Just started Season Two. Already, season two is a lot better than the first season. It took me all of season one to eventually enjoy Damon's character. It was in the finale where I finally understood him, where he comes from, and I saw his pain and now I really, really enjoy the character. Bonnie is still my favourite, and Katherine has instantly become one too.
The premiere was great. I'm still a bit lost as to how Katherine is back. I may have missed something in season one, or maybe it'll be explained more this season, but either way, she's great! I like how she manipulates the brothers and tries to turn them against each other. Its tragic that both Elena AND Katherine chose Stefan over Damon, but its also great that this is showing a more human side to Damon, and he's finally a 3Dimensional, REAL character.
The WORST character on this show is Tyler. I hate him so much, I'm not even show if that's his name. I don't understand why they are focusing on him a lot more. I'm just glad his scenes are cut really short and spread out so you don't have to put up with him for that long. I'm guessing he's a werewolf, because of the set up in the first season with that shot of the full moon, and that scares me because it means he'll be getting more screentime. I don't know. Maybe I'll warm up to him, similar to Damon.
Caroline just got killed. She'll become a vampire, for sure. And I think that'll make her even more interesting. I really didn't understand the fuss about her, watching the first season. But towards the end of the season, when she started dating Matt, I started to like her. And I'm excited to see how she is as a vampire.
Does it make any sense that Elena does NOTHING for me, but Katherine is so incredibly hot?! Its the same bloody actress. God, I can't wait to see more of Kat!
Anyway, the premiere was great. I'm still playing catch up for season three. I'm actually rooting for Damon and Elena to get together now. I want Bonnie and Jeremy to hook up, because they're probably my two favourite characters, and yeah. This is just an update/rant from me. To be honest, season one got pretty boring in the back half of the season, and I'm pretty sure I may have skipped an episode or two. But Season Two already looks MUCH better. As long as they keep Bonnie or Katherine around, I'll be happy.

YAY! I'm sooo glad you've decided to catch up! The Vampire Diaries is a very good show. Good characters, plots, and hello... Katherine is such a BAMF! I agree... Elena is so yuck, yet Katherine is extremely hot. It's very strange but -- hey, Nina Dobrev knows what she's doing It's awesome that you've warmed up to Damon. He's a very tortured character. I tend to like those kinds of characters the most (No, Damon is NOT my favorite character) but he's definitely not the worst. He gets better and worse in season two. He's not very consistent but, hopefully you'll appreciate his character overall Also, TYLER SUCK ASS! And he'll continue to in season two. If not more so. Gah, he's just so useless, I wish he'd die already. LOL Caroline is awesome though. Can't wait to see what you think of SEASON TWO!

Season Two looks sooooooooooo good. Watching the premiere, I had to guess that a spoiler was released saying that someone would be turned into a vampire because first there was Elena's dad who Stefan threatened, then Jeremy wanted to become a vampire and Damon killed him, and it was like *GASP* did it happen? But then at the very end it was Caroline. I love how they keep you guessing. This show is AWESOME! xD

Just finished the fourth episode. Katherine adds a new layer to the show. Its really fun to watch her manipulate everyone, and I actually felt really sorry for her at the end of episode four when we basically learn she really did love Stefan, and might still have feelings for him. I'm confused on present time Katherine, because she's great at manipulating people, so maybe she's putting on a huge act towards Stefan. I miss Bonnie Season Two is great so far. The lockwoods are still boring as batshit. I really don't care about the werewolves, and Damon was pretty dumb to try and take one of them on so soon. All he's done is form an enemy. I really hope the build up to the big werewolf vs vampire thing doesn't take forever. Its the most boring plot on the show. I would like to see more about Katherine, and see her going after Elena and her friends more. This episode just made me realise that Elena doesn't/shouldn't have a future with Stefan OR Damon. Sure, I think Damon deserves love in his life, and I think Elena might be the one to give him that, but in the end, I think Elena deserves someone normal, and someone that can give her children, and somewhat of a normal life. Unless of course, you know, the damn writers turn her into a bloody vampire.

For season three, I'm really hoping that Katherine doesn't just disappear. I would really like to see her again. Oh! And I REALLY want LUCY BENNETT back, who should have returned later in season two. I didn't really like the way they handle the last couple of episodes -- I mean, it was okay but I feel like they did this epic build up and it sort of fell short. But anyways, Lucy was amazing in "Masquerade", plus she was like -- Super HOT. lmao

^But I do agree with you; they introduced a cousin of Bonnie's... and then we never (well, not in Season Two) see her again. -.- What was the point of introducing her then, if she wasn't going to play a role later in the season with Klaus and all?

Yeah, they could have done A LOT more with her. The writers even suggested that she was going to be back when Lucy told Bonnie that she would see her again, or something in that nature. If she doesn't show up soon, I'll be very disappointed. Also, I was kind of disappointed that there was a witch fight between Bonnie and Greta They're just dissin' all the witches on that show. lmao

^Yeah, there is something seriously off with their Witches. First off, all the Witches so far have been African-American... and so far, all of them have been submissive and/or Vampires' servants. Hmmm.

Ohmygod. First off, Damon has quickly become one of my favourite characters. The problem I originally had with him in season one was that he never seemed redeemable to me. They played him off as the big bad wolf for so long that I grew to hate him. But now, he's showing he does has feelings, he wants to be human, he's in love with Elena, and in this last episode I watched ("The Descent") was such a great episode for him. I really loved Rose, and it was sad to see her go. I think she was a good match for Damon, but, with the way this show treats its recurring cast, I predicted that she'd die somewhere down the line when she made her second appearance (becoming a recurring guest star).
Secondly, I'm all for multiple plots going on in one season, and the Vampire Diaries handles it all very well. Much like Nikita, things move at a fast pace and there are plenty of twists and turns to stop you from becoming bored. But, Katherine has got to be one of the best antagonists on this show, and she could easily be one of the greatest threats of the season - why lock her away? Then, why of all things, drag out the werewolf storyline? The Lockwoods are THE most boring characters on the series. Sure, you could try pairing Tyler up with Caroline, but that only makes me complain more.
The whole 'originals' thing is a bit bleh at this point too. Elijah just gets on my nerves, and Klaus better be the shit if he's going to be the big bad in the back half of the season. There's nothing worse than building something up so much only to disappoint (for reference, I suggest watching Smallville, lol).
It does get a little bit frustrating when the episodes don't include Bonnie or Jeremy, because they really do add something to the show. Makes the universe much more larger. Elena isn't the most interesting character, and her consistant relationship with Stefan is beginning to feel like its well since past its due date. I feel really bad for Damon. Although I like the idea of Elena/Damon, purely for Damon's sake and that's who he loves, I'm not too crash hot about Elena going from Stefan to Damon, and I think that would have to be pulled off in a way that doesn't turn Stefan into a crazy ass, murdering machine.
Current List of Favourite Characters: • Bonnie Bennet • Caroline Forbes • Katherine Pierce • Jeremy Gilbert • Damon Salvatore

How much of a BAMF is Bonnie? Mate. In #18 when she goes up against Klaus, she is the motherf*ckin' boss of all bosses. Bonnie and Caroline are my absolute FAVOURITE characters!

Jack, I'll have to disagree with you about Bonnie, but I'm with you when it comes to Caroline. She is easily the best part of the series to me. Well, her and Damon anyway.
Also, AC, Chris, what are you talking about? Everybody knows that Stephan turns into a fairy and transforms Mystic Falls into Never-Land. It's like you don't even watch the show. ;D
