THE VAMPIRES
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES . . . . A SWIMMING PARTY AND A PUZZLE THIS WEEK . .
.
I was totally
freaked out this week watching The Vampire Diaries when Elena
walked over to an older type rope swing during a swimming party which she had
initiated, and swung out and did a flip into the water and jumped. She is
always a surprisingly complex person and I did not see this coming.
Meanwhile, Damon
and Bonnie are stuck on the other side of life, which is growing more and more
curious to them as well as the audience for this season’s The Vampire Diaries
television show. It would seem that things stay much the same, although they
are in an empty town, Mystic
Falls
They were right to not trust any of this, since almost immediately when Damon
discovered a man who has hidden from them for some time, now violently attacks
Damon in a set up for a kill, with liquor bottles laced with a toxic poison
which he manages to cover Damon with.
Bonnie,
frustrated and afraid, finds her magic returning just in time, but the new
stranger is a complex person in his own right. They don’t know whether or not
to trust his complicated story meant to gain their trust which he had brutally
lost.
Meanwhile Elena
in efforts to overcome a constant state of total grief over the loss of Damon
has asked a powerful friend to help her forget all of her memories of loving
Damon. This could be working, since she has the swimming party and seems to be
enjoying it as she finds interest in a man, Liam, and is actually drawn into a
brief kiss with the man she has invited to be a possible future love interest
for her friend, Caroline.
But Caroline’s grief for Stefan is severe and
could be helped or hindered when Stefan arrives on the scene. He is caught up
with revenge and wants Enzo to pay for the murder of Stefan’s present love
interest. Things take a violent turn then, and one is suddenly aware that
these are Vampires; they have the instinct and the power they have
earned the hard way, by walking on the wild side of the Vampire life.
So suddenly, it
is serious and deadly, intriguing and begins to weave its dark and mysterious
way into the shadows of this world.
To me this
week’s show could be described with one word, “Passion.” It is an incredible
thing to see these characters come alive in this way, and it does show their
passion, longing to be normal, dedicated to their friends, wanting to “live”
life to the fullest, and they are thoroughly dedicated to this purpose in this
show.
