I don't know - I think Samantha Mathis has the career she deserves - which is to say, not much of one. She's never been a particularly strong or nuanced actress in my opinion. I think "Super Mario Bros." is pretty much her wheelhouse. I mean, even though "Thing Called Love" is a pretty lightweight film, she seems…

I'm aware that it is a long shot at this point, but man, John Noble not getting any Emmy love EVER for this show just blows my mind. I think his portrayal of Walter Bishop (in all his many forms) is nothing short of brilliant. As much as I love this cast, and as much as Joshua Jackson is the reason I started watching…

I've been thinking about this and wonder if they are referring to the "Walter of Now" as the version that has evolved since he's been out of the institution and reassembling a functioning personality. I feel like the show largely treats his years of institutionalization as if Walter were in a holding pattern - he…

This is a really good point. Surely there is more to it than "Silas knows where my family is".

Does intensely hoping Matt's new show fails just so there might be a tiny possibility that Alaric might be resurrected make me a bad person? It probably does, doesn't it.

Word. Matt is a keeper, for sure.

I completely agree with this. I think most of us agree that Caroline, by and large, has been shown as the moral compass for the group (even though she's far from perfect). She *knows* Klaus is bad and wrong for her on every possible level - but how does that saying go? The heart wants what the heart wants. And the…

I think it was the fact that Caroline clearly implied they were sleeping together that made him so batshit crazy. As much as Stefan has been annoying me this season from his - as you say - unearned moral high ground and weird paternalistic desire to "fix" Elena, that scene kind of broke my heart for him a little.

I resemble these remarks so very much. But when the show is as good as it was last night? I don't even care that I'm "too old" by whatever standard to enjoy a soapy teen drama about vampires on the CW. I will take this show any day of the week over adult soapy dreck like "Grey's Anatomy". And twice on Sundays. With…
