The Vampire Diaries: Stefan’s fall from grace!

Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror TV

Greetings and salutations.

Things have been a little hectic around the Harker household with preparation in full swing for my very own Ripley moment, so apologies for the sporadic posting. However we are back on track this week with an installment from the world of The Vampire Diaries.

Is it just me or are people surprised at the improvement in the storyline and grittiness of what started out as a chocolate box, vaselined lens nod to horror? In the past half dozen or so episodes the show has seriously stepped up. Now, I am ready to admit I may be a tad desperate for TV Vampire action, like an undead bitch in heat I await for the return of Eric Northman to my lounge room.

However the storyline of Damon’s long lost love Catherine having somewhat wound up, we have a whole new kiss of vampires who have been released from the tomb into Mystic Falls. There has been an escalation in the shows tone, leaning towards darker at times more violent action, giving it more of a horror feel, rather than 9021VAMP. Elena’s biological mother is an intriguing plot line as is the rings she bestowed to certain characters which makes them immortal. Damon’s maintenance of his bad boy ways is a source of delight, who doesn’t love a man who can feast on a whole gaggle of sorority slappers?

However I have taken particular sadistic pleasure in the recent development which has the broody Stefan falling of the blood wagon. I am not a fan of the tortured, lamenting vampire protagonist, so Stefan’s new craving for the crimson liqueur has me giggling with evil amusement.  Lets hope the shows writers keep leaning closer to the dark side… At least until True Blood is back!

    Yes! I completely agree with your assessment of The Vampire Diaries. Where at first it seemed trite and contrived, it now is a great way to spend an hour waiting for the vamps of Bon Temps to again tickle our fancy… and Stefan - I couldn’t be more psyched now that both brothers are hanging out on the dark side! More, more!
