bloodthirsty, hunger and bloodlust
Bringing Out the Dead The coffin opens! Ha! How’s that for opening with a big huge spoiler? And I was right about what was in it too. This was a great episode, very emotional, very climactic. Big things going on. The whole family of Originals is super-hot too. Those damn Vikings, all of them are …
The Ties That Bind I won’t lie guys, this episode was only so-so, in terms of awesomeness. I do realize that we need story development, and I know that it can’t be explosions and insanity all the time. Is it so wrong to want it anyway? On top of everything, this is THE LAST EPISODE …
Our Town This episode was very emotional; yet again, I’m impressed at the lack of filler, and I have have some new points of interest. It’s not all “Oooh, Damon kissed Elena, yayyyy.” I mean sure, that’s a big party in my romance receptors, but there’s more to this episode than the beginnings of a …
The New Deal Phew! It’s been a long wait, hasn’t it? And trust me, I was really chomping at the bit people. Which is why I feel like kind of a dick, because I -totally- forgot that Vampire Diaries was on yesterday. I thought it premiered the 15th, so my duh there. And now I’m …
Homecoming This is it guys, the “mid-season finale”. The next episode won’t air until January 5th, 2012. That’s… over a month. Jesus. But, we can handle it, right? We can all watch… like Teen Wolf or something until it comes back. I’ve got my NetFlix subscription up and running again, so starting next week, I’ll …
Ghost World I was pretty much warned before I even started watching this episode, that I was going to end up crying. I did, of course, –it was a really emotional show. And I also kinda expected it since the last episode ended with ghosts popping up everywhere, all physical and stuff. I wonder if …
Smells Like Teen Spirit It’s that time of the week again! I was kind of afraid that this would be a filler-y episode, and during the first fifteen, twenty minutes of this episode, I was -really- scared. The episode was all about Rebecca and the new Stefan integrating into the high school. And it had …
Vampire Diaries – Season 3 – The Reckoning The episode made me fairly apprehensive; I’ll explain why in a little bit, but phew, what a ride! Wasn’t that whole thing just… insanity?! I mean, Klaus, and Stefan… god… anyway, there’s no time like the right time to just… dive right in and get started with …
Vampire Diaries – Season 3 – Disturbing Behavior This episode didn’t have any flashbacks, but it had kind of a herky-jerky flow, not to mention, a lot more focus on filler, –that I have to admit, didn’t do a whole lot for me. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the show, and it’s always …
The Vampire Diaries – Season 3 – The End of the Affair Oooh, we’re so happy to have you back, Vampire Diaries! I mean, you’re not True Blood, and you don’t have to be, –you’re unique, and beautiful…. like a Fight Club snowflake. Except with a better agenda, and hotter actors. I mean, Edward Norton …
The Vampire Diaries – Season 3 – The Hybrid I’m trying out a new format for this whole synopsis thing; you might recognize the style from what I did this year with True Blood. Feedback is appreciated, but not compulsory. Now, to business! This was a frigging terrific episode, very emotional, –and I can’t wait …
With the release of “Let Me In,” the American adaptation John Ajvide Lindquist’s novel, a trope that naturally comes to mind is the child vampire. Although as disturbing as it seems shocking, there’ve actually been a fair number of the breed in popular entertainment. One might think that Claudia from Anne Rice’s seminal “Interview With …
The Return The season finale of Vampire Diaries had everyone on edge; the kiss that Katherine gave Damon, who mistook her for Elena, the violent attack on Elena’s real father, John Gilbert, Jeremy’s attempted suicide, Anna’s death, Mayor Lockwood’s death at the hands of his own teammates, and Tyler Lockwood’s bizarre reaction to the device …
Oh My Effing God. This episode will absolutely BLOW your mind, –it’s hot, it’s sexy, it’s got action, and deaths, –no ‘big’ deaths really, except for, well, let me not get too ahead of myself here. Basically, it’s the season finale, everything is coming to a conclusion, and yet, they drop all this other hardcore …
Be prepared for flashbacks galore, this episode is chock full of tedious looking back on events; maybe it’s a personal taste issue… But I just can’t get into a flashback. Why not just sum it up in a single sentence: “Stefan forced Damon to transition to full vampire… back in yesteryear.” That was basically the …
Things keep building as the season winds down to its finale; the tension is so thick you just want to …well, yeah, it’s kind of ‘climactic” like an orgasm. But the big finale is our finish, so we have to just grab the sheets and squirm. In this episode, Stefan’s ‘blood problem’ is getting really …
For those of you who don’t follow The Vampire Diaries too closely, –first of all, shame on you, –Malese Jow is the actress portraying Anna, daughter of Pearl. Anna is a young, teen vampire, over a century old, perhaps older even than Damon and Stefan, who worked her butt off to be able to get …
As the season winds down, tension builds, –and it comes to a head when Johnathan Gilbert, brother of Elena’s father, returns to town. Not only does this ‘long lost’ type character come back to town, he also comes back with a chip on his shoulder, during kind of a bad time for everyone involved. Everyone …
A lot happens in this episode, –it’s busy, and thank god, it’s the end of bullshit filler silliness. At least, not so much filler in this episode. As it turns out, Pearl isn’t really interested in killing a bunch of people; she wants to re-assimilate the vampire population in Mystic Falls, without really causing a …
Detecting the main thread of the story in this episode is a little difficult; the episode throws three subplots at you at once, and you have to kind of wait to see where it’s going, unlike the last episode, which was slightly more straight forward. Pearl, Anna’s mother, is being a total bitch; the rest …
