Anyone that has yet to watch
tonight’s episode of The Vampire Diaries,
titled ‘Death and the Maiden’, now is your last chance to do so without
spoilers. For this is not a spoiler free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
Decent episode this week. I will
be sad to see Silas gone, because he managed to actually get interesting these
last two episodes. The last two week’s he’s been funnier than all of the other
characters, including Damon, and it sucks to see that that’s gone because it helped
make these last two weeks of this show more interesting.
Also, Bonnie’s back. For a second
there I actually thought she was going to stay dead, and I was happy about
that. But then Tessa went and saved her life in the knick of time and all I got
to do was say damnit. Really, hasn’t this character outstayed her welcome?
Sure, the only time she’s ever been interesting is the first ten episodes of
the series, and when she was with Jeremy. I guess she is with Jeremy again now,
but I’m still not liking her. Doesn’t Kat Graham have a music career she could
go work on rather than this series?
Amarra was an intriguing little
duck, and I’ll be sad to see the character go when she wasn’t given much time
on the series. A very Romeo and Juliet kind of death with her and Silas, but
this time they don’t get to be together on the other side. But when Bonnie
dies, won’t the other side disappear? A witch doesn’t live forever, although
she could keep transferring it to another afterwards. But back to Amarra, I
have to say that I loved the way Dobrev played her bat shit crazy; it was
fantastic. This is more of the Nina Dobrev that I like this week than some of
this season has been. She actually has a decent amount of talent. Although
Julie Plec trying to say that she was doing it long before Tatiana Maslany
doesn’t mean squat when Maslany is pro on Orphan
Black and differentiating her characters far better than Dobrev.
All in all, not a bad episode. I
do think it’s going to start getting back to the lameness that was the first
five episodes of the season now that Silas is gone, but who knows? I do have to
say that I enjoyed the music this week; two particular moments had their
respective songs fitting and very evocative of the scenes. Still, I’m not
feeling like this series is going to get any better any more, but so help me if
they don’t find a way to save Katherine.
My rating: 7 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“Like, literally, Medusa style.” – Silas explains to the two
strangers on the bench what happened to his true love.
“I’m sitting in a bus stop in frigging Delaware.” – Silas complains.
“You’re in Philly.” – the woman corrects him. “I’m in Philly? Oh God, that’s
even worse.” – Silas groans.
“They prefer administrative assistants now; I learned that
on the bus.” – Silas corrects Damon’s use of the word secretary.
“Now, may I be excused, scary vampire daughter?” – Katherine
asks Nadia.
“I swear there’s a sitcom in there somewhere.” – Tessa mutters
about Damon, Elena, and Stefan’s circumstances.
“Well, Silas owes me a fuse box.” – Damon states, regarding
Silas’s cutting of the power.
Okay, I’m off to watch Grey’s
Anatomy now. After that it’s The
Crazy Ones. Stick around for more.
