm not SO devoted to Caroline/Matt that I'd be upset over them getting together with other people before they end up together. I can see potential for Tyler and Caroline, but... dude, they've barely spoken to one another.
Bonnie/Jeremy: Speaking of, no. I've actually started to like Jeremy a lot more than I used to. And Bonnie helping Team Badass did not lessen my hatred. I didn't like her before she became a bitch, and I certainly don't like her now. Plus, to be honest, there was a bit of squick to the whole, "I'm not a kid anymore, Bonnie" and "You've grown up, Jeremy?" dialogue. I mean, you try thinking of your best friend dating your little brother. That's right. No.
Tyler!Wolf: Although I've been iffy on the werewolf storyline, I actually like how they've handled it. To be honest, I was less of a fan of Smeyer's werewolves because they deviated from the original mythos so much. I like traditional werewolves. I like the full moon symbolism, the fear of silver, the general ferocity. And I really liked the whole having to kill someone bit, as I think I read that in some lore way back when. Plus, although I was never a Mason fangirl and kind of squeed when Damon ripped his heart out... I've started to like Tyler. He's developing, getting some character growth. And I feel very, very sorry for him. His abusive dad is dead, his mom's an implied alcoholic, and his uncle dude is wasted. Now he's a werewolf. Something about the fear he showed when that girl died was very childlike. I don't know. It makes me more interested in this storyline. PLUS, NO WAY DID I SEE THAT ONE GIRL'S BIT COMING.
Lucy: I... did not care for her. I don't know. Why are all of the witches Sassy Black Women? I don't mean anything racist by it--in fact, I'm white and I was beginning to feel somewhat offended by the trend of black characters who are either a) witches b) about to get dead or c) both. Come on. Especially since there was only one black woman involved in the Salem Witch Trials Bonnie keeps talking about. And she was Tituba. Who died without children. So yeah. Unless everyone happens to hail from New Orleans and start exhibiting some voodoo-type spells, color me suspicious. Plus, the whole SISTER FRIEND WE'RE WITCHES TOGETHER thing irked me.
Stefan/Elena: Oh, thank God they're still broken up. I don't know. Stefan's so much cooler when Elena's not around, and vice versa. Still wishing that he wigged out on blood again. Still shipping Stefan/Katherine like nobody's business. My question: DID SHE EVER LOVE HIM? WAS THIS EVER CLARIFIED? I... don't know. That flashback in Memory Lane still serves, but, um. Yeah. What.
Number of times I went "OMG" OR "AWESOME": At least five.
