Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 5

Episode 5 got pretty dark, taking us deeper into the depths of the ancient curse. Klaus and company return to town, taking over the school after realizing that Stefan had been hiding the fact that Elena is still alive. Bonnie also comes home, just in time for her and Matt to walk into Klaus’ trap. He needs her to find a way around the curse so he can create more hybrids. To make sure Bonnie does as he wants, Klaus turns Tyler, giving her 20 minutes to find the answer, or Tyler dies. The problem is that Bonnie can no longer speak to the dead witches, cut out of the circle since she brought Jeremy back from the dead. But as Matt quickly reminds her… Jeremy can speak to the dead.

Problem number two, Katherine has kidnapped Jeremy for the same purpose, but with the defeat of Klaus as the goal. With a little persuasion from Damon, the ghost of Anna tells them of the one man Klaus fears… Michael, a vampire hunter that is himself a vampire.

Back at the school, unable to find Jeremy, Matt comes up with his own plan. With a weight chained to his waist, Matt jumps into the school pool, hoping that Bonnie’s CPR training is up for the task. The clock is ticking down, but not only Tyler’s life is at stake. Klaus forced Stefan to switch off his emotions, severing the only tie he still had with Elena, and when the clock reaches zero, Stefan is to feed on Elena. When zero minute comes, Matt is told by his sister that the old witch said the ganger must die. Bonnie tells Klaus, just as Stefan takes Elena as his snack.

Damon makes it back to find Klaus outside the hospital, where Elena is donating blood to the hybrid cause. Klaus was no idiot, he knew the witch hated him, and instead of killing Elena, he fed her blood to Tyler… Surprise, the transformation was successful. Damon once again confronts Klaus, and just as Klaus is about to send Damon packing from this world for the last time, Damon tells him about Michael. Klaus is gone in a blink. Damon retrieves Elena from the hospital, bringing her home. As things are getting cozy between them Stefan enters the room. Yep… Elena is once again under Stefan’s protection, only now it isn’t for love, but orders from Klaus.

The episode ends with Katherine waking Michael from where he had been entombed by a witch. Oh, did I forget to mention that Rebekah is intensely jealous of Elena, and more than willing to rip her throat out without pause.

The flow of this season seems much more intense then the last, darker, deadlier, and the cast is making the transition very well.

Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 3

Episode 3 takes us deeper into Stefan’s evil past. While Elena and Damon track Klaus and Stephen to Chicago, with a little help from Katherine, we learn that Klaus was not the first original vampire Stefan has known. The first was Rebecca, Klaus’ little sister. Not only did Stefan know her but was in love with her, and even more surprising was best friends with Klaus. All of which had been block from his memory by Klaus all those years ago, but are back now, and so is Rebecca (Claire Holt). Meanwhile Caroline is locked away being tortured by her father in an attempt to cure her craving for human blood. His idea? Reset her mind that blood equals pain. Every time she vamps-out when he sticks a bag of blood under her nose, daddy simply opens the shutters, letting the sunlight fry his little girl. After a full day Caroline is rescued by her mother and Tyler.

Elena finally gets her face-to-face with Stefan, but she doesn’t like the results. He lets her know that in no way or form will things be the same again, and to just let him go. Of course that is before he is reunited with Rebecca. This is proving to be the best season of Vamp Diaries yet, with more twists to come I am sure.

Vampire Diaries season 3 ep 2

Okay... What was Elena thinking? Who in their right mind would go into the mountains two hours before sunset, on the night of a full moon, hunting down a pack of werewolves? An idiot that's who... As I watched her and her band head up the hill side through the trees I just kept thinking "it's dumb, dumber, and dumbest."

At least we did learn that Klaus can't make his arm of hybrids, at least not yet. That was a good thing, but I have an idea when he realizes Elena is still alive he is going to put two and two together and it is going to equal Elena must die, for real this time. That should bring "The Ripper" back on the wagon again, and back at his brother's side where he belongs.

I will have more on episode 2 a little later, but that is it for now. This will be my last post until October, we are moving this weekend, and my IP company (Time Warner) doesn't have an opening for service until the first. Sucks for sure, last time it was 2 weeks, and turned into 3 weeks before we got our service. It better not happen again, you will know if it does...
