Episode 4
Family Ties
Thursday night on CW
-my weekly vampire eye-candy segment
-for my Vampire Diaries challenge and Helluva Halloween
Synopsis from TV Guide:
Stefan escorts Elena to the town's annual Founder's Party, where Damon tells her a surprising story about his family's past. It prompts Elena to ask Stefan questions he refuses to answer and forces him to take action against his brother.
My thoughts:
We had some fun moments with the reference to Twilight. Poor Twilight, I love that series too. I feel that each vamp series are special in their own ways. No need to bash or compare them.

I actually had a coinkydink moment when Damon references John Varvatos in the knife for knife scene. It so happens that just last night I was standing at a bus kiosk that had an ad of ZZ Top in John Varvatos wear. Previously, I would not have known what or who John Varvatos was.
I'm so glad that the witch world is making an appearance. Bonnie's (Katerina Graham pictured above) flickering candles has got me curious to know what the connection lies with vampires. Friend or foe?
Jewelry plays interesting roles in this series.
- Stefan and Damon's rings - protection from daylight
- Elena's necklace with vervain - protection from Damon's glamour
- Jeremy's inherited pocket watch - protection from vampires? still to be revealed
- Jewel retrieved from the secret compartment of the antique box - properties yet to be revealed
Did I miss any others?
Now what about that ending, eh?
They've come back.
Amusing quotes:
Damon gets all the great lines...
You're dead dude. Get over it. - Damon
It's cool not growing old. I like being the eternal stud. - Damon
