The Vampire Diaries "Dangerous Liasons"

"Klaus's crush on Stefan remains my favorite part of the Vampire Diaries seasons 2 and 3. He just wants a boyfriend, you guys! All the murder is incidental! He doesn't know any other way to find love!!!"

"I want to watch a TV show about the Originals. They can live in a house and have wacky hijinx and murder the gardener or something."

The Vampire Diaries "Dangerous Liasons"

Holy hell a lot of shit went down this week, didn't it? Even for TVD. I am boggled.

The Vampire Diaries

Continues its streak of greatness! In last week's episode nearly every member of the cast died. (Some were resurrected, revived through CPR, or are vampires who can be murdered pretty freely.) This week a ghost came back, then almost immediately was banished forever. A good guy became a bad guy then became a good guy again THEN was turned evil. The bad brother is having to be the good guy and the good brother is now hilariously evil. And Caroline continues to be the greatest Caroline of all.

But here's what I really love about TVD: Elena, our heroine, on any other show would be awful. She's in love with a vampire; she believes True Love will reform him, she just wants to be a normal girl, blah blah blah, right? No. On TVD Elana gets herself into danger to lure her vampire boyfriend out.... so Ric can shoot him. Then, when he gets to be kind of snappy and snarky and rude to her, she FUCKING STABS HIM. While still being a sad teenage girl who loves her evil vampire boyfriend.

Bella Swan, eat your heart out.
