Holy smokin’ sun fried vampire this wee …

Holy smokin’ sun fried vampire this week’s “Vampire Diaries” was fan-flippin’-tastic! The seemingly never ending supply of teen angst almost had me throwing in the towel the first few weeks but I stuck it out. Now I’m so happy that I did. They really turned up the story.

Honestly, it was Damon that was somewhat of a saving grace for me. I guess I’m just a girl with a soft spot for the bad boy vampire. It doesn’t hurt that he gets the best dialogue and is the only source of comic relief. Dark comic relief but comic relief all the same.

Loved that Elena figured out, with some help from an old news reel, that Stefan isn’t what he appears. Finally – it was time to move this story along. From there she connects the dots Damon left behind, mostly in Caroline’s flesh, and realizes what kind of monster Damon is.

Stefan opens up to Elena about his history. Through flashbacks we see him with Damon as loving brothers, when he first lays eyes on Catherine, the love triangle that develops and that Catherine was not only a vampire but the vampire that changed him. Whoa…I really didn’t see that coming.

Meanwhile Damon has escaped, recently fed on Vicki and friends and taken sole survivor Vicki home with him for entertainment. Those were some of the best scenes. Loved watching Damon and Vicki dance their hearts out.

I was dumbstruck when Damon broke Vicki’s neck out of the blue. I really thought Vicki was going to be the show’s perpetual survivor girl. After a few minutes she begins moving again. Then it hits me. He’s turned her vampire! Uh oh. This can’t be good.

Can’t wait for my next fix.
