Elena - It made me laugh that she and Stefan being late for/going to school was [finally] addressed. [And I thought the Glee kids were in rare form this week.] Also, Stefan and Elena messing around in the bedroom...Where was Jenna? Moping about Alaric? At work? Half-assed parenting/guardianship at it's best. Considering the age bracket of some of the viewers, I think they ought to be careful with this. [And yes, I know about Skins. ]
Stefan - I was having a conversation with a tweep or two about this...I think it's funny Stefan couldn't tell when Katherine was pretending to be Elena. In the first part of the season he could, but Damon couldn't. I really don't know what to make of that...With Klaus coming, they can't afford to be anything but sharp.
Damon - He got hurt by Katherine again last night, but he didn't respond quite the way I expected, which is a good thing. I'm wondering about his reaction to what Katherine told him about Emily...I remember Damon saying something about it taking Emily a while to learn a certain spell...Did Katherine get their rings made before she set Emily up? Or was she cold-blooded enough to have another witch waiting in the wings, I have so many questions about this witch burning.
Katherine - She was super slick last night, but at least she stopped Luka from removing the dagger from Elijah. [I actually had mixed feelings about that.]
Caroline - I didn't even know Candice Accola sang. It breaks my heart what happened when Caroline came clean with Matt. I wish he'd have given her time to explain that she wasn't a vamp at the time of Vicki's attack. Matt's and Caroline's kiss I would have enjoyed it more, if it hadn't seemed like the writers were trying so hard for an "Aww!" moment.
Matt - I expected him to wig, but I didn't think he would make the connection back to Vicki. If he comes around, it's definitely going to take time.
Alaric - In his case telling half the truth was just as bad as keeping Jenna completely in the dark. More soap opera stuff, but it facilitates the action, so I get it. :)
Bonnie - She got a lucky break last night getting her powers back. Wish The Grill hadn't gotten annihilated, I would've enjoyed seeing Bonnie get a turn singing too.
Luka - His death was painful [looking] and it was gruesome...I understand the why of it and TVD is just a TV show, but that still didn't make the death scene any easier to watch. I didn't think you could harm the astral body the way you could a physical body, but writers tweak mythology how they see fit [BtVS, Charmed, AtS, Supernatural].
Jonas - His death made me sad too, but again, I kind of understood it. I don't think he would've let Katherine get the jump on him like that, if he hadn't been so angry and grief-stricken though...So much loss/waste. But, it it's one thing Williamson does well, it's angst.
John - not shown.
Have I mentioned how much I miss Tyler ?
IHeartTVD on Twitter has a show on Blog Talk Radio...I may add what I've said here on that platform...I'm not sure. I believe they come on at 11:00pmEST on Saturday nights. The show is 2hrs long. The second hour they take calls. It's a good fun time.

My thoughts on The Dinner Party (Contains Spoilers!)
Bonnie - Had she handled the whole Luka interrogation scenario differently, somehow I don't think her powers would have been stripped. :(
Luka - What'd he do go running home to Daddy? Or did Daddy just know? Either way, it still doesn't make him look all that great. Also, do male witches and female witches have different strengths and weaknesses? I feel like he should have been better able to defend himself or at least smell or taste that he'd been slipped something. After all, he tricked Bonnie into thinking he'd destroyed the moonstone. Bizarre...I also feel like what Elijah was saying about people from Massachusetts having settled where Mystic Falls was first ties into this witch thing somehow.
Jonas - Can witches that aren't related just waltz up and bind up the power of another witch just like that? He's either got a scary amount of power or They're related somehow too [I hope that's not the case, because I feel like my disbelief has been suspended all it can be as far as this is concerned. One positive thing I can say about this part of the storyline, it's certainly unique.]
Elijah - That was just crazy last night. I'd elaborate more, but I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said elsewhere. I don't think he's "permanently dead" though, so hijinks will ensue. Until I see ashes or a decapitation, I remain hopeful.
Elena - She surprised me again last night [in a good way]. We also saw her drink some of Stefan's blood last night, so I'm thinking that the groundwork has been laid for her to become a vampire. Still not sure if it'll be next season. Elena has an immense capacity for forgiveness.
Stefan - It was odd seeing him as the bad one...[Not that I didn't enjoy it. I don't believe for one moment that he was worse than Damon though. I just don't. lol] This also reminded me of Stefan's journals, particularly Vol. 2. [Again even though this series of books is newer, the show doesn't seem to be sticking with the books.]
