The Vampire Diaries

The moment we have been waiting for: TVD "500 Years of Solitude" (S5E11)

The 100. episode of "The Vampire Diaries" was one of the best ones I´ve seen this season. After all it gave us Klaroline shippers what we have been longing for for so long. Because, as you know I´m one of those shippers I can no longer hold it back and will start with my favourite storyline of the episode:

So a little heads up: Kathreine is dying of old age and it seems like everyone is coming back to Mystic Falls to make sure it really happens. Klaus is one of the spectators, but unlike most of the others he does not join the party in the Salvatore mansion.....he is out looking for his favourite person: Caroline. This made my heart jump the first time in the episode;) Their first encounter after this long period that they did not see each other....after all the last time those two saw each other was when Klaus let Tyler come back to Caroline after he realized that she would not follow him to New Orleans.
The look on both of their faces was just perfect:

Caroline is both surprised and happy to see him again, I just love it. So after some hesitation from her side they finally get to talk about what the fans have been waiting for what feels like forever: Caroline tells Klaus, why her and Tyler broke up....she made him choose between her and the hatred he feels over Klaus, an Tyler chose not to choose "Car" (still hate him for that...such a douche!). Klaus little "victory grin" gets me every single time ;)
The two wander around the woods for a little while, even after Caroline finds out, that Matt, who by the way was kidnapped and buried by Kathreines crazy daughter ("craziness" must run in the Petrova family). And out of the blue Klaus asks Caroline: "Would you give me the same choice?". And so it begins :) Of course she can not really answer this question and so he goes on:


And Caroline knows what he means, Klaus told her more then once that he loves her and that he wants to have a chance to be with her; Caroline on the other hand always refused to explain her feelings for him. Deep down everyone knows how she feels about him, but still Klaus wants to hear it. Of course she does want something in return for her "confession" and that´s what she gets! Klaus promises her, that if she tells him what she wants, he will leave Mystic Falls and never come back.....seriously?! How can Caroline be okay with that? I mean besides the fact, that he will leave anyways to get things in motion in New Orleans, how can she just let him go like that??
Anyways...after he "promises" her that he´ll be true to his words.....

(btw: this smirk means a lot of thinks...but definitely not what he´s saying in that moment;) *hope*)

And now it goes down.......ready people?! Cause I´m about to freak out ;)!!

The moment I´ve been waiting for ever since we saw that first spark flying. The "Klaroline" fandom made it sort of happen!! Thank you Julie Plec for a moment we won´t forget:







Okay....we need close ups...here you go people...it was just too perfect :)







 The smile on both of their faces say everything right?! I mean look how happy they are....okay and horny^^

If you ask yourself how I can freak out over such a make out session, sorry but you really have no idea how long I´ve been waiting for that scene to happen! With Elena and Damon you kind of knew it would happen at one point....but those two; well you just hoped for it but even in those last few seconds before Caroline kissed Klaus I was like: "You are better not playing us!" ;)

Ok to calm myself down and to not seem too cray cray let´s talk about what else happened in this anniversary episode;)

As I said earlier Kathreine is dying, but don´t worry this episode is not all...."ohh poor human";) It starts off with her doppelganger: Elena and Damon are not really doing that well after their break up from 5x10.....Elena gets help from her friends Caroline and Bonnie, who bring her the "break up breakfast"...cute idea, but I think Car should work on that name;) And Damon? Well he just gets wasted :P

Meanwhile Stefan tries to take care of Kat....no surprise there, she has him wrapped around her little finger again!! Damon is not so pleased, that it takes her so long to die (at the very beginning of the episode her heart stopped but she came back to live...that's just who she is....always coming back when you think you got rid of her :P), so after torturing her with some gruesome blasts from the past:
First he lets her relive the slaughter of her family, then she has some visitors......uncle John (minus his fingers), aunt Jenna and Elijah; then he is about to suffocate her with a pillow, when sherrif Forbes walks in with some medicine to numb the pain.
What´s the rest of the gang doing you ask?! Well Bonnie, Jeremy, the rescued Matt, ghost Viki, ghost Alaric <3 and Damon are drinking shots to celebrate her almost passing....kind of sarcastic but also kind of well deserved. After her hot hybrid sex session Caroline also joins them.....only to whiteness an other guest:


Are you freaking serious?! He really has the guts to come back to Mystic Falls after the stunt he pulled??!! I was surprised, that Caroline did not slap him right into his hybrid face!!!!

