![]() Throwing Enzo and Nadia into the mix provides just the right dollop of mystery.īut that’s all prognostication about where this season might be headed, and I don’t have a great track record with guessing this show’s future. Villains are always more frightening when they’re familiar, since we know their motivations-and especially since we know so much more than Team Mystic Falls does. Juxtaposing Damon’s tortured bad boy with Katherine’s scheming minx should make for exciting TV in the second half of this season. Damon’s return to form should provide us with a nice tortured antihero: while I never loved Klaus, I see his narrative necessity now that he’s gone. I suppose it doesn’t matter, as “The Devil Inside” made some fun changes. So…was the point of Whitmore to introduce Damon’s dark past, and therefore Enzo, in order to create a scenario in which Damon returns to his bite-‘em-and-leave-‘em first-season persona? I can’t tell if TVD is in the process of resetting some of the plot points of this season (which is not unwelcome, despite the jarring effect), or if this is how the season was supposed to go. With Elena permanently (yeah, right) tucked away, it may be a while before we need to return. Are we done with Whitmore College? We saw it only briefly this week, and only so we could be re-introduced to Aaron. That’s where I’m getting confused with TVD. I just like to know where I am in the journey. I’m not saying I like to know where a show is going. Part of my love of TV may stem from the neat interplay between 44-minute episodes, 22 episodes a season, and the expected upbeats and downbeats of winter and spring finales. I don’t like Kindles because I can’t skip ahead to see where the current chapter ends I can’t feel the pages read stacking up on the left or the pages-yet-to-read on the right. That’s an approximate representation of my feelings as I tried to figure out not just how I felt about this episode (liked it) but about the shape of this season of The Vampire Diaries. Hmm…I’m really not sure if-Wow! And yet: huh. “These are the neediest people I’ve ever met.”