Jeremy - I'm not sure how I feel about Jeremy being so smitten with Bonnie he practically can't see. He even tried to intervene when Jonas showed up ticked off, which wasn't smart. He was just as impulsive with Anna, but still I'd hate to see him wind up hurt [again].
Jenna - I know why she's upset with Alaric, something tells me if she knew the whole story she'd be even angrier, because her life was put in jeopardy because of what she didn't know. Still I love Alaric and Jenna together.
Alaric - I've got a really bad feeling about him giving up that ring and I just can't shake it. I also like how he told Damon off too. Happy he's finally getting some action again, but I just worry that it'll be at a cost.
John - This dude has to aspire to be pond scum, he is just that low. I'm really curious to see what he's getting out of the deal he made with whoever. And I bet if he thought he could make better profit switching sides, he would. He is one of the villains that truly make this show worth watching. Excellent job David Anders!
Andie - I just kept hearing Kanye West's Runaway the whole time she was in a scene with Damon, only with The Televixen's lyrics [Let's throw toast at the douchebags...Thank you for that! Can I say again how much I love Twitter?]. Does this Andie go to work anymore? Hello deadlines? Breaking News? Good grief! smh This part of the plot is just so hard to watch, not that it was any easier with Caroline... I never thought I'd hear/see myself say this, but I actually miss Rose [Don't miss the water 'til...].
Damon - He's either going to get it or he won't. Also will we ever see an ep where they bridge the gap between how he got from being who he was when he was human to the Damon he is now? [Does the period hair get worse with each flashback or what?]
Katherine - I don't know if Andie was home when she appeared. I hope not, because I get the feeling Katherine would have only too much fun compelling her or worse. Can't believe it was so easy for her to manipulate Damon, then again considering who we're dealing with here...Yeah, I can.
Tyler - I miss him. :(

Crying Wolf --Contains spoilers
"Kathy" or Katherine - Not in this ep.
Bonnie -- It kind of unnerved me how easily she was able to do what she did to Luka, but I guess when push comes to shove...I actually felt badly for him last night...He's a character kind of like Rose was to me, I don't love him, but I don't hate him either. I don't know how I feel about Bonnie and Jeremy hooking up...I was also happy to see Caroline and Bonnie bonding at the beginning of the season, I never would've seen this coming.
John - I didn't think he'd changed...stirring Jenna up with the talk of bad parenting and all.
Jenna - she seemed ticked at Alaric...I hope she gives him a chance to have his say and that he doesn't screw his chance up.
Alaric -- I was worried about him last night, because I temporarily forgot about the ring. John's asking for it back...Is it just because he's a jerk, or does he know something the others don't? I'm guessing it's a little from column A and B. The "scary dude with nice hair" line cracked me up. That and the look on Damon's face when Alaric says it. Priceless.
Matt --I love that we're seeing more of him lately. Can't say it enough.
Tyler--Kudos to him, for allowing Matt to think he was an ordinary human, instead of going off.
Still bummed about him leaving with Jules...Something tells me she might seduce him or brainwash him some kind of way, if he's just like going to grab on to anything. I know he doesn't want to be a wolf ...maybe that will be the thing that saves him, but it might also prompt him to do something else desparate and stupid [I'm also remembering Williamson or Plec alluding to something tragic happening regarding Tyler and Caroline...I just don't have a good feeling about how his story is going to turn out. I love Michael Trevino's work here too.] I'm going to miss him. I'm so bummed. At least they've left the possibility open to him coming back...
Stevie -- Was he referring to the Saw films or something else? [I can't watch those...I. Just. Can't.] He freaked me out too...Where do they find these guys? And being a vampire amplifies your natural personality traits? Sheesh!
Elena -- I love how she handled Brady attacking her. I thought I was going to end up annoyed, instead I was pleasantly surprised. Until they got a tad bit creepy [You look hot in my great-great grandad's what?????!!!!!] I was enjoying Stefan and Elena finally having time to themselves. The death and martyr thing...I'm so over it. I don't know when or if they will make Elena a vampire at the end of this season, but I'm thinking her "death" doesn't have to be permanent...I may have said this before in one of my earlier posts, and if so, I apologize...She may die and be resuscitated.
Stefan -- I love the way he confronted Elena on the martyr thing. Didn't realize he was the one who ended Brady (Thank You!). I'm so doing a rewatch of this ep. Erin at My Entertainment OCD had me laughing at The Hardy Boys reference in her recap on her blog. I loved that show. I've got to wonder it's not partially responsible for my Supernatural thing, but let me get back on track here...
