The Vampire Diaries Recap: Welcome to Whitmore

And… we’re off and running on The Vampire Diaries Season 5 ! Or off and killing, we should say. The premiere of this CW smash featured a pair of shocking deaths, one of a recurring character from last year and one of someone we just met. Which will have a greater impact on our heroes and heroines? And what did we learn overall from “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” Let’s run it all down below! Paul Wesley is so darn good at being bad . No offense, Stefan, but go right ahead and remain under that water for awhile. Like he did while playing the “Ripper” side of his beloved Salvatore brother, Wesley simply excels at being evil. You can just see in his eyes how much he relishes the role. Well, Bonnie’s father can’t see it. Not anymore. He’s dead. And all because Silas had to prove his wrath in order to prompt the citizens of Mystic Falls to help him track dow Katherine. But to what possible end? That’s the lingering question. Matt is The Man . He had a threesome. And one of the three people involved was Rebekah. All bow down before Matt. Bow way, way, way down. But might his sex-capades prove to be deadly? Even if he was using protecting throughout? This Nadia person showed up Stateside, gave Matt his ring back and then participated in his takedown. We ask the same thing we asked about: To what end? What does Nadia want? Delena is alive and well . We’re talking sex everything, smiles abounding, the L Word flowing. Many TVD viewers never thought they’d see the day, but it’s arrived. Damon and Elena are one very happy couple. Will it last? Let’s hope so. The series has been bogged down too often with Elena and her indecisiveness. College is stressful! All those classes. Those irritating shower scandals. Those roommates who plummet to their death from the rooftop of a frat party. I was intrigued enough by the presence of Megan and her Vervain-filled water bottle before she was killed off. But this raises a slew of questions: Who killed her? Is the campus police covering it up? And what the heck does Elena’s father have to do with all of it?!? Bonnie is a ghost and only Jeremy can communicate with her . That’s about it. Can’t say we care too much about that storyline. So we’re left wondering where Katherine ran off to… what Nadia wants… if Tyler will ever return… whether or not Jeremy and Damon can co-exist as roommate and if Stefan’s future will be filled with water and seaweed for the rest of his days. The Vampire Diaries Season 5 is off to a fast, fresh start, with a number of new, intriguing storylines to follow. Which is your favorite? And what did you think of this premiere?   So great! Pretty good Just okay Terrible! View Poll »

The Originals Recap: New Adventures in New Orleans

The CW kicked off a mighty big adventure in The Big Easy tonight. After airing a backdoor pilot during The Vampire Diaries season 4, The Originals was ordered to series and debuted (again?) tonight. And now we’re read to recap the other  fruits of Plec & Co’s labors in true THG fashion. Be sure to read the full The Originals review , too! Big Brother:  Elijah arrives in New Orleans just as the witches discover the body of Jane Anne Devereaux. He learns that Marcel, his baby brother’s former protege, has prohibited witches from practicing magic in the Quarter. He’s confused.  Medieval Times :  After saving Sophie Devereaux from two of Marcel’s henchmen and delivering a smooth “I’m Elijah. You’ve heard of me?” Sophie takes Elijah to the cemetery where Hayley and her unborn baby are hiding. He doesn’t believe it’s possible that she could be pregnant and Sophie reminds him that Klaus is no ordinary Original. Elijah mindmelds with Hayley in order to show her his family’s history. Medieval Originals! YES! Bathing Beauty : Rebekah takes the longest bath in the history of Mystic Falls. A bath so long she talks to Elijah while she’s sipping  champs in the tub and again just as she’s finishing her soak. She’s firmly not Team Klaus and doesn’t care that he might be a proud papa. Stab me once, shame on you. Stab me twice, shame on me. Baby sister learned her lesson and plans to stay far away from her brother. There Are Rules: Rules, rules, rules! Everybody’s got rules! Marcel has rules. The witches have rules. Klaus hates rules! To fight back against the (wo)man holding him down, Klaus does what Klaus does and throws a big ol’ tantrum which includes were-biting a vampire and telling Sophie to go ahead and kill Hayley and the baby. The Negotiator: Elijah brokers a deal with Marcel to get some Klausblood for his vampire solider. Marcel proves once again that he’s great with the ranty ranting. Elijah, as always, proves that he’s great at everything. Klaus agrees to help the witches. Hayley gets to live. The three of them move into a plantation home like one big happy… Back In The Box:  After learning that Elijah believes the baby will heal their family and bring them back together, always and forever just like they said, Klaus believes Elijah to be a liability and daggers him. Again. Maybe he should’ve listened to Rebekah. What did you think of the premiere of The Originals? Grade it now!   A B C D F View Poll »