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you why Nadja buried Matt....well as you can imagine after just reconnecting with her mother she is not really thrilled, that she´s about to bite the dust...so she keeps Matt as leverage to take Stefan and Elena out in the woods. The two still think, that they will look for Matt, when they are lured into a cabin full of travelers...oh oh! So they are pushed into a corner and drained of their doppelganger blood...only to be set free afterwards. Weird!
At the end of the episode we find out why they needed the blood....Just when we think we are finally rid of Kathreine we realize, that she is now a passenger in Elenas body! The travelers needed the doppelganger blood to finish the spell! Sneaky, sneaky ;)
I kind of saw a twist coming, but I must say I still was surprised a little;) At least we do not have to deal with 2 pairs of doppelgangers for a while now :)







So for me personally this episode was my favourite so far....it had all you could ask for: love, hate, laughter and most of all we got to see so many faces we miss (looking at you Alaric ;)!!).

What are your thoughts on the episode? Did you love it as much as I did??

Let me know what you think! Let´s talk tv!

The Vampire Diaries - "Handle with care" (5x06)

Okay after a very busy week here it goes, sorry if I kept you waiting!

This Vampire Diaries episode was a very Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev centered episode....you will know what I mean in a minute ;)

So "Handle with care" starts of with Kathreine sitting in a diner and receiving her order.....and that girl is hungry!! Apparently she couldn´t wait to live her new human life to the fullest, thank god Silas wasn´t able to kill her, otherwise she would have missed out on all that glory that is in front of her right now :) But don´t start cheering for a changed Kathreine Pierce just yet....it turns out her second chance comes with some....well let´s call it complications for now.
Okay now that we know what Kat is up to let´s see what her Doppelganger is doing: Well she´s doing what every woman would do....cuddling on the couch with her super hot boyfriend. Loved this scene, it felt so right!! Her and Damon talk about their plan to bring Bonnie back to life and how this day in particular is a very good one and can´t be ruined by anyone.....well as you can imagine it´s not that simple. The two are interrupted in their super cute couple time by a very good-humoured Silas, who bursts into the living room ("Hello frenemies." Ha! Loved this line). You ask why this evil 2000 something year old creature is so happy? Well, for once, he´s a witch again, and he loves it.....and secondly, well I let Silas talk, because there is no better way to say it: "I finally get to die."
Okay let´s take a look at another Doppelganger, wow this really is confusing: Stefan wakes up with a tequila hangover and Quetsia aka Tessa doesn´t really help, when she tries to explain to him, that Silas is looking for an anker. An anker?! Apparently it´s an object, that Tessa used to bind to the spell when she created the other side. If her ex-hubby is able to destroy the anker, he´ll be able to destroy the other side. What an awesome story to tell someone with a massive hangover AND amnesia :)
In the meantime Silas explains the anker thing to Damon and Elena. Ms. Gilbert is getting nervous, because she sees the plan to bring her best friend back from the dead in danger.

(source: Tumblr)

All of the sudden she´s questioning Silas´s intentions....why in the world would he just help her without getting something in return?! After all, he is pure evil. Silas can´t really understand, what the problem is and even offers her to pinky-swear ;) (Oh boy, he really is in a good mood, so funny to watch!!)
Okay, now that everyone knows, that they need to find that anker and destroy it, they need to find it....apparently it´s in a storage-unit in New Jersey. And here it comes, the best line of the episode....hold on to your seats ladies and gentleman.....you ready?!

 (source: Tumblr)

A classic Damon line, loved it!! But into sarcastic Damon comes a very angry Jeremy....armed with a crossbow. He´s not very happy to see Silas, and it doesn´t help, that he´s teasing him with his love for Bonnie. Elena and Damon try to explain to Jer, that their enemy is, for once, on their side and that he will help them to bring Bonnie back. Damon tells Jeremy to put the crossbow down ("Put the damn crossbow down Pocahontas!"). Silas doesn´t want to waste any more time just talking about ankers and dying and wants to leave.....but not before stating again, that he just loves being a witch again. "I´m like a supernatural Madonna!" (him explaining that after being a witch again he feels like he´s constantly reinventing himself). So, everyone wants to leave and find the anker thing, including Elena, but Sila´s does not want her to come....Damon can´t understand, why his girlfriend (oh gosh, I just love to write that ;) )can´t come and Silas replies: "You would understand, if you would have ever been in love with someone that looked exactly like her.". Damons face after that comment is just priceless!
Oki doki, let´s head back to the cozy cabin and back to Stefan and Tessa. The evil traveler witch just can´t wait to kill her former lover and she seems to have a plan. It´s just too bad, that this plan has to wait until sundown, because apparently Silas has cast a spell on the cabin and everyone who is inside can´t leave it. Just keep that in  mind people, we´ll need it later;)
In the meantime Jer, Damon and happy-go-lucky Silas are on a road trip to NJ.

