In its follow up to the show’s 100th episode, The Vampire Diaries brings in a solid episode; if you can get past the amazing, game-changing stupidity shown by a main character. Who’s responsible?

Let’s bitch it out…

The Vampire Diaries review – 5×09: ‘The Cell’

After a season that has been surprisingly mediocre so far, ‘The Cell’ reminds me why I fell in love with this show in the first place. There’s suspense, torture, some sexual tension and surprises at every turn. What more could we ask for?

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.
