TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Graduation”

Hard to Say Goodbye My Love

Source: Vampire-Diaries.Net

Honestly, I woke up yesterday morning prepared to breakup with TVD. Now, I’m not so sure. I’ll admit, last night’s season finale was far from extraordinary, but it did remind me of why I loved the show in the first place. It had one of my favorite Klaus moments. Ever. A Delena moment that left us speechless. Although, one that would have made more of an impact several episodes ago. Let us not forget, the abundance of bewildering, messed up twists and cliffhangers. In all seriousness, I’m confused. Just when I thought I was out, you pull me back in. Why can’t I quit you, TVD? Why?!

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – The Walking Dead

With a Little Help From My Friends

Source: Vampire-Diaries.Net

NEWS ALERT! Kim the FanGirl will not be making an opening statement this week. Officials say the omission has been caused by recent events involving History teachers, hunters, and long-awaited cliffhangers. Stand by for your regularly scheduled programing. You’ve been warned. This is a SPOILER ALERT.

With gradation soon approaching, it’s time to focus on the important things, like controlling emotions, brutal revenge, and Pilates. Though Elena is cured of her ridiculous obsession with unemotional aloofness, thanks to Stefan (Dude!), she has only one seriously unsuitable goal in mind: killing Katherine. She has her reasons, of course. Good reasons, seeing as the Vampire Bitch did kill her brother/cousin. However, everyone is against the idea. Why? We have no idea. Yeah, Elena might suffer from a nervous breakdown after, but weren’t we expecting that anyway? Still, Stefan has put his foot down, and he means business. Besides, Elena is acting a bit funny. Seriously, what’s with the attitude, Elena? It’s getting harder to differentiate between you and your evil alter ego. Rage is not a good look on you, Sweetie. I miss the overly emotional, self-sacrificing Elena, as hard as it is to believe. Hopefully, Stefan can whip your butt into shape before the episode is through; and I don’t just mean with the workouts and whatnot. Girl, you really need to take a chill pill.

The Girl That I Loved

What can I say? My apologies for the delay. It was a long, very tiring weekend. Damon and Stefan barely let me get any sleep the entire time. They wouldn’t stop! They just kept going and going. I’m exhausted. They’ve got some mad skills, though. Luckily, I’m a tough cookie. Not like Elena – such a wuss. Seriously, where did they learn those techniques? Some of that stuff should be illegal! Really, I didn’t think I could take it. They’re scary when they’re angry. That’s why I already promised them, I’ll never steal their diary’s or publish them again. With the exception of the few entries I copied before they caught me, of course. Seriously, those interrogation sessions are pure torture. Wait a minute. What did you think I was talking about?

TV Worth Watching: Downton Abbey

Upstairs, Downstairs

British dramas. Could there be anything better? Well, actually, now that I think about it, there is one thing better than an hour-long British drama. A period drama, hour-long, British. Speaking as someone who has a rather dominate addiction to them, I can assure you, I am in the right. Think about it. Think of the breakneck paced dialogue – ridiculously smart and eloquent – spoken in varying styles of the Queen’s English. Grand historic locations. Inordinate castles built on hundreds of acres of vibrant green grass and towering elder trees. How about the infamous streets of ol’ London Town? Splendid and posh. Lavish balls and ostentatious dinner parties. Lords and ladies dressed in elegant vintage costumes adorned with hand-fastened crystal, buttons, and beads. Quite frankly, I challenge you to find a more romantic, sublimely beautiful, compelling work of fiction than a complex televised character play set in the early 1900′s. It’s the Brit’s forte!

And yet, Downton Abbey is so much more than that. For those who aren’t closely acquainted with this specific type of drama, it’ll be somewhat hard to understand. Downton isn’t your typical formulated performance. Though sharing several esteemed characteristics with its well-known predecessors, Downton‘s strength is its distinctive characters and unwavering ability to remain progressive without fear – skillfully stunning or shocking the audience into many fits of incredibility. I’ve watched many Masterpiece Classics in my day, and I can truly say, this one is different; a show definitely worth watching.

