I was really happy that my comments were included into the show, being a first time listener. Well, now second. So thank you so much. I have some responses to your responses:
- About the tramp stamp, It was very subtle so I made a .gif from the screencaps which is here
-For the record, I still believe Plan B was somehow still my favorite. I didn't enjoy Masquerade as much as I'd hoped. I was very excited for it, not just because it was a new episode. There were a lot of great quotes though. Once again, I am a huge tumblr addict, and there are a lot of .gif posts about them. Also, I wrote my own review for Masquerade which is here. I was going to include it in here but I figured I'd just link to the entire review.
Anyways, more about tvd, what was said about Alaric possibly becoming a bad guy. I had never thought about it, and personally I don't think that would happen but it would definitely make for an interesting plot twist.
About the Vampire Diaries books, It completely goes against my nature to think so, but I agree that the series is a lot better than the books, which I've read some of. As mentioned, they are VERY different, for instance Caroline's role in the show,
Now, if you look up a "doppelganger" which I had no idea what it was prior to this episode, but the untrustfull wikipedia says they're prone to bad luck and seeing ones own is an 'omen of death'. So using that, I'm very glad Elena isn't back with Stefan, even with how said it is (haha), however I'm sure Elena will still be in her usual danger. But of course all folklore changes from story to story. I'm very interested to see how this will play into the future episodes, I'm going to try to allow myself to be surprised though.
About Let the Right One In: I agree the book is rather slow, and there is a lot of things, as mentioned, not in the movie. however I understand why they weren't. Once again, I don't really want to get into spoilers again but just for the woman who had said she was reading it: the um.. graphic prostitute scene and the relationship between Eli and her "father", thankfully are not included in the Swedish movie, I have no idea about the American one but I doubt they are in there. Anyways, I never actually finished reading the book, so I don't really understand how those scenes play in to the rest of the book, thus why I'm glad they weren't included in the films.
Once again, sorry this comment was so long. Haha.
Btw about Bonnie's cousin, her name is Lucy.
I'm sorry, the links i had included did not show up, so here they are again:

Thanks for the comments, Cherry! I loved seeing the tramp stamp animated GIF -- I had to let it repeat a few times, and wow, it's a big one!
And re: Let the Right One In, that's interesting that Hakan is not in the movie (it's ok, that's not a spoiler at all). I'll be watching it real soon (both Swedish and American versions), as I'm over halfway through the book now. Can't wait!
I really think Jeremy is going to take on more of the role of "watcher." he's totally going to be the one that does the research, uncovers the myths, mysteries etc...i'm kind of excited to see him actually have a pair.
Just wanted to chime in on “Masquerade.” At the end of the episode when Elena told Stefan it was over and she was going her own way and blah blah blah., I was shocked just like you guys. I kind of felt like it was one of the only times in the entire series that you could see through the TV show-ness and it was obvious that the writers were just dragging out the drama. While I do get that she wanted to make sure everyone was safe…if Katherine was taken care of…what’s there to worry about? And if I were her, the only place I would want to be is in Stefan’s arms! She’s crazy!
Anyway, I loved the rest of the episode and thought Damon was particularly devilish and wonderful! Food for thought: My roommate and I are thinking they are setting up Bonnie and Jeremy. What do you think? And do you think it’s weird? I, personally, think it’s a little bizarre. I mean, not everyone on the show has to date each other! And that’s his big sister’s best friend. Thanks for keeping me entertained and in the know! Until next time…Tabby
Side note: Does anyone else hate that everyone is calling Alaric, Rick....ugh! Why give someone such a cool and different name and then call him Rick. Not that I have anything against any Ricks out there...I'm just sayin'.
ps...Robyn is my roomie!
Hi! Everytime I watch an episode all i can think about is how good the show is! Gosh its so great! I am glad that Katherine is in the tomb, for real, but what is the mess about Elena and she is in trouble-i know she was kidnapped but what is up with that? I hate her line about "needing wake up and everyone i love is ok"...Stephan can totally make sure that happens. I agree with tabby in that Elena should just be with Stephan. Elena is kind of annoying right now.
Also, how about the Jeremy/Bonnie pairing...kinda cute. I also like how Bonnie was able to meet her "cuz." She needs someone. And I like how she told Bonnie she needed to be right in the middle of it b/c she knows she will be helpful.
I'm so anxious to see whats going to happen with Tyler. He has to wolf out soon. When he finds out that Damon killed his uncle he is going to be pissed!
Spoiler Alert!! My thought on TVD Episode 8, Rose.
Loved last nights episode!! Every episode is so good this season, not really any "filler" episodes. I loved Damon in this episode, he was so sweet and what he said to Elena at the end just made me swoon. I think I might have to switch over to Team Delena.
I totally think they are setting up Bonnie and Jeremy, I think they're cute together. I liked the above comment about Jeremy being the "watcher". I totally think that is him because he has to be included in some way and it made me think of Giles from Buffy.
I knew that when Damon staked Elijah he wasn't totally dead. He should have cut his head off also or something like that. He's super old and recovered very quickly from the vervain bomb (which I thought was really funny).
The Tyler and Caroline storyline is kinda cute and I'm glad they can talk to each other, but I have a feeling that something bad is gonna happen to Caroline when Tyler changes with the next full moon.
I have to agree that the show is much better than the books. The first 4 books were pretty good. The new trilogy I don't like as much. It took me a long time to get through #5, The Return: Nightfall and I am only a couple chapters in on #6 The Return: Shadow Souls which came out in March. I normally fly through books, but I can't seem to get into the new ones.
I love the show and look forward to it each week. None of my friends share my vampire obsession. Thanks for letting me get all my thoughts out there and look forward to what you guys have to say. One last thing, on the last episode someone wrote in and asked if you could make a list of all the wines you have had on the show, I think that would be a great idea also. I know you can go back and look at all the show notes, but that can get a bit tedious. It would be nice if you could see them all in one place. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!
Nothing to say about Vampire Diaries because the show is getting really predictable for me and I'm kinda bored but I'll keep watching.
I'm excited for Breaking Dawn more then anything I'M SORRY BUT I'm kinda of tired of the other vampire stuff. I really want to see this franchise finish strong because I just adore those books and honestly the Twilight books deserved better movies so I'm hoping Breaking Dawn will cover the last three movies.
Hey Guys.
I don't want to say much, because I already told you your show is greate :)
I want to comment on Chrissys post, about the books. I read alll six books. I also liked the first four more, but i bought the other ones in hope to be better. It wasn't I have to agree. But the End of book six is so open and unexpected, that I now want to know how the series ends. Thats why I decidet to read the last one two. Haven't done it jet, but will be soon. What will me surely take a while.
Hopefully listen to you soon ;)
