My thoughts on "End of the affair" Vampire Diaries Seas. 3, Ep. 3

Damon - Has no shame.  lol  I loved when Gloria essentially told him using his charm on her wouldn't work. 

Gloria - Made it to the end of the ep.  I feel like that is a huge victory in and of itself.   I still want Lucy to come back. 

Stefan - I have nothing to go on here, because there is no Rebecca in the book.  Just because Klaus made him remember doesn't wipe away all his experiences and feelings for Elena though.  I feel like if anything, this will only just further complicate things. 

Klaus - The running from someone premise...Didn't we see this before with Katherine?  I'm starting to get bored with Big Bads running from Even Bigger Bads.  I guess that whole idea just doesn't make sense to me, because sooner or later you have to hit the top of the food chain, don't you?  (I'm sorry, but it has to end somewhere.) 

Rebecca - I just felt nothing...I'll give it a few episodes.  Also, if she threw that much of a tantrum over her missing necklace...I don't even want to see the one she's going to throw if/when she finds out where it is. 

Tyler -  I can't profess my love for him enough. 

Sheriff Forwood - I think she might finally be over seeing Caroline as a monster.  Caroline needs at least one of her parents to have their head on straight.  Thursday night was just heart wrenching. 

Caroline - Candice Accola...There are a lot of talented people that make up this cast, and she is one of the ones that can put on performances that leave me truly speechless. 

Elena - I can't figure out whether she's ready to give up on Stefan or not.  I don't want to see that, but if Klaus finds out she's alive...I really do see what I predicted in one of my previous posts happening. 

Katherine - Couldn't figure out for the life of me where she was last night.  Also, I wish they'd not waste that character. She just seemed like so much filler to me. 

Bonnie - We finally get to see her again next week.  Not that I'm not over the moon about the introduction of Gloria. 

No Jeremy, Vicki, or Anna :(

The 1920's flashbacks - They were alright...Maybe Boardwalk Empire has spoiled me here.  To be fair though, the CW is not HBO, and the flashbacks were not the whole of the story.  I'm also not an expert on the period, so I don't know how accurate they were or weren't, what anachronisms there were, etc.

Boys in the Wood (Last night's Vampire Diaries ep)

Elena--I'm torn with her, because if someone killed or tried to kill one of my family members, I'd be ticked too. The manipulation though...two wrongs don't necessarily make a right...

Caroline--After all the trouble she went to, I was sorry to see her lose Matt.


Bonnie--It's not quite the same as the Sookie/Tara relationship on True Blood, but I definitely see parallels.


Aimee-I don't remember seeing her before and I've only read a couple of the books...It'll be interesting to see what happens with this character...whether they keep her and build on her, or she's just there to drive the plot with the main characters.


Tyler and Mason --I want to know why Tyler didn't change (Is he not of age yet or something?). As for Mason, his self-control must be stellar for him not to have annihilated the inside of that truck. With shows like this, it's a given you're going to have to suspend your disbelief though. It's just a matter of how far/long you're willling to suspend it I guess. : D



Damon--The way he jumped in the way of that arrow for Elena...I was also amused by the fun he was having with Vanessa at Isobel's archives. I couldn't figure out whether he was trying to win her back. ( He seemed to be on a campaign last night, didn't he?) Or whether he is hung up on Elena because Katherine doesn't want him/never loved him (i.e. if I couldn't make Katherine want/love me, I'll make Elena want/love me.). He wasn't feigning that hurt last night...I looked at that kaleidoscope of emotions play across his face last night...and he was actually hurt that he didn't have a chance with her anymore. I'm curious to see what he'll do next and if he'll play right into Katherine's hands by doing so. Or whether his anger will help them defeat her.


Stefan--He was fun last night. Wish we saw more of this side of him. This makes it easier for me to see what draws Elena to him.

I found the title of the ep somewhat problematic and this recent development of "compelling" POC to be disturbing for me as well...I don't think they did this last season...I don't believe it would have slipped past me. I feel so torn...I love this genre and I love my eye candy (Mr. Somerhalder)...so I'm going to give the show some more time...Plus, I also hate quitting before I know how a story turns out...
