The Vampire Diaries Revisted: Season 1, Episode 2: The Night of the Comet (Review)

"I met a girl. We talked. It was epic.”

That is such a quote!

I had forgotten all about that classic Vampire Diaries utterance. I feel like it could be the tagline for the whole show. It’s also probably the most teenage sentence uttered in the entire show (that and “she’s big on texting.”). It makes me buy that Stefan and Elena are actually in high school.

Honestly, that was probably the best moment of the episode for me. However, I should probably talk about what else happened.

First of all, I want to comment on how the Salvatore house is absolutely GORGEOUS. Like, it’s so fancy and rich and moody and cozy, and it all just SCREAMS vampire to me. It’s so cool. Also, like, it’s HUGE. I’m surprised Zach has been able to take care of it on his own all this time. It would take all day just to clean that massive library, and the electricity bill would not be cheap. The things you think of when you’re a grownup.

I also want to say that I feel bad for Matt. He gets a raw deal on this show. Everyone ignores him and disregards him, and he just trys to be a good guy anyway. Plus, it must really suck to have to sit and listen while two guys argue about why your sister did or did not sleep with them. I’m shocked Matt didn’t punch either of them in the face! Tyler and Jeremy both deserve it.

Vicky also takes a lot of crap in this episode. As much as I don’t really like her, being almost thrown off a roof by Damon is enough to make me feel sorry for anyone. I had forgotten how much Damon toyed with her in these first few episodes.

I also want to comment on how Bonnie was not a supportive friend to Elena in the episode. It rubbed me the wrong way that she was basically telling Elena that there was something wrong with her if she didn’t feel ready to be in a relationship. Elena has been through major trauma and life chaos, so, if she’s not ready, I think that’s fine. I mean, I know that they are going to get together because I’ve seen the show, but I just resent the pressure on Elena’s behalf.

Also, on an unrelated note, is it a rule that all vampire fiction has to mention Wuthering Heights? First it was Twilight, and now it happened with Vampire Diaries! It must be required reading for girls who date vampires.

Peaky Blinders: Season 2 Episode 5 Review

STOP EVERYTHING! Grace is back! Oh my goodness, I am over the MOON that Grace and Tommy are an item once again. And, before you tell me that this episode could have been a one night stand, let me tell you that I have seen enough TV shows to know that they did not reintroduce her character just for that. GRACE! I'm so excited. No doubt, their relationship is going to be extremely messy and complicated (because of May and her husband, etc. etc.), but I don't care. First of all, I have to comment on the fact that Tommy has some CONFIDENCE, or, maybe he just knows Grace really well. Like, his whole opening gambit with Grace to skip talking about the past was a bold move, considering she could have walked out at any moment. But, of course, he really just wants to take her out to meet movie stars. It's an interesting reunion, but also kind of sweet? I don't know. I did, however, LOVE that Tommy called Campbell to tell him that he was about to sleep with Grace. Was

Peaky Blinders: Season 4 Episode 5 Review

Where to begin?! I feel like a ton of stuff happened in this episode. I mean, a ton of stuff happens in every episode, but this one was really jam packed. Even so, I still feel like this episode was mostly set up. Everything is building up to the season four finale, which must be really incredible because I can't imagine how they're going to resolve all these plots in just one hour! First of all, I cannot tell you how glad I am that Polly didn't betray Tommy. That's a huge weight off my mind. That does not, however, negate the fact that Michael kind of betrayed Tommy, but I imagine that will be addressed later. Right now, I want to focus on how cool Tommy looked with that machine gun. That's an OG move for sure. On the other hand, I'm beginning to think that Luca is not a very good gangster. Like, he's had a million chances to kill Tommy at this point. Why is he still alive? How have they botched all of these assassination attempts so badly?? Like, the m

Game of Thrones Review: Season 6 Episode 2

Well, I think we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief now that we know that Kit Harrington (aka Jon Snow) will be gracing our screen with his flowing locks of hair and brooding expressions for many episodes to come. In all seriousness, even though I suspected that Jon would be resurrected, I wasn't completely sure because it is, after all, Game of Thrones . (I didn't want to jinx it though, so I did wear my "The North Remembers" t-shirt and paint my nails black in honor of the Night's Watch ( you can follow my nail polish escapades at my beauty blog ).) Favorite Moments: I Prefer Being an Only Child: Hands down, no questions asked, Ramsay Snow/Bolton is the best villain to grace the small screen. Like, I know he murdered his father and fed two people -- including a baby -- to dogs in this episode, but I'm almost thinking "well done -- I thought you couldn't go further, but somehow you did!" I'm almost impressed with his villainy. F
