  • Mystic Falls Survival Guide
    Welcome to Mystic Falls! As you’ve undoubtedly realized, this part of Virginia is home to some of the most gorgeous landscape in America. From our lush forests to our eponymous falls, the stunning scenery is sure to draw you in.
    While we think there’s no better place to raise a family, like every other town, Mystic Falls has its quirks. We’re offering new residents this handy tip guide to ensure their stay is fun, safe, and prolonged. We know you’ll “fall” for our town!
    Don’t travel alone at night, even by car
    Basically, just don’t travel anywhere after dark, unless you’re trained in many deadly arts. (Especially, and we can’t emphasize this enough, during full moons.) It’s not that the crime rate is high here; there just happen to be a lot of vicious, wild animals who aren’t afraid of humans and who seem to wander freely about town. Once we’ve elected a new Town Council, they’ll certainly look into the matter, and we are always in need of volunteers to patrol the forest.
    Keep a close eye on your children
    For some reason, the youths in Mystic Falls are a rambunctious bunch. Like most American teenagers, they love a good football game, but they also follow it up with some real ragers in the woods. Remember what we said about the woods? Even a clearing packed with teenagers won’t keep the kids from wandering away and falling down a ravine or something. In fact, even a school-sponsored event like a dance can spell disaster for your teen. Have you considered homeschooling?
    Consider homeschooling
    We’ll be honest: Our teachers are not exactly Chilton Prep-caliber educators. Some keep inappropriately titled files on students who have been having problems at home, while others have close, personal relationships with certain members of their classes and completely ignore others. The MFHS staff is a whimsical bunch; they tend to leave without any notice, and they rarely send postcards after they’re gone. Perhaps this is why some of Mystic Falls High School’s students barely bother to attend class at all. If you don’t expect your child to get into a decent four-year college, then our school might be just the place for him or her!

  • Take up horticulture
    Although native to this region, vervain no longer grows wild in Mystic Falls. It’s truly a shame, because the delicate purple blossoms are both aromatic and eye-catching. We encourage all residents to keep the lovely plant in their homes, and in fact, on their person at all times. It makes a lovely perfume.
    Get fit
    There’s absolutely no drawback to being able to run very fast for long distances. But cardio isn’t really enough. Lift weights and train yourself in boxing and mixed martial arts. And even if you’re a pacifist, there’s nothing wrong with learning to defend yourself with deadly weapons. 
    The dating game sucks
    While we’ve mentioned the beauty of the natural landscape, the human scenery in Mystic Falls is nothing to scoff at either. But we can’t stress enough that for your own protection, stick to the average-looking residents of Mystic Falls when you want a date. If someone looks like they could be an actor, model, or the like, just walk away. Or if you must, make out with them at the bar in the Mystic Grill, but do not leave with them or invite them into your home.
    Go out to have fun
    It seems contradictory to tell you not to go out and not to invite anyone into your home ever, but after you’ve lived here for awhile (provided you make it that long), you’ll realize all the socializing takes place during daylight at the Mystic Grill. There are probably other establishments in town; we don’t know. Maybe you should check out some of them, considering the clientele that frequents the Grill. We’re sure the library would be happy to accommodate your book club, the community center could host your Scrabble night, and any of the several restaurants would make an excellent locale for a birthday party. Anything is better than inviting strangers, or even people you think you know, love, and trust, into your home.
    Once again, welcome to Mystic Falls. If you follow these simple rules, we can almost guarantee you months of happiness and well-being in your new home.

    Review of The Vampire Diaries S4. Ep15: Stand By Me

     

    This had to be the most heartbreaking episode of the series.  Nina deserves an Oscar for her acting.  You could see and feel Elena’s pain, and when she flipped the switch, you could see the light go out in her eyes, as if she died along with Jeremy.  Burning down the Gilbert house, with all of Elena’s possessions, her childhood memories,  and every reminder of the family that she’s lost seems to be a symbol of her finally accepting the fact that she’s possibly going to be a vampire forever, and that she’s ready to begin a new chapter in her life. Burning Jer’s body in the house, that will be up for some debate for a while. Elena needed to flip the switch, whether Damon used the sire bond to make her, or she did it on her own, he grief would have consumed her totally and irreversibly.  It will be both fun and interesting to see how she’s going to act now. Will she become Kat 2.0? At least we know that the triangle will be on hold until she turns her humanity back on.  It was also heartbreaking to see Matt break down, losing yet another friend himself.

