With the brilliance of the last several episodes of this show you’d think I’d have been more excited for it’s return. Instead of excitement, I am apathetic. Yes, that is confusing considering The Vampire Diaries is on my short list of shows I regularly watch.

Blaze of Glory and Heart of Gold: Books 1&2 of The Laws of Magic series – Review by Dawn Del Sontro – Admittedly these two books took me a while to get through. Mainly due to my life itself, but part of the blame lays squarely upon the shoulders of the first book, The Laws of Magic: Blaze of Glory.

By Dawn Del Sontro – It has come down to this. I’m not ashamed, no matter how people react when I tell them I watch shows on the CW. I’ll admit it, openly and honestly. I like the Vampire Diaries. That’s right. You read that correctly. I like it.

By Dawn Del Sontro – The title of this episode foreshadows someone doing something for the sake of saving someone else. Well in this case, it’s not someone, but almost everyone making some kind of sacrifice and most of them doing it for Elena.

By Dawn Del Sontro – As a rule, the only knowledge of a new episode that I give myself is the little tease you get from the end of the previous episode. That tease last week was enough to make me one happy girl. An episode all about Katherine? YAY! I love her. She’s so evil and that’s exactly how I like my vampires.

Even those two knew when it end it before it got stupid.

By Dawn Del Sontro – After last week’s wonderfully delicious episode I came into this week with modestly high hopes.

By Dawn Del Sontro – It’s obvious by the title that this episode is going to be flashback happy. It is. It really, really is. The fuzzy washed out scenes are a nice touch since I’m guessing that’s what pictures from that long ago would look like, too. But, what is wrong with Damon’s hair? Good lord. That’s just awful.

By Dawn Del Sontro – If you live in Mystic Falls, chances are you are some kind of supernatural being, have slept with one, are hunting one, or have been eaten by one. Perusing our list we see that lycanthropes are next for most popular choice of inhuman critters which means that they must appear on our show (see Buffy, and True Blood for examples.
