WATCHED THE VAMPIRE DIARIES . . . . HERE IS WHAT I THOUGHT . . .
Was that Damon making pancakes with “smiley faces” on it for
Bonnie in the Season Opener? It turns out; it is basically all he can cook. But
the next week showed off some of his brother Stefan’s chef skills and there
were many other eye opening moments of surprise when I anxiously turned in to
the first shows of the season of The Vampire Diaries.
On the second week of
the new season things began to get rather deep and very scary as a descendant
of the Mystic Falls Founding Fathers shows a violent side which was very déjà vu of earlier woes these people brought
to the Vampires of this small fictional town in Virginia .
The Vampires are separated actually, with Damon and Bonnie
lost in a place beyond their own death and the people who love them and would
do anything to get them back are caught between trying to go on with some kind
of life, and doing everything in their power to bring the two back.
This world the two are stuck in has layers of mystery which
they are instantly caught up in. Meanwhile, Elena goes through the most turmoil
it would seem in ways and finally in desperation enlists the help of a former
teacher, Alaric, in hopes of banishing the tie of memories which holds her to
Damon forever. To do this, Alaric helps her seek back to poignant moments in
the relationship of Damon and Elena, and she does this with rare and beautiful glimpses
of the past dating back to her own high school days.
Meanwhile life is not the same in Mystic Falls
I enjoyed the first two episodes of this season’s The
Vampire Diaries because it captured some of the familiar threads of the
past shows and promised a new slant of intrigue and adventure and even the
Vampire power and magic which the cast of The Vampire Diaries can weave into
quite an interesting tale.
