Suffice it to say, this week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries was much more entertaining than the previous. The only good part of last week was Damon giving up. As he so appropriately said ‘I’m better like this.’ Yes, yes you are, Damon.

When Klaus left the show to star in The Originals, the topic on everybody’s minds was that we were now missing the lead protagonist on the show. One thing this show is excellent at is creating three dimensional characters, especially their villains. Klaus’ life story was told, showing why he's the way he is, making it impossible to hate him because everyone could connect with him and see his character’s development over his life. So when Klaus left, we needed another villain who would be able to live up to Klaus’ legacy; not an easy thing to do.
Damon is back on his dark spiral of depression. Damon is not Damon unless he is killing or torturing. Since he has been with Elena, this stopped and his role in the show seemed to take part as either a background role or Elena’s hero. She already has Stefan; she doesn’t need another hero to remind her of how useless she can be. This new story arc he has been given is exciting, sexy and true to Damon. His life is only going to get worse.

The Vampire Diaries’ original villain is back and better than ever! Damon first entered the show in the Pilot with his legendary line, ‘Hello, Brother.’ He was revered in the first two seasons for being cruel yet lovable. He was looking for redemption. After two and a half seasons him trying not to be the serial killer he is, he gives up after Katherine gives him some bad news and he comes back with a bang!
Damon’s new storyline will cause grief for many people, both the audience and the other characters in the show. Last week was, to be frank, dull. This has more than made up for it and the joy and anticipation of watching a new episode has returned.
