The bleak somberness, the darkness, everything tells you... it ain't even nearly the same show it started out as. No, the producers saw the way to go with ORIGINALS and VAMPIRE DIARIES has tried embracing the dark in a similar way since last season. It's blood and gore galore! Let's pull out all the stops! Let's give the public what they want!
ORIGINALS had a great script going for it. With the characters to back up all that darkness. VAMPIRE DIARIES sails into completely different territory than its maiden voyage. With a poor script. I've already seen the next episode and we have to endure that Michael Malarkey dude, what malarkey indeed. Enough said.
In here, I like the cute "twins" and it's good to see Candice still going great. The story? BAH!
