The Vampire Diaries Recap/Review: Original Sin

Strap in for a crazy ride because it's 'Vampire Diaries' time! Stefan is now roaming free somewhere. We see him entering a bar and drinking from a bartender then when he goes outside he burns in the sun. Elena sees all this in a dream and then wakes up to tell Damon. At first, Damon feels awkward that Elena is having dreams about her ex-boyfriend/his baby bro but he comes around. Enter Katherine, who tells them that she is having the same dreams. Is this a doppelganger thing? Regardless, they need to find Stefan before he returns to his old ripper ways or, even worse, dies.

The Vampire Diaries Recap/Review: True Lies

In the opening of this stellar episode, Bonnie recounts to Jeremy how Silas killed her father. Sadly Bonnie cannot contact her father on the other side because her father wasn't a supernatural being. Then she tells Jeremy that they need to keep Katherine away from Silas because they can't let him succeed. Speaking of that pesky little minx, Katherine's on the run until Matt finds her and brings her to Jeremy. What happened with Matt and Nadia? Why does he seem so normal? Let's hope that we get some answers...

The Vampire Diaries: Stand By Me Recap/Review

'Stand By Me' is the saddest episode of 'The Vampire Diaries' that I've ever seen. You have to agree that in the total of it's four seasons, no episode has been as heartbreaking as this one. On the island, Elena finds Jeremy's body but sees the ring on his finger so she believes this will bring him back to life. Although, Stefan tells Damon that Jeremy was a supernatural being as he was one of the five so the ring won't bring him back to life. I remember thinking that you can tell this episode is gonna be sad from this point onwards.

The Vampire Diaries: Down the Rabbit Hole Recap/Review

Remember how I was bashing this season of 'The Vampire Diaries' last week? Disregard everything I said. Okay, not everything because I still feel like the cure storyline was drawn out too much. However, this week's episode, 'Down the Rabbit Hole', was a big payoff. This episode gets going with Damon tied up to a tree in vervain soaked ropes by that hunter dude, named Vaughn. Damon learns that Vaughn has been watching the Mystic Falls gang for a while. On the beach, Elena fills Caroline in on everything that has happened and then she asks Caroline to get the hunter's sword from Klaus so they can translate the map to find the cure. They're guessing that Shane has taken Bonnie and Jeremy to the cure so Elena and co. will use the pictures of Jeremy's tattoo to find them. Shane arrives at the well so he gives the witch the tombstone as payment for helping him. Apparently this tombstone is wanted in the witch community and has nothing to do with the cure. At Elena's house, Caroline and Tyler have found the sword so they go to Klaus for help translating because it's written in a dead language. However, Klaus doesn't want to help them. Back on the island, Elena apologizes to Stefan for getting everyone into trouble again. I'm glad that she recognizes how annoying she can be. In the woods, Vaughn explains that he wants to awaken Silas so he can use the cure to kill the immortal vamp. At the Gilbert's, Klaus helps translate because he realizes what it means: There is only one dose of the cure. This means that only one vampire can take it.

The Vampire Diaries: Into the Wild Recap/Review

This week 'The Vampire Diaries' went 'Into the Wild' as the gang was searching for the cure on some mysterious island. We pretty much start the episode on this island with no explanation as to how the gang got there. Slightly before this though, we see a flashback to one year ago when Professor Shane was running all around the island and then he found a well. In the present, they're not on the island for long but Rebekah and Elena are already fighting. I'm glad that Rebekah was included on the trip though. While that happens, Bonnie takes pictures of Jeremy's body... I mean tattoo. I bet Bonnie loves taking those pictures. Back in Mystic Falls, Tyler is on Klaus watch because Klaus is still trapped in Elena's living room. On the island, Rebekah says that Elena is the only person here who doesn't have a point. I love Rebekah's comedy. Later, everyone is out walking when Shane tells us a story: He offered his blood to the well and that allowed him to see his dead wife. We then see that there are more people on this island when somebody tries to shoot Jeremy with an arrow. This person is then killed with a hatchet.