    Meanwhile…….

    What kid of havoc is Silas (In the form of Prof Shane)  going to wreck? And is Bonnie going to be able to realize she’s been   had?

    We now know how Katherine knew about the cure: Hayley was working for her. Perhaps this is the reason Klaus is leaving and heading to New Orleans.

    Is Tyler coming back?

    Next episode airing on March 14: Elena eats the competition

    Flipping The Switch?

     

    Do you think that Elena will flip the switch on her emotions because of her anguish at losing Jeremy?  He was her only remaining family, and her only reason for maintaining her humanity.  If she does, hopefully the rest of the Mystic Falls Gang will be able to bring her back from the edge before she  possibly goes ripper!

    Review Of TVD s4. ep14: Down The Rabbit Hole

     

    This Ep Can Be Summed Up In A Few Words:

     

    Heartbreak for Caroline And Tyler

    Heartbreak that there is only 1 dose of  the cure

    Heartbreak when Elena finds out what happened to Jeremy

    And last but not least:

    SHEEESSSSSSSS BAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

    Looks like Elena and the boys are gonna be up for a little Kat hunting in the upcoming episodes!

     

    Observations:

    If Silas could snap Jer’s neck while still mostly fossilized, he’s probably gonna be one bad ass when he’s fully recovered!

    So much for that alliance between Rebekah, Stefan, and Elena

    Will Jer’s death (?)  cause Elena to flip the switch on her emotions?  Will this being her and   Damon even closer?

    How did Kat know about the cure?  We can only guess she’s been lurking in the shadows of Mystic Falls for the past season and a half!

    What happened to the scene of Tyler  hovering over an unconscious Klaus?

    What is gonna happen to Vaughn?  How  about Prof. Shane?

    Next week: Elena loses it

    Review Of TVD S4.ep13: Into The Wild

     

     

    Uh Oh!  Looks like a bump in the road to Delena!

    Stefan and Rebekah: You 2 make a nice couple, keep it up!

    Rebakah: We feel for ya, Babe:  We don’t blame you for being upset about what the MFG has done to you.

    Shane: The Professor is out…of his mind!

    Bonnie:  Bingo to those who said you were a descendant of Quetsia!

    Bonnie/Jeremy: Don’t you think she took her time running her hand over the mark?

    Klaus/Tyler/Caroline:  Nothing says love like biting the woman you proclaim your love for, knowing that your hybrid bite could be fatal to her, then waiting till she’s almost dead before giving her your blood to heal her. Smooth move, Klaus!  We were hoping for some hybrid on   hybrid fighting, but maybe next ep!

    Observations:

    Elena, maybe you could have kept the super stake

    Vaughn must have a complete mark, since Damon saw it

    Next week:  Damon Vs. Vaughn, who will come out on top?

    10 Things To Do In Bon Temps Before The World Ends-Courtesy of the Vault

     

     

    1. Head to Bon Temps’ premiere bar and eatery, Merlotte’s. As proprietor Sam Merlotte has pointed out, a lot of people get murdered there, so it’s a good thing for him that the town doesn’t have too many bar options. You can sample Merlotte’s old style Southern cooking, courtesy of head chef Lafayette, and sous chef Terry Bellefleur. While you’re enjoying your cheeseburger with AIDS, why not have a beer with Hoyt’s road crew? And the flat screen TVs make this bar a great place to watch rolling news coverage of the coming apocalypse.

