The Vampire Diaries "The Walking Dead": The Good, the Bad, and the Bloody

This is the last episode of The Vampire Diaries before next week's season finale, and we finally have normal Elena back.
by

This is the last episode of The Vampire Diaries before next week's season finale, and we finally have normal Elena back. Well, she's mostly back to normal, except for the bloodthirsty rage she feels toward Katherine. But the main event is when Bonnie finally "drops the veil" so she can deal with Silas and make good on her deal with Katherine. This means we get to see some old friends (Alaric!) and enemies (Kol) as they briefly visit Mystic Falls. And though the focus is on those who have died previously, someone from the main group joins their ranks.

I'm excited to see what happens in next week's finale, but this week is so huge too. I'm ready to break down the good, the bad, and the bloody after the jump!

There's some sad breakup news today, as we heard that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have reportedly split. Of course, it'll make it a little bit more interesting to see what happens with their characters on The Vampire Diaries, and their three-year relationship also has us thinking about other TV couples who've been couples on TV. From pairs we'll never forget (Seth and Summer!) to those you may not have even known were together (yes, Felicity and Ben were really an item), check out these TV couples who were together both on and off the small screen.

The Vampire Diaries "She's Come Undone": The Good, the Bad, and the Bloody

After a little trip to New Orleans for The Originals episode, we're back to Mystic Falls and all the small-town vampire drama on The Vampire Diaries.
by

After a little trip to New Orleans for The Originals episode, we're back to Mystic Falls and all the small-town vampire drama on The Vampire Diaries. We pick up where we left off, with the Salvatore brothers trying to force the humanity back into Elena. It's tough — evil Elena has a lot of resolve, but the guys bring out the big guns this week for a climax that's not only devastating fort Elena, but also shocking for me. There's still cure business and Silas issues happening, but this episode is devoted to the fight for Elena's soul.

There are only two more episodes of The Vampire Diaries this season, and it seems like this week is pointing us to a final showdown: Elena vs. Katherine. Oh yeah, and possibly every dead supernatural creature vs. everybody, if Silas gets his way. But let's deal with this week first! Get to the good, the bad, and the bloody after the jump.

Will You Watch The Vampire Diaries Spinoff?

Last week's episode of The Vampire Diaries focuses more on Klaus and his family than usual for a reason: the episode also serves as a pilot for the spinoff show, The Originals. The series has already been picked up for a full season, which is a big vote of confidence for the new show, but I'd like to know what you think of the spinoff now that we've seen the first episode. Personally, I like the New Orleans setting and the focus on Klaus and his siblings, but I have mixed feelings about the other characters we met, like Marcel and Sophie. What's your take — will you keep watching the show when it starts airing this Fall?

The Vampire Diaries "The Originals": The Good, the Bad, and the Bloody

We get a little time-out from the cure drama in Mystic Falls on this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries, and we head to New Orleans with Klaus. There's a reason there's a focus on the original vampires — this episode also serves as the pilot for spin-off The Originals. He road-trips to Louisiana for a little witch investigation but ends up running into an old friend.

Though we do get a glimpse at the Salvatore brothers and a few people back in Mystic Falls, this week is all about Klaus. There is a lot going on in the streets of New Orleans, and it ain't Mardi Gras. Ready to get to the good, the bad, and the bloody? Just keep reading.

The Vampire Diaries "Pictures of You": The Good, the Bad, and the Bloody

It's time for prom on The Vampire Diaries, and even though beloved characters have recently died and there's a threat of every dead supernatural creature coming back to life, the gang still finds time to put on some formalwear, drink punch, and boogie.

It's time for prom on The Vampire Diaries, and even though beloved characters have recently died and there's a threat of every dead supernatural creature coming back to life, the gang still finds time to put on some formalwear, drink punch, and boogie. It's fun for a prom episode, and I'm happy that most of the drama that happens this week is the kind of drama that happens at most high schools (you have no date to the dance, some other girl is wearing your dress, you don't win prom queen, etc.).

Still, this is The Vampire Diaries, so there is some blood loss, biting, and very dangerous supernatural problems. Ready to break it all down, from who slow dances with whom to who wins prom queen? Get all of the good, the bad, and the bloody after the jump.
