The Vampire Diaries Marathon Promo Promises Thrills

It was pretty great seeing all our favourite characters back in action in last night'sVampire Diaries. But do you hear that beep-beep-beeping noise? That's a garbage truck backing up to pick up last night's storylines, because yuck. Sorry, I don't mean to be the chocolate pudding in your guest bed, but I was pretty underwhelmed by this episode. Characters did stupid things for no reason, very little actually happened, and many story elements just flat-out didn't make sense. The problems were especially glaring in light of this season's recent hot streak. Maybe someone forgot to write the episode and the actors had to wing it? I dunno.
