I had a dream about Mason from Vampire Diaries last night. Bizarre. We were hanging out on the roof of some mall-type building, sprawled on blankets and snoozing beneath the covers. It was a very warm and squishy dream (I mean that in a purely platonic, non-dirty way), and I woke up about 6.30am with a craving for lemonade. Huh.

Writers of shows like this really love to emphasise the contrast between the all-out bad boy and the bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-gold. But there's a line, you know? You can't introduce the idea of redemption when the character in question has pushed past the limits of being salvaged. Because, you know, despite the fact that Damon has killed/threated/maimed a lot of the characters I like, it's his abuse of Caroline that really bothers me. The show treats it so superficially, which I don't like, and the fact that he still continues to treat her like a play thing grates on me. It's equivalent to domestic abuse in my eyes. If you want to get into the complexities of his relationship with her, it involved rape, emotional abuse and out-and-out cruelty. And none of that is forgivable or redeemable
