I miss Rebekah and Elijah. Rebekah with her inabilitiy to go an episode without getting a dagger in her heart, and Elijah with his increasingly weird hair cuts.

It's scary how much that sounds like a Lifetime Original movie.

To be fair, her kid brother is Jeremy.

The whole alpha plotline is probably going to need some hashing out, but I don't think it was a step back for the character since Tyler is notably reluctant to actually be the alpha, and is only doing it so they can put an end to Klaus and not have to obey him any more. His whole "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD TYLER" moment came…

I think a large part of what's driving Stefan's almost irrational, chauvinistic behavior is guilt. He feels guilty that Elena's a vampire because he should have been able to save her, but he obeyed her wishes and saved Matt instead. Now he's desperate to fix the problem because he feels he created it. Before that,…

Definitely a better episode than last week's awful installment. I know Maddie's gotten a lot of flak, but I enjoyed her banter with Barry and Michael taking her along on the run will hopefully mean they're past the high drama of the Nate situation. I wasn't too into Patton Oswalt last episode, but this episode I could…

We don't know what kind of security the second place had, but Thorne brought four dudes with automatic weapons, so it was probably heavier (and the cops also came in, like, four seconds after the alarm went off). The first place (with the two guards) was just a test facility to make sure it worked.

So even though I didn't actually comment last week, I still want to join in the chorus of "I told you so" with people who figured Elena's feelings for Damon were real and not simply a result of the sire bond. I'm also glad the previews were a misdirection and Damon wasn't being a total creepy-rapist douchebag and knew…

How does the CW find all these Aussie actresses that can't pull off an American accent? First Phoebe Tonkin, now Jessica De Gouw? Usually I can't pick out the Aussie in shows but those two are terrible at the American accent. Still liked the Helena arc, though. Especially cause Diggle got some screen time and a true…

Argh! This show! I loved the Dean/Benny (what? I ship it.) storyline, especially the ending which was suitably tense. But I absolutely abhor whatever it is they're doing with Sam. Don't get me wrong, if they'd built the "You're a terrible brother I can't trust" storyline into an issue that was actually important, or…
