[deathly_smirk]

Brought to you by popular demand (DD lol) Remember how I said last week (for those of you who've read my 1x19 review..that I can't do TV show reviews cz of the fact my feelings usually change by the next episode? Well they haven't).

The Good

Stefan
Even before I'd watched this episode I knew Stefan would own it. And was I right? Of course I was

Where do I start with my problems for this episode? There was no Bonnie! I was so pissed that I started crying. I couldn't believe they had her gone for four episodes, brought her back for one, and then took her out of this one. Are you freaking serious? So, okay. Bonnie's not here, but at least we'll learn about her ancestor right? One of the most powerful witches in the family line? Nope! She was just there to explain to Stefan what was going on. I mean I get the flashbacks were in Stefan's point of view, but I'm still pissed. It's like the writers don't give a crap about anyone's background that's not connected to the big three. Once again, I will point at Tyler.

I don't understand why Harper was on the show. Like you, I loved him. And then they killed him. He didn't do anything! And Pearl's ultimate purpose seemed to have been to give Damon the invention.

I agree with you that PW owned this episode, and he will own it forever, but I can't love this episode because I was expecting Bonnie and we didn't get her.

I thought Malese Jow did a great job with the crying, but Kat still owns best cry. After her is Paul. I'm really surprised he's so good at crying because male actors usually suck at it.

Damon was sort of back to his old self in this episode, but there was still something off about his interactions with Elena. Sure, he called her a nuisance, but I'm guessing we were supposed to find that cute? No.

If I'm being shafted of Bonnie, then I can't manage to like a single character. It's a testament to PW's amazing acting skills that he's the only one I didn't hate in this episode.

Great review just like last time. I hope you continue to do them!

Its effin' ridiculous. Bonnie is important to the storyline which they continue to prove whether they like it or not. The Bennetts were there at the beginning for the Salvatores - how can they hope to seperate Bonnie from them when it gets tough? Emily didn't CHOOSE to get involved with the vampires - they involved HER & they've never really been able to free themselves. That was the point of this week's show. I would've liked to see Bonnie TRY & cut off all things to lead to vampires. Idk..search for a spell to make her more powerful..or undetectable etc. we need to see SOME backlash from her against the vampires..

I hate the fact that if no on is in Elena's immdeiate radar they don't have any screen time. RIDICULOUS

"The Bennetts were there at the beginning for the Salvatores - how can they hope to seperate Bonnie from them when it gets tough?"

This is so true. They've had Stefan say that the Bennetts have ALWAYS helped the Salvatores. When are we going to see this? Are they planning on severing the connection between the two families? Ugh. Hopefully this Thursday's episode will be a start. I REALLY need a Stefan/Bonnie scene. He and Sheila used to be friends back in the day. He should tell her he feels her pain or something.

'Kat still owns best cry. After her is Paul. I'm really surprised he's so good at crying because male actors usually suck at it.'

Ian, Paul & Kat are the only ones that made me cry when they cry. I think shows talent as well as range. The strongest actors in the whole thing. Apart from Anders of course
