The Vampire Diaries Catch-Up Chat!

I have finally caught up with all the latest episodes of The Vampire Diaries as of this morning!! This season has just blown me-- I was very worried that last season was going to be a fluke and that the show was going to have a 2nd season slump on creativity and storyline, BUT I WAS SO WRONG!! I think I just thought the show was too good to be true, I mean it's such a good show-- how can the writers be so awesome and creative? It just goes to show that I am not in any way a writer, cause I can't even imagine coming up with such great story lines, and plot twist like that which this show has delivered to us since it began.

I have just finished watching the episode titled, Katerina, and it has really brought us to an interesting point in this 2nd season-- here is my attempt at a recap of the last few episodes I have failed to blog about:

Bonnie & Jeremy- LOVE THE IDEA OF THESE TWO TOGETHER!! Jeremy has really come into his own-- physically and personality. First off he has gotten so HOT! The boy is really channeling the adorableness + physique. And Bonnie, I love Bonnie-- but I'm kinda upset that she seems to be getting played again with these new Warlocks, I don't want her to be the victim, I don't want Jeremy having to save her, I want Bonnie and Jeremy as an invincible duo.... maybe they are just playing with me and Bonnie will see thru these new Warlocks.

Caroline & Stefan - The friendship between these two is just so great, cause they both really need a FRIEND, and somebody that is totally 100% friend with no physical attraction getting in the way and I think that they have found that with each other and I hope the writers see that and acknowledge that. Cause really, the one thing that these two both struggle with is that need to be loved, but no in a romantic sort of way. They both are rejected by members of their family repeatedly so they each need to have someone in their life that is on their side purely out of LIKE, not love or hate.

Katerina/Katherine & Elena- The idea of why Elena is a doppelganger is now known, and it's interesting. I really had no idea nor do I still have any idea of what twist and turns this show is going to take us to the end of the season, and I love that, cause too often I find that shows and movies are too predictable. My hope is that Katherine and Elena will evolve into one person/vampire.

Damon: Love him, love him, love him. And now hopefully the writers have given Damon somebody to love that isn't Elena as well. I think this new Vamp could be a good match for Damon... she just needs a little more edge to her? I dunno, though my new theme song for Damon is Usher's "Somebody to Love"

Alaric: Where for art thou????? NOT ENOUGH OF MY VAMPIRE SLAYER!!!

What do you all think?

Vamp Diaries Music

After watching last night's episode, I remembered another reason why I like this show so much -- the music that is played on it!  Love.  Click here to listen to any of the songs played during last night's episode.  You can also search back through previous episodes.  Pretty cool, huh?

"Brave" by Tawgs Salter really caught my attention :-)

So GREAT!! Like, seriously so good!!!!

I know I'm behind with last weeks Vampire Diaries post, and I will post it either tonite or tmrw morning-- BUT THIS IS TOO GOOD NOT TO POST YET!! This may be the best trailer the show has done to date, this one is for the up comming episode-- LOVE the Alraric part, he rocks! (btw, the episode airs Oct 21, this weeks is a rerun)

Vampire Diaries Season 2 Epi 4 "Memory Lane"

Was it just me, or did anyone else feel like they kept waiting for something major to happen the whole episode? And then it just didn't?  I know not every episode is going to be completely amazing... there will be a few in between as "fillers" and I felt like this was one of those.  There were a few moments that made me laugh, and a few moments that made me gasp, but nothing too dramatic.

Hottest Stefan Moment:
Unfortunately I did not see too much hottness from our Stefan this episode.  Don't get me wrong -- he is hot all on his own! But nothing major stood out to me.  I did however find him pretty yummy during the scene when he had Katherine in the basement & she threatened him to stay away from Elena or else she would hurt everyone around her.  His anger & rage outburst was pretty sexy!

Best Damon Line:
(at Jenna's bbq - between Damon & Mason)
Mason: "We haven't met. I'm Mason Lockwood."
Damon: "Oh sure. Damon Salvatore."
Mason: "I know, I've heard a lot of great things about you."
Damon: "Really? That's weird. Because I'm a dick."

hehehe ♥ oh Damon! yes, you can be a dick but we still LOVE you!

Later during the bbq, I had a good laugh as the banter continued between Damon & Mason:
Mason: "I'm sorry. I'm an animal." -- when grabbing the pie with his hands.
Damon: "I always pegged you as the lone wolf." -- talking about Mason back in high school.
Mason: "Well I'm sure you were the lady killer." -- refering to Damon in his younger years.

Did anyone else freak when Stefan almost kissed Katherine??!!  I ALMOST thought he was going to give in! I was screaming at the tv!!

After tonight's episodes some questions have surfaced:
- Why is Caroline helping Katherine? do you think she is scared & doing it only out of fear? or could there be an ulterior motive that we have yet to see?
- What is the deal with the moon stone that Tyler is keeping away from Mason? and why did Katherine have it to begin with?
- Does anyone else think 1800 Stefan & Damon are hideous??!!! lol

Vampire Diaries Season 2 Epi 3 "Bad Moon Rising" Discussion

Did anyone else have "Twilight-esque" moments while watching this episode??
1. Stefan(edward) and Elena's (bella) kiss before she went of with Damon (jacob)-- very treaty-line like
2. Stefan hunting with Caroline for rabbits, strongly resembled Edward to me

Hottest Stefan Moment: I'm enjoying Stefan taking Caroline under his wing, it is really fun to see him develop a new friendship with her. In this weeks episode I adored the scene of Stefan and Caroline hunting for rabbits-- he looked fantastic in that grey tee shirt he was wearing. I mean seriously, the make-up department has stepped up their game this year with Stefan, he is breathtaking.
How awesome was the dialogue between these two? I loved Caroline teasing Stefan about his "Serious Vamp look" and such.