(source: Tumblr)

Speaking of road trip.....I wonder what Caroline is up to after her break up with Tyler (I can not stress enough how happy I am, that those two are over. The way that the werewolf treated his vampire girlfriend was just horrible!! Caroline deserves much better.). Well, after recognizing Kathreine, who by the way just colored her grey hair, the two try to figure out what Mr. Maxfield is up to, because he somehow found out that Elena and Caroline are vampires. We see the professor analysing some vampire blood, that seems kind of odd. In the next shot he talks to Car and a second later Kathreine pops up behind him and injects hm something.....and he´s out!
Speaking of Elena, what is she doing all alone? Of course she want to know, where Stefan is and calls him. It´s just too bad, that Tessa is the one answering the phone. She tells Stefans ex where they are and a few things, that serve only one purpose: Make Elena jealous. And it works....so surprise here;) Elena appears at the cabin and Tessa happily invites her in....remember when I told you, you should keep in mind the whole locked in the cabin spell thing.....well now you know why;) Because with Elena in the cabin it means her, Stefan and evil Tessa are stuck in the cabin.....awkward!!
At Whitmore College it´s time for Kathreine to convince the secret society people, that she´s (aka Elena) not a vampire, good thing Kat isn´t one anymore, right?!;) So she walks into the Whitmore party and goes straight for the catering! In her food rage she is interupted by Erin...who flirts her up, thinking he´s talking to Elena of course. The conversation is cut short, when Kat looses one of her teeth, while chewing on a sandwich.....what in the wold is going on???!!!
Back to Snookies backyard;) After entering the storage unit Damon and Jeremy find out, that Silas has no idea, what the anker looks like, so they have to search the entire room until they find it. While everyone is looking for that thing, Bonnie pops up and has a beautiful conversation her boyfriend. She´s worried, that Silas may not be able to help.....Jeremy gently touches her face and tells her: "Before today is over, we will know, what this feels like!" Awwww, this was such a cute scene <3
A few feed away Damon gets a call from Tessa, and she is PISSED! She tells Damon, that she needs him to kill Silas, so that he can´t find the anker, otherwise, she´ll kill Elena. Poor Damon:( You all realize, what this means, right? If they prevent Silas from finding the anker, they will not be able to have Bonnie back! And in an heartbreaking Bonnie and Jeremy scene outside the storage unit, the couple has to accept, that they will not be able to bring Bonnie back.
What´s the status on professor Maxfield? Well, after Caroline drained his blood from vervain, she compells him to tell her all about the secret society: It´s called"Augustine" and not everyone can be part of it. Most of the members come from legacies or have special talents. Also we learn, that Elena and Carolines roommate was not killed by any vampire, but by the Augustine vampire.....yeah, they are not just super secret and super creepy, they also have their very own vampire!! But before the professor can tell her, who the vampire is, the host of the Whitmore party interrupts them.
We haven´t been in the cabin for a while right....so let´s see how the awkward group is doing. Well, Stefan and Tessa started cooking and Elena is sitting on the floor, pouting. When Tessa is calling Damon, Stefan tells Elena, that he doesn´t hate her and that he´ll help her. So after sundown, he knocks Tessa down and tells his ex to run. Let´s go back a few seconds and see, what Tessa told Damon on the phone: She told him, that the travelers want Silas, so that she can give his blood, that is now the cure, to the anker. And this is when we realize, that the anker is not a thing, but a person. A person, that Silas will not be able to kill......"2000 years old, immortal, indestructible...". Holy macaroni......it´s: AMARA!!!


