I really want him to become a permanent addition to the show, but I've wondered whether that could happen when he was also such an awful guy. I think we all had reason to expect this would happen to Kai, one of TVD's all-time great villains, if only due to how incredible Chris Wood's performance has been.

But at this point we're all savvy enough to know that if a villain is on a TV show long enough, it's only a matter of time before the redemption arc begins. Like when Klaus saved Caroline's life in Season 3.Ĭome to think of it, villains doing heroic things is basically the entire premise of The Vampire Diaries' kid sister, The Originals. But personally my very favorite story element, and I talk about this all the time, too often probably, is when a villain does something heroic. All the great shows have included love triangles at Red Lobster. It's difficult to craft a compelling narrative without them, you know? See also: animal attacks and love triangles at Red Lobster. What would have happened then would be when Enzo said that line to Matt: “Damon thinks he killed Sarah and instead of absolving him, Stefan's been using his guilt to keep him in check.When it comes to presenting a compelling narrative, certain story elements always work. (It's not like Damon had Alaric or anything being a stellar BFF.) Then after seeing the awesome follow-through to Enzo fighting so hard to figure out a way to bring Damon back and go after Stefan for being a ‘bad brother,' by actually seeing Damon and Enzo reunite beyond a barely-there scene in a van as they're both about to die would have been great! And, you know, some scenes of them hanging out, re-establishing their friendship, being buddies. And we'd seen a few scenes here and there of them together, especially Damon and Matt, just two or three, that's all it would have taken to establish the Damon/Matt connection. And had we seen Damon show some ‘aw, shucks! I get to see my minions again!' happiness at seeing Jeremy *and* Matt upon his return, that would have been good. Had we seen Matt interacting with Damon beyond one phone call when Damon returned from the dead (man, I love typing shit like that) where he expressed reluctant (because he's a vampire, damnit, and Matt's not supposed to admit he cares about Damon), but heartfelt (because he does care, damnit!) relief that Damon's not dead. Had they only continued both relationships this season when Damon came back, presto, you've got your connection. Last season the show set up a relationship between Damon and Matt and Damon and Enzo. Not very brotherly now, is it?' Boom, right there you've got your connection… IF it had been set up. Plus, it *really* frustrates me because it so, so easily could have been fixed and it frustrates me because if I can see it, why can't they? The line of dialogue was actually there that shows the answer! HELLO!!Įnzo told Matt that “Damon thinks he killed Sarah and instead of absolving him, Stefan's been using his guilt to keep him in check. It was just that once their scene began-every single time!-I immediately was drawn out of the main action that was going on because there was zero connection to *anything* else.Īnd that is something that The Vampire Diaries doesn't normally miss out on establishing which is why I'm frustrated because I am intrigued by this, but I completely understand why everyone else that I've heard from is not. While the scenes played, I was drawn into them and found myself intrigued by the story and where it was going. I think that Tristin Mays (Sarah) is a lovely actress and I really like her so far.

I actually do think that Malarkey and Zach Roerig work well together. It was just the Matt/Enzo/Sarah ones that stuck out a bit. The Bonnie scenes, the Damon/Elena, the Gemini, the Stefan/Caroline, the Liv/Tyler all flowed in and out of together. Unlike with “Woke Up With A Monster' this wasn't a case of poor direction where the director wasn't able to seamlessly bridge the scenes because that happened with all of the storylines going on not just the Sarah “Nelson' scenes.

Those scenes could have easily been taken out and the episode would not have suffered at all in fact it would have been improved. The Matt and Enzo story feels disconnected from the rest of the show right now. I'm just going to jump right in, so here goes. I know this is majorly late but I haven't been feeling good and I didn't feel like writing so sorry, but here it is now.