Elijah --He owned it last night! And Klaus is badder than this guy? Mystic Falls is in some serious trouble.
Andie -- This whole plotline is just creeping me out. Some analogies were thrown about on Twitter and I found them all disturbing. A flesh colored bandage...and a scarf thrown over it. And then Andie's response to Damon at the Tea...Jenna looked like it was all she could do not to heave...and she's probably thinking why on earth did I set them up...Once she finds out the truth about Damon and Stefan, not to mention what Alaric knows...she's going to freak.
Damon--I had a feeling payback was coming from Elijah, but I don't think this will be the extent of it. As far as the wolves, ...this is what I wanted to happen last week, instead of poor Caroline being put in a cage.
Bonnie -- It kind of unnerved me how easily she was able to do what she did to Luka, but I guess when push comes to shove...I actually felt badly for him last night...He's a character kind of like Rose was to me, I don't love him, but I don't hate him either. I don't know how I feel about Bonnie and Jeremy hooking up...I was also happy to see Caroline and Bonnie bonding at the beginning of the season, I never would've seen this coming.

By The Light of the Moon -Vampire Diaries Ep. 2.
Luka and Jonas Martin -- So they are in cahoots. Luka seems like an unwilling accomplice, but we don't know to what extent. Bonnie will be hurt and angry. But, Luka did point out [although he said he was j/k] hiding things isn't a great way to start any type of solid relationship off. Whether he and Bonnie become friends or something more remains to be seen.
Bonnie--It bothers me that she didn't somehow sense that switcheroo Luka pulled. :( But she sensed Lucy when she was working with Katherine. I can't figure out if this is because Bonnie is doing most of her learning by instinct and her grimoire or uneven writing or both.
Elijah-- Was actually trending last night on Twitter, which astounded me. [Thought sure it would've been Tyler trending, but more on him later.] I wonder what's going to happen once Klaus finally shows, because if Elijah can't make good on his bargain with Elena all bets are off. ILiveforTVD on Twitter asked last night if I thought that Elijah was playing Luka's dad or Elena, my response is that knowing how sneaky some of the baddies are on this show, he could be playing both of them. I'm definitely curious to see what happens. I just wish they [Williamson & Co] were more consistent about building and sustaining suspense.
Jenna--I can't figure out whether she gets into the trouble she does, because she gets left out of the loop because people are trying to "protect" her or she's just that naive about what goes on in town. No vervain [Or does it just not work on Elijah and The Originals. If Katherine can build up an immunity to it, I know he can.]. No nothing. Alaric dropped the ball. I give credit to Sara Canning, because every actress doesn't have the capability to make you care about a character despite the potential for the character to become cannon fodder.
Carol Lockwood -- If Sheriff Forbes knows the hidden history of the town, I find it extremely difficult to believe that Ms. Lockwood also knows something she's not telling.
Elena - She's stubborn and she's sneaky. I'm beginning to think she and Katherine share more than just looks. :) It reinforces the whole doppleganger thing very nicely too.
Katherine--Nina Dobrev does an excellent job inserting vulnerability into a character that at times appears to have none. I'm just more and more amazed every week.
Stefan--He's steadfast and it was a dream. I'd like to say I knew it all along, but I didn't, because with this show, you never know.
Alaric-- The drunk guy and "rescuer" bit. I think I'd have bought that way more the other way 'round. [Just sayin'. ] Hopefully, after the events with Elijah, Alaric will learn to keep Jenna in the loop. If he doesn't, I don't even want to imagine the consequences.
Jules -- She's hardcore and she marked Damon [That can't mean anything good]. She saw right through him too, not that it was all that difficult...[more on him later].
Caroline aka Vampire Barbie [That was cute!]--She was steadfast [too] last night. She stayed up until the very last second and I loved her for it. I love her and Tyler together. I'm afraid of what's going to happen when he finds out that she knew about what happened to Mason, etc. though.
