Hello guys I have a lot to catch up on so let´s start with the season 5 premiere of "The Vampire Diaries":

Ok lets recap the season 4 finale real quick....Elena and Damon are (finally) ready to take things to the next level, Kathrine got the cure (she was forced to take it), Silas is a doppelganger too: Stefans!, Bonnie is dead, Jeremy is alive and can see Bonnie, Klaus lets Tyler come back to Mystic Falls, Matt runs off with Rebbekah and oh yes: Stefan is fighting for his life, locked up in a safe at the bottom of what seems to be a lake!

So the season 5 premiere starts with a voiceover by Elena, who is writing an E-Mail to her best friend Bonnie (little does she know, that Bonnie is dead and Jeremy is answering for her). Next we get a little glimpse of some Damon and Elena action!! Yeah, I loved that;)
Caroline and Elena are ready for college and can´t wait to be respectfull, integrated vampire college students. What can go wrong, right?!;) I loved the first scene on campus, when the two friends stand together all excited and in the next shot you see Bonnie with them saying "We are all here, together!"...so she´s there in spirit!:) By the way everyone thinks that Bonnie is on a travel adventure around the world, well I don´t think that this lie will hold for very long. So with Damon and Jeremy in Mystic Falls, Elena and Caroline in college, Stefan (maybe) dying in a safe, Silas running around drinking sherrif Forbes´blood you might ask yourself: Where is Matt? Well....he´s having a threesome with Rebbekah and another girl somewhere in eastern europe;) Who knew Matt could be so dirty.....O_o

Okay lets go back to Mystic Falls: As I mentioned earlier Jeremy is back amoungst the living and this is one of the things that let me freak out last season. I´m shure I´m not the only TVD fan who really missed the lovely Gilbert brother. So thank you Julie for bringing him back!! As every other "normal" (and yes, I know how weird this sounds...) student in Mystic Falls it´s time to go back to school. Hmm a little hard if everyone went to your memorial......so what to do? Duhhhhh you just tell everyone that you faked your own death because of some family trouble at home. Shure in a town like Mystic Falls people believe this instantly:) So back in highschool Jer immediately gets in trouble with some bullies. Little do these guys know that they are messing with a vampire hunter: So they get beat up by Jeremy! Go Jer!!!! He gets expelled and Damon gives him a tounge-lashing. I loved it how Damon talks to him and you can almost read his thoughts. It was so funny to see the badboy trying to be one of the good ones and Jeremy beeing all confused;)

Okay what else....?Well you may think about Kathrine and what she is up to. You remember this all controlled, fierce, over self confident woman?! She is GONE. Before she makes her way to the Salvatore mansion we see her looking awful wandering around town scared like a chicken with its head cut off. Once with Damon she asks him to help/ protect her, because she has a lot of enemies, who will try to kill her once they find out that she is not immortal anymore. Yeah, Kat and asking for help....HILARIOUS! Smart Damon does, what every good vampire would do to help a scared human: He offers to turn her! But turns out she has some anxiety that she might not come back "to life" and so that´s not an option;) Damon leaves and Kat goes and takes a bath. Stefan aka. Silas pays her a visit while she is in the tub....and the second she realizes its not her second favourite Salvatore, Silas tries to drown her. She can escape (well, mainly because Sialas is an old fashioned immortal that doesn´t like to use any fancy new things like compulsion or speed) and so Damon has a mini stand off with Silas in the living room.
They talk for a while and during this chat it turns out Silas needs Kathrine back and just if she comes back to the mansion he will tell Damon why. So he calls Jeremy, who has Kat and tells him turn around and come back. When Jer says no (because before he left Damon told him to not tell him where he takes Kat and not to come back to the house), we hear the best line of the episode: "You choose NOW to listen to what I´m saying?!" in Damons typical sarcastic tone:)

Okay lets check what Elena and Caroline are up to: Well, they found out that there is a third rommie in their dorm, so no vampire living arrangement. It turns out the girl is kind of weird: When Caroline drinks the girls energy drink, she almost kills herself with vervain! Whats going on?Why would a totally normal college girl have a vervain drink??Does she know, that Caroline and Elena are vampires? Theses are the exact questions that those to freshmen are asking themselves.....but they decide to act normal...and what do normal college kids do: PARTY!!! Thank god that there was a hottie  (Jesse) who invited them to a party;) As they want to enter the house where the party is at, they see themselve challenged, because they can´t enter the house (yeah...it´s hard to be a vampire;) ).