The Vampire Diaries: A View to a Kill Recap/Review

The latest episode of 'The Vampire Diaries', 'A View to a Kill', didn't improve much quality wise. I feel a little disappointed with 'The Vampire Diaries' lately because the season started off so well and I haven't liked the past couple of episodes too much. Although, maybe I'm just being too critical. This week, Stefan begins the episode when he wakes up next to Rebekah. He tries to sneak out but Klaus stops him at the door. Klaus is here to talk to Rebekah about Kol. He wants Rebekah to give him the dagger and white ash so he can stop Kol from ruining his plans concerning the cure. But, Rebekah doesn't agree to giving the dagger to Klaus because that leaves her unprotected. So Klaus asks Stefan to help instead. At the Mystic Falls High School, Bonnie is helping set up for the decade dance, the decade this year is the 80's. I've been waiting for this show to do this decade for so long now. On the phone, Elena tells Bonnie that she wants Jeremy to kill Kol and this will be beneficial because if he kills Kol then it will kill all of Kol's bloodline. Meaning that Jeremy's mark will be finished if he just kills Kol already. After Elena explains all this, she realizes that someone has put vervain in the town's water supply when she tries to wash some dishes. Bonnie finds out that it was he newly elected daddy that has been pumping the vervain. Also, he has put a curfew on the whole town so there will be no decade dance. As Bonnie hangs up on her annoying father, Kol pops out of nowhere and tries to kill her. But she uses her expression and gets away. In the Salvatore cellar, Klaus shows up to babysit a locked up Damon while Stefan searches for Rebekah's dagger. Elena then calls Stefan about Kol trying to kill Bonnie so she lets it slip that she wants Jeremy to kill Kol. The new plan is for Stefan to find Rebekah's dagger then give it to Matt so he can dagger Rebekah with it so she won't try to kill them when Kol is dead. I don't really know if that's right because it was really long and complicated and just too much double crossing. To lure Kol into her trap, Elena calls him and says that she wants a truce.

The Vampire Diaries: Catch Me If You Can Recap/Review

'The Vampire Diaries' this week was mostly about Jeremy in an episode named 'Catch Me If You Can.' The episode starts at the bar where last week left off, Jeremy doesn't want to take part in Klaus' teaching techniques so instead Klaus has the vampires in the bar come after Matt and Jeremy. Matt trips in the woods and Jeremy helps him by fighting off the vampires. When Damon shows up to help, they say that they're going back to the lake house because it's the only place that's safe. Elena then arrives to help, it's like she can smell trouble.

The Vampire Diaries: After School Special Recap/Review

'The Vampire Diaries' (and Rebekah) returned this week with 'After School Special' an episode in which Rebekah went to extreme measures to catch up on all she had missed while she was daggered. The episode begins at Carole's memorial being held at the high school, I kinda forgot Carole was dead (R.I.P.) Tyler is pissed off with life so he walks out of the assembly while Elena spots Rebekah and follows her out into the hallway. We also learn that the new mayor of Mystic Falls is some dude named Rudie Hopkins. In the halls, Elena hears someone crying and discovers April who admits she knows that Elena is a vampire. Then very sneakily, Rebekah snaps Elena's neck, this school is mayhem. Some time later, Elena wakes up in the school library to find April and Rebekah waiting. I've missed Rebekah so much, she's a true badass. At the lake house, Damon and Matt are helping Jeremy to be the best vampire hunter/slayer ever but he's not very good at it. Back in town, Stefan gets a call from Rebekah telling him that she has kidnapped Elena and they're in the school library so Stefan calls Caroline for backup. Also, we learn that the new mayor is actually Bonnie's dad and he's trying to protect the town from all the evil. At school, Rebekah captures Stefan within a minute and Caroline under five seconds. Caroline is seriously pathetic this season, I don't even know what's wrong with her.

