So, I realize that this show is based on a book series. Is this series something that someone who watches the show would enjoy reading?

Also, I watched some more episodes.

Lost Girls

OMG! Flashback episode! And... 1864. Katherine!time.

I'm very excited. Time for some truth.

Hello, Katherine.

Well, poor Stefan. His plans just came crashing down. Elena no longer trusts him and his brother is free and killing again. It is a day where it sucks to be him.

Oh, I like that they can have conversations and clear the air. Good on you guys, Elena and Stefan.

Did Damon just turn Vicki into a vampire because he was bored and she wasn't being interesting enough?

Honesty! It's so refreshing, Stefan, please continue.

Flashback!

Katherine is both playful and somewhat autocratic. She's interesting. Definitely flirting with Stefan.

Ah, Katherine wanted an eternal incestuous threesome with two hot guys.

... is she a fangirl?

Okay, I'm actually really enjoying watching Damon and Vicki's 'party'. They're both very pretty.

And then she's dead (undead. Almost a vampire in this mythology).

That Elena/Damon scene. What was that even? (it was awesome and kinda hot, is what it was)

I love how tough Elena is even when she's scared - and protecting her little brother, ftw! Awesome! (I have learned that Elena does not have a little brother in the book series. Is this true? This seems so wrong, she is such a complete big sister, how can she not be one in the original source?)

That Stefan and Vicki scene was so sweet. And then Stefan getting shot by the vampire hunter, eep! But then being saved by Damon! ("If anyone's gonna kill you, it's gonna be me.") You can't fool me, Damon Salvatore. You are being a protective older sibling. If you wanted to kill your brother, you've had plenty of chances before now.

I'm so glad that I now 'know' from the show that Katherine is a vampire and turned the brothers. I think that was my last spoiler-by-fandom-osmosis. Except that I think Katherine comes back at some point. So, that might be my last osmosis spoiler.

Haunted

Is that Tyler I see all alone in the dark?

...is Vicki going to kill him? Because, you know, if she kills anyone, he's the one I'd mind least.

so close

...okay, I guess it's good that Stefan stopped her from killing Tyler.

I finally figured out who Stefan looks like. He looks like Ryder Strong who played Shawn on Boy Meets World!

Stefan and Damon playing the angel and demon (lol, da(e)mon) on Vicki's shoulders definitely makes for a good scene. They have an excuse to share their life philosophies and it doesn't sound clunky!

Elena at the door! Damon, getting the door! I love Elena and Damon's scenes together. She's so fierce. I think fierce!Elena is my favorite.

Oh, yay, Bonnie! It's nice to see you again, Bonnie.

Oh, woah. All that Vicki stuff. And now she's dead for real from being staked? I think. Wow.

Then another boom~crackle Elena and Damon scene (I think that it might have turned him on when she slapped him. Also, there was the blood, but yeah. Fierce!Elena is hot, I think we've already covered this).

Big sister!Elena is also pretty damn fierce.

And, ooo, doing the protective fake memory thing (I'm having flashbacks of Angel and Connor right now). And this is something that giving Elena a little brother does - she and Damon have that ball of fierce big siblingness to them in common. I love the Elena and Stefan scenes a bunch (and she is very obviously attracted to him), but Elena and Damon have something pretty fascinating, too. In her desire to be protective of her little brother, she's fully willing to be ruthless.

162 Candles

Lexie is kinda fun. She does not put up with Damon's BS.

I'm impressed at the way that Damon has eased his way into the vampire-hunting circle.

Aw, Bonnie couldn't not tell Elena about the truth re: witchiness. Am glad that went as well as it did. *hugs cute friendship*

Lexie is kinda hilarious fun. Does she kill people? I hope she doesn't kill people.

And the show immediately answers my question. Thank you, show.

From her reaction to Elena, I'm guessing that Lexie knows what Katherine looks like.

They killed Lexie! Well, Damon set her up and then killed her! That is cold, man. And... probably an effective way of getting the local vampire hunters not only off his trail but also to trust him. It's... a pretty good diabolical plan. But, man. I liked Lexie.

The Matt and Caroline stuff is all snuggly and adorable. Matt is made entirely of puppy cuddles, I have decided.

You know, I don't think Damon is going to learn anything from Stefan almost killing him. I really don't.

History Repeating

This looks like it might be a Bonnie-centric episode. Awesome!

Ooo, new history teacher. Does not appear to be as much of a jerk as the last one (will he be secretly evil instead?).

Bonnie has gorgeous eyes. It kinda sucks that Bonnie confides so much in Elena and Elena doesn't confide back. I mean, I get it (Bonnie's secret is Bonnie's, while Elena's is Stefan's). It just sucks.

Great, intriguing scene with Bonnie and Damon. He is just quite the flirty and dangerous thing, isn't it?

Damon and Stefan imitating each other is pretty amusing.

Aw, that Caroline and Bonnie scene was so adorable. Caroline has just been bringing the fuzzy and cute lately.

Katherine is sealed under the remains of the old church? Man, that sounds like it would suck.

Huh, I wonder if Alaric is a vampire. He has a fancy ring and he looked... hesitant at the threshold.

So, Emily destroyed the way of bringing Katherine (and the others) back and now Stefan and Damon are going to leave.

*glances up at the title of the series*

Why do I somehow doubt that that's going to stick?

Eeep! Logan. Killed by a vampire Logan. Who is likely a vampire now.

The Turning Point

Ha, Damon and Stefan on The Amazing Race. That sounds awesome.

And Logan is providing a very clear lesson on how becoming a vampire is a lot like going insane. Wow.

"No, I am not okay. I was ambushed. I was shot. Now I'm vengeful."

Damon is such a fun character.

Man, poor Caroline. All the vampires seem to take advantage of her.

So, Alaric is a vampire hunter that actually has a clue and some experience! Nifty.

Elena finally learns that she looks just like Katherine and freaks out (seriously, Stefan, this is the sort of information that should be shared, preferably before sex has been had). And Elena took off the pendant (no, girl, don't) and also possibly just hit a vampire on the road. Not good all around, really.

And now I need to sleep. This show does love its cliffhangers, though.

This show does love its cliffhangers. OH YES.

Flirty and dangerous are very good descriptions of Damon, yes they are.

*nods* I agree, Damon is in so many ways batshit crazy, but when it comes to family, he is absolutely SERIOUS in how much he will do to protect Stefan, and Elena is the same way about Jeremy. I love that they have that in common.

Damon has diabolical plans. He does own this fact. *g*

As someone who was obsessed with the books at the age of 12, I would NOT really recommend reading them. I think the show is actually way more awesome and the books would be kinda a let-down. They don't take things as far as the show. Damon is not the cold killer in the books. Elena is not as smart and awesome. The books have their strong points, i.e. certain plot details that I don't want to talk about because I think the show will probably go there eventually.
