The Vampire Diaries - S02E01|♡Uncut Reaction &Review ♡

This season premiere pulled out of all the stops. To me, this was Damon's lowest moment. He certainly has a hell of a journey this season, but somehow, it's my favorite Damon season.

Here you get the full extent of how super sexy and extraordinarily beautiful Paul, Ian and Nina are. This is a 5D photo shooting, it is a bit boring at the beginning but it start to get interesting after 18.10....enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVddVCClU3A&t=1369s

Fist of all, the level of acting performances by everybody in this show is extraordinarily high. There will be episodes where the actors in turn will have a chance to shine. Steven R. McQueen (that by the way is Steve McQueen grandson) has proven already his excellence. Nina is no exception. If you think about it she was just 20 years old, here and she was perfectly capable to play two different characters, in a way that we all forget Elena and Katherine are played by the same person. Stefan oh Stefan!! As much as I didn't like much first season Stefan, a bit of a lair, insecure, petty, jealous, I adore Stefan season two. He is fully on board with the brotherhood idea, How noble and mature it was his conversation with Damon in the garden, and how tender he was trying to excuse his brother unforgivable action of trying to turn Jeremy into a vampire. And yes Stefan threatening people is one of the most strangely entertaining thing in the show. Paul is different (much hotter, I agree), because as he said in season one he didn't know how long he would play this character, but after the show exploded in popularity he felt more confident and committed to the role and it shows. Damon.....well, he was written by the writer an antagonist and they given the role to Ian that was very happy to play a bad boy. But the combination of great writing and a character that fit the actor like a glove took an unexpected turn, Damon took a life on its own and became irresistible, much loved by the audience and as they said "we tried but you love him no matter what". So they wrote this story line to put Damon back on track, on a road very very far from redemption. Did they succeed? You will know how we all felt after this episode, in the next episodes. From a character point of view. Damon heard from others that Katherine didn't care, not from her mouth directly. That is why in his head there was a chance for love, since from his prospective, he wasn't compelled, they shared secrets, like the one when she showed him how to feed and kill. So in his mind he though this relationship was the real deal. Now she told him she never loved him and was extra cruel by adding she actually only loved his brother. Why did she add that detail? He saw his life going down the drain as a totally wasted life. He was unloved by his father, that killed him, he was used for sex by the woman, that loved his brother, and screwed up by his brother that force him to turn and condemn him to a lonely life he didn't choose. And to top the cake, Elena told him the same thing Katherine said with the same words. As we know vampires feel way more intensely then humans and Damon hurting is his Achilles heels, he can't handle it and that's the tragic result. He is desperate for someone to love him, because he was never loved, now in his mind he just had the confirmation that he is unworthy of love and as Elena said he prefers to be hated, rather than having people feel nothing for him. Trying to turn Jeremy by killing him has no justification, but still, personally I cannot bring myself not to feel emphatic for such damaged, unloved character. Katherine. Who is she really? We all suspect at this point, she is up to something. Why she is back now? Why she wanted all the tomb vampires killed? Is she back for Stefan? We will see. Caroline, adorable, neurotic, insecure Caroline is going to be a vampire, with her mom being a vampire hunter/the town sheriff...how that will play? And Tyler. I know why people don't like Tyler, he is a privileged bully and a douche. But when writers give characters serious motivation and dept for being even an utter douche, it's another story, as you felt in this episode, for the first time. Anyway my personal favorite seasons are the following seasons, but I totally get how season two is a favorite among so many people. It has so many episode I totally love too. This show is a rollercoaster of emotions, season one was a ride up to the top, episode 21 was reaching the top and now you are riding down picking up speed episode after episode. Be prepare and tell to your mom that you are going to scream plenty more...😂

rip Delena <\3 Katherine said hate sounds more like a beginning of a love story than the end of one, but so many people hate Damon. Curiously, Bonnie seemed eager to talk to Damon. Their ship name is Bamon (though, every "pairing" has a name) Back to Katherine's comment about hate becoming love: I think it shows that Katherine thinks of love as a game and that's why she is after the bigger challenge; Damon is boring to her with his "undying love"

By the way Sofie your reactions are the best I've ever seen. Girl you are fab!

