Hi, I’m Tiffany and I’ve been recapping “Pretty Little Liars” for the past few seasons. Since PLL left a hole in my heart this fall, I thought I’d try recapping another love of mine, “The Vampire Diaries.” And since it’s a different recap, it’s a new format! Since the show left off, there’s been a four month gap…
-Elena’s pre-med now…because they’re still pretending like they go to school. Who does this show think they’re fooling? There is no way that girl can pass any class lets alone organic chem when she’s too busy watching everyone she as much as talks to die.
-ALARIC IS A VAMPIRE!!!! That is everything. And he’s a prof at Whitmore. If he weren’t the cutest history professor to walk the earth, then it would be kind of sad that he’s following old students as they get older. But he is, so it’s forgiven.
-Supernaturals can’t live in Mystic Falls anymore due to the Travelers casting a spell to ban magic from the town.
-Stefan as a mechanic is pretty sexy, which is pretty much the only thing his character should be. Good move.
-“Elena has experienced more grief than anyone I’ve ever met.” Thank you, Ms. Forbes for saying the tagline of this show.
-Caroline, the drop-out! Normally I’d say, “stay in school,” but I applaud Caroline for being the realest. If your best friend dies, your potential boo leaves town, and you can’t live in your own town because of some dumbass curse, then drop the eff out! You deserve to not be in school and deal with some BS
-Liv seems to be the new witch in town now that Bonnie’s gone but let’s hope they don’t make her the sacrificial lamb for every single thing that happens in the show. We learned our lesson last time.
– Elena is herb addict!! Of course she would find the most basic thing to help her deal with Damon being dead. I guess it allows her to talk to him or something? But now she’s pulling a Spencer Hastings and getting all drug crazy and manic. Actually, she’s more like Jessie Spano.
-And on that note, it’s all Luke’s fault so Elena’s guilting him into being her drug pusher. She’s a good friend.
-For some reason Tyler is still on the show…??? He’s become the football team’s star and has his werewolf curse on lock. And he likes crazy-eyed Liz. We care because…??? (Seriously, let me know why.)
-“When I lost my human nature, I also lost my game.” Never Alaric never. Your face makes panties drop.
-Umm, Elena went in on that poor girl she attacked on the roadside. Good thing Matt, the beating heart (literally and figuratively) of this show was there to take her to the hospital. Glad that being a volunteer good guy is working out well for him.
-That phone call between Damon and Elena was too real. Actually, it was a scene we’ve seen a lot when someone (Caroline, Jeremy, Matt, Damon, random man at a diner) tells her to move on and she says she can’t. You win a holding on Elena.
-Except, she finally tried to say goodbye to him but it wouldn’t work. Damon did some weird mind trick on her that made her feel guilty and break stained glass windows.
-I want Caroline and Stefan to happen even more than I wanted Caroline and Klaus to hook-up, which is saying a lot. Stefan come home and fulfill my wish.
-These vamps and their compelling powers. I wish someone would compel me not to eat fatty food, to exercise, and remember to shave my legs regularly but nope, those things are too simple for Elena. Does she not see how catastrophic it would be to not remember Damon? Who could forget his crazy eyes and amazing eyebrows? Exactly.
-BONNIE?!?!?! Living in dead domestic bliss with Damon?!!? Are they together?!?! Good twist, good twist.
All in all, great season 6 debut! Until next time!
