If you haven't seen it, I suggest you stop reading this so you won't be spoiled.
Normally I would say go watch it, but today I'll suggest that you don't watch because I couldn't be more disappointed in this episode if I tried.
Now, on to my reasons for disliking this episode.
First of all, where are all the characters? Soon we'll be left only with Damon, Stefan, Elena and Caroline, and I love them as much as the next person (okay, that only applies to the Salvatores), but there's only so much you can get with so few characters.
And, yeah, there is Klaus and Rebekah, and that annoying bitch Hayley (seriously...I think soon enough I'll be nick naming TVD as The Bitch Town, since there's no shortage of those), but, from what I gather, soon enough they'll disappear to join the spin-off...which I seriously won't watch.
The last thing I need is more of the joke that The Vampire Diaries became. I miss the old days of the first two seasons (and a little bit of the third season) when everything was so amazing and lovely.
Now I'll get lucky if I don't drool through an episode or yank my hair off in disappointment.
Getting off-track. So, it's been a while since I've felt like Vampire Diaries no longer had me like it used to. Now every character is being cut off.
Tyler's mom, Jeremy, Tyler, Kol...what is going on? At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they cut off the main three.
And, Julie Plec. Money-loving writer of my once-loved Vampire Diaries. I can't say how mad I am at what the writers are doing to the show.
Thursdays used to be filled with vampires, and ice cream in front of my laptop. Now Thursdays are filled with wondering how ruined my favorite show will be by the end of the night.
Now, the whole thing of Caroline calling Tyler...seriously, no. He's gone, he's gone. At least let us accept that. Don't throw it in our face. Four phone calls, five? It's obvious that he won't answer, and so it's pointless waste of screen time.
And then that note from him, to give a conclusion to the phone calls? Please. It's almost like the writers know that they fucked up in writing Tyler and Jeremy off, with the memorial flyer and the phone calls. Trust me, I got it.
Elena's humanity is something I miss. Actually, let's just say I miss human Elena, the character I hated and loved in equal measure. Now she's nothing, worse than nothing, she's annoying.
Elena was the anchor for me, the only girl in the cast that I related to other than Katherine. Well, I related to her when she was human, and now there's no pull for me because not only is she a vampire, she's a vampire with the switch off.
Oh, and the whole Klaus and Hayley thing. Hated that. Forced, unnecessary, boring. I actually got so revolted that I skipped past their scenes. And the sex scene? Oh, gross. And pointless. More pointless screen time, TVD. Not pleased.
Rebekah and Damon hunting Katherine? Oh, yeah, pointless. "He's too far gone..."
Yeah, riiight, Damon. That's stalling. Klaus' blood would have healed the vampire.
Unfortunately for us, Damon's not the only one stalling. The writers are stalling, too, prolonging a storyline that has nothing to it. Whatever happened to our beloved fast-paced show? Now it's all slugs and crawly things. Ew.
So, other than that, there was all the Elena babysitting and bad-behaving...oh, dear pointlessness, the Vampire Diaries loves you.
Well, I think it's time to stop ranting and go to bed. I'm sure I could go on forever about the wrongs, but I think my time is better spent sleeping, since I have to go to school in the morning. (Sigh.)
Anyway. If you agree, or disagree, please comment telling me what you think.
Oh, and BTW, I'm sorry if I was really negative. I'm just generally very disappointed, and that flares my negative right up to the surface.
Okay, so goodnight, and I hope you are all having a great day, or great night. Bye... :)
