The Vampire Diaries – Who will die next?

I’m really thinking I should start keeping a body count tally, especially in light of Julie Plec’s tweet contest tonight (the answer’s eight, by the way, and flashbacks count!) It never ceases to amaze me at how dispensable human life … and vampire life … and werewolf life is on The Vampire Diaries. How can I say I love it without sounding like a complete sicko?

Katherine’s threat to Damon was my favorite death tonight: “Paralyzed from the waist down … and dead. The moonstone, Stefan.” And goodbye, Kelly from The Office.

But I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Sarah’s untimely death. Last week, I loved that Katherine’s “plan B” was having Matt in her back pocket. Little did we know that there was a “plan C.” We knew Tyler was going to change no matter what, but I love how Katherine is so devious and she really covers most of her bases. Except doesn’t she know that a vampire should never trust a witch?

Which leads me to the fact that Bonnie became less of a bitch this week. I think meeting her relative did her some good and maybe know she’ll accept the fact that she really needs to help out the vamps with the hearts. Not all vampires are created equal and I think she finally started to get that this week. And maybe when she gets some from Jeremy, she’ll turn all puppy dogs and roses.

Back to Katherine for one last thought — she knew someone was going to go after Elena, but is it because the person mistook Elena for Katherine, or is there something deeper going on here? Katherine actually told the truth, and I have to wonder if it was only to save herself from being sealed into the tomb or if she legitimately feared for Elena since we know Katherine has been running from someone … or something. The thing I love about this show is that it won’t be long before we find out. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse — are you taking notes?

This and that:

• I was a little disappointed that Elena bled when Katherine was injured simply because Lucy had cast a spell; I was thinking we were going to find out why the two are doppelgangers. There’s got to be something really cool there besides just the lineage.
• I’m not sure if that was product placement or not, what with all texting, but I’m not sure that planning a murder by text is good for business. Isn’t there a law about texting while murdering?
• I love how Damon just cut down Katherine and her dramatics over being trapped with the man who loved her too much and the one who didn’t love her enough: “And the evil slut vampire who only loved herself.” – Damon
• Do you think Caroline is going to reveal herself to Tyler? And what’s going to happen to cause a divide between the two, because you know there’s going to be a vampire-werewolf showdown before all is said and done.
