The Vampire Diaries 4.15 Review: Stand By Me


I was highly anticipating Silas' awakening and Katherine's return and while I was a little annoyed The Vampire Diaries slowed down the progression of its major arc during this episode it was understandable that the show took a break for the characters to mourn Jeremy. Elena's denial was painful to endure in the first part of the episode, as was Stefan and Damon's tip-toeing about confronting her straight on about Jeremy's death. When she finally came to the realisation though her reaction was entertaining and Damon's decision to turn off her humanity, while it was just another quick fix, will no doubt provide an interesting change in the Elena, Stefan, Damon love-triangle. Burning down her house, too, will provide a fresh setting for the show. Every character’s ability to leave the island at their will was logistically impossible, but at least Rebekah's discovery that Shane was still on the island, revealing that Silas is posing as him back in Mystic Falls was a thrilling twist. Bonnie's infatuation with bringing Jeremy back is just annoying, despite having her be bad providing cheap thrills. The ability in which Shane a.k.a Silas was able to convince her was not very believable and I hope Bonnie's logic in helping him is further developed, but I doubt it.

Rating: 3/5
