I wonder if this is how Ann perkins felt when it took her 2 weeks to realize she'd been dumped.

I appear to have accidentally broken up with The Vampire Diaries. I fully intended to watch this season but have only watched the pilot and appear to have deleted all my caps of the second half of season 2. Onhe one hand, there's a lot less reactionary RAGE towards TV on my part when i'm not subjecting myself to Damon Salvatore and the show's ( Read more... )

I had the exact same thing happen to me with Vampire Diaries. Though I think I made it up to the second or third episode this season? Whichever one was the mandatory flashback episode. Maybe I'll catch up next summer when the season comes out on DVD and I can marathon past all the annoying bits.

Yeah, I'll probably do the DVD bit too.

Despite my love for Bonnie and all the other TVD women, I'd probably give it up too, if I wasn't getting paid to recap it. The Damon crap is still awful and they've added lots of Damon/Elena nonsense on top of it. Bonnie's basically been side-lined all season and Caroline is still only allowed to have storylines that involve her love life so...yeah...I can't say you're missing much. Except Rebekah, who is fantastic but given that she's a sort of evil vampire who isn't Katherine, she'll probably be dead before the end of the season.

Parks and Recreation is my happy place :)

Yeah, Rebekah sounds like a character I'll like, but the lack of Bonnie is very MEH. IMO, it started going downhill when the writers started shipping Damon/Elena and finding his abuse romantic.

The big going-downhill moment for me was after Damon snapped Jeremy's neck in The Return and Elena forgave him like, 3 episodes later. There were plenty of earlier hints that the writers considered his abusive behavoir to be a-okay, but that was the big 'OH CRAP' moment for me.

I think it was even less than 3. And yes, that was when it could no longer be denied that the show was never going to punish Damon for anything (emphasized by the next episode, when the first time someone really tries to deal with Damon, it's about one of about 5 things in the entire series that isn't his fault.)

How caught up are you on P&R like are you watching the currently airing season? Leslie Knope is way up there with all the things in life that make a person happy like puppies and sunshine, I swear! <3

I think I have one disc left of season 3. IIRC, the last ep I watched was the one where the miniature horse died.

I haven't read the book yet, but I have enjoyed the 2 movie versions I've seen (the ones with Billie Piper and Frances o'Connor as Fanny.)
