I think I like Bonnie in 'Best Friend, Being Frank' mode. Reading Elena about that kiss was nice, and constantly reminding her mother she's useless because she's powerless also says something about her fear of becoming useless—which, let's face it, Bonnie is without the magic boon. I'm not warming up to the

The locker room exchange between Art and Raylan had me chuckling, and that disinterested, "Oh, the boys are fighting again" look Art did right before Raylan and Boyd crashed into his office was priceless.

Yes, the taxi was parked outside that craphole extended stay place. Although I think that bit was more for the audience to prepare for a little game of quick draw.

That moment was awkward and came out of nowhere, but the episode had to do with free will and being stuck, and Bonnie's Morality zoned in on the free will issue. Elena does have control issues, and while she does what she does because she loves Jeremy/Stefan/whoever, it becomes cumbersome when she takes it upon

I agree about the Stefan and Elena Crossroads scene. It was just…superb. Seriously underrated actors on a criminally underrated show. We weren't even given an ounce of old Stefan. He reached full blown badass when he zoomed off in his little red car, nary a backward glance at Elena. I loved it…

It brought him back to life, but Damon's blood healed him. Alaric owes him a drink, harty-har-har.

Surprised they opened the show with the least developed supporting character. Does this mean the tail end of Season 3 will see Bonnie with an actual story?

Yeah, I think it was the dagger and not the stake, as that burst into flames with Michael. Klaus kept her "dead" because she knows he killed Moms.

Her reply to Jeremy almost dying was fantastic. She tried so hard to pretend to care, but the eye roll was too strong to hide.

You know, all the comparisons between Movie Sherlock Holmes and Television Sherlock Holmes make about as much sense as Twilight fans comparing Edward to Edward of Sense and Sensibility.

If OUAT had the pace of TVD, it would be great. Right now, it's tepid. They need to give Regina a story outside of being a colossal bitch. Everyone save for Emma, Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold, and possibly Mary Margaret (no woman would sit there and endure Regina's diatribe) exists as some sort of rough character sketch.

Relative to the Bamber? Takeover accepted.

Henry…the kid wouldn't be so bad if he just wasn't so damn obvious. If they just wrote one episode, one scene where Henry isn't peeling open your brain to dump his fervent beliefs, then he wouldn't be so irksome. As it is, he's the parrot reminding us that the sky is indeed blue. This kind of handholding ruins a large

Whenever Emily does the squinty eye thing, there will be a spectacular takedown in the near future. I'm a little sad the REVENGE will roll to Tyler next. He's the right kind of nasty that rounds out the Hamptons camp fest.

We'll stop being angry when there's concrete proof the young women this novel is geared towards can indeed separate fact from fiction, and can recognize that emotional and mental manipulation is not sexy, nor is it romantic. I'll stop being angry when the comparisons between Twilight and Wuthering Heights end and

I don't think it'll come to letting him rot in jail. Perhaps she'll have the same opportunity Victoria had to save Dave, and she'll make the right decision. But the tragedy could come in the form of Jack rejecting her as both Emily Thorne and Amanda Clark.

I'm waiting for Sophia to drop out of a tree with a zombie head in one hand and a serrated machete in the other.

That's how you survive on Walking Dead—being incredibly fucking stupid. Unless you're Daryl and can eat a squirrel wearing a zombie ear necklace.

The final five minutes of the show was unnecessary. If we just had the scene with Katherine and Stefan in the car, fine. But then that flashback…and the humanity thing…

Henry is killing it for me. All I hear is whining in nasal falsetto. Maybe someone will take notice, cut out 2/3rds the obnoxious kid dialogue, and he'll actually become the precocious child the writers oh so want him to be. Regina is stock antagonist so I'm not holding my breath for a fleshed out antagonist a la
