For any of those that have yet to
watch Thursday night’s episode of The
Vampire Diaries, entitled ‘Fifty Shades of Grayson’, this is the only
warning you will get from me before proceeding ahead. This is not a spoiler
free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
You’ve been warned.
Let me just begin this review by
stating that I am of the mind that this series has not been great since the
second season, and it has not been good since season three. Season four was
okay, but season five is shaping up to be terrible. Honestly, this episode was
awful. There was so much potential set up last week, with Enzo being on the
other table, and then he’s basically nothing in this week’s episode. And
Katherine, she is just beyond disappointing this season, with her daughter
coming into things and this whole mortality business. I almost wish it was back
to her popping in every now and again, because she is just being ruined with everything this season.
Also, what is it with, whenever
couples that are together offscreen break up, they always have to ruin that
couple and break them up onscreen? It happened on One Tree Hill with Brooke and Lucas (although I was of the mind
that he should be with Peyton, but it
was terribly written with the offscreen couple onscreen), and now it seems to
have happened here. I was so happy last season when Elena chose Damon, but they
really should have ended this series there, because there wasn’t anymore that
could be told. And now, they’ve actually got me wanting her with Stefan, the
two have far more chemistry with each other than Elena and Damon do now. It’s
bothersome that Somerhaulder and Dobrev breaking up can influence the telling
of this series so heavily.
Basically, I’m finding this series
very disappointing this year, much to the same affect as The Originals has become. Is it because the showrunner is having to
split time between the two? If that’s the case, there really should be two
showrunners. I know that my TV series idea is like my baby, there’s no way I
wouldn’t put my whole heart into taking care of it. Honestly, this season is
just such a mess. The whole Silas situation had to be resolved, and then we get
this terribly done Augustine business. What the hell is this series problem? It
used to be a pretty good series, but it hasn’t been that in a very long time. I
mean, Damon breaking up with Elena MAKES NO SENSE!
My rating: 6 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“I’m gonna barf.” – Damon remarks.
“Or he’s in front of me, imagining what my kidney would
taste like.” – Aaron tells his legal guardian.
“Well, you didn’t die, obviously.” – Stefan states,
concerning Enzo.
Okay, that’s probably going to be it for about an hour, I
have to go order my father’s Christmas gift, and thus I need to find it again. Check
back later for my reviews of Grey’s Anatomy
and Haven. By that, I am saying I am
no longer reviewing Once Upon A Time In
Wonderland, unless I get to it in a few days.
