So, that was Season 5, huh? Well, I’m glad it was an improvement on season 4. No, I don’t give a crap about the travellers either, but I really didn’t give a crap about Silas. Immortal invulnerable baddy with no tragic/romantic backstory or hope of redemption = YAWN. At least Klaus had daddy issues and loneliness.
Also, while Nina Dobrev pulls off multiple personas with ease – Sweet Elena! Sired Elena! Switched Elena! Evil Katherine! Elena and Katherine pretending to be each other! Original Doppelganger girl who’s name never registered! Etc – Silas only ever seemed like Grumpy Old Stefan to me.
Oops, that turned into an anti-Silas rant. Sorry. No, I probably wouldn’t be complaining if there were two Ian Somerhalders on screen. And wasn’t Katherine amazing this time around? I’ll miss her, though I’ve already forgotten what happened to her mopey daughter.
Season 6 can’t come fast enough for me. I love the prospect of Alaric coming back (though given a choice I’d be 100% #TeamLexi) and all the new, angsty ways that Elena and Damon can be unrequited across the planes.
Nothing like belly-twistingly conflicted supernatural romance to get me tuning in. Speaking of, Staroline has been begging to happen for ages now so I do hope that comes to something next time. Ahem.
In the meantime, I’ve found a motherlode of Mystic Falls themed playlists on 8tracks, so I can get that gut-wrenching hormonal angst hey-i’m-17-again feeling triggered whenever I want.
