The small break for The Vampire Diaries, paused until December 2, is the perfect opportunity to take stock of the situation, after the first nine episodes rich exciting and unexpected events, of which Katherine is the undisputed star
fascinating, elusive and shadowy: the innate charm of the vampires on TV as on the big screen, has now carved out a wide public, as evidenced by the enormous success of Twilight Saga before, and The Vampire Diaries True Blood and then. The brothers Salvatore and sweet and helpless Elena Gilbert held high the ratings of the CW and The Vampire Diaries stands for the excellent response to viewers, more than 3.5 million, week after week. The series, the novels of Lisa J. Smith, has deservedly won favor with audiences and critics alike and continues, depending on the season, to amaze and surprise with many twists and cliffhanger ad hoc . The season, playing quietly gaining momentum and adrenaline, continued unravel plots opened last year, introducing new characters and thoroughly investigating the psychology of those already known. The well-prepared script, the direction and tone roaring chorus well orchestrated, give it a privileged position within the network , which declined sharply listened to show well established as Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill , to name only the most extreme cases.
The first few episodes, Brave New World , Bad Moon Rising and Memory Lane focused mainly on the back of the perfidious Katherine, on the transformation of the Caroline and rooted dualism between vampires and werewolves, are critical to the unfolding of the plot, rather heavy compared to last season. The Curse of Lockwood is revealed slowly through flashbacks to Katherine's past and its connections with the founders of the city and the family Savior: It turns out that Mason Lockwood, arrived in the city in search of the necessary moonstone to break the curse, he is also the orders of the evil Katherine. Slowly the pieces begin to fit together and shipping for Damon, and Elena to Alaric Duke University where decisive encounter with Vanessa Monroe ( Courtney Ford), a student of Isobel, shows other details about the folklore and paranormal phenomena have occurred over the centuries to Mystic Falls. Isobel's research helped shed light on particular even more disturbing, revealing crucial information on the ancient curse of the sun and moon, that the bite of a werewolf would be fatal to a vampire, the further discovery of the book on the roots of the family Petrova, states that one of the conditions to dissolve the spell is the death of doppelganger Elena.
The fast-paced and dynamic characterizes the later episodes, Kill or Be Killed , Plan B and , Masquerade exciting and eventful. The main storyline is inevitably to mingle with other children, and all the characters were the focus of an ominous common destiny, which seems to be no a remedy itself. Damon takes over the reins of the situation, and despite failing to beat Katherine manages to remove his ally Mason, in a rather bloody battle that ends with the death of the werewolf, the vampire who rips the heart. In parallel, Stefan finds himself busy on several fronts, perhaps too many, the point of losing control of the situation: in fact offered to support Caroline in the difficult time following the transformation, does not allow him to focus on Katherine, and increasingly fierce cruel in wanting to destroy his relationship with Elena. During one of many flashbacks dating back 150 years before, we finally know the true feelings of the woman, sincerely in love with the eldest brother Salvatore, and today more than ever determined to regain it. The story of Stefan and Elena is strongly influenced by the situation: to safeguard the welfare of his loved ones, constantly threatened by his doppleganger, she decides to cut the link with the beautiful vampire and set aside his feelings once and for all. Damon on the other hand, fails however to set aside what I feel for Helen, and is not able to bury deep in my heart where emotions can not escape. Emotions explode in the eighth episode Rose , in which an alliance for the first time in a long time, with his brother, to rescue Helen, the woman they both love.
The episode introduces new characters basic, Rose (Lauren Cohan ) mentioned in the title, and Trevor ( Trent Ford), two vampires who have, through the mysterious Elijah ( Daniel Gillies), the doppelganger to kidnap and deliver it in the hands of Klaus, one of the oldest members of the feared and old dynasties to repay this debt of five hundred years before. At the time the two were in fact just to turn into a vampire Katherine. The alliance between Damon and Stefan proves vital to bring Elena safe but sacrificing the life of Trevor Rose and then pushing to join the group of Mystic Falls. Essential in this situation, the intervention of Bonnie, thanks to a spell that allows Stefan to track and to rescue Helen. The bond between the young witch and Jeremy, has become another key pawn in the common design that ties the characters to each other, perhaps marking a new impossible love that is unlikely to have a happy ending, like the one between Damon and Elena which reaches its climax at the end of the episode, when the boy confesses for the first time his feelings in a romantic and unforgettable scene, only to immediately subdue and make her forget everything. However, it is the next episode, Katerina , helping us to finally understand the true nature of Katherine, from going to dig back in 1492 in Bulgaria, Petrova in the family home (which was later changed to Pierce The current name of Katherine). She shows us once again his vindictive nature and selfish but at the same time proves emotionally fragile in many ways (on all the bond with the mother), the result of a difficult and turbulent past.
The excellent interpretation of Dobrev, gives credibility and depth to the character of Katherine, weaker after being locked in the crypt by Damon , yet tough and ready to do battle with anyone who obstructs the road. A strong and determined woman, tragically bad, but also fascinating, much like Damon, pivotal point in the series. The love-hate relationship that binds him to his brother, the attraction she feels for Elena, arrogance and irony that radiates in every scene and what to do by bad guy much like women, making it arguably the most important protagonist of The Vampire Diaries . Evolving character and attitude never banal or predictable, Damon is able to infect with his strength of character his brother Stefan, and weakened in the shade during the season, but the way of redemption for some episode, especially since , convinced by Damon, he started to pull out their claws to protect Helen, choosing to feed on human blood to increase his strength and be able to defeat Klaus and Katherine. Main advantages of the series, is undoubtedly to be able to sort out, whenever in due course, the intricate links between the various characters, while maintaining a tone of credible and consistent with the general plot, giving depth to the psychology of each individual, without sacrificing anyone. The writers and creators to make every effort to ensure that the chorus pervades every single episode, set in a more uniform and smooth voices, alternating perfectly the right amount of action to the more static and reflective moments, enhanced by a soundtrack in line with the 'atmosphere of the series and well-written dialogues which turns a touch of humor and romance that never hurts. The entry of new characters, the last in chronological order, Rose and Elijah, and the sorcerer Luka, now linked to Bonnie, the stay does not affect in any way other children even if, as in the case of Jeremy, and Caroline Tyler, fundamental in the overall design, to the story. And so in a moment, in The Vampire Diaries, witches, werewolves, vampires and common teenager, were the focus of a history so tangled and unpredictable but never dull or confusing, indeed extremely compelling and convincing.
In the series of Kevin Williamson the teendrama fits perfectly with the vampire genre, emphasizing, once again, the mix of genres typical modern age of television, winning not only the segment of the audience attracted by the princes of darkness, but also all those who are constantly looking for a series that knows how to keep them glued to the screen from beginning to end, reserving twists in each episode can leave you speechless.