The Vampire Diaries: O Come, All Ye Faithful (Holiday Episode) Recap/Review

It was a Christmas themed episode of 'The Vampire Diaries' this week named 'O Come, All Ye Faithful'. I love holiday episodes and this is the first Christmas related episode that 'The Vampire Diaries' has ever done. The episode starts the morning after last episode ended, in Damon's room he and Elena talk about their relationship and the sire bond, I could warm up to a Damon/Elena relationship cause they're kinda cute together. They don't decide on breaking the bond or not as Elena gets a text from Bonnie who is at the Gilbert's lake house teaching Jeremy to not kill Elena. At Klaus', he's painting a donation to the Winter Wonderland charity event when Stefan comes over, I forgot that Klaus was an artist. Stefan tells Klaus that they need to find the cure soon so Klaus shows him the sword that he found in Italy and he also says that the sword is the key to reading the map. Meanwhile, Klaus' sired hybrids are getting real tired of him which is okay because Tyler's plan is being set into motion as Haley claims that she has found a witch to help them. Haley seems to have gotten kind of psychotic recently. The Winter Wonderland event is so beautiful and it's here that Tyler tells Caroline about Haley finding a witch to perform the body jump spell. Tyler's plan is to be buried under cement and then have the witch put Klaus in his body, Tyler would have to be buried for months so the hybrids could get away safety. Caroline hates Tyler's plan but she comes around when she sees how passionate he is about freeing the hybrids. At the Gilbert lake house, Jeremy invites Elena in and then tries to attack her but she's too quick for him. Professor Shane is also at the lake house to help with Jeremy's killer instincts. Then Caroline calls Stefan to tell him about Tyler's plan but if they plan to keep Klaus buried for several months then Stefan needs the sword. This means that Stefan must go to Klaus' house and find the sword before Tyler's plan takes action.

The Vampire Diaries: We'll Always Have Bourbon Street Recap/Review

I don't know how many more ways I can say that 'The Vampire Diaries' is amazing. It's just a show that is always improving on prior storylines and giving the audience new information. So let's just get down to it... it's the morning after Elena and Damon slept with each other. Caroline and Stefan are still freaking out about Elena being sired to Damon. Whereas, Damon and Elena are having sex again. Elena is actually really playful and cute in this scene, it's fun to see her like this because she's normally so moody. Anyway, Haley and Tyler are still trying to break Klaus' sire bond on a hybrid named Adrian and Kim (who Haley helped break the bond last week) is also helping. Kim sees the pain that Adrian's in so she sets him free but Haley gets real upset about this because she needs to break the bonds for Shane. Haley scares me ever since we found out that she's cohorts with Professor Shane. Back to Elena and Damon, she's getting ready to go to school while they try to think up a way of telling Stefan that they're together now. Although, when Elena opens the door to leave, Stefan is standing there and he sees them laughing so this basically says it all (awkward). Elena leaves anyway and Stefan talks to Damon about Elena being sired. Damon doesn't believe it at first but then Stefan tells him to ask Elena to drink out of a blood bag, if she keeps the blood down then she's obviously sired. At Mystic Falls High, Elena invites Bonnie and Caroline over to stay at the Salvatore's so they can have a slumber party. Elena then sees Damon in the halls and follows him into an empty classroom where he asks her to drink from the blood bag. She actually keeps it down meaning Elena is so sired! We then find out that Haley is breaking the sire bonds for Shane because he has information on where her parents are but she can only get this information when she can hand over twelve hybrids, Haley currently has eleven. I can't believe that this is all so Haley can find out where her parents are, isn't that what private detectives are for? Call Veronica Mars or something. Back at the Salvatore's, Damon reveals to Stefan that there was another girl sired to him in the 1940's, New Orleans and her name was Charlotte. Damon found a witch named Valerie to help break the sire bond on Charlotte so they gotta take a road trip to New Orleans.

