So y'all been enjoying yet another ****ing hiatus? I think I heard it was only going to be 1 week so it should be back tomorrow or friday or whatever day its on but still - how any TV show survives in the US is beyond me with the way they get broadcast. ****ing joke.

I started watching this show a couple weeks ago on a suggestion from a friend. Since then, ive gotten through the first season and im well into the second.
All througout, one aspect of the show has really stood out to me. Specifically, that this show has some really bizarre ideas about the morality of murder and worth of human life.
It amazes me how Damon (and to a lesser extent Caroline) goes around murdering dozens of innocent people without remorse, and yet the rest of the characters are willing to completly overlook this and see them as friends due to an occasional basic display of manners.

Sure enough it was just the one week. Turned out the latest ep was a bit of an anticlimax though.
So are they just gonna close out the whole Klaus arc with his mum coming back, spanking him on his bum for being bold, and the Originals all going away as a reunited family, happy ever after??
I know, it makes no sense whatsoever, and that doesn't really change in season 3. Innocent bystanders killed left right and centre and people just get on with things like nothing happened. Another thing that gets a bit ridiculous is the way virtually every character in the show gets 'killed' at some point, and yet continues to live through some supernatural resolution. I just kinda got used to it and can still enjoy the show for all its twists and turns.

Its not really the fact that people die that I find wierd (people dying by the dozens in a small town without suspicion is a trend that goes back to Buffy). What I find strange is that two of the main characters are essentially serial killers and everyone else seems fine with it. Damon deserved to be staked from the first episode, but instead no one (even the main characters he attempted to kill like Jeremy and Alaric) displays anything but a mild annoyance towards he fact that he murders innocent people.
That was a better episode than the last. The next stage of the Originals story might be interesting afterall. I was worried after the previous episode that it was just going to fade out into nothing.

Rebekah + Damon = hawt
Are you ****ing kidding me!
Did they just kill Rick AGAIN?! What is this South Park? "Right, how shall we off him in this weeks ep?" Thats not even a joke. He's already been killed about 3 or 4 times this season alone!

but the ring...
only protects against a supernatural death, so unless the doctor has a supernatural tie in, than this could be the end for rick!
it will probably be a fatal but not too fatal injury that will keep him alive, unless the doctor is a horrible shot and just nailed him in the shoulder or something like that.

he's got the ring
Thats not really the point. Its just getting a bit ridiculous how much they are using the ring. Its making a mockery of the whole dramatic device of killing a character off. In little over half the season how many times has there been already for that character alone - this is at least the 3rd time. How many times in the 2 seasons before?
Rick really should just get rid of the damn thing, it seems to be getting him killed quite a lot!

I wish they would just kill him off for good.
..But then witches would bring him back or somthing. But hey, they could always kill him off again. But then dead witches would bring him back or somthing.
But they could always kill him off again. But then, we would most likely learn that he was a vampire this whole time, so he wasn't permanently dead. But hey, they could just steak him in the heart. But of course we would learn that he's one of the originals and can't be killed the normal way. But hey, they could bring back some of those oak trees or whatever and steak him. But then, it would turn out that he's god or somthing...
Why doesn't anyone in this show ____ing stay dead.

This came back again. Bit of a meh episode really by the standards of this season IMO. Though at least all this killing of poor Rick isn't going without acknowledgment in the show and is actually being written to have certain consequence by the looks of it.
Not a bad episode there. Not back to the heights of earlier in the season but decent. I swear though, one more ****ing hiatus....its beyond a joke..
They need to bring back the brother full time. He is a character that is missed, but forget the 'he likes Bonnie' storyline
I still haven't watched the episodes after this season's break. got em on the DVR...might as well wait til they show the last episode this year

I think we're done with the breaks until the finale now...but aren't there only two episodes left?
I bet a million dollars that the season cliffhanger is going to be Elena and Damon sleeping together...

Guess I'll just never get used to American TV scheduling. There was something to be said for the scheduling in the UK and Ireland - they wouldn't show anything until all episodes were ready to be aired successively week after week. It would be a very rare thing if anything interrupted it. Now, I don't follow anything on TV over here anymore so it could have changed but back in the day.....
Seems inevitable at this point. I'm a Delena-shipper myself so I won't mind!
