(S2: Ep 12) The Vampire Diaries: The Descent

Here we are, only 48 minutes later with the next episode. 

I now know why I don't like Julz as a werewolf. She's not a hot guy. Period. While she is pretty, and this show is full of gorgeous people, we really don't need anymore beautiful girls that make Mystic Falls look like it's full of even more Barbie dolls. Only hunky Ken doll vamps or wolves need apply.

Julz really needs to work on her fake tears. Fur real. (Oh, yes, I just did it. Pun intended!) Can vamps and/or wolves actually cry once they've been turned? I thought they couldn't. Maybe I'm getting my fandoms mixed up.

Side Track: I have a proposal for Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, and the CW head honchos. Since you insist on having super long hiatuses and a TON of commercials during each episode, please give the fans something to lessen the necessary pain of such evils. There needs to be at least one shirtless guy in every segment between commercials. That will give us something to smile about during those endless commercials. Might help even them go by faster since we'll be drooling/daydreaming. What? You think no one else would go for that idea? Hold on, I hear my phone ringing. Do you hear that? It's the sound of millions of women screaming, "LOSE THE SHIRTS! LOSE THE SHIRTS! DON'T YOU KNOW THESE DROOL WORTHY MOMENTS ARE WHAT GETS US THROUGH OUR FRIDAYS? You'd better do what we say. I happen to know a few vamps myself. We'll just leave it at that. 

Oh, Rose. :(

Oh, no. The bite is infected and it's spreading. 

Oh, Damon, look at you trying to reassure her. You are a good guy inside. Makes me like you even more. Yes, Damon, go get help from Bonnie! Or not. Sigh.

Shhh, don't say it so loud. Vamps have superhearing. She can hear you! Ugh, so all of that niceness to Rose was all just an act?! 

Werewolves look HAWT in football jerseys. 

Oh, no. Now, Tyler knows the bite kills. He'll never want to be with Caroline now. Or later on, he'll use that knowledge to try to kill one of our Salvatore boys. Sigh. I can see the drama and angst coming. 

Hi Matt. Long time no see. Take your lips off of Caroline! I am now a Caroline/Tyler aka Tyline shipper now. It also doesn't help that the writers don't have Matt taking his shirt off nearly enough. (Did I just say/type that aloud? Ha ha). 

Why is Rose laying on her back? You'd think that would hurt with where the bite is spreading? Okay, she's on her side. 

No, Elena, that is not *just* a bed. It's DAMON's bed. And Damon is definitely NOT a silk sheets kind of vamp. Unlike certain vampire emo drips from another series. That's a whole other issue.

Ooh, Rose is hallucinating. Oh, no, she can't even swallow blood. Not good. Not good! Eek I knew she was going to attack Elena (Is it terrible that a tiny part of me was rejoicing at the fact that Elena was attacked? I can't help it, sometimes Elena is annoying)!

Oh, my heart is breaking for Rose. I hate what the after effects of the werewolf bite is doing to her. So sad!

I sooo wrote down that cell number to call during the next commercial break! 919-399-2507.

Damon does care! I *knew* it. Please be a cure, please be a cure.

Julz: Bite me. 

Sunny's head: No, Damon, bite me!

Poor Rose. Are they going to drag her death out for the rest of the episode? How awful. 

Commercial. Almost hung up on the message when I heard Katherine's voice. But, I didn't, and good thing, because Damon wrapped up the message. Go ahead and call. You know you want too. Just hang on through Katherine's hard-to-understand babbling and you'll get to the good part!

Oooh, look at that niiice bookcase. I'd love to see what books the Salvatores read. Or rather, the books the set designers put on the bookshelves. Wonder if they are even real books. 

Elena, do you really think just locking the door will keep out a hallucinating vamp? Adding the chest may keep her out for another three seconds tops. 

I have a feeling Damon is going to have to kill Rose. To save Elena. Wonder if Rose's death will haunt Damon, if only a little. I think he really does care about her, even if he tries to hide it from others to protect is bad boy image. We all know he's really just a big softie inside. 

I don't want to say it, but Elena, don't listen to Rose. She's not the cute, a la Alice Cullen pixie haircut wearing, British accent talking, Rose that we know and love. At the beginning of this episode, a mere thirty minutes ago, I didn't think I'd say this, but I hope Damon puts her out of her misery soon. 

Sorry, Matt, but I'm on the Caroline/Tyler aka Tyline bandwagon now. You don't take your shirt off nearly enough. 

