The Vampire Diaries review – 5×08 : ‘Dead Man on Campus’

November 21, 2013 by thedude35

Well thank goodness for cliffhanger moments and sexy time with a certain hunter, since that’s what saved an otherwise mediocre episode of The Vampire Diaries.

Let’s bitch it out…

This episode marks the end of two of the dopplegangers and a recurring guest star who brought the crazy. But as death comes to Mystic Falls yet again, it also brings some life back as well.

The Vampire Diaries review – 5×06: ‘Handle With Care’

November 8, 2013 by thedude35

It took a little while, but now we’re getting somewhere – new college town means new town council hunting our team of vampires. Add to that a re-occuring third role for Nina Dobrev, and you’ve got a whole lot of whining.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Between lovers two thousand years ago, to delinquent werewolf boyfriends, to mothers and daughters, the women of The Vampire Diaries are struggling with their hurt in ‘Monster’s Ball’.

The Vampire Diaries review – 5×04: ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’

October 25, 2013 by thedude35

Who knew? Amnesia Stefan (Paul Wesley) turns out to be more entertaining than I would have ever imagined. With a walk down memory lane and another emotional funeral, ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ feels like an episode from the early days of the show.

The Vampire Diaries review – 5×03: ‘Original Sin’

October 18, 2013 by thedude35

Who knew that it would only take five seasons for the writers to explain the whole doppleganger situation? If that had been the only positive from this episode, I would’ve considered that a win. Lucky for us viewers there Is much more to enjoy in ‘Original Sin’.
