Watching The Vampire Diaries
Oh, season 6 of The Vampire Diaries hurts. And not in a good way.
I can’t believe this show used to be one of my favorite shows… Now, it’s so bad!
Well, might as well offer my commentary on season 6. Snark is the only way to get through this.
(Or alcohol…)
Spoilers ahead for people who haven’t seen season 6!
Thoughts on episode 5 of season 6:
*Vampire Ivy >>>> Human Ivy. Vampire Ivy actually has some personality and some funny lines!
*Oh my fucking God, why is everyone hating on Stefan? How can you blame him for wanting to get away from Mystic Falls? That place is a literal hellhole. And shut up, Alaric! Don’t tell a man he’s mourning for his brother the wrong way!
*And speaking of the writers’ unfair characterization of Stefan… Seriously, Stefan used to be the HERO of this story. This story used to be about the HERO trying to deal with his psycho serial killer brother. But now the psycho serial killer brother is the hero and it’s all Stefan’s fault that the psycho serial killer brother was a psycho serial killer in the first place because Stefan (rightly) told PSKB to get the hell away from him? Ugggh.
(But I admit, Stefan dumping Ivy on Caroline was a douche bag move.)
*Seriously, only on The Vampire Diaries do the writers try to get you to sympathize with a dude who killed a pregnant lady. Okay, Damon, killing your relative’s pregnant wife was the worst day of YOUR life? Way to make her death all about you, you self-absorbed prick!
*I can’t believe I used to ship Delena… In my defense, Damon wasn’t as horrendous in the first few seasons. And definitely wasn’t as annoying.
*Okay, Bonnie, Damon is better than Kai just because he feels remorse for what he did? Remorse don’t mean shit if you don’t do anything to change your lifestyle!
*I have to say Damon-less Elena is actually…tolerable.
*(when Elena gives the injured human girl her blood in episode 5): Oh my God, alert the media, ELENA CARED ABOUT SOMETHING OTHER THAN HERSELF OR DAMON!
*I have to say, Damon’s a fucking psycho dick, but I enjoy watching him with Bonnie. When they’re together, Bonnie actually has a personality and is actually a person instead of a plot device to save the rest of the self-absorbed bitches on this show.
*Tyler’s car crashes into a crowded cornfield…and his number one concern is that he might turn into a werewolf again?! UH, DUDE, HOW ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO COULD POTENTIALLY DIE BECAUSE YOU WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO TEXT AND DRIVE?!
*IT WASN’T YOUR FAULT, TYLER?! WELL, IF YOU WEREN’T CHECKING YOUR PHONE WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING, NO ONE WOULD BE DYING (in the cornfield)!
*Awwww, friendship moment for Bonnie & Damon (and ammunition for the Bamon ship).
*(when Damon gives Bonnie his blood): Oh my God, is hell freezing over? BECAUSE DAMON GAVE A SHIT ABOUT SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIMSELF!
*Bonnie the martyr…
*Holy shit, Jo can’t be compelled…
*Really, hero is your type, Elena? -_-
*Wow, Liv literally killed for Tyler.
*Stefan, you seriously have issues if you can’t live without your psycho serial killer brother. You’re taking this tortured hero (though the writers won’t call you a hero anymore) thing way too far.
I have to say this episode wasn’t terrible. But of course that’s going to change when the Delena shit starts happening again at the expense of the plot and character development and Stefan continues to (inexplicably) be Delena’s cheerleader.
But nevertheless, I will be watching.
