This show sucks a bitter lemon kind of way because they have recycled every freaking moment from every freaking plot line and put it into this episode.

The Vampire Diaries: Dangerous Liaisons
Mystic Falls is having yet another ball because the only way to get all these people together is to dress them up all pretty like. I admit they are pretty, but give it a break. The tuxes, and dresses, and jewels, OH MY!

Oh no (said with no enthusiasm, whatsoever). They killed Alaric (make sure you yawn after you complete that sentence). What is the point of killing this man every episode?
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The Ties That Bind
Everyone had issues. But good lord, do they all need to crop up in the same episode in a manner that caused me to leave for 15 minutes, come back, and not really have missed anything? Bonnie has Mommy issues. Caroline has Daddy issues. Elena has Stefan issues. Tyler has Klaus issues. Damon and Alaric [...]
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: Our Town
When did all these big bads stop having weaknesses? My husband had the misfortune to be home while the show was on this week. His pointing out that all these vampires walking out in the sun drew my attention to all the other issues (non-issues?) that these creatures no longer have.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The New Deal
This show has confused itself so much that it can no longer keep track of it’s own mythology. Also, anything that might make sense should be ignored or sent away because keeping it around would just be silly.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: Homecoming
There’s a lot of “daggering” (is so a word!) and talking about daggering, in this episode. Elena daggers Rebekah. Damon daggers Klaus. Klaus daggers Michael. It’s totally not as naughty as it sounds.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: Ordinary People
This was much better than last week but I think I’m over the big reveals every five seconds. The witch is my mom! GASP! Michael is my dad! SHOCK! I’m not a natural blonde!!! WHAT?!
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: Ghost World
Mystic Falls should stop having town events because people always die. I wonder what the population of this place was before the Salvatore brothers showed up. Significantly higher, that’s for damn sure.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: Smells Like Teen Spirit
On a high note, Elena is pissed and not gonna take it any more. She’s Buffy in training and by the end of the episode.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The Reckoning
If my kids went to this high school, we would have moved a long time ago. They have a huge body count for such a little town.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: Disturbing Behavior
This show has a habit of torturing people. So far this year it’s been Caroline, Stefan, and me.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The End of the Affair
I am digging the fact that Stefan is no longer angsty and filled self-loathing over all the things he’s done in his horrible past. Instead, we get to see how awesomely murderous he was and just how much Klaus/Nick admires him.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The Hybrid
Today I’m focusing on the overly mature teenage girl and her love for a mass murdering vampire(s). What is Elena’s appeal to all things fanged? She’s like catnip for vampires. She’s vampire nip.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: The Birthday
Way back when, Stefan was known as the Ripper. I’m hoping he eats Elena while he’s evil because that’s what vampires should do.
Full Story »I Procreated So Someone Would Watch Star Wars With Me
My husband was a lost cause. I knew it going in despite trying desperately to change him. I knew my energy was better spent on other causes, like coloring and playing Legos.
Full Story »Books: The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi
The Quantum Thief is a story about a thief, as the title would suggest, who has broken from prison to steal something in return for his freedom. In the world created in this book, you never die, only run out of time and move on to the next place, until you serve your time and return to “life” again. Information is uploaded into your brain, and memories are shared, but only if someone else allows it.

I was kind of hoping that since they were screening Gone with the Wind in Mystic Falls, we’d get to see a sea of bodies strewn far and wide for this finale. Alas, we did not.
