Many questions were just begging to be answered on The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 1 : Where are Bonnie and Damon? How are Elena, Stefan, Caroline and company coping with their presumed deaths? What is Alaric up to now that he’s back in the land of the living? Will Matt Donovan actually be giving anything interesting to do this fall? And what division of football is Whitmore College in? Okay, the final one may not have been a pressing issue for most viewers, but we couldn’t help but wonder considering the high school-like atmosphere of that tailgate. Chaperones? Really?!? The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Premiere Pictures 1. Tyler Attacks! Whoa there! Rage much, Tyler! This character is back in full force on The Vampire Diaries season premiere. Good luck with that, Luke. As for the answers to the other inquiries, let’s go ahead and tackle them one by one: BONNIE AND DAMON are… happily eating pancakes together every morning?!? We got a very, very quick glimpse at the pair to close the premiere and they seem to be living a normal life somewhere. They were reading the newspaper. They were acting almost like a couple. They came across as anything but two people who were sucked away when The Other Side evaporated to close The Vampire Diaries Season 5. Intriguing. CAROLINE is reacting to their presumed death by maintaining hope. She’s reading every book she can get her hands on to figure out a way to bring her friends back. JEREMY is drinking a lot, playing video games and hooking up with random girls. What a life! Umm… we mean, he’s clearly having some issues. MATT has joined some kind of Mystic Falls protection group that is led by someone named Tripp. He seems VERY interested in the supernatural. STEFAN has gone off to Savannah and is barely speaking to anyone anymore. He’s hooking up with some girl named Ivy, but appears to be using her as a means to an important end: determining a way to get Damon back. He tells Elena on the phone at one point that he’s given up hope and has said goodbye and she should do the same. But we don’t buy it. TYLER is dealing with major rage issues, barely able to contain his temper now that he’s human again, with the werewolf curse still inside of him. ALARIC “hates everything” about being a vampire. He’s having trouble dealing with the blood lust. And he’s lost his “game.” Elena’s new medical professor person tried hitting on him and Alaric totally stumbled. Ah, yes, ELENA. She’s been taking some witchy drug cooked up for her by Luke all summer because it makes her hallucinate Damon. But it also makes her really thirsty and it’s led to her attacking some humans. She realizes she has to let go. But she can’t. So she asks Alaric to compel her to forget Damon forever toward the end of the premiere. Think she’ll go through wit it? Overall, a very solid opening to The Vampire Diaries Season 6 . We caught up with every single character and we saw the effect the loss of their friends has had on them. But where are those friends?!? Go watch The Vampire Diaries online via TV Fanatic and sound off here with your take on “I’ll Remember.”
