There have been better seasons of Vampire Diaries. The season three was rock solid; non-stop amazing. I was super pumped up when Elena became a vampire but post-death Elena became whiny and obnoxious. It was the total opposite of Caroline’s vampire transformation which turned her from whiny to bad-ass. I thought the introduction the Hunter Connor would spice things up and it did for about 3 episodes then they killed him off. What a terrible waste of man candy! As much as I like Klaus, I can’t understand why he remains in Mystic Falls. All of his excuses, doppelgänger, werevamps, etc. blah, seem flimsy at best and the reasons the writers present in the plot seem strained. I am however excited to see the return of his sister, Rebekah. I can’t wait for that smackdown to happen.
The love triangle between Elena, Stephan, and Damon is getting old. It seems as if the writers are 3 episodes away from going back to the Dear Diary days of the show. The brothers need to have some self-respect and move on. They are literally pining over a girl who looks like a girl that used them both and broke their hearts. Elena is no better than Catherine at this point. I used to side with Elena but she seems like a twat now. She needs to pick one or pull a Sookie Stackhouse and break up with them both. If it turns out that Elena is a vampire fairy, I’m gonna stab someone.
Tyler Lockwood. What, zzzz? Will the death of his mom make him more interesting? Jeremy. Now he’s the hunter. Bleh. Caroline is still on top of everything and has taken on the task of pushing this godforsaken story along. Who knows what Bonnie is doing? She is the pawn of a creepy, pedophilic teacher who is teaching her to do dark magic unbeknownst to her. I smell a Willow from Buffy plot line coming and if Bonnie has to go into magic rehab, I’m gonna stab someone… and by stabbing someone I mean write mean things on my blog while I sit in my pajamas at home with my 50 imaginary cats. (The pajamas are real.)
I’d like the show to return to pace of the of season two and three because as it stands now one of my favorite show is becoming a chore to watch. I’m not happy about this at all.
Vampire Diaries airs on Thursdays 8/7c on CW and streams on cw.com and Hulu.

Your reviews are killing me. We stopped watching this a while back, so this one sounds like it got even weirder.
I was trying to keep up with several other shows you reviewed, and I hope the cancelled ones do get some sort of resolution (Last Resort, 666). I still want to stab someone over the Event and Flash Forward.
Event and FlashForward? Amateur! I am a professional masochistic television watcher. Did you go as far to watch The Cape? I could go to jail for stabbing someone over that one. I didn’t bother with the Event. FlashForward filled me with rage, I’m upset just thinking about that one. Grrr!
Heroes *head explodes*
Heroes was getting harder to like, but that still chaps my hide too. I stopped watching Fringe right after the dual universe became a regular thing, so I’m not sure if it got better or not to the end.
This final season of Fringe is brutally boring. I need to be more like you and turn my back on these shows sooner.
I thought “The Cape” had possibilities but they needed to either go much campier or a bit more stylized. It was too vanilla.
I think this season of the Vampire Diaries has been much, much better than season 3. For me the second half of season 1 and season 2 were a non-stop rollercoaster ride. Top notch story telling. I’m also not a big fan of Klaus when he doesn’t seem to have a purpose. Klaus is best when he’s super evil.
