The Vampire Diaries and Other Stuff

I'm late (as per usual) but I got around to seeing this week's ep.

So... are we being kind and calling this an 'homage' to BtVS Season 4?  (Mixed with a bit of AtS crossover because Stefan's drowning is terribly similar to what happened to Angel).

On other shows...

Enjoyed Doctor Who. No deep thoughts, but I appreciate that Moffat likes to lighten the angst that became so prevalent with 10. So I enjoyed it.

And Boardwalk Empire: After last season's finale I swore never to watch the show again  (because 99% of the characters are repugnant). Still, I was incredibly bored last night with both OUAT and Revenge not playing, so I ended up watching the season finale... just in time to see the episode that kills the only character on the entire damn show that I cared anything about.

Literally, my watching the ep went like this:

Oh look, there's ______(1).   Hey, isn't that ______(2)...?    I wanted wanted those two to get together... Oh, they're together, now.  ______(1) is happy. OMG, ______ (1) smiled...

_______ (1)  totally going to die then, isn't he.

(5 minutes later)  Yep, he's dead.

I'll definitely not be watching next year. RIP only sympathetic character on that show.
