The Vampire Diaries - Episode 3.06 - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Review

"No, Stefan. It makes me strong." —Elena

It's the first episode in Mystic Falls without Klaus and for the most part it was pretty entertaining and actually pretty funny. But I'm so far past the high school aspect of this show, that when it pops up onscreen I get a bit annoyed. I don't care about the Spirit Squad and I don't care to watch Caroline skipping around while she and Bonnie make ironic remarks about their supernatural boyfriends — especially not for Bonnie, because as we've seen with this ghost storyline time and time again, Anna is just so much better. Jeremy can't tell he's thinking about Anna whenever he's talking to Bonnie, and neither do I, but when she pops up you're like: oh, yeah, that's why I was thinking about her. Because she's awesome. And she's not really doing much other than pretend-touching Jeremy and telling him Vicki is "dark."

Which is a storyline, by the way, that I believe has paid off in spades, especially now. We all knew Vicki was up to no good, turns out she wanted to kill Elena (no one mention that they can just turn her into a vampire, no one!) but it eventually backfires on her during a use-Bonnie-to-get-us-out-of-this-corner-we're-stuck-in gag the writers like to do a lot while Matt understates his delivery of being mad (and sad) that Vicki was out for blood… but whatever. At least it means that Anna's presence will be heightened. Now if only there was a way to actually bring her into the physical world, hm…