    2. Go and hang out at resident Vampire King William Compton’s classy antebellum mansion. Please note: you might want to give him a spongebath if he’s in Billith mode. If you’re a gamer, then how about playing some Wii and X-Box 360 with him and Jessica (he favours Wii Golf, while she does a mean Cherry Bomb on Rock Band). Or if you ask nicely, King Bill might show you his jazz piano. And when the end of the world does come, he’s got a handy nuclear bunker beneath his home that you could hide out in.

    3. Head over to Lafayette’s place. The end of the world is nigh, so now is the perfect time to try a V trip for the first time. Or if the ultimate psychedelic experience is not your bag, you could just smoke a bong and try on some of his frocks.

    4. If you’re on the guestlist (i.e. not a vampire), you could find yourself in secret fairy strip joint Hot Wings. A lapdance from a fairy is one you’ll never forget! If they take a shine to you, you could find yourself in the fairy realm, which will prove handy should a planet collide with the Earth.

    5. Check out one of the barbeques that the local werewolf pack holds. While there you can eat some meat (don’t worry, they only eat their dead relatives raw), play fetch with adorable werewolf cub Emma, and hopefully see some young alpha wolves wrestling. If you get drunk, Alcide will be happy to carry you home.

    6. It’s been a while since Bon Temps had its last Maenad orgy, and surely one to celebrate the apocalypse will be the party to end all parties. There will be epic fruit, endless pot, and if you’re really lucky, the glorious sight of a tree made out of rotting meat. A word of warning though: make sure everyone’s left their black contact lenses at home this time.

    7. Take a short drive to neighbouring town Shreveport, home to the South’s number one Vampire nightclub, Fangtasia. There’s industrial metal on the jukebox, poledancers, and plenty of opportunities to lose your fangbanging cherry. While here, if you’re easy on the eye, proprietor and local vampire sheriff Eric Northman might take a shine to you and let you sit on his knee on his throne. Hell, maybe he’ll let you swing his Viking sword too.

    8. Hook up with Eric’s sardonic vampire lieutenant Pam. Raid her closet (it did Tara no end of favours), have a TruBlood cocktail, and bitch about Sookie’s precious fairy vagina. She might even let you check out her fluffy pink coffin.

    9. Be sure to visit the Bon Temps cemetery, a historical burial ground dating back to before the Civil War. It’s also an excellent location in which to indulge in some very muddy graveyard sex.

    10. When the hijinx get out of hand, get yourself arrested by Bon Temps’ finest. You’re bound to enjoy getting handcuffed by Jason in his cop uniform. If you aren’t too much of a troublemaker, he might do some handstand push-ups to keep you entertained while you’re in your cell.

    Review Of The Vampire Diaries S4. Ep12: A View To A Kill

    RIP Kol., we hardly knew Ye buddy!  When/If Silas is unleashed, are you gonna be somewhere saying “I told you so”?
    Elena And Jeremy:  Badass tagteam!  How do you feel being the killers of thousands of vampires, even though your motives were good?
    Bonnie: Scary!  Showing your parents you aren’t a little girl any more, and  bringing 2 Originals to their knees in the same day!  We’re excited yet scared to see what the future  holds for you.
    Damon:  That hug Elena gave you should tell you that her love is real, sire bond or not.
    Stefan/Rebekah:  Love the chemistry between you 2, loved the 80’s music, maybe Bex isn’t the evil bitch everyone makes her out to be. All she wants is a normal  teenage life, although 1,000 years late.
    Jeremy: You could have just taken your shirt off, couldn’t you? That scene was priceless.
    Klaus:  We could feel your grief over Kol,  Will 3 days confinement to Elena's house cool you down?
    Observations:
    Guess Rudy had the town water supply Vervained after Rebekah showered and before Elena did dishes.
    Jeremy Mentioned Katherine: Is that a hint that the Divine Miss Petrova  will soon be making her triumphant return?
    Let’s give Damon the last word:
    HERE WE GO
    Next week, we hit the Island-is the cure there and is it real?

    What do you think Bill, having drank the blood of Lilith and being transformed into some sort of Vampire God  will be like in season 6?  Ruthless killer, or will he have his old personality, and  struggle to cope with his new powers?
