Oh, Vampire Diaries! How is it possible that you are so consistently delightful?! I have so much love for this episode--it may be my favourite of the season so far.

Caroline continues to be awesome and amazing. ♥ I was so glad to hear her mom notice and give voice to the change in her--she's totally more confident now. I was a little worried last week when they let her do a tiny bit of the I'm not worthy/You're so wonderful bit with Elena, but thankfully that was nipped in the bud really quick (almost as if the show felt it was pretty tiresome too!)

The Matt thing is gonna wreak some havoc, though I read interesting rumors about Caro that I don't quite understand how they're going to get there.

Poor Uncle Mason! I will miss him! (Or at least his shirtlessness. I think I enjoyed the actor a bit more on Trauma.)

I knew I'd seen him before somewhere. The newbie ambulance driver and budding authort. THANK YOU for clearing that up. Every time I watched i told myself to check it out on imdb but I always forgot.

Yes, he was very cute as probie Glenn. A lot more angsty here of course. Mystic Falls: The Angst is in the Water. Heh.

I feel like the show has a REALLY GOOD HANDLE on these things! Something in the writing feels very self-aware even though the show doesn't do meta on itself in the dialogue or anything, and yet... there are quite a few moments where I can feel the writers consciously pulling things in. I love it!

Eeek, spoilers, no thanks! I love the suspense waaay too much for that.

I want more Alaric!!

Yeah I know you hate spoilers. I won't say any more on that front. :)

But I do feel like a hallmark of a Kevin Williamson show is being "self-aware." He was only really involved with the first season (and maybe some of the second? when it started tanking?) of Dawson's Creek, but they kind of made their bones for that show on being self-aware. He did have the characters do a lot of meta on themselves back then though, and you're right, usually TVD avoids that.
