The casual reader of my blog may not know of my passion for vampires and especially the TV show, The Vampire Diaries and a crush a dark-haired blue-eyed bad boy vampire who brings a smile to my face when I think of him.  I am inspired to pen or rather type a reflection about The Vampire Diaries.  Last Thursday after six-week break saw the return of new episodes: “Know Thy Enemy” and tonight’s “The Last Dance.”

“Know Thy Enemy” was an episode which came at you with a point of view and opinion of Katherine, John, Isabel and others then as the show transpired the twists twisted the viewer again and again and again. By the end of the episode, shock, dismayed and sad describes my emotions. My POV by ten minutes into the episode how soon will they kill off Katherine and or Isabel? I was not happy with either character. But by the end of the night, I may not totally forgive either vampire but felt sorry for them, heartbroken for Elena, fearful for Alaric and dislike for Matt because of his betrayal of Caroline. A tweet to a friend described the episode as a twisted mind game.

OMG tonight’s show “The Last Dance” had so breathless and heart racing I had to watch the show a second time and honestly I could watch again but I don’t think my husband would stand for watching it with me again tonight.  The show tonight had the music, the dialog, Elena’s very cool earrings (that I want to own) and the outstanding performance by Ian Somerhalder’s demonstrating how truly selfless and ruthless that Damon is at the same time.  It times for the fans to point out his performance is Emmy nomination worthy.

I don’t know if it was the educated fan or the writer in me but the second Klaus spoke of Elijah I knew someone was going to resurrect him but only  a question of whom? The moments between Damon and Elena and Damon and Bonnie were amazing and maybe give a foreshadowing to come.  My last thoughts tonight are that The Vampire Diaries provided me a timeout on a crazy day and made me forget everything else which is sometimes very difficult.
