The Hunger: Stefan, you have a drinking problem



To be honest, when I first started watching this episode I was thinking
"What is wrong with drinking human blood"
I mean...your a vampire.
Your in the middle of a kind-of war and human blood makes you the strongest.
I didn't really see a problem with that.
However, Damon and Stefan are two vastly different characters.
Damon is uncontrollable, but in a way that makes you think "Thats classic Damon, breaking people's necks without a second thought" (We'll get back to this)
Stefan, on the other hand, had self-restraint.
Now he has a serious lack of self restraint and its eating away at him.
He not only craves human blood, he needs it.
I say this sparingly because his need is not dire, but it is torturous.
He said his skin feels like its burning, which in my mind seems sadistic to try and keep yourself from drinking human blood.
The only catch is, Elena is pretty human.
Being around her is going to begin to be a chore, as he tries to separate "Elena his girlfriend" from "Elena a human with blood".

Which sucks.
And, as I predicted, I have a feeling Damon is going to swoop in for the kill seeing as he is now the mature Salvatore brother.
Of course Elena "loves" Stefan, but I wonder how long she can "love" him after he is vying for the blood inside her veins.
Poor Stefan, he needs rehab.


So what actually happened in the episode?

Uncle John Gilbert returns to town which means trouble for the Salvatore brothers, even though Damon is the only one aware of it.
Seeing as he is now the "mature" brother, at the kick off party in Mystic Falls, John Gilbert reveals that he knows about Damon and about the Tomb so Damon breaks his neck.
Rather quick, and unexpectedly.
Damon is also getting in cozy with the History teacher Alaric since their "break out Stefan mission" last week.
Not too cozy though, just not "kill on sight."
When John Gilbert comes back to life, Damon realizes he was wearing the same ring Alaric was.
Gilbert inherited it, but is wearing his brother's ring, while he gave his to Isobel who in turn gave her's to Alaric.
Yea, this is complicated (not really...)

Anyway,
Stefan gets drunk at the kick off in order to keep his blood thirst to a minimum, but he is in actuality just acting like a drunken fool-compelling people, dancing with Matt's mom- and Elena is worried.
What else is new.
Stefan almost sucks the blood of some not so innocent rabble-rouser in the parking lot but controls himself, just barely.

Jeremy and Elena had some much needed bonding time, she told him she was adopted.
But she didn't tell him about Vicki.
So, Jeremy-realizing someone must have buried Vicki's body- goes through Elena's diary.
Side note: I forgot all about her diary, which is weird because this is "Vampire Diaries"
I remeber when we would see clips of Elena and Stefan writing in their diaries...not so much anymore.
Anyway, now Jeremy knows everything, but Elena does not know that he knows what she thinks he is trying to figure out.
Now that is complicated.
Maybe Elena should have just been honest with him.
Honesty is the best policy after all.

This episode was nothing compared to last weeks, which was freakin sweet.
But, Damon never ceases to amaze me.

I really think he and Elena are going to share an intimate moment, more intimate than him going through her bra drawer.

A Damon line to finish us off:
“Do you wanna hear the bad news or the really bad news? Do you want to hear how the council is back in vampire mode or how I just killed Uncle John Gilbert?" as he walks away with a smile.
You have to love ruthlessness in a character like his.

Glee is coming up next.
I will probably write it as im sitting in psychology with my head against the wall.
I actually do that btw.
It should be up by tonight, but it was awesome and I will tell you why.