Uh-oh, surely Rose didn't get out. Oh, good. Here comes Damon. Do what you have to, Damon. *sad face*

Why is there a high school football game in January? Guess they are back in time on the show. No Mr. Janitor, don't go over to the girl vomiting blood behind the dumpster. DON'T DO IT. DON'T DO IT. DON'T DO--I told you not too. *shakes head*

Guess a Rose vs. Damon showdown is coming. Or perhaps Alaric will have to kill her. 

Sigh. Another commercial break. CW, please refer back to my suggestion near the beginning of this recap. Seriously. 

Upon seeing the sheriff, I had a total flashback in my  head to that heart-wrenching scene between Caroline and her Mom. 

Who are these gorgeous random people? We don't know? They must die shortly by Rose's hands--or should I say--fangs. 

Here it comes. Damon vs. Rose. Oh, she's going to ask him to kill her. Oh, Rose. :( :( 

Hmm, I wonder what that fake blood tastes like. Ketchup? Cranberry juice? A mix of ketchup and cranberry juice? (GAG)

Yes, I know. I have the attention span of a goldfish. 

Oh, no, here it comes. And Damon doesn't want Elena there to see it. He's going to have to mercy kill her. :(

Commerical. Commercial. Times like this makes me wish I had a DVR so I could fast forward through commercials. Or be watching online and only have to sit through *ahem* 2 minutes of commercials rather than five. *cough cough*

Ahh, my fav werewolf. :D

Tyler: Why would you risk it?

Caroline: *What she really wanted to say* Because deep down I secretly love you!

Sunny: Me too!

Tyler kisses her. 

Caroline: You can't do that!

Sunny: Hold the phone! Why the heck not! Forget about Matt. Matt, Schmatt.

Damon's tenderness with Rose is so beautiful. Ooh, the horses. The beautiful countryside. At least they are letting Rose go kind of peacefully. I hope. 

Damon is so sweet. I heart him. He does care about her. He can't just kill her. 

Rose's dress is pretty. I love that color blue. Kind of royal blue/periwinkleish. Gorgeous. 

Rose is also very pretty with the long hair. 

Was that Damon looking all teary-eyed. *Sniff. Sniff*

Damon: I think you'll see whoever you want to see. 

Rose: I'm not afraid anymore. 

Oh, man. 

Oh, Damon. I'm so sorry you have to do that. 

He's crying. :( Sad to see our big, tough, bad boy vamp cry. Just reinforces my belief that our vamps do have souls (well some of them anyway. Although Edward Cullen would disagree, given all his emo drippyness with the whole "No, Bella don't love me, you can't save me, I'm dead and you'll lose your soul too yada yada nonsense." Sorry, mixing my fandoms again). 

Commercials. Commercials. Commercials. 

Oh, Damon, this is why you need to get over Elena. And Katherine. They do not deserve you. Have you ever thought about Bonnie instead? Or......me? ;)

Ah, that's how they explain away to the Sheriff. 

Sigh. Female wolf Julz again. Feel free to leave town. 

No, Julz! Stop telling him those things (even if they are true). You are going to ruin my Tyline! 

Although, I can only say YES! More wolves on the way. They better be male--- and smokin' hawt. 

Aww, Damon does feel guilty. It's okay to show it the humanity we know you really still do have sometimes, Damon. Not to Elena, of course. I'll hug you!

Why hello Uncle John. I suppose we'll see you, handless now is it?

Oh, Damon, what are you doing. Wait, vampires can get drunk off of alcohol? 

Jessica kind of looks like that chick from The O.C. What was her name? Marissa I think it was. Wonder what ever happened to her. 

No, Damon, you don't have to! You are still human, albeit deep, deep inside. 

Don't do it! Don't do it! YES, good boy, Damon--NOOO. I really though he'd be able to resist. 

Preview: OMG Tyler what are you doing? Caroline is basically your ONLY friend. I hope they don't ruin Tyline!

And that's it, folks. At least since I watched this on Friday that's one less day I have to wait until the next episode! 

Catch ya on the flipside.

(S2: Ep 11) The Vampire Diaries: By The Light of The Moon Recap

So, I happen to like to watch a little show called The Vampire Diaries. A friend and I usually email our thoughts and reactions about episodes to each other. Lately, I've been typing up those emails while I watch, so it's like writing a blow-by-blow of all the action. She and my sister gets a kick out of reading them, so perhaps others will too. Or not. At least I know I'll get a kick out of re-reading them. And, with all of these ridiculously long hiatuses, now I'll be able to easily go back and re-read them to remember what the heck happened! As much as I wish that the only things I ever had to think about was the plot details of TVD, sadly, that is not the case thanks to a little thing called real life.


