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’

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.

If there’s one thing that The Vampire Diaries does well, it’s season finales. And the episode to close out the fourth season is no exception: a dead witch, my beloved Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) brought back to life, a dead doppleganger, and a twist ending we never could have seen coming!

The Vampire Diaries review – 4×22: ‘The Walking Dead’

May 10, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Set the wind machine to maximum because Bonnie (Kat Graham) is dropping the veil and that’s not a euphemism. With only one episode of The Vampire Diaries left before the fourth season finale, it’s time to deal with this Silas problem once and for all.