Yes people, Tessa aka Quetsia did not kill her.....and the minute Damon realizes it, Silas finds his true love. He feeds her some dead travelers blood and brings her back to life. After "waking up" the third Doppelganger (is it now called a Trippleganger?! I´m confused...) she has a hard time recognizing her former flame. But when she finally does and when she realises, that Silas´blood now is the cure....she cuts him with broken glass and drinks his blood. And then she comes out....crazy, confused Amara:



(source:Tumblr)

This is all very, very strange!
Speaking of strange...what´s Mr. Maxfield up to? Well it turns out he has a little chat with Kathreine.....after finding out, that the subject of the professors testing is the Augustine vampire, Ms. Pierce needs the profs help. "I think I´m dying and I need your help!". I don´t know about you guys, but I kind of like Kat as a human.....so I would hate to see her die!
Stefan and Elena come back from their really weird cabin meeting and Stef goes off to bed. Damons sound bite is so sarcastic: "Stefan Salvatore sleeps in his own bed tonight." After that side blow he brings his girlfriend up to speed: Silas seems to be M.I.A. so he´s not dead, right? And they have a new problem: Amara is way easier to kill than Silas now that she´s human and because they still want to bring back Bonnie, they all need to protect her. After Elena asks him, why he said "we need to protect her", he introduces her to Amara:

(source. Tumblr)

If this is not cray cray enough for you you should see what angry Tessa does to Stefan. We all remember, that she fried Silas´ brain and in doing so apparently also Stefan´s. Now that she´s so pissed she does the most evil thing you can imagine: She brings back his memories....but only the bad ones....Like how he killed his own father, how his own brother forced him to become a vampire, how he was suffering for years before he met Elena, who fell in love with Damon; and last but not least, how his Doppelganger stuffed him into a safe where he drowned over and over and over again. And while this was happening he was hoping, that Elena and Damon would come and look for him, but they never came......Wow, Tessa is a real b***, poor Stefan!!
I can not wait to see what´s coming up next......how will those horrible memories affect their relationship? What do you guys think what will happen?

Here is a promo for next weeks episode:




So how did you like the episode? I for myself thought it was brilliant writing and I haven´t laughed so much in a VD episode for a while. I really enjoyed it!!

Vampire Diaries - "Original Sin" (5x03)



Okay guys it´s time to go back to Mystic Falls for this week:
In the third episode of this season, titled "Original Sin" Elena and Damon are still looking for the second Salvatore brother. The episode starts of with a dream that Elena has about Stefan entering a bar and killing the bartender. So is "The Ripper" back or not.....at the beginning of the episode we really have no clue. The whole thing gets a little awkward, when we find out that Damon´s ex Katherine has had the same dream about her lover boy Stefan.......poor Damon, this must be so weird!!
Okay, so lets see how much of a warning this dream was......we see Stefan in a cabin, waking up and looking quite confused. When he sits up he sees a girl sitting at his bedside.....who the hell is this girl was my first reaction. Well whoever she is she seems to know that Stefan is a vampire, otherwise it would be a really weird situation when she gives him a blood bag to drink. She reveals that she knows Silas and that Stefan is his shadow self. Ooooookay hold on, what is going on here? You ready for this??? The girls name iiiiis: Qetsiyah! 
So one of the biggest things we learn from Qetsiyah is, that her and Silas BOTH where travelers. So is this the reason, why Silas trusts Nadia so much and wants to work with her to get Katherine?? Anyways, we also learn , that the day of their supposed wedding Qetsiyah first gets stood up at the altar and later finds out why. Okay everyone....brace yourselves:
Silas was with his "true love", named Amara; and turns out she looks like this:




Oh yes people, you see correctly; she ALSO looks just like Elena.....or more like Katherine???!! It´s all pretty confusing ;)

So as every attentive viewer of this show figured put by now, Amara is a doppelganger! As you can imagine Qetsiyah is kind of pissed when she finds Silas with this other woman and what does she do? She kills Amara!!


Alrighty after all this ancient shocker lets see how the search for Stefan is progressing:
Damon finally finds his brother and for everyone who thought there are a lot of brotherly emotions flowing over your screen, you´ll be disappointed! The lack of emotion in Damons face is kind of worrying.....but on the other hand, we all know that he´s not the overly emotional type......aw come on man, this guy is your brother!!!

