The Vampire Diaries - Season 2 [US] *Spoilers*

Haha I was wondering how you managed to miss the Jeremy coming back to life thing! Emily spoke to Stefan through Bonnie at one point but I think that was her only "appearance"

looks like you were right! - but wait!

OMG!....you're on the list next Jaxy! :eek:

:eek:

And so! The curse of the J's continues, and as prophesied Jeremy was next on the list to literally bite the bullet. Oh how I gigglesnorted at the expression on Sheriff Mom's face! Take that, you stupid wench! And what's that, a heartwarming moment of understanding between mother and daughter? Ah TVD, could you be any more predictable?

Although there were one or two little surprises; namely Stefangelus emerging (props for the poster who coined that little nickname, I'll be using it to be sure!) and Jeremy going Sixth Sense. Seeing dead ex-girlfriends wouldn't be at all pleasant I'd imagine. I might go so far as to theorise that they aren't actually the spirits of Anna and Vicki, but possibly something else entirely, an evil entity that broke into the material world when Jeremy was resurrected. You know, witches are all about balance in nature. Methinks something followed Jeremy over from the great unknown. The next big bad once the writers kill off Klaus perhaps, and his temporarily slain family get their revenge and run freeeeee all happy together taking tea and scones with Elijah.

Also enjoyed whatsherface's dig at Sheriff Mom and the threat that if she can't handle it, they'll find someone who will. Possible opening for new character. In all a solid enough finale for a slightly disappointing season. But with Stefan possibly on a new rampage, an obvious new love interest for Elena (that storyline is going to be tragically emo as she comes to terms with Stefan's sudden disappearance, I can almost taste the angst), Jeremy seeing dead peoples and Katherine freed to bring about her own special brand of delicious mayhem, I'm looking forward to season three.

Kevin Williamson talks season 3: http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/what_will_vampire_diaries_season_pViQEe4e14xnvcAJBFcHfJ

Think we should keep S3 related stuff here until September, then have a new S3 thread.?

Would it not be better to put all Season 3 stuff in a thread for Season 3 or change the title of this to Season 2 & 3?

There's no specific procedure for this sorta stuff.

If you keep season 3 news / discussion here, make sure to warn people of such and use spoiler tags where necessary (practically everywhere if it deals with plotlines / casting etc).

In a new thread of season 3 news / discussion with 'spoilers' indicated in the title - you can be a bit more leniant on spoiler tags. But it's still worth warning people if there's heavy spoilers in an article / news story.

It's more common sense than anything!

Just getting through season 1, its been on the box for the past year.

It's okay. It lacks humour and there is a lot of filler.

At this point (Ep 18 or so of Series 1) Caroline and Matt have yet to really do anything other then start going out together. Both characters are tertiary to the plot. Matt being Elena's ex and brother of Vicki. There is even an episode where Caroline feels left out and second choice to Elena, again so far she is just Matt's current GF, one of Elena's Best friend and daughter to the sheriff, who is on the council. But the producers feel the need to go on (and on) about their relationship. (Okay Caroline is coming out of a false relationship with Damon and she needs closure, but does the audience?). Perhaps both characters get more central roles in Season 2.

Elean's "Brother" Jeremy would be a great point of comic relief for the series. As he finds out about the vampires, but as a moody teen loner he ends up drinking any humour that he might have, I know he is sad due to the death of his father and mother but he and his girlfriend Vicki could have been great fun, discovering the vampires instead they are in an off-and-on-again relationship. And it does help that she is then killed off.

Damon and Stefan play the roles of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt (respectively) well, but unfortunately neither characters from Interview with a Vampire are all that entertaining. Damon is to dogmatic about being a vampire with little irony while Stefan is staying off blood. Stefan is currently trying to stay way from the blood after drinking some of Elean's. His character has become more fun, but that is only there to cause difficultly with his relationship with Elean.

Again Anna and Jeremy could both be played for comic relief but Anna has a controlling mother and Jeremy is slowly (very slowly) getting to grips with all the vampires. The amount of humour that is lost by Jeremy is disappointing. (Bonnie also needs some sense of humour, they should not have written out her grandmother, but then she is too old for this series )

I know you are all going to say it isn't a comedy, but drama needs some comedy, natural comedy. We don't all go around so serious the whole time even when we deal with major issues in our lives (look at The Big C and Nurse Jackie great dramas well scripted and not overly played for laughs). Okay Nurse Jackie is more of a comedy than the Big C, a better example is The Good Wife that can have that sense of humour with out taking from the story. Eli Gold is a good example of what I am talking about in The Good Wife.

Kevin Williamson is the main person behind this show so it is no wonder that it lacks humour, how many humourless seasons of Dawson's Creek were produced for pretty much the same TV channel. Even Pacey in that series suffered from Overly Serious Teen Relationship Syndrome (OSTRS).

However I am enjoy this series even with all of its problems. Smallville has a good replacement.

Personally I found Damon's attitude through season 1 pretty funny.

No it is what I mean, Damon can be quite sinister and sarcastic at times, but that is limited to him. Just some natural humour, you don't necessarily need a comic relief character. (In away I was think Jeremy would be good as a version of the Frog Brothers from The Lost Boys). I don't dislike Jeremy but there is very little to either dislike or like about him.

I am guessing John Gilbert is the character your talking about, but I will wait and see.

Also nice to see Mandy from 24 in the series hope she get to be as sinister as her character in 24 Maybe that is who you are talking about Elena's birth mother. ????

Oh! also I always Bing Vampire Dairies, don't know why I would used that search engine for Vampire Dairies only, but it seem like it's saying "Because It's Not Google!"

I dont like Caroline at all never warmed to even in Season 2 as a vampire and I dont see the point of Matt either since his sister is dead and mum is gone

Just seen Mason Lockwood aka Taylor Kinney in Lady Gaga's new video
