A race to the cure? Sure, I’ll buy that. Maybe it will give this season the kick in the butt that it hasn’t had thus far…

The Vampire Diaries review – 4×09 : ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’

Let me tell you a (not-so-secret) secret about myself: I love holiday episodes of TV shows. So how does this week’s The Vampire Diaries fare on its juxtaposition of the dark and the brightly coloured lights?

Taking a break from the shocking cliffhangers of previous weeks, tonight’s episode centres more on the emotional side of things. And takes a few turns that I’m still conflicted about..

While this season might’ve taken some time to find its footing, this is the second episode in a row that feels like we’re back on track. Gasp worthy moments and a few solid plot twists round out this week’s episode. So much to discuss!