Best Damon Line: "Like that amazing Vampire story?" (his retort to Isobel's research being a bunch of myths)

YAY YAY YAY!!! ALARIC HAS RETURNED!!! I was thrilled at the return of Alaric to the show, I just really love the character-- he brings an important presence of an older male (whose on the side of good) to the show that I think it important to the relationships of our characters.

So, the search for the ulterior motives of Kathryn continues, and that brings some of the gang  to Duke to look through Isobel's research. Damon finds a book that may lead to some insite to Kathryn's motives. Right away we learn with this book that she hails from Europe and that Petrova was her maiden name
(is that correct?? I'm writing this off of notes, a few days after I've written them!! It really is easier to write this as soon as the epi finishes!! my bad!)

Back to Caroline, Stefan and the Werewolf Mason-- What was Stefan thinking walking towards the back of that SUV??? He has superpower hearing, he knew that there was a very wound up dog was inside in the most tame situation!!! Curiosity, I suppose, and boy was his walk up to the truck suspenseful!!! "Oh, SHIT!" came flying out of my mouth at the moment the window broke, THANK GOD HE DIDN'T GET BITTEN!!!! I'm so afraid of that happening now!

I truly hope that Caroline doesn't become Kathryn's plaything or cohort-- I've got high hopes for Caroline and I hope she doesn't automatically do Kathryn's bidding.... she won't right!?!

Where do you all see this coming to a head? Anyone have a guess as to what Kathryn's up to?

I'm throwing this pic in cause I think it's funny-

Vampire Diaries Season 2 Epi 2 "Brave New World" Discussion

This episode went buy in the blink of an eye, I swear it seemed ten minuets long! But that is a good thing, Vamp Diaries killed it again! So great!

Hottest Stefan Moment:
The whole episode! Damn he is just awesome this year! But of course his most epic moment was the last scene, waking up Elena and jumping up into the ferris wheel- Seriously, how awesome is he?
I also really loved his scene with Caroline in the bathroom- he is just blowing me away this year, thus far.

Best Damon Line:
In this episode it was Damon and Stefan together that created the best line of the show-
Stefan "Maybe he's a Ninja Turtle... or a  Zombie"
Damon "You've got no comedic timing..."
Our Damon is still a little lost boy, but I love the chemistry between him and  Jeremy-- they are going to be interesting together! And I must say, Jeremy looked fantastic in this episode, I dare even say he was HOT! Much better wardrobe and hair than the first episode, so glad not to see the leather jacket again.

My one disappointment-- WHERE IS ALARIC?????

The Werewolves-- So we know that they are indeed Werewolves, if we go by the clip for next weeks epi. But seriously-- where is the hair?? where are the wolfy like features? Mason looks more like and Incredible Hulk than a Werewolf.
I'm curious about what the Moonstone actually does.

Caroline--- SO awesome! I'm really going to like her as a Vampire. I loved her last scene with Matt, and her following the technique Stefan gave her in the bathroom. I think the show did an awesome job of her becoming aware of what she was and her struggle with the realization and the confusion all at the same time. How bad ass was she with Damon in the school? (when Elena, Stefan, and Damon conferenced in Alaric's classroom I was hoping he would make his appearance than--- am I wrong? I don't remember him in the first episode...? was he at the Mayor's wake? or the hospital?)

Bonnie-- I was so excited about Carter, I thought they were introducing her new love interested! Booooo!

Vampire Diaries Season 2 Premier "The Return" Discussion!

WOW! WOAH! OH MY GAWD! I exclaimed that and more tonite as I watched the premier tonite-- SOSOSOSOSO Great!

First up- We were left with three big cliff hangers from season one:
1. Jeremy- Dead?
2. Tyler- Werewolf?
3. Katherine- Why?

Stefan's Hottest Moments:
1.Blue V-neck tee-shirt!! The wardrobe department did good here.
2. Stefan seeing right through Katherine, and literally hurling her across the room! YES! I did not want him to be tricked by her, I was screaming at the TV for him not to be tricked by her! I love Stefan, love him and this episode brought him to us after the hiatus raring to go! I love "tough guy" Stefan!

Damon's best line: "To risk another frown line, on a very crowded forehead" Oh, our poor Damon! He was trying and doing so well at being a god guy! I was actually pissed at Bonnie for giving him such a hard time- I yelled "Bitch!" at the TV when she used her power on him. But that ending was amazing, and our poor Damon has fallen off the "Nice Wagon" once again! My mouth hit the floor when he snapped Jeremy's neck!!



Episode Overview:
So our cliffhangers have somewhat been answered. Jeremy did not overdose, but then oh my gosh did I for a minute think he was going to be a Vamp at the end!!! Effin Damon!! Yay, to John for giving him the ring!
Tyler is definitely something, I'm still guessing Were-- but I'm excited to hear more about this Curse, Uncle Mason(was that his name?) is speaking about-- I'm sure Bonnie will play into that. And can we say BAD ASS BONNIE?? Though, I was expecting something between her and Elena about not taking the spell off that vamp shrieker thingy from the season finale...?
Katherine- Back to get Stefan? I'm not sure I buy that, cause she isn't doing anything that I would consider close to an attempt at reconciling with him.

So that brings us to Caroline!!! YES!! We now have our new Vamp, curious to see if she will last or be killed off pretty fast. I was bummed when they killed Vicki, Stefan's friend, and Anna off. I knew that too much vamp blood was being shared in this episode for there not be SOMEONE turned- I think Caroline will be alot of fun as a Vamp sidekick to Damon.

Odd things I though of:
- Jeremy's leather jacket was hideous and too big on him
-Elena's hair was not straightened very well at all
- Katherine's necklace = her walking in daylight?

WHAT ARE ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS???