Qetsiyah returns and here comes the next shocker (boy, this girl brings the drama like you wont imagine):

First we find out that she planted those dreams about Stefan.....I can only imagine the sigh of relieve that Damon is breathing right now....but let me tell you, he will not be relieved for much longer...


Here is another Qetsiyah drama: Stefan is NOT Silas´first shadow self......over the centuries versions of Elena and Stefan always found each other! Oh nooooo, does this mean no more Delena?? Damn you universe!!!!!
To be honest I´m not shure what to think of this plot twist! The eternal love story between Elena and Stefan.... I don't know! Would it be so bad for Elena and Damon to just be happy? As you may have figured out by now, I´m a Delena shipper and I´m so pissed, that apparently it´s just possible for Stefan and Elena to have a long lasting relationship??!! Why??????
That´s not all people, Silas´ex is one crazy, furious b****, she links Stefan and Silas and fries Silas´ brain, so that he´s not able to mind control people or read someone elses thoughts. Okay, this might have been the only "good" thing she did the entire episode (more about that in a minute)!

 

A few minutes later, after Damon defends his suffering brother and gets witch pitched by crazy traveler lady Qetsiyah, he has to witness Elenas reaction to finding Stefan: As you can imagine it´s very emotional.....poor Damon. So after the reunion Damon tells his girlfriend all about the doppelganger/shadow self craziness he found out about and basically that the universe screwed their chances to ever be happy. But this guy would not be the bad ass Salvsatore brother if he would not have something to say about that. He tells Elena, that he does not let anyone tell him who he should and should not love and especially not the universe. He  declares his love for her again and the cutest thing ever comes out of his mouth: "You are my life!" (melting over heeeere;) ). So everything is good again right? Of course it´s not!!! When Stefan wakes up from his crazy day he had with Qetsiyah, we learn that he has no memory about Elena or Damon!!! Oh boy...where is this whole thing going?? My first thought: I smell a Elena, Caroline, Katherine affection smack down for Stefan coming up!


Okay people, what did this episode give us besides one crazy traveler b***?!
Well first of all it gave me a little bit of a disappointment....I was actually hoping for a "Ripper" comeback but was desperately disappointed! The whole Katherine is now the cure thing was nothing that surprised me and I so do not like Matts storyline: Hello let the only normal guy in Mystic Falls just be that: NORMAL! And the possibility of Damon and Elena not being together is just killing me. One thing I did like was the new developments and stories that Qetsiyah brought along....this girl is trouble and I like it. Let´s see how the first meet up between the two ex lovers will turn out. Something tells me that it will be kind of messy ;)


What are your thoughts about the episode? What kind of trouble could be coming up? Let´s hear it people!!

Let´s talk tv!!

Vampire Diaires 5x02 "True Lies"


After Elena and Caroline starting college as "normal" students did turn out with a dead roommate, Stefan still trapped in a safe on the bottom of a waterfall, Matt being possesed by who knows what, Bonnie being dead and only talking to Jeremy who gets into fights at school, Kathreine being misrable as a human, weird witchy people running around in Mystic Falls and Silas compelling the whole town square to find "a girl that looks just like Elena Gilbert" one could may think things can´t get any weirder! Well, they can!!

The most surprising, unexpected (me freaking out) thing that happened in 5x02 "True Lies" was that we got a glimpse of a place no one, well no one living anyways, went before: "The other side". Silas "kills" Matt, not knowing that he´s wearing his ring, that will bring him back to live. On the other side his friend Bonnie is waiting for him and explaining to him what happened to his body and that he needs to find his way back to it. Also she tells him, that only people/ supernatural creatures from the other side can see him, thats when he realizes, that something isn´t right with Bonnie. In a very emotional scene Bonnie explains what happened to her and that she´s dead, had to see how her father died and that she misses all her friends. We knew from Alaric, that everytime he "died" with the ring on his finger, that he went to the other side for a while, but to actually see it was kind of weird. But I think it was nececary because that girl really needed a hug after all she had been trough. A hug, that she could actually FEEL

By the way: Great job by both Kat Graham and Zach Roerig! With this scene in mind it was even more heartbreaking to see Bonnie standing there all alone, when Matt woke up.