So I finally watched the episode where Tyler becomes a werewolf, so that I can watch last night's episode when they replay it tonight at 8pm on the CW (since they take FOREVER to put episodes up on the www.cwtv.com)

I love the Caroline/Tyler dynamic. Didn't think I would, but they grew on me. Heck, Caroline grew on me since last season. Is it weird that I like her a whole lot better since she was turned? Although, I just love that Damon calls her Vampire Barbie. 

And WOWZA, is it me or does even Jeremy Gilbert look pretty hawt? Maybe it's just been two months since the last episode and I was missing the hawtness. He has nice hands. And arms. But I digress. LOL

Side Note: I'm watching on CW online (jeez there's as many commercials as if I was watching on tv! That's kind of annoying. Usually watching shows online means LESS commercials. Less CW. Less.) 

LMAO at the look on Caroline's face when she was like, "You're not going to get naked are you?" (As I'm chanting in MY HEAD: getnaked, getnaked, getnaked!) 

I wonder if Julz is a wolf.

OMG OMG Elijah is the historical society guy Jenna said she'd help. I KNEW IT! I knew as soon as Jenna said she had to help "some person" that it would be a baddie--most likely him. Question is, even though I knew it why the heck did I jump when they showed him on screen?

Oy. More endless commercials. So annoying. Seriously, if I can leave the video player running on the laptop while I use the restroom AND get a glass of water AND wash a frying pan, the commercials are waaaay too long.

OMG thank you so much for inviting me into your home! EGAD and Elena is trapped there! He is SOOO creepy! OMG jeremy didn't even see him? !!!! He needs to work on his hunter skills.

I think Elijah looks like he could be one of the Volturi. Not sure why, he just has that "look." Maybe because he's evil and they are evil?

Mmmmm, Tyler looks hawt even in chains. 

Ooh, interesting turn of events with Elijah. I still don't like him though.

So did Bonnie and that other witch guy (what is his name) break the spell or whatever? It's been so long, I forget what the moonstone's role was. 

Awwww, poor Tyler. :(

Sigh. Another commercial.

I knew she was a wolf. She's kind of badass.

OMG TYLER. :(

I love how Caroline won't leave him. OMG OMG he broke thru the chain. NOOOOOO I was hoping he'd still remember her. :(

Gee. More commercials. Sigh. Guess they need the commercials to bring in the money to pay for the special effects of Tyler's transformation, which were not too bad. I was expecting even lamer ones, so I was kind of pleasantly surprised. Although don't think I didn't notice that he was in the shadows to make it easier to "show" the transformation. And to hide the fact that Tyler was still in his gym shorts. 

Oh, hey Rose. I like her haircut. OMG she just got bitten. Wait...it's not fatal?? At least it wasn't Tyler that bit her. I was afraid he would (I knew Rose got bitten from what my sister slipped out before I yelled at her over xmas break not to say anymore!) So did Damon kill Julz with the sword/spear (that was silver I assume)?

Oh, no. Bonnie didn't suspect what? That the moonstone is not really destroyed. Oooh, you evil witch boy! Oh, no he did not switch them out! Why didn't I see that coming? I mean, we knew his father was on the dark side. I guess I was hoping the son wouldn't be either--but now I can keep rooting against him (I didn't like him with Bonnie anyway).

Oh, snap. They are working with Elijah. Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that. *shakes fist* Curse you CW. That's what happens when you have such long hiatuses! I forget the finer details of the plot!

Good. Katherine's still stuck. 

OMG another freakin' commercial?? Or I should say, commercials. I swear that the actual clips of the episode have gotten shorter and shorter! Seriously!

Aww, Caroline and Tyler. They just might be my new favorite part of the show. Their relationship. Awwww. 

Aww, Damon saying, I'm glad the legend was false. He can't just come out and actually tell anyone he cares/loves them can he (not without erasing their thoughts or whatever afterwards). I'm glad Rose is okay too. I like her. You go Rose! 


Rose: I don't love men who love other women. *waves hand vigorously* I'll take you, Damon! Even if you are still madly in love with Elena! 


Bwhahaha, Rose with her: That doesn't mean I can't be your special friend. 


See no one can resist! I'll be your special friend too Damon! LOL LOL LOL

OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It's really going to be fatal isn't it. *sniff* *sniff* I like Rose. I think she'd be so good for Damon. NOOOOOO. There must be a way to cure her. Bonnie must be able to find a spell or something... 

Oh, man. What a way to end an episode. At least I only have 48 minutes until they replay last night's on TV. Ha ha


(Disclosure: I did not actually post this recap and the recap for Descent until after I watched Descent. There was just not enough TIME in between my viewing of the episodes.)


Catch ya on the flipside.