Tyler--I was watching a TV Guide interview with Michael Trevino shortly before BTLOTM aired. He mentioned that Julie Plec showed him videos of women giving birth and wolves hunting/taking down their prey to help him prep. Kudos to both her and him, because that ish worked. The special effects people definitely deserve as shoutout too, because I don't believe I've seen anything that painful looking and believable in recent memory since AWIL. As far as not seeing the wolf completely...I thought we caught a glimpse [wishful thinking on my part?]...I think they might be saving that...ie. the best is yet to come. Candice Accola and Michael Trevino definitely brought it. :)
Rose--How did we go from her pinning Damon to the car to her not being able to stay out of his bed? What made her jump in the way when Jules came calling? Maybe if we were shown more of her backstory I'd get it...This just seemed rushed to me and illustrates my misgivings about pairing a [seemingly] strong woman with a player/bad boy/damaged goods type [Either she gets watered down or he does, or both]...As much as everyone in the audience will never be completely satisfied, it's especially true here. I don't mind if Rose is a little vulnerable, but it felt like this happened way too fast. [Yes, I know we only have a certain amount of eps. in a season.] Maybe I was expecting a bit too much? I'd hate to think that all things considered.
Damon-- Calling Caroline Vampire Barbie...He got downright Sawyeresque with that one. : D
Damon's planning needs work sometimes and I think it's definitely due to his arrogance and impulsiveness. It's definitely a good thing for him that Alaric's got his back and now Stefan's been released from the cave. I don't think he's going to come out of all this unscathed though. I'm just not sure what form payback for the murder of Mason is going to come in. As I stated above, I'm also not sure Elijah is done with him yet either.
Bonnie--It bothers me that she didn't somehow sense that switcheroo Luka pulled. :( But she sensed Lucy when she was working with Katherine. I can't figure out if this is because Bonnie is doing most of her learning by instinct and her grimoire or uneven writing or both.
Elijah-- Was actually trending last night on Twitter, which astounded me.

Vampire Diaries recap-The Sacrifice
Dr. Jonas Martin-- Lurking in Elena's room. Taking her hair...[I know it was for a spell, but it was overshadowed to me by the "Let's give viewers yet another reason to hate and fear Dr. Martin" vibe I was getting. The fact that the actor is a dark-skinned African-American doesn't help here.]
Luka--I don't want to hate him. [Especially since it's too soon to tell how much he knows about his Dad working with Elijah.] He gets in the way of one of my favorite ships, but still...I felt badly when he had the seizures last night and he's right about Bonnie. She does need her own variation on The Charmed Ones Power of Three. Or she needs to pull from nature and return it somehow, like Willow learned to on Season 7 of BtVS.
Bonnie--I love how they're making her character more 3 dimensional this year. :) Also I enjoyed hearing Kat Graham's cover of "Happy When It Rains". I loved how she stood up for Luka and kept Jeremy from digging himself into an even deeper hole...Still I wish she'd give him a chance. I think she feels a sense of loyalty to Luka since they bonded. Someone, I can't remember who, said not to count Team Ice Cream out...I also feel like she's afraid if stuff doesn't work out between them, stuff would be forever awkward. That's a pretty understandable fear. At least she knows that Jeremy cares about her too. She really does need for Cousin Lucy (or Cuzo as I call her in my head) to come back. Either that, or she needs for Luka to give her Lesson 2, how to call power from the elements...there's another name for it, I'm sure, but at the moment it escapes me. [Ever notice how Wicca and Vodoun both get exoticized/demonized and they're actually religions? Yet another reason why I'm conflicted about watching this show, but that's also another blog post.]
Jeremy-- I liked that he stopped when Bonnie told him to as far as pressing his luck by bashing Luka. That went so wrong...I felt sorry for him. At the beginning it seemed like he was handling his biz. I started to worry when he was slow to find the moonstone. [All I kept thinking at the TV screen was "Run Dammit!"]
Tyler--I feel badly for him and what he's about to go through. I love that the left the transformation, somewhat to your imagination too.
Caroline--Smooth how she explained away, knowing about the Lockwood dungeon. Hopefully, in time Tyler will come to see that her friendship isn't a sham. Werewolves and the anger thing, just don't give me a good feeling as far as the truth coming out and eventually it will. The Tyler/Caroline/Matt triangle. More soap opera stuff, but I don't find it to be as annoying at times, as the main triangle can be.
Matt--Wish we got to see more of him. He's one of the only normal characters left. I do believe they brought this up on The Televixen's podcast too. Hopefully, the writers will take note.
