The Vampire Diaries review- 5×16: ‘While You Were Sleeping’

March 20, 2014 by thedude35

01.TVD515B_0676b-800x415A new doppleganger on the block, lots of magic and a crazy Elena (Nina Dobrev). Does anyone else feel that crazy Elena eased the pain of missing Katherine (also Nina Dobrev)?

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?

Besides a clever, laugh out loud title, ‘Fifty Shades of Grayson’ brings us some humour to break up the torture, death threats and broken hearts a-plenty.

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

December 6, 2013 by thedude35

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.
