Not that the episode didn't meet my expectations for Vampire Diaries. It is an excellent show, and this episode raised many questions that look like they will develop into exciting plot lines. For instance, who made Logan (Chris J Johnson) a vampire? And what is Alaric (Matthew Davis)? Is he a vampire too? And why did I get the impression that Tyler (Michael Trevino) and his father were somehow connected to werewolves?
Especially exciting was the discovery that Bonnie (Katerina Graham)'s witch ancestor merely prevented Katherine and the other vampires from being awoken in one way, but there are other ways in which Damon (Ian Somerhalder) can recover his lady love.
Still, despite these things, the only part of the episode that created any concern for the outcome of the show was the last few moments. Yes, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) having sex was touching, and yes, I'll be reminded that, though she often acts more mature, she is still supposed to be a 17 year old, so freaking out and taking off when she discovered that she was the spitting image of Katherine should not be too surprising. Nor was Elena leaving behind the charm Stefan gave her, though it was supposed to protect her from both Stefan and Damon's power of suggestion. But another snag in their relationship does not make an intense situation I can't wait to see concluded.
They are the star couple of a TV show; it is not going to be easy for them.
So then, the only point of concern left is whatever Elena hit while running from Stefan. Whatever it is, I don't get the impression that it will be friendly...but there has never been an ending of an episode of Vampire Diaries that hasn't happened in that cliff hanger sort of way, and since I have no idea if this guy is really an enemy or really dangerous, I'll wait patiently until Vampire Diaries returns in January. And if I miss the first episode, I'll catch up and I won't cry.