Rose--She wanted more from Damon and I wasn't quite sure how to read that...What happened to being torn up over Trevor and no emotions? Has Damon got The Magic [Stick] or what? I don't know what's scarier that or the Crazy Eyes. As we could see from her speedy exit when Elijah showed up, Rose believes in self-preservation almost as much as Katherine. :)
Elena--Her plan was noble, but how does she think that would have made everyone feel? From the Salvatores to Aunt Jenna [Half-assed guardian that she is, she still cares]...But then with the body count rising with only Elijah...and Klaus [Who's supposed to be even badder than Elijah...That better be some awesome ish! Is all I have to say. They've built him up too much now to disappoint us.] on the horizon. It's not out of the question to come to the conclusion that drastic times call for drastic measures. Something in Elena's behavior last night that reminded me a bit of Katherine...Elena was sneaky and kind of arrogrant with those bribes, wasn't she? What would Bonnie have said about her promise to Rose?
Katherine--It tickled me that she changed her mind about being locked in the tomb. [She's bored. XD lol Too fantastic. Nina Dobrev is a blast in this role.]
Katherine looked like the cat that had gotten the cream when Stefan made his error.
Elijah-- Ok, if you pull out all the stops with this guy, what will there be left for Klaus to wow us with? [That double heart rip thing, brings to mind Angel's double staking in the pilot ep.] Klaus is supposed to outDamon Damon, but I feel like Elijah is already doing that to an extent [Too much of the same thing gets old fast]. :( . Also, it's all too obvious that Elijah isn't through with Damon and Elena yet...I get the feeling that for Damon payback's definitely going to be a bitch.
Stefan--I felt so sorry for him this ep...He acted to save somebody else in a split second without thinking of the repercussions and it definitely cost him [Hence the title]. :( As for the previews to next week, I've read enough of the books to know there is Delena, but the way Williamson & Co. is going about getting us there feels rushed and sloppy [at least as far as this ep goes]. Next week's developments with Stefan... I feel like his behavior is OOC, I guess it feels that way to me, because we haven't seen enough flashbacks of what Stefan was like before Elena.
Damon--There were several times last night when I thought Damon was just going to pounce on Elena last night. The anger was just so mixed with sexual tension, it was hard to really interpret. [ Ian Somerhalder's mannerisms don't make it any easier sometimes...] The "Throwing you over my shoulder" line didn't bother me, but the "I'll break your arm" line did. I'm not saying turn him into a softie, but the line just disturbed me. You claim to love this girl, put her in a sleeper hold or something, but don't break limbs. }:( [Maybe I've got too many issues with domestic violence, but that line just bothered me big time. I don't care how pleasing to the eye someone is. That kind of talk just isn't sexy to me at all. ] This time I felt like Damon was right to warn Jeremy away. Look what it cost them.
The Twilight nods--Slater's password is what? Really???!!! C'mon now. :( And then the whole thing with Alice [They don't call 'em fangbangers on this show, but that's what she seemed like to me.].
A spinoff for TVD...Um until the writing becomes more even again [Hopefully this ep was a fluke as far as that's concerned, because I'd been pleased for the most part with how the season was going so far]....I don't think that's such a great idea. Not really loving the premise either. If you're going to use an old idea, at least put a new spin on it or shoot it from a new perspective...Don't add to the same ol' same ol' that's out there. We've got enough of that.
Luka--I don't want to hate him. [Especially since it's too soon to tell how much he knows about his Dad working with Elijah.] He gets in the way of one of my favorite ships, but still...I felt badly when he had the seizures last night and he's right about Bonnie. She does need her own variation on The Charmed Ones Power of Three. Or she needs to pull from nature and return it somehow, like Willow learned to on Season 7 of BtVS.
Bonnie--I love how they're making her character more 3 dimensional this year. :) Also I enjoyed hearing Kat Graham's cover of "Happy When It Rains". I loved how she stood up for Luka and kept Jeremy from digging himself into an even deeper hole...Still I wish she'd give him a chance. I think she feels a sense of loyalty to Luka since they bonded. Someone, I can't remember who, said not to count Team Ice Cream out...I also feel like she's afraid if stuff doesn't work out between them, stuff would be forever awkward. That's a pretty understandable fear. At least she knows that Jeremy cares about her too. She really does need for Cousin Lucy (or Cuzo as I call her in my head) to come back. Either that, or she needs for Luka to give her Lesson 2, how to call power from the elements...there's another name for it, I'm sure, but at the moment it escapes me. [Ever notice how Wicca and Vodoun both get exoticized/demonized and they're actually religions? Yet another reason why I'm conflicted about watching this show, but that's also another blog post.]
Jeremy-- I liked that he stopped when Bonnie told him to as far as pressing his luck by bashing Luka. That went so wrong...I felt sorry for him. At the beginning it seemed like he was handling his biz. I started to worry when he was slow to find the moonstone. [All I kept thinking at the TV screen was "Run Dammit!"]
