so I'm just going to vamp out. Sorry if there are people that actually do.
I am loving season two of the vampire diaries. Seriously, so awesome. I missed blogging about the first few episodes of the season, and if I weren't so lazy, I'd go back and do them. But, I am, so I'm just going to pick up with episode 203: Bad Moon Rising. And with no particular method to my madness.
Caroline makes an awesome vamp. Her issues are *fun* issues, as opposed to Vicki, who just had crackwhore issues. And I can't wait to see what happens with mommydearest. Will she catch on that Caro is a vamp now? Will she notice the pretty new ring she has that seems to look a lot like the rings that the Salvatore brothers wear? Or will she continue to live in lala land, hunting vampires with the help of Damon? And where the heck IS she anyway? Did she not notice her daughter sulking around in the dark for days on end? Her daughter just made a miraculous recovery from a serious accident; is she SO wrapped up at work? Nothing's even going on there as far as we know. AND she's our only inside on the council - which now consists of whom? The Lockwood widow, Liz... and??? We know she's still trying to figure out who attacked John, so where the heck IS she???
Speaking of the Lockwoods... Mason has a LOT of explaining to do to poor Tyler. Shouldn't SOMEONE have clued him in by now though? Hello, MOM had the perfect opportunity to tell him about the curse, when he brought up the cellar. So did Mason. Were they really going to let that poor kid (sigh... I'm calling TYLER a poor kid again - what's WRONG with me???) phase without telling him what was up first? Yeah, THAT seems like a good idea... hmmm... I'm Tyler... but now.. I'm a wolf... and now I'm attacking my 'friends' (does Tyler even HAVE real friends?)... hmmm... I wonder if there's something going on someone should have told me about before now??? Why all the secrecy, people? Are you really just HOPING it doesn't happen to him, even though it apparently happened to his father and happens to his uncle? UGH!
So... the folklore chick went all Buffy on Elena, thinking she was Katherine. And Damon takes the arrow for her. And Elena proceeds to be a manipulative bitch to him. This is NOT endear her to me. I know she has a very valid reason for being mad at him; killing Jeremy wasn't cool. And of course, no, he didn't actually know Jeremy had the ring. But he's trying to make it up to her, and she's just using him. Playing with him. Calling her out on it was probably my favorite Damon moment of the season so far - saying that she and Katherine had more in common than just looks. He's grown up a lot since finding out Katherine wasn't in the tomb and it's nice to see him really standing up for his interests instead of just being a jerk. But I feel so awful for him. Right now, Jeremy is being more reasonable than Elena is, and for whiny little Jeremy, that's saying a lot.
And I am PISSED at Bonnie's attitude. She ASKED Damon to give Caroline blood to heal her. So Damon does it (for Elena again, but does it regardless) and of course, Katherine comes along and vamps Caroline. To fuck with Elena. And yet... Damon is the bad guy and now Caroline has to fear Bonnie's wrath? I get it; Bonnie hates vamps. But if it weren't for her asking for the favor from Damon, Caroline wouldn't even BE a vamp! I guess I just really don't get her motivations. Maybe she doesn't either. But she needs to figure out where her loyalties lie before I bitchslap her, because she's pretty much treating everyone like shit, and that's a pretty poor excuse for a friend. Why the hell is she even hanging around them at this point?
So... those are my thoughts on this week's episode. For myself. If anyone DOES stumble upon this and wants to read or comment or whatever, feel free :)
