This season’s homage to the Stanley Kramer classic “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World” as enacted by the teens (immortal or otherwise) residing in  Mystic Falls, nexus of the universe, is underway. This race to find the cure (and woefully not the Cure, but rather, an antidote to the effects of vampirism) started out [...]

Hi! My name is Rebecca and you might remember me from this very website, where I have been quietly expounding upon my lust and fanfic-esque fantasies involving the brothers Salvatore. How are you? It’s been a while! Me? Oh I’m okay. I’m on the first day of my period which is not awesome, but I [...]

Recently, on a foray out to the movies, I was treated to an extended trailer for this season of TVD. I sighed towards the end and quietly said, “That is my favorite show,” to my movie companion who laughed. Then, he looked at my face, as silent and somber as the grave and went, “Oh [...]

I’m sorry this post is so late, but, as fans of the show, I’m sure you’ll understand exactly why: I have been feverishly touching myself ever since the last five minutes of last week’s episode. What?! Don’t tell me you’re still Team Stefan? I mean, I guess to each their own, but let’s look at [...]

It has long been my opinion – and those of our dear editor-in-chief – that the wacky gang of friends both mortal and im’ (who I am genuinely quite fond of) are quietly, socially awkward, psychopaths. They seldom think about how their actions effect others – not counting Elena, whose obsession with the feelings of [...]

At my funeral I would like for the entire current cast of the Vampire Diaries (I’m looking at you dead Aunt Jenna) to stand in a line over my coffin and recite in unison, “This, is my Mystic Falls…” continuing on with the opening exposition-based speech they have been giving at the beginning of each [...]

For all my sniping, Rebecca-the-Original (Never under any circumstances to be confused with my DJ name, The Original Rebecca) is arguably the most tragic character on a show rife with characters that make it their daily business to convince you that no, they are the most tragic, and the most hurt-feelinged, etc. Let’s examine the [...]

  How angry do you think Steve McQueen’s grandson was when he read the script for this week. Do you think he put down the script and was all “Wait, wait, wait, hold the goddamn phone – we’re having a motocycle episode and I’m not even in the SCENE? I AM STEVE MCQUEEN GRANDSON. I [...]

It’s Friday! Which means yesterday was Thursday! Which means that Vampire Diaries was on! Which means now I am recapping it! I am excited and nervous and gassy and scared and happy all at once! It is like I myself am a newly made vampire in transition! Or this guy!     I don’t think [...]

This is a recap. I’m going to say exactly what happened in the episode. So don’t be a tool bucket, read it, and then comment about how I ruin everything, okay? Because frankly, you have only yourself to blame.   The Vampire Diaries are back for season four, everyone, and I, like you all I’m [...]