Tyler--I feel badly for him and what he's about to go through. I love that the left the transformation, somewhat to your imagination too.
Caroline--Smooth how she explained away, knowing about the Lockwood dungeon. Hopefully, in time Tyler will come to see that her friendship isn't a sham. Werewolves and the anger thing, just don't give me a good feeling as far as the truth coming out and eventually it will. The Tyler/Caroline/Matt triangle. More soap opera stuff, but I don't find it to be as annoying at times, as the main triangle can be.
Matt--Wish we got to see more of him. He's one of the only normal characters left. I do believe they brought this up on The Televixen's podcast too. Hopefully, the writers will take note.
Rose--She wanted more from Damon and I wasn't quite sure how to read that...What happened to being torn up over Trevor and no emotions? Has Damon got The Magic [Stick] or what? I don't know what's scarier that or the Crazy Eyes. As we could see from her speedy exit when Elijah showed up, Rose believes in self-preservation almost as much as Katherine. :)
Elena--Her plan was noble, but how does she think that would have made everyone feel? From the Salvatores to Aunt Jenna [Half-assed guardian that she is, she still cares]...But then with the body count rising with only Elijah...and Klaus [Who's supposed to be even badder than Elijah...That better be some awesome ish!

Vampire Diaries episode "Katerina" (contains spoilers)
Bonnie-- She wasn't really hiding that she was attracted to Luka that well. I don't think she'd have responded too well had that been the other way around. But, that being said, it was nice to see her get some action, beyond helping to save Elena and The Salvatores.
Rose--Loved the scene where she turned the tables on Damon. I'll have to see more of her, but so far I like the blend of vulnerability and strength she has.
Trevor--I barely recognized him...I have a love/hate relationship with the costuming/wigs in some of the period scenes...
Don't remember seeing Tyler or Matt
No Jenna or Alaric either
Elena--I can't decide whether she was crazy or brave to do what she did regarding Katherine. Nina Dobrev was awesome last night and not too campy or over the top either. To show that Katherine does still have feelings, no matter how deeply she tries to bury them...I'm not sure a lot of actresses could have done a job of that caliber conveying that so subtly.
Stefan--I don't know how to feel about how steadfast he is in being there for Elena. She comes through for him...[The vervain in the well, etc.] Lately, it just doesn't seem like she truly appreciates him.
Elijah--How scary is it that Originals can compel other vampires? That just doesn't bode well at all. The thing with Elijah taking the change in his hand and tossing it around...I was trying to explain on Twitter last night that it reminded me of how Gambit from the X-Men can take playing cards and charge them when he throws them, but I couldn't explain the physics behind it, which frustrated me. :( [Kids stay in school! I didn't leave, but I wish I'd been better at math and physics, that's for sure.]
Slater--He was really amusing...I was sorry to see him go. [An eternal grad student...Think there's a joke there? Nah! }:)]
Luka--The warlock thing bothers me...[It probably comes from watching too much Charmed]. It'll be interesting to see whether Luka will eventually decide to assist Bonnie and the others or he's working for Elijah like his dad.
Luka's dad aka Dr. Jonas [?] Martin--Are there going to be any new Black characters on this show that aren't pawns, Evil, or just passing through? It'd be nice...
Damon -- Elijah will be out for payback and it won't be pretty. :( I know he heard that cockiness when Damon assured ? and Rose that Elijah was dead. The Rose/Damon hookup...some people believe that it was just rebound sex...I'm not sure...Then there is a strong Dalena ship out there...The writers and Kevin Williamson are very good at throwing us curveballs, so I would say almost anything is possible.
Jeremy--He took Bonnie bailing on him surprisingly well. He earns points from me for that alone.
The Originals --Someone asked if Pearl was one[in one of the conversations I had on Twitter]... We've seen European Originals, but I'd love to see An Asian Original. A Native American Original, An African Original...I think all cultures have vampire, shapeshifter, and witchcraft legends/myths. I'd like to see this reflected in the show more. Just having the Bennet witches and the ? Warlocks doesn't get it for me.
Klaus--I'm curious to see who they will cast in this role, because we've been speculating for weeks. :)
My predictions: Kevin Williamson said something about writing Damon angst. Don't know whether it's related directly to the finale or what, but I predict Elijah or Klaus is going to either make Damon do something he doesn't want to regarding Elena or he will be forced to watch while Stefan does something to Elena that neither/none of them wants. I don't believe she will die. If she does, I think it will be for a few seconds or minutes similar to what happened to Buffy in Season 1 of her show.
