CW Presents: The Vampire Diaries - Part 1

[MadVillainy]

And here we go again with Damon making these stupid decisions that get other people killed and everyone just turns their heads away like nothing happened.

Yeah that whole thing/plan had me like

 

[batdude]

Wesley seems to be so over it. I can't blame him.

Yeah, I think he is only there because they let him direct a few episodes as sad as that is

Yup. Luke's death and everyone else's at the hands of Kai is his fault. But it's ok. He can make out with Elena. Wtf.

 

[Boy Scout]

Damon is officially my least favorite character. What a ****ing moron.

I actually think Elena may be worse...

 

[kvz5]

How about that Bonnie, huh? Do they even remember her?

 

[Primal Slayer]

Not until it is convenient.

 

[Boy Scout]

I actually think Elena may be worse...

They're both terrible.

How about that Bonnie, huh? Do they even remember her?

Nope. It works for me, because I don't like her, but what they're doing still qualifies as bad writing.

 

[Sawyer]

Why are people putting this on Damon? This was Tyler's fault.

And lets not act like any of us gave a s*** about Luke anyway.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Tyler wasn't the one who let him loose.

 

[Boy Scout]

Why are people putting this on Damon? This was Tyler's fault.

And Damon helped him. But you're right; Tyler's stupid too.

And lets not act like any of us gave a s*** about Luke anyway.

Oh, I definitely don't, I just hate that Damon is always allowed to get away with stupid **** just because it's expected of him.

 

[Sawyer]

Tyler wasn't the one who let him loose.

That's LITERALLY what he was doing the very moment Damon walked in on him.

And let's not forget that: A. Part of his reason for letting Kai loose was for him to help Liz (so yes, he's capable of doing something that isn't entirely in service of his relationship with Elena) and B. he had a plan to protect Jo that he didn't get the chance to divulge before Kai snapped his damn neck and kidnapped her.

There have been plenty of occasions of Damon just being a s*** who deserves the s***ting on him that we do. I honestly don't think this is one of those times.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Either way, Damon is still the one that ended up doing the deed.

 

[Sawyer]

Hate Damon all you guys want, but that thing with the chimney and the bottle of booze was badass.

Also dat Steroline kiss in the preview.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Can they just stop with this Bonnie storyline? Constant teasing, it is just annoying. Kill her or save her and bring her back.

 

[kvz5]

You're very nice to look at but OMG just die already, Enzo! Seriously.

 

[ravn0s]

now that kai is good...ish, who is going to be the baddie for the rest of the season?

 

[LordofhouseEl]

This show is ridiculous, to think I used to actually enjoy this show. And would someone please please please kill Enzo can't stand that character he just seems pointless.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It used to have somewhat of a story to tell, but now they are just throwing in random villains and writing as they go it seems.

 

[cheungcheung]

What is the official moment when this show jumped the shark? It seems like nothing ever happens in this show anymore...

 

[Primal Slayer]

Idk, seems like once they got rid of Katherine, they just lost that spark.

I personally think that after season 3 it started to drop. Which, to me, is pretty common for a lot of shows. 1st season is usually alright, 2nd season they hit their stride and get comfortable but it still feels fresh. But after that the ideas usually get worse.

I think characters, particularly the Originals overstayed their welcome, character deaths became even more of a joke, villains started to feel like copies of each other personality wise, and the story telling isnt as good.
There were still some really good moments in subsequent seasons. The "I Miss you too, buddy" scene in S4 and that one where Klaus killed all the people in the woods

Idk, seems like once they got rid of Katherine, they just lost that spark.

I actually think the opposite. Katherine dying was great to me. She was a fine character but she shouldve died a lot earlier then when she did.

 

[LordofhouseEl]

What is the official moment when this show jumped the shark? It seems like nothing ever happens in this show anymore...

When they pussfied Silas and made him irrelevant/fodder. After Klaus I thought yes they are going to smash it with another all powerful villain but Silas backstory was pathetic and the conclusion of the whole Silas arc was irrelevant even down to the doppelgänger allure. Know the have the characters just doing random crap and this season hasn't done Stefan any favors he is now one of the worst character on the show with his boring Caroline subplot. Then you have the terrible Enzo running around boring the hell out of people with his Stefan has it so good it's not fair story line.

 

[kvz5]

I remember thinking back then about how great this show is and how superior it was to True Blood. It used to be that almost every episode would end with a great cliffhanger/twist that usually only happens on season finales in other shows. In the beginning, Elena was also the anti-Bella Swan and the focus was much more on the brothers and their relationship rather than the whole love triangle crap.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Now it isn't even on the love triangle (small plus) just on Elena/Damon "Do I or Don't I love you?" "I wanna forgive and forget you" "No wait! I want to remember! Please let me remember!" "But I cant be with you" "But I can be with you!" "oh hey, it's Bonnies birthday wanna make out?"
