I completely agree with...Great review, as always. <br /><br />I completely agree with you that Bonnie is the least interesting character. I'm afraid, however, that we're stuck with her for the time being as it's hard to see this show without a witch. She is the 'go-to' character when the writers need a quick fix to a plot problem. Bonnie can just cast a spell and the problem is resolved. <br /><br />I hadn't thought about the Tyler bite in terms of a rape until I read your review. I went back and watched the episode again, and I see your point. What I find even more disturbing now is why Caroline would want to help him in those circumstances. Really not a good message to be sending to the young women who watch this show. <br /><br />Overall, a good not great episode until the end. I'm so glad Elijah is back. Like Billie, I much prefer watching him to Klaus.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454170781697615407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1806389434190883402012-01-26T14:22:09.604-05:002012-01-26T14:22:09.604-05:00I don't have much to add on the previous comme...I don't have much to add on the previous comments, as to the focus turning to Boonie and Tyler this week cooled down the last episode's tension, with the bridge scene and the implications of a possible new love triangle. <br />But I must confess that when Elijah emerged and asked Klas, "What have I missed?", i laughed out loud, and ever since then started making a list so that he can catch up with the recent events. I began a possible one with "Papa Original is dead for good now, and I put our barbie sister to sleep once again. Stefan has gone Stephanus. Katherine is... well or isn't anymore. You're an uncle to many despicable hybrids. The ghost witches hate me. There's a Fell ghost somewhere that may be a killer. I may be in love with Caroline and yes, I almost forgot, Damon kissed Elena".

And maybe she wanted to 'get back' at Stefan for what he said in the last episode, that he didn't care what she thought of him anymore, and kind of prove to him that she has moved on as well..<br />I don't know.. I'm probably obsessing over something unimportant ;)<br /><br />I love this show, can't wait to see more :)johannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-30869247504412979382012-01-23T17:21:50.710-05:002012-01-23T17:21:50.710-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Johannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492313547747072776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-25041994441925923592012-01-23T16:20:22.658-05:002012-01-23T16:20:22.658-05:00Johanne, I think it's that they're both ta...Johanne, I think it's that they're both taking responsibility. If Elena had said, "Damon kissed me," to Stefan, she'd be blaming Damon to her violent ex-boyfriend. With Bonnie, though, she wants to distance herself from the vampire-love while still being a bit more honest.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-21814353535336869452012-01-23T08:58:45.781-05:002012-01-23T08:58:45.781-05:00Maybe you're right, the episode was a little u...Maybe you're right, the episode was a little underwhelming the first 40 minutes, but that last scene(s) completely blew me away, and made me forget all the 'boring' stuff. <br />I was really surprised, and thrilled, to se Elijah 'alive' again, and I'm exited to see what he will do, who's side he'll be on!<br /><br />I noticed one little detail in this episode that I can't quite figure out; when Elena told Bonnie about her kiss with Damon, she said "He kissed me", but when she told Stefan, she said "I kissed Damon.."<br />Any thoughts?johannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-83131153068155789802012-01-23T05:18:22.359-05:002012-01-23T05:18:22.359-05:00I like the show, and I like reading your reviews, ...I like the show, and I like reading your reviews, but you do realize your sense of morality when it comes to this show -- and what you choose to be disgusted / offended by or not -- is totally warped, right?Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-87117276431388433932012-01-22T10:38:04.811-05:002012-01-22T10:38:04.811-05:00Julia already posted it, but here's a link to ...Julia already posted it, but here's a link to the <i>Alias</i> episode, "Tuesday."

I was actually thinking as we were watching it that Bonnie and Tyler were your two least favorite characters. I'm still mad at Tyler for biting our Caroline (go, HRG) and there didn't seem to be much emotional oomph associated with Bonnie finally meeting her mother. (My father did that, too, when I was little -- left, remarried, and had another little girl who was clearly more important to him than I was.)<br /><br />I did love the Stefan/Elena heart-to-heart-with-wood-picking scene. (Is Stefan always the one that gets horribly injured, or is it just me?) The new doctor is interesting and could be fun, and did you know she's played by Paul Wesley's wife? And I was really pleased that Elijah is back. I like him more than Klaus, although I'll admit Klaus is growing on me.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68332997332640386722012-01-22T08:56:41.345-05:002012-01-22T08:56:41.345-05:00Wonderful review Josie.

He's been seriously bugging since he was sired, and it's only gotten worse since last week. Hurting Caroline is basically the same as killing kittens as far as I'm concerned...Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278058860653997977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-79809825522864120582012-01-22T08:21:15.678-05:002012-01-22T08:21:15.678-05:00It's episode 13 of Alias season 4, where Sydne...It's episode 13 of Alias season 4, where Sydney gets buried in a coffin, while the rest of the gang is trapped at APO and Marshall has to rescue her :)<br /><br />I was also underwhelmed by this episode, but I'm happy that they seem to be focusing more on the relationship between the Salvatore brothers and also that Elijah is finally back in the game. I didn't care much for him in season 2, but now it will be interesting to see where he weighs in in the whole "kill Klaus" scenario. <br /><br />Great review!Julianoreply@blogger.com