Rose--Loved the scene where she turned the tables on Damon. I'll have to see more of her, but so far I like the blend of vulnerability and strength she has.

Vampire Diaries --Masquerade (Contains spoilers!!!)
I had fun last night. I also made a bunch of new Twitter friends [always nice].
Didn't know about The Vampire Diaries Bingo game. Maybe I'll give playing a shot...
Bonnie--I felt like we got more insight into her last night. She's not all venom, like some tend to think. I loved that...also. Is Beremy a thing now? It looked like it was starting last night. It'll be interesting to see what Luka is all about. I'm definitely looking forward to more from Katerina Graham. I think she did an excellent job of showing Bonnie's conflict.
Lucy--Witches rule on this show! I love it! She says she coming back. I hope she does and that she decides to stay. That'd be interesting. I haven't been this excited about a character that's a witch in a while...[Charmed sometimes got a little too silly for me.] Natashia Williams is the name of the actress who played her.
Stefan--I wanted him to be all badass last night, like when he was interrogating Katherine, he wasn't. I'm thinking the breakup with Elena had a lot to do with it. That and the human blood thing...Somebody called this, but I couldn't remember his or her Twitter name to give them a shoutout. [ It may have been SafiTaffy99 or VDSource, or someone else altogther...It's getting hard to keep track. Now I know I'm getting old. :(]
Caroline--She tricked me and Katherine last night. Ms. ? is awesome! I was happy to see her intervene where Tyler and Matt were concerned. Candice Accola deserves her kudos.
Elena --She had me laughing last night, because curiosity just kills her. She will not stay put. She may still have gotten kidnapped, but maybe not as soon. She wants to feel safe???!!! You're dating who/what and you live where? That's got to be the lamest "we need a timeout" excuse...}:( You love this guy and you did that? Sheesh!
Katherine--I almost felt sorry for her last night. As for what she shouted out to Damon before he sealed her up in the tomb...I can't figure out if she was telling the truth out of desperation [She seems to put self-preservation first and foremost.]. Or if she was lying/telling a half truth yet again. I don't think I'd have wanted to chance it either. They'd better hope she doesn't find a way out of there though.
Alaric or Ric--The Ric thing just tickles me...I wish they'd given him a little more to do. Hopefully he can keep Jenna from further harm if nothing else.
Aimee--It never even occurred to me she'd be one of the ones to go. But then, I think every TV show that says they're going to kill off a character and shows pictures of guesses...almost always throws you a curveball. [i.e. It's almost never part of the main cast, unless they're looking to shock, kill off characters just to prove they can, they're crazy, or a little bit of all three.]
Sara--That broke my heart. :( And after Caroline tried so hard too.
Tyler--Unless they plan to do to him what they did to Mason, the Salvatores have werewolf trouble again. :( Even without Katherine pulling his strings...I'm having a blast watching how they tie up [or don't] all the loose ends. If it's one thing the writers on this show know how to do, it's keep you watching.
Damon--He's scary when he goes off and you're never really sure that anyone's going to be able to rein him back in. I don't think the sipping helps either. [That's what my mother used to call it when someone just about always had a glass in their hand. Sipping. XD] Again, I love that Ian Somerhalder can be over the top, but he can give subtle too...I'm waiting to read the TWP review by Cindy McLennan. The Evil Pixie Monster thing just tickles me no end, it clicks though. Nicole over at Give Me My Remote also brought up a good point about the moonstone...I thought it needed to be there to keep Katherine weak[er?], but who knows?
Hopefully, I didn't forget anybody, because I'm exhausted. lol
The dresses...That's a blog post unto itself...I think I liked Caroline's best and her shoes[Have I mentioned how much I love red and black?]...I'll look at this ep again before next week I'm sure.

Plan B-U Know the Drill-Yes,this post does contain spoilers
Bonnie --It was wonderful to see her last night. She can give aneursysms...that's truly scary.
I think if Bonnie, had gotten to know Carter[from the Brave New World ep] better, it would've been harder for her to make any kind of amends with Caroline. As far as the friction between her and Damon...I can't figure out if that's true hatred or sexual tension, or what...if she wanted to, she could annihilate him [Stefan knows this, Damon I think takes too much for granted.], yet something stops her.
