The Vampire Diaries - Season 5 - Episode 1- Review :)!

This is just going to be a quick review/recap/my own opinions, on the first episode episode of Season 5 of The vampire Diaries ^_^.

Firstly and unfortunately ..i can only say that i was satisfied with this episode :S as much as i want to say it was 'amazingly brilliant', it was just 'good' :L haha i don't know if it was just me and the mood that i was in when i watched it or the fact that i haven't watched the show for a few months! I felt as though there wasn't a huge 'wow factor'! Anyways ..on a positive note! i am happy that it's back on WOO! :D

I have to say, this episode definitely contained more 'sex appeal' and humour. Which was a good thing compared to the previous episodes ,which were quite upsetting. This is due to the first few scenes including Elena and Damon in bed and surprisingly,  Matt and Rebecca in bed in 'Amsterdam or was it Prague? i can't keep track'.. with another woman. The humour was mainly given through Damon amd his many sarcastic remarks, which made me laugh.

I also liked the way that Silas was portrayed within the episode, as being evil yet cheeky! slightly similar to Damon's character, to some extent (it may have been the smile). Although i didn't really like the fact that he killed Bonnie's dad..that was unfair! But dare i say , i think i actually prefer Silas to Stefan O_o (Even though i like all the characters!). 





On the note of Stefan , i did however sympathize with him due to the fact that he is being kept in a safe underwater , constantly drowning each time he awakens (I couldn't help but think of Torch Wood , even though Captain Jack was buried in earth for so many years...but yes). I thought the scenes were quite interesting , especially the initial scene of seeing Stefan in the Safe. We first see Elena in Damon's bath , she mentions about Stefan and contemplates calling him. Instead she stops herself and slides down under the water , to which it then cleverly turns to Stefan , as though they are back to back.

 

I also liked the way in which Elena seemed happier and that her and Caroline were getting along. I am upset about Bonnie.. but the way in which she acts, especially around Jeremy, ensured me that she was ok..sort of. I also found the 'human' Katherine quite entertaining to watch , as you could tell she was far weaker and vulnerable.

Overall, I liked the episode and the way in which certain characters , like Silas , were portrayed. The humour and obvious sex appeal made the episode more grown up and entertaining, which in turn balanced out the more unsettling scenes , such as seeing Stefan in the safe and also the gruesome murder of Bonnie's father.
