The Vampire Diaries Can’t Stick to this ‘Death’ Idea

This picture of Caroline from last night’s episode “History Repeating” of The Vampire Diaries is kind of how I felt about the entire episode. I’m not sure if I really didn’t like the episode, or if I was just in a bad mood when I watched it. It’s tricky! The major problem I have with the show is that we’re told how they’re going to be ruthless in killing people off – which is cool.

I’d actually love to watch a show where none of the main characters in promo pics lived through a season, and it was a rotating cast in a show where the plot and setting was what was most important. Anyway, the show killed off one character but they’re giving us so many fake scares that it makes me never feel invested or worried for anyone.

Last night they fake killed Bonnie and then fake turned her into a vampire (implied this for the cut to commercial, at least!) and then she was totally fine. They also brought back a character they killed off several episodes ago. I mean, this is just sloppy writing. Start killing more people off if you tell us you’re going to kill people off! Otherwise you’re just a TEASE.