Then, there were other little things I noticed...how Damon pulled Mason off Bonnie. Calling her "Judgy"...Thanking her. Someone even pointed out that he held the car door open for her. [Which I didn't see, so I think a repeat viewing is in order. ;)]
Bamon is a ship I wouldn't mind. If Delena doesn't work out, I wouldn't hate this...
Matt - I'm trying not to give away too many spoiler here, but to say he's in a heap of trouble is an understatement.
Tyler--I knew the curse was going to pass to him somehow, I just wasn't sure if it would be by design [Katherine] or accident.
Stefan--Poor Baby! :( After Damon ticked off Katherine intentionally, I was sort of wishing he was the one that wound up in a well full of vervain, but more on him later...Were he and Damon color coordinated last night? I don't remember this always being the case, but I definitely noticed it last night.
Caroline--I loved the bonding that went on between she and her mother last night, and it broke my heart that Caroline decided to go ahead and compel her mom anyway. :( I think she's right that ultimately it'd become necessary. I also felt it was better to have Caroline do this, than Damon. Something about Caroline compelling her own mother, just made it a little easier to take.
Elena -- I liked how they switched back and forth between her and Katherine. I think they made their point without hitting you over the head with it. When it's done right, I love it.
As far as Katherine finding out the moonstone, was gone...Elena dropping the flashlight in the well water didn't help either.
Katherine--What does she need another werewolf for? Can't believe she did that to Jenna either. :( For her to have that many backup plans, she either wants something that the moonstone is the key to, she's in some sort of trouble [Bigger Baddie holding something over her perhaps?], she really just loves to screw with people or all of the above.
Mason--The torture scene didn't devolve into camp, at least not to me. I think they did an excellent job. It was hard to watch, but at the same time, I couldn't tear my eyes away.
Jeremy--I think he's in way over his head.
Damon--If ever there is a character that delights me one minute and exasperates me the next on this show, he's it [With Elena running at a close second.]. Stefan softened the request to Bonnie. Stefan tried to warn him about ticking off Katherine too [I'd swear, sometimes you'd think he was the older brother.]. He tried to take the blame and keep Elena from leaving, but it was too little, too late. For now, until he learns to keep his rage from blinding him, he's going to be a liability to any of their plans. But then, he might surprise, like he did in the Kill or Be Killed Ep. Time will tell...
Looking forward to The Masquerade next week.

Kill or be Killed (Last Night's Vampire Diaries ep and Yes this post does contain spoilers.)
Julie Plec and Ian Somerhalder were tweeting last night during air time on the east coast. It was my first time participating in something like that. I enjoyed it more than I expected to.
Ok, here I go:
Bonnie - We don't see her until another new ep airs. I'd still like to see more of her though.
Matt --Not there last night.
Tyler--partied with Jeremy, Aimee, and Sarah and came close to being cursed right along with his brother. Would I be asking for to much, if I said I hoped he did not wind up a werewolf? There's actually such a thing as too much angst.
Mason--That scene between he and Stefan. I swear I forgot to breathe. So much tension last night. I love eps like this one. My theory that an accidental killing was not an escape clause from the curse also panned out [I don't suppose it'd make for good, suspenseful TV without that would it?].
Katherine--What's up between her and Mason? And what's up with the moonstone? I also think she is a great big garden tool, but I digress.
Elena--Was it just me or did she and Stefan give anyone else a toothache as far as their "I love you" code for the fake argument? I enjoy happy couples don't get me wrong, but I don't like sappy. I just don't. :(
Caroline-- I can't believe she whooped Mason! I was like Wow! Didn't see that coming. [I don't think she could take Alcide on True Blood, but I bet she'd have fun trying.] I love that although she was afraid to come clean to her mom she did it anyway. Candice Accola has been amazing to watch in these past few eps.
Deputy ?--I was so sorry to see him go...I wish they'd stop that. Again, I'm so conflicted about loving this show, it's not even funny.
Damon--In some ways he didn't surprise me [Saying he didn't want peace, messing with Mason at the Volunteer Day event, draining the deputy and being blase' about it.]. What did knock me for a loop was how he talked to Caroline about being hard on her mom and when he spared Caroline's mom. [Ticked and hurt always seem to make him unpredictable. I also wonder what Damon's relationship with his mother was like. Was he a disappointment to her too? ]
Also, was it my imagination, or did it seem like he was going to say something about the ring when the Caroline's mom threatened Stefan?
Ok, here I go:
