You’re Undead to Me
Episode Commentary: “You’re Undead to Me”
It’s the fifth installment of Vampire Diaries and things are beginning to get interesting. Damon’s in the basement, but is the wrong brother imprisoned? Stefan, the mysterious eternal teen vampire is still keeping things close to the vest. However, being that Damon is locked up he begins to open up about Catherine. He is finally connecting with Elena, but the vamp in him is desperate to come out at the slightest sight of blood.
Meanwhile Damon attempts to get out of his prison and feed by any means necessary. That means calling on his sycophant Caroline, but even that doesn’t seem to work. Then there’s the manifestation of Bonnie’s powers and Elena’s aunt who seems to be rekindling a relationship with the town’s creepy newscaster; who seems to be part of a conspiracy involving a watch that belongs to Elena’s family.
The drama is heating up much earlier than in previous episodes and that’s a good thing. After two encounters with an elderly black man who believes that he met Stefan in 1953 Elena begins digging into Stefan’s past. We also see that Damon is more dangerous when he’s weakened. It’s not quite the edge-of-your-seat action that it could be, but it’s definitely getting there.
The direction of Kevin Bray coupled with the writing of Sean Reycraft & Gabrielle Stanton makes this episode worthwhile viewing. Will Elena find out Stefan’s secret? Will Damon be able to leave the house? Will Jeremy dump Viki and stop getting high? Most of all why is Jasmine Guy playing a grandmother? Next week is sure to leave more questions than answers. You should tune in to find out.
