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.

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

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 – 5×02: ‘True Lies’

October 11, 2013 by thedude35

Even though it is seriously lacking in suspense, the second episode of The Vampire Diaries seems to be finding its groove and get this fifth season off to a pretty steady start.
