The Vampire Diaries 116-119

Poor, poor Caroline. I want to give her a big hug. She's so incredibly sweet and awesome and yet it seems like Matt doesn't see it at all. He always turns to Elena. I mean, he did warn Caroline that he still had feelings for Elena but... Come on. That's overdoing it. Dude, your girlfriend is standing RIGHT THERE! Sheesh...

Damon and Alaric are awesome together. Yeah, they hate each other's guts - or better said, Alaric hates Damon - but they kick major ass! Like when they started working together against Uncle John, that was awesome.

Stefan and human blood - I guess it's "be careful what you wish for" for Damon in this case. But it was lovely to see him so worried about his brother. I love it when Damon turns down his snark a bit and shows real emotions, like when he went to rescue his brother or when he sat down with Elena to wait out Stefan's withdrawal. Nice.

Jeremy and Anna... I can see a train wreck coming for Anna and her mother - again. I feel actually sorry for them. And Jeremy - I'm glad that he got mad at Elena for keeping secrets from him and that he actually talked to Anna.

Tyler - what the... Seriously? Matt's your best friend, douchebag!

Bonnie - ... Yeah. Girl, don't forget who actually started the whole thing with the tomb - it was YOUR ancestor. Who then betrayed a pact with Damon. And when Damon got pissed - and can ANYBODY blame him for that? - your grandmother tried to trick him too. Stones and glass houses, babe!

Yeah, my favorite character? Caroline. My least favorite? Still Bonnie. And 3 eps to go, if I'm not mistaken.

NCIS:LA/H50

I love the promo for the NCIS:LA/H50 xover: link. Looks fantastic, so much action and humor! And the best thing? ( Spoilers! )

Really looking forward to this event!

The Vampire Diaries 120-122

You know, I really want Matt and Tyler to be friends again. They're simply sweet and carry a different bag of issues than Stefan and Damon. I mean, I know that the show is first and foremost about vampires but after a while it's nice to have a change of... issues, I guess.

Yeesh, the circumstances of Damon's change or crossover or whatever they call it in TVD... that was pretty surprising. And I do like the way Damon changed by the end of the season. The way he actually grieved for Anna, in his own way. Unfortunately, I fear that the kiss will become a major issue in S2 that will turn out pretty embarrassing for him.

I'm glad that Stefan finally admitted that he loved his brother. That was sweet. But is the whole Damon/Elena/Stefan triangle really necessary? *sigh* In the books, Damon really isn't into Elena that much, at least not in the original trilogy. Would it be so bad to actually keep Stefan and Elena as a couple with Damon as their brother and friend respectively? I know, pretty innovative but men and women actually can be friends, writers!

Bonnie. First I was bored with her. Then I disliked her. Now I literally can't stand her. Do they have betrayal in their family tree or something? First Emily. Than Bonnie's grandma. And now Bonnie. I understand her point but to betray your best friend when she asks you for help? If you don't want to help, then don't. But do NOT pretend to be a goody-two-shoes, glowing with self-righteousness, while you betray your friend. The vampires at least don't pretend to be the good guys!

And I'm done with S1. I like the show. I would prefer more horror and action and less shipping but that's just me, I guess. So, let's see how my preferences changed:

My favorite character: Damon Nope, Caroline!
My least favorite character: Bonnie - sticking with it!
My favorite couple: Matt/Caroline - sticking with it!
My least favorite couple: Stefan/Elena - sticking with it!
The character I love but everybody seems to hate: Jeremy - sticking with it!
I watch because of: Stefan and Damon Caroline, Matt and Tyler!

Not much changed :) I have S2 on DVD too but I'll take a break from the show for a bit. Too much soap gives me bubbles ;P