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “The Originals”

It’s Good to Be the King

Source: Vampire-Diaries.Net

Confused. Even after hours of contemplation and reexamination, I still feel confused. Truthfully, I had been thrilled and optimistic about a weekly hour-long drama dedicated to Joseph Morgan and his signature smirk. Not to mention, Elijah “Suit Up” Mikaelson. I’m sure we all were and still are. At this point in time, though, I’m not sure what to make of The Originals. I wanted to be awed. I wanted to immediately drop all my allegiances to TVD and pledge my undying devotion to Klaus and the Mikaelson family. As you can imagine, that didn’t happen. It’s not that I didn’t like it. I did. The dialogue was spot on. The direction was fantastic. Elijah was badass. Except, at some point during the episode they lost me. I don’t know if it was horrendous demon b**y plot line, or the fact that Klaus wasn’t up to his usual standards. I just felt and feel. . . confused. I’m not sure how this all will play into a series. I actually have a few questions. One question, actually. What does Klaus think of the name Renesmee?

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “American Gothic”

Trust 101

Source: The Vampire Diaries Blood Falls

We’re in the home-stretch of the TVD season, with only a handful of episodes to go, with only a few more chances for them to right their wrongs. These past couple of weeks, TVD has improved its game, reminding us of the good old days with witty quips and mad (in a good way) story lines. Well, last night was no different. Although progress has been made, it still feels like they’re dragging their feet on the ground. This latest installment was an improvement, but I’m still waiting for the mayhem and gore. Where is it? Personally, I think we can sum up American Gothic in two words: Shirtless Klaus. I’m only kidding, of course. Beautiful Elijah will also do.

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Because the Night”

Two’s Company. Three’s a Crowd.

Source: The Vampire Diaries Blood Falls

Throughout the course of last night’s episode, you couldn’t help but feel as if you were walking down a familiar road, a path that somehow had the possibility to lead towards home. We all know it’s a journey that is nowhere near complete, but it felt like TVD finally (at least, for the time being) made an effort to get back to basics, to what it does best. It felt as if we had received some sort of small compensation for the weeks we were left out in the cold, with no quality plot lines to keep us stuck to our seats. Although I can’t say it was that great, it held my interest and drove me to muster up, at least, some enthusiasm to make me yell at my TV – to actually make me care about what was happening on-screen. Considering that hasn’t happened in a while, I’d say we’re taking a step in the right direction. Rebekah may have played a part in the catalyst for that. She definitely had the best moment of the night. Her high standards have taught us all a valuable lesson in removing the most ungentlemanly like chaps from our sight. Regrettably, she never had the opportunity to meet Lexi, who could have used that move with Damon.

Never saw that little bombshell coming, did ya?

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Bring It On”

Bad Girls

Source: The Vampire Diaries Blood Falls

Having lost her brother, her humanity and her home, you would expect Elena Gilbert to be a little bat-crap-crazy. However, acting like a robotic Katherine-Clone is not exactly what we had in mind. Elena was ruthless, cruel. She was homicidal, a she-devil! In all seriousness, we have to ask, what the hell, Elena? You are in crucial need of a time out. Go. Go stand in the corner while the rest of us talk about your abhorrent behavior. You heard me. This is a Spoiler Alert!

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Stand By Me”

Acceptance & Denial

Source: The Vampire Diaries Blood Falls

Saying Goodbye

Elena Gilbert sobbed uncontrollably as she held her dying brother in her arms. She tried to deny what her heart was telling her – that he was gone, that he was never coming back – but she couldn’t, wouldn’t believe it. Not this time. Not this way. He was the only family she had left. He would come back to her, just like he always had. She’d make sure of it. There was absolutely no way her brother was dead.

Hours later, Elena sat silently by Jeremy’s bedside, waiting for him to wake up. Stefan kept his eyes on Elena. He could tell she was falling apart. There was no way she’d survive this. Jeremy’s death was going to destroy her, irrevocably change her. She needed someone to be there for her, comfort her, make her see that everything would be all right. Stefan frowned. Would it be? Would Elena ever be the same? He didn’t think so. Not this time.
