The Vampire Diaries - Season 3 - Discussion

Maybe Matt's new character will also be prone to alcoholism and/or frequent bouts of deadness?

 

Bumping to see if anyone else is still torturing themselves?

 

I've been enjoying the season so far.

 

You should have started a new topic.

 

I think the show has seen its best days--it is so uneven with moments that are good then immediately awful--Klaus serves no useful purpose and neither does Rebekah--they should have kept him dead. Just when you think the angst is over--bam!--now Elena is a vampire and is back to being torn after making up her mind--yawn. And I don't like how it seemingly introduces an interesting thread then ends ti because Julie Plec and the CW think their target audience can't be patient enough to let a storyline develop into something worthwhile.

I still watch it though only because tv is already so wretched that at least I have some affinity for these characters which I can't say for 99.99999999% of tv

While I agree that the show has seen its best days and that Klaus especially is far past his expiration date of interesting, I must admit that VD does continue to offer up some good twists. I do like the new vampire hunter and the whole vampire cure thing this season. I even liked the little Klaus-Rebekah-Stefan dinner last week. I thought that was well done, with some nice interaction from all three characters.

What I'm not liking as much is Elena as vampire. She's way too whiny. I think from a creative standpoint it was a good way to go, but the execution is leaving a lot to be desired. One thing I like though is that once she stops whining, she really likes to chomp down on peoples' necks. Seems like she might be a ripper.

 

I will start a new thread. I was just not sure if anyone else was still watching.

I am tired of the central triangle and Elena in general. Her whining and saintification from the lips of about just everyone is ugh. Rebecca gets a few points for hating Elena so hard.

I am intrigued by some of the new stories.
1. I like the vampire hunter.
2. The 5 seems an interesting concept.
3. The new professor seems nice and shady.