I read once that this act of Damon's, when he tried to turn Jeremy into a vampire, was introduced by the writers on purpose. Like, by the end of the first season, Damon had become too kind and human. And so they wanted to go back to Damon, who was at the beginning of the first season. As for me, they didn't do it very well. I think this action is a little out of character for Damon. If he had done it at the beginning of the first season, I would have believed it. But not now. I can't explain my feelings correctly, but for some reason this act is out of the general narrative. Maybe I'm wrong. Watching Damon in this episode was painful. He's so desperate to be loved. But instead, he is rejected by two people close to him. One is a girl he's been looking for for about 145 years, the other is a girl he definitely feels something for. It can break another person. Very emotionally. Caroline is a vampire.... I'm loving it. I won't say anything more. I hope you like it too. Bonnie… She continues to stand her ground. I can't blame her. I really understand her behavior. Yes, Caroline was in the hospital because of her. But no one could have predicted this outcome. Besides, they left the square. Who could have known that things weren't normal with Tyler, either? And I like that Damon is still trying to fix things with Bonnie, even though she tried to kill him. I like their relationship! And of course Nina! I will never tire of admiring her talent. She is excellent at playing Katherine, Elena, and Katherine, who pretends to be Elena. Amazing! Sofie, good to see you! Waiting for the second episode!

First of all, the level of acting in this series, from everybody, it is really high, there are going to be episode where their high acting skills will be obvious. Already Steven R. McQueen, Jeremy (that by the way is the nephews of Steve McQueen) prove to be is outstanding. Nina. If you think about it, she was just twenty years old and she is perfectly capable to play two different characters and make us forget that they are played by the same person. Stefan oh Stefan!! As much I didn't like entirely Stefan season one, the little liar, petty, jealous, insecure, I utterly adore Stefan season two, he carry himself differently and Stefan threatening people is always an absolute pleasure. He is finally fully on board with the brotherhood thing, how noble, mature and confident was the conversation he had on the garden with Damon and how tender he was, by trying to excuse Damon from an non defensible action. Yes Paul is different in this series, definitely hotter, he said that he didn't feel confident in the first series, because he didn't know if he got to play the part for long, but as the series exploded in popularity, he felt more comfortable and confident with the role. Damon.....his character was written to be an antagonist, a bad boy and give to play Damon to Ian and it took a life on its own, out of the writer control, it became unpredictably an irresistible character, people just loved him, so that was a further attempt to put Damon character on line, on a road far from redemption. From a character, point of view, I don't justify the character action, of trying to turn Jeremy into a vampire, by killing him, but I can't help to empathize with his feeling of not worth loving, he was told twice he wasn't loved. He was told by somebody else Katherine didn't care , he didn't hear it from her voice before. So in his head there was a possibility of love, for how he knew their relationship was, that he wasn't compelled, that they share secrets Stefan didn't know, like the scene when she showed him how to feed and kill, he tough their relationship was the real deal. To be crushed by her that not only told him he never loved him but that she loved his brother not him, why she added that? How used and played he must have felt, Damon saw his entire life flashing down the toilet and as we know vampire feels way more that human. He is desperate for someone to love him and if is not love than hate, any feeling, not nothing. How terrible it is to feel a disappointment by your father, that kills you, discover you been used for sex by a woman pretending to care, being screwed up by your brother that force you to a lonely life you didn't choose, very difficult not to feel sorry for him. Katherine is an interesting character to get to know, because you are right we really don't know her yet. Oh yes, you are on a rollercoaster journey, season one was the climbing up to the top, reached the top on episode 21 and now is going to down picking up speed. there so many episode I love about this season....you'll see.

I like how you pointed out that we only know who Katherine is from Damon and Stefan. We still don't know the whole story.

Damon thought he was over Katherine, but seeing her in the flesh brought all those old feelings back.

Katherine's aura is very femme fatale. She's very confident and take charge. When you look in her eyes, it seems like she's always plotting. She's a very compelling complex character.

You'll find out why Katherine is here soon. Can't wait!! It's gonna be so good.

Season 2 is going to get crazier!!!

Damon's arc isn't linear because his character isn't. At the beginning of the season, he was an antagonist. Now it depends on the day what side he's on.

Vampires feel things more than a normal human....Damon is not a stable Vampire, If you think about Damon and Caroline are similar, they both feel like second choices. As far a Jeremy, Damon wasn't trying to kill kill him, he thought he was turning him in a Vampire. Damon is desperate to be accepted, for who he is. His whole life is that. Nina does a terrific job on her acting, you can tell if she is Elena or Katherine right away. Elena is a 17 year old human girl, Katherine is a frozen in time 17 year old, who has been around for 500 years.

Bonnie got on my nerves in this episode again. She fails to see that this was kinda all her fault. Caroline wouldn't have been in the hospital if the device didn't go off. Also, she keeps overestimating her power. It's really annoying.

Yes. Nina Dobrev is so amazing. I never even think I'm watching the same actress play two roles.