So the 2 totally normal college girls end up just waiting outside and Caroline plotting an abduction of their roommate to see what she´s up to. Speaking of roomie: She calls right this second and sounds like she´s beeing chased! A minute later she "falls out of the sky" and lands right infront of the two friends! Well thats awkward!! You can see an obvious bite mark on her neck, so there must have been another vampire at the party. Please let it be Jesse...he could bite me a-n-y-t-i-m-e!!;)
So as you can imagine Caroline and Elena are kind of wondering whats going on and are even more confused, when the security lady tells them that they found a note and that this was a suicide! What?! THIS as suicide? THERE WAS A BITEMARK!! The two head back to their dorm and notice that someone broke in and stole their roommates tablet (so this is where the note came from!). Good thing that Caroline snatched her cell....as Elena looks at some pictures on the rommates phone she finds a picture of the girl with her dad. What in the world does that mean? My first thought: Half-sister alarrrrm! I would actually like that, but sadly there cant be any sister bonding time....or at least there cant be for now. After all we know whats possible in Mystic Falls and the area surrounding it;)

We haven´t talked about Tyler yet, right? Well this is mainly because 1) I did not like the fact that he will be back at all, because I´m SO team Klaroline!! and 2) Who needs werewolfs? So in the beginning o the episode we learn, that he´s up in the mountains again rescueing werewolfs and that he will maybe join Caroline later. But he isn´t even enrolled yet. Dude, really?! You finally have the chance to be free from Klaus and to be with your girlfriend and you choose some werewolfs you find in the Alps?! Whats wrong with you? Thats not all: Towards the end of the episode Caroline listens to a voicemail by Tyler. He basically tells her that he wont be coming anytime soon and I think he even broke up with her. Poor Caroline, she doesnt deserve this at all. I was so hoping for Klaus to pop up and comfort her.....that would have been amazing! Well maybe he just waits for Tyler to finally come back and then he will kick his a*** ;)Thats a thing Klaus would do right ?

Ok remember how I mentioned, that back in Mystic Falls Damon told Jeremy to turn around and bring Kat back to the mansion? Well Jer listens to his "buddy";) and turns the car.....Kathrine doesnt really like the idea and crashes the car into a lamp post. She walks away with a few bruises and Jer is lying on the street dying. Damon, who was already wondering what was taking them so long, shows up and SAFES Jeremies life. Yes guys, you read correctly: He safes him for a change;) A few minutes later he talks to his girlfriend (okay its still very new, so let me remind you: Damon+Elena=<3 ;) ) but he doesnt tell her about the craziness thats going on in her hometown. I love how he tries to let her have a normal college experience, well if only he knew how NOT normal things are up where Elena is.

We havent heard from Silas in a while right? So lets check out what he is up to. He´s interrupting a speech by Mr. Bennet at the Townsquare festival, how rude!;) He then goes on informing them about his psychic talent and that he started by "brainwashing" just one person at a time but because he drank so much blood over the last few weeks, he now can compel a whole townsquare. Oh oh, that is not good!! So first he tells the crowd to shut up and of course they do it, after this he tells them to "not move a muscle", this works, too. And to check his power he cuts the mayors throat. Poor ghost Bonnie has to watch all of these events and rushes to her dying fathers side as he takes his final breath. I felt so bad for her....there was nothing she could have done to prevent those things from happening, cause all her witch power is gone, now that she is dead. I just hope, that she can meet her father again, like she did with her grannie.
So we know what Elena, Caroline, Taylor, Matt, Damon (:) ), Jeremy, Bonnie and even Rebbekah are up to, but what happened to Stefan? Well he´s still stuck in the safe....and his vampire life is dangling on a string! He seems to be in and out of conciousness and when he´s out we see him daydreaming or hallucinating that he´s with Damon, who tells him to shut off his humanity, so that he does not have to feel the pain anymore. In another sequenze we see him with Elena, who tells him to hold on to his human side and his feelings......so really nothing new there;) At the end of the episode we dont know whats going to happen to Stefan and if his humanity is now on or off. So we have to wait a week to see how this plays out!

Another new development in Mystic Falls: Berfore the whole Silas thing goes down on the square Matt can not trust his eyes when he spots the crazy eastern europan threesome girl (Nadia) in his town...he follows her to the alley next to the Mystic Grill and every TVD fan knows at this point: Okay something freaky is about to go down! And it does...first we find out she stole from Matt and she is in this little town in Virginia to bring back Matt´s ring. Yeah right! When she puts the ring on his finger another creepy guy shows up behind Matt and holds his head. They say some kind of witchy stuff and Matts eyes turn pitch-black. He closes them and when he opens his eyes back up, the are back to normal. What did they do to the only normal guy of the gang? Is he some kind of voodoo zombie now? And are these two the new witches in town? I cant wait to see this story line to evolve:)

So all in all it was yet another great season premiere and I cant wait to watch the next episode!
