vampire diaries

If only the title meant a Milla Jovovich cameo.

Why do witches always have amazing power, but terrible planning skills?

The performers are game, but the stories are lame.

But one thing at a time, show. This episode had enough to do. And did it pretty well.

I suppose this is a pretty existential moment for the Mystic Falls vamps after all, come to think of it.

It’s nearly Valentine’s Day, and that means Caroline throws a party.

It seems that Nadia's plan has worked by episode's end, but I can't believe Elena is gone, or that Katherine will fool anyone for very long.

This is not the way you return from a winter hiatus. It may be the way you do a 100th episode, though.

The Curse of the Campus Vampire has one interesting aspect, and that’s the involvement of Elena’s non-bio dad Grayson Gilbert.

Okay (to judge from next week’s unfortunate pun of a title), maybe this wasn’t the season of apt movie titles after all.

This show is frequently cruel to its black characters, in a very unexamined way.

Everyone gets what they wanted this episode. Which only makes you realize how messed up their desires have always been.

This is a goofy, all-over-the-place episode. Road trips. College. New Jersey warehouses. Spurned and or/dead witches. Gypsies.

It’s not even the real McGuffin they’re both after, it’s the McGuffin that leads to the other McGuffin, which is always the way with this show.

While we're not quite out of the woods as far as who's doing what to whom and why, we've taken quite a few steps in the right direction.

This is a classic VD episode, full of breakneck plot developments and whiplash changes, not to mention all the actual snapping necks.

All movie title titles this season? I’m all for it.

This is an eclectic, indefinite mix of plots with which to debut a season.

Shawn thought the Vampire Diaries season finale was perfect. What did you think?

Easily the best episode in weeks.