Ok, what went on at Whitemore College while Matt died? Only the most understated joke ever: After Elena´s and Caroline´s ex-roommates (yes people her life was so short, I already forgot her name;) )death the campus is still in shock an mourning. Caroline thinks, that "College students are SO dramatic.". Really, CAROLINE of all people thinks that? I was lying on the floor laughing my soul out when I heard her say that. The number one drama queen is jealous of all the attention a dead student gets;) Sarcasm, nice to see you back on tv :)
In the meantime lucky Elena gets a visit from both Salvatore brother...or just from 1 1/2?! As she´s on the phone with her boyfriend Damon she walks right into: STEFAN! Damon tries to tell her that it´s not his brother, but she already hung up the phone. After hanging out with her ex, aka. Silas for a while Damon arrives and has a chat with his "brother". They argue about a few things like, how Silas does not undestand, how Elena can be with him instead of his shadowself and the best line of the episode airs:




So thinking he won this argument Damon keeps on looking for Elena. When he finds her he tries to apologize, but she just shoves him into a chair and starts making out with him. I know at this point a lo of  Delena fans are liking what they see veeery much, but hold on to your little fan hearts, because all of this 50 shades of TVD was just a trick to tie Damon to the chair and make him week. Elena grabs a bottle of vervain filled water and forces it down her boyfriends throat. Boy, this girl is angry was my very first thought, but then she tells Damon that Silas told her to first weaken and then kill him, it´s pretty clear she´s compelled. So when a few seconds later the two find out that the compulsion only sets in, when she feels rage, Damon tells her to think about something else. Every normal person would try to think of cute animals, flowers or unicorns, but not Elena, she decides the best thing to think about now is.......PAIN! So she picks up a metal pole and drives it trough her leg. Ouch! This works for what felt 3 seconds and then the rage is back. So what does selfless Damon do?! He tells her to talk about the "dreams" she´s having about Stefan all summer long (of course Caroline told him!!). And while she talks about how she has this weird feeling, that he needs their help and that he´s trapped somewhere, suffering, the rage disappears. Poor Damon, it´s back to looking for the lost brother!! At the end of the episode they actually find the safe and when they open it, there is a dead body in it. Okay, okay of course it´s not Stefan guys, but it looks like after starving for almost 3 months, he is huuungry. That can only mean one thing: The Ripper (my fingers are twitching to write "Ripppahhhhh") is back! Yes I love Stefan as the monster we all know he is. Let´s see if Elena can bring him back this time, again;)

Speaking of college life and hot people running around looking for answers: We finally meet Dr. Wes Mexfield.





(source: Tumblr)

And, oh the girls are right! He seems to know one or two things about witches and vamps and he knew Elenas dad. I haven´t made up my mind about him yet.....maybe he´s the new Alaric or the new guy who will cause a lot of trouble.Lets wait and see.


Remember hot flyer guy Jesse....I knew him and Caroline would hit it offfff. At the end of the episode those two have a cute scene together. After angry Damon knocked him out Caroline is nursing the hot new mysterious guy from college and she learns, that there is a rumor that there is kind of a secret society that meets once a month or so a Whitmore house and that Dr. Maxfield seems to be one of them. Really?! A secret society?? I don´t know about that crap!! Anyways back to the hot scene: Jesse puts a strand of hair behind Carolines ear and looks her in the eyes.....my mind was already cheering for a kiss for (almost/maybe) single Caroline, when she suddelny says: "I have a boyfriend." Daaaaaaammmn Car!! But Jesse doesn´t seem to be that bummed and he tells her that it´s okay to still believe that things between her and Taylor will work out. Well I only believe it if I can see it!!


Back to the woods people: After Kathreine tries to run numerous times from Matt and Jeremie she finaly kind of gives up and realizes, that she´s the object that everybody wants (Silas, Damon, Matt and Jeremie):
(source:Tumblr)
She´s soooo right! As you can see in the gif, she is not really doing better as a human then she did last week. Poor girl thinks she´s dying because she can´t handle a few light flue like symptomps....yeah it´s actually really weird to see Kathreine moaning all the time. Girl, you are a human now...stop complaining!
(source: Tumblr)



So that´s basically what happened this week....I can´t wait to see Rippahhhh Stefan back in action next week. And Nadia, the gipsy...what is she up to and why does Silas like what she´s doing??
Hopefully we will get some answers next week and see some more of that hot Caroline - Jesse chemistry:)

What where your highlights? Did I forget anything?

Lets talk tv!

The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Episode 1 "I know what you did last summer"


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!
