The Vampire Diaries – More eye-rolls than OMGs?

I’m just not sure that the ratio of OMGs to eye-rolls is favorable after this episode of The Vampire Diaries, but to be fair, I think we should tally it all up and see where the goodness falls. Just a few observations first, though.

Could Damon have turned a more irresponsible person? I’m thankful that the Vicki storyline isn’t going to become an ongoing saga, but it did account for several eye-rolls this evening (which we’ll get to). And speaking of Vicki, those open-toed boots will probably sit alongside the high-heeled sneakers in the annals of bad style choices.

Oh, a question: can anyone help me figure out who the actress is that plays Mrs. Lockwood? She’s nowhere to be found on Epguides or IMDb in association with this show, and I don’t know where else to look when I can’t remember where I’ve seen her before. I’m thinking a soap opera or something … anyone?

Now onto the tally….

OMGs

For the sake of this post, OMGs will count for anything that was cool, even if it wasn’t an OMG moment exactly.

• “OK, Count Deepak.” — Damon to Stefan on his “we’re all our own person” speech to Vicki
• The exchange between Elena and Damon when she went to their door to find Stefan. Well timed and super-snarky.
• “Why do I have to pee? I thought I was dead.” — Vicki
• Damon’s inability to mindfuck the mayor’s wife and his making the connection to vervain right away was very cool.

Eye-rolls

• Vicki dressed as vampire … really?
• Bonnie’s ancestor looks like her, just like Elena looks like Katherine. Lame.
• Bonnie ended up with Emily’s (ancestor’s) witching necklace. Like, wow Scoob, what a coincidence.
• The mayor’s wife’s drunken loose lips … really? Wouldn’t a member of “the council” know better?

The tally looks pretty even, but the general angst made me roll my eyes, but the fact that they killed off a main character — again! — balances that out, so it seems to be a tie.

Can anyone break it — what do you think of The Vampire Diaries? OMG, or eye-roll?