The Vampire Diaries: My Brother's Keeper Recap/Review

Things just got more insane on 'The Vampire Diaries' this week with 'My Brother's Keeper'. I didn't think it could get more crazy but I was obviously proved wrong. This show is exactly how a TV show should be written, there should be a constant development of characters, stories etc. and the stakes should be raised. 'The Vampire Diaries' is successful in doing this and that's what makes it so enjoyable to watch each week. Rant over... We start with Stefan working-out in the woods while talking to Caroline on the phone. I love their friendship, it's gotten better over the seasons and I feel that Caroline is basically Stefan's new Lexie. Stefan tells Caroline that Elena said she has feelings for Damon which Caroline is very upset about because she's Team Stefan. As Stefan is about to leave his work-out spot, Klaus pops up to make sure that Stefan gets Jeremy to kill more vampires so they can find the cure. Sometime later, Damon catches Stefan leaving the Salvatore residence. When Damon asks Stefan where he's going Stefan reacts very moody and confesses that he and Elena broke up. Before Stefan exits, Damon says that they should find another hunter so Jeremy doesn't go off the deep end but Stefan isn't listening. At the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant, Caroline and Elena are having some girl talk about Damon and Stefan when Professor Shane interrupts, it seems that Shane is a pageant judge. Elena thinks that Shane is a little odd, it's good that they're catching on but they don't do much about it. Jeremy and Matt are also helping to set up the pageant, we learn that Matt will be Elena's date to the pageant and Jeremy will be April's (who is running for Miss Mystic Falls). Jeremy also shows us that he is now Superman strong because his hunter mark has been activated. Meanwhile, Stefan is lurking around the hospital trying to find murderers to turn into vampires and he succeeds in his mission. Back at the pageant set up, Klaus appears to remind Caroline that he was promised a date so the pageant will do fine. Caroline resists at first but then gives in. Haley and Tyler are trying to break the sire bond on another hybrid when the pageant set up is happening. Tyler then asks Haley to be his date for the pageant. At the Gilbert estate (LOL), Jeremy helps Elena put on a necklace but he's a hunter now so he strangles her with the necklace. But it was all a dream! A sweaty Jeremy wakes up with a stake and knife in hand though.

The Vampire Diaries: We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes Recap/Review

'We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes' was the name of this week's 'Vampire Diaries' and it really fit with the overall plot of the episode as Elena was pretty much going insane. Remember how Elena killed Connor last week? Well Connor has been haunting her since his death, his ghost has been appearing all over the place. When Elena can't sleep she goes downstairs to get a warm cup of milk but Connor's ghost won't leave her alone. So Elena calls out to Jeremy for help but he takes too long so Elena just stabs Connor. But Elena actually stabs Jeremy, in her mind he just looked like Connor. Poor Jeremy, this kind of stuff always happens to him. It's okay though because Jeremy was wearing his ring that brought him back to life if he died by a supernatural cause. Elena calls Damon over because she needs someone to listen to her freak out and she doesn't want Stefan to come because he lied to her. Although Stefan comes over anyway and when he goes to talk to Elena she is too angry to talk. I don't really know why Elena is so angry at Stefan, maybe I forgot something from last week. Over at Tyler's, Klaus comes over to check on things after his trip to Italy. Klaus seems to be taking everything well, I expected him to be more upset about Connor's death. Caroline then shows up to keep up with her and Tyler's faux break up, she does this by giving Tyler back some of his things while Klaus watches. Klaus leaves them alone to fight but Tyler, Caroline and Haley just laugh about how Klaus is falling for it. While this is happening, Elena takes a shower to get rid of Jeremy's blood on her hands but the shower overflows with blood. This reminded me of the scene from Teen Wolf in which Lydia was taking a shower and it looked like she was seeing things. Downstairs, Stefan is on the phone to Klaus who tells Stefan that Elena is in for trouble because she killed a hunter. It just so happens that Klaus is waiting outside Elena's house so Stefan goes out to talk to him. I forgot that Klaus has never been invited in before but that's good, they should keep it like that. Anywho, Klaus tells Stefan that because Elena killed Connor, he'll now haunt her until she kills herself. Back with Elena, she starts seeing Connor again and she runs outside to Stefan so he can help her but Klaus grabs Elena and runs away with her.
