Twelve minutes in -- so far EXCELLENT. Really does have Season One feel.

It started off not bad...then they made Elena's casket the plot device/macguffin and just no. for eff's sake. Should have killed her.

I liked the episode but do I give the ratings compared to episodes this season only? Because I still have a hard time to give it 4 or 5 points knowing all the good episodes from season 1 and 2. Nothing can ever get close to those. If I chose among episodes of this season or last season I'd rate it higher but compared to season one it's only 3 points for me

Lily: "my family finds you less awesome than you do, Damon" Jeeze, how slow is Damon that he didn't think Lily would go after Elena? I'm so glad we have all new stories this season.... Caroline captured... Caroline tortured... Caroline rescued (at least until Damon screwed it up) ...thrilling. Lily does have a little justice in her bones, because she told the minions to hide Elena's body in the river...... Welcome to Stefan's summer in the safe, Elena... If you do make it out I hope Stefan tells ya to just be happy he's been having the time of his life.....

I gave it a 5 in comparison to last week's episode, which in my opinion was a 3. I liked the look of 7.02, to begin with, which was a lot more Season One. Plus I felt a lot more jeopardy -- more was at stake. Lily was revealed to be sadistic even as a human. Depriving your four-year-old to tears to cause your 10-year-old pain (or however far apart in age Stefan and Damon are) can't be read as just or fair in contemporary times. It also revealed how ingrained Damon's instinct to protect Stefan is. I can't remember why the original Salvatore house burned to the ground, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Damon who torched it. What else was interesting? Oh yes, considering how Klaus's coffins were used against him in the past -- now we are getting the sense of why he went to such great lengths to keep them close by. On Damon and Stefan's part, both have been trapped for long periods in great pain before Lily came back. She may not anticipate that they can "technically lie in wait" more than she ever knew as their mother. Also the only thing protecting her from Damon's taking her head is her power over him as their mother -- "she was our world." But we have seen with Katherine that Damon and Stefan both have the ability to wield the knife if the person proves in the end to be unworthy of their love. Enzo's move on Lily was pretty interesting, too, but gosh, he needs a new look. That hairdo -- not gorgeous. :)

In keeping with CD's theme for the season, I thought I'd help out
Caroline's Diary entry:
Elena can't write much because my arms are sore form the torture the vitches gave me.... Thanks to your BF we're in the middle of a war.... He is thoughtful though, it's been hot and muggy so Damon arranged a dip in the river for you.... Sorry he didn't get you out but you know how Damon leaves his toys laying around.. Oh, about the wet clothes, you just have to drip dry because the vitches are wearing your wardrobe..... yep, makeup and shoes are gone too.
Not much new.... Bonnie stopped Matty's heart .... Ric started a rock collection....Enzo's cougar hunting with Damon's MILF of a mom.... You know typical MF week.
On the Bonnie death watch, she seems healthy ATM... Damon almost got her creamed by a truck in Europe but chickened out at the last second. I'm sure the war will present an opportunity to send her on some solo missions. OH yea, I'm pregnant with Alaric's twins... just another boring week with out ya, boo...
Well, sleep tight and don't let the turtles bite..

That's for your diary entry shoe20. Keep 'em coming.... I'm watching this season as sort of a spin-off, because if I think too much about how it started, how much has been destroyed, including MF now, well..... I wouldn't be watching. Watching the handful of original characters left because I enjoy them so much, and thinking that Tyler went to live with Jeremy and they're out there as hunters - that I like. Elena in the box, not so much. Maybe she should've died or mysteriously vanished. Besides the dramatic tension for Bonnie's life, keeping the coffin as a character is lame so far. It's hard to care, to keep Elena alive in my mind when Nina Dobrev isn't there. I'm esp. liking the mysterious clues about the future. Caroline as producer at a TV station - perfect! I'm wondering about how she worded "don't mention the name Stefan Salvatore to me again." My speculating mind wondered if Stefan is her fiancé, and someone else took his name as an alias so she's actually referring to another person in that moment. It just seems a little early to say Caroline/Stefan don't make it, or if they do, it's in an even more distant future. The other clue was Valerie - is she the bolt shooter? If the future time is unrolling chronologically, then it makes sense Valerie went on a vendetta for some reason connected to Stefan, Stefan went to wake Damon, then tried to warn Caroline, who is engaged to ....? I prefer thinking we don't have all the info yet as that version takes away the mystery. I think Bonnie and Matt will hook up rather than Bonnie and Enzo. At the end of last season they were often together and had each other's backs.

Chances are your right about the Caroline flash forward, jennifer .. ... If there's one thing I've learned about these show runners in six yrs, it's they usually give ya the opposite of what the tease.... Serial Fibbers..... My biggest problem with this year so far, is I don't buy the vitches as creditable villains. Why didn't they poke Caroline's eye out? It would heal.... their certainly not "Original" material. I figure Beau is mute... the missing vitch is probably blind... so which one of the girls is hard of hearing? What do ya think of Enzo's cougar hunt? I do however acknowledge Lily is MILF material. lol It's kinda cheap to use Elena's coffin as a plot device, but I had no doubt it was coming. Sign me up for Battie because Bonenzo sounds like a clown. haha What the heck was Enzo whining about always choosing the group and they never chose him.... Talk about creative writing... The writers are really doing damage to Damon's character too (if that's possible) He's coming off as an incompetent whiner too... How did he overlook the obvious about protecting the coffin? Guess he and Enzo can have a "whine and cheese party" Speaking of parties.... where's Elena's slumber party? TVD has a long history of throwing parties at the most inappropriate time... Now they've waited too long and she's "swimming with the fishes"
Had to throw in a little Alaskan humor. lol

Had to throw in a little Alaskan humor. lol So much to ponder, shoe! Unfortunately they're not the Originals; that would make them sophisticated, diabolical and interesting. The Butcher's daughter could've learned something from Rebecca and her animal traps. As for the sixth one...isn't he the guy in the promo Damon goes after? Or maybe that's some informant who's going to lead him to #6. Enzo and Lily would be hilarious. Can you imagine Damon's reaction? Apopleptic. The whole MiLF thing does get in the way though. I found Enzo's guitar-strumming proposition kinda steamy, and Lily's reaction cute, but I couldn't get it out of my mind that he's going after Mrs. Salvatore. Anything but Borenzo! There's already too much Bonnie-blaming going on - they better not stick her with Enzo too!
