I very much suck at updating and replying to my comments.

Remember when I used to update often? Yeah, I miss those days too!

In bullet points because, apparently that's all I'm capable today:

The Vampire Diaries: I admit, I was judge-y. I judged. I thought it was just a Twilight on TV but it wasn't! I've been seeing posts aout TVD for some time now and even saw some episodes and I really thought it wouldn't click for me. Then I watched the season finale.

Oh, my.

Katherine. What is up with me and female villains? I know the evil, bad vampire Angelus analog is Damon and I see it but it was Katherine who struck me as more Angelus like. I don't see her as Darla for some reason although she could easily have been one. Also, the actress has props for playing both Elena (who is awesome and so grounded and just... refusing to let another person walk all over her agency) and the capricious and dangerous Katherine Pierce.

Bonnie, Elena's best friend was magnificent laying down the law. I don't know what was going on about the Tomb Vampires and the Salvatore brothers but I loved that some people in town know about vampires and were actually doing something about it. That's a nice change coming from the willful ignorance of the Sunnydale folk.

Can anyone recommend episodes I should check out?

Veronica Mars S3: There's a certain benefit to watching a show that's no longer airing. It means I can skip the not so good episodes, which I did. I stopped watching VM after season 2 and from what I've heard about the third season, I knew I wasn't going to like it so I stopped watching but there were good reviews about the second half of the season and that's where I started and I loved it! The Dean murder arc was so awesome and fantastic game changed and so very noir! I need to picspam that arc one of these days!

HIMYM: It took a while but I have to agree that this season is the weakest. This season had no arc and it is really hurting the show and the characters and I think next season has to be the last. They can't keep it up.
