Sorry for the delay on this one, guys. Life sometimes just doesn't let us stop to do things like edit or even record. We're all out here doing our best, so we appreciate your patience. This is the one where Elena shuts off her humanity and burns her house down. Krista has some questions about the logic behind the burning of the house, and we both h…

Strap in for some bananapants theories from Krista on what happens next! Will she be close to the mark, or is this another raptors in the hatch situation?By UNspoiled! Network

Listen as we compare this episode to that other show we covered with a magic island and Ian Somerhalder! Namaste!By UNspoiled! Network

This one actually surprised Krista, and all of us, really, because no one thought they'd pull off their plan to kill Kol! That's two Original vampires our gang has managed to kill, in two of the only plots they've concocted to actually go as planned. Plus, they've got Klaus trapped, and Jeremy's tattoo map complete, so seemingly all of the pieces t…

We're back! Thank you for your patience as we dealt with illness, work responsibilities, and the passing of a person close to one of us. And, you know, the Christmas holiday. We're glad things are settling back in so we can return to Mystic Falls! In this episode, Bonnie is boring, Elena is dumb, Damon is compelled, and Stefan is full of snarky goo…

In this episode, thanks to Rebekah's mean girl antics, a lot of truths are revealed. Not that Stefan is willing to believe what Elena is saying even though she's compelled to tell the truth. It's exhausting. But having Rebekah back is fun.By UNspoiled! Network

It's Christmas time in Mystic Falls, and you know what that means! That's right, a whole lotta murder! Tis the season for lies, plots, stupidity, rage, tantrums, getting all into someone's business when it's not your place, deciding what's right for other people when it's not your choice, and beautifully scored massacres. Happy Holidays! 😃…

It's flashback time! We go back to the 1940's New Orleans, when Damon managed to have another vampire sired to him. This one, though, might be a lot dumb, because she actually takes everything he says literally. If someone told me to count all the bricks in all of New Orleans, I'd tell them to fuck off, frankly. In the present we have girl's night …

And so it's revealed that Elena is sired to Damon. Maybe now Stefan will stop trying to do what he thinks she needs and...who are we kidding? He's going to keep trying to cure her so he can like her again. Krista is very mad at him. A note on the music at the end: I always pick a song used in the episode we're covering. This time, there was a strin…

Elena has some hallucinations, and later makes some revelations to Stefan which leads to their inevitable break up. Also, Jeremy triggers his Hunter status by killing a hybrid to save Elena, which also triggers Caroline and Tyler to break up...maybe. Also: Professor Shane sucks. We hate him.By UNspoiled! Network

Sorry this went up late. We had so little to say about it that I forgot to post it. Whoops. In this episode, Elena kills someone and now we're all going to have to deal with that.By UNspoiled! Network

We learn more about The Five in a series of flashbacks where Jaime is very happy to see Elijah and Krista feels very bad for Rebekah. The girl just can't catch a break. Also, we meet creepy Professor Shane, who sucks.By UNspoiled! Network

In which Elena is unbearable, but let's focus on what's good: Damon teaming up with all the random people he hates! Jeremy, Klaus, and even an invite to Tyler. It's pretty delightful.By UNspoiled! Network

Elena can't keep blood down. Bonnie is struggling with her magic. There's a rude as fuck vampire hunter in town, with a mysterious tattoo that only Jeremy (so far) can see. The funeral for Pastor Young and the 11 other people he killed is interrupted by said hunter - like I said: RUDE - and Tyler is shot in front of everyone. Stefan decides to have…

We did it, y'all! We have arrived in Season 4, with all of its Elena-as-a-vampire glory despite Bonnie almost killing herself and Stefan's uncharacteristic Pollyanna hopefulness. What does this new development mean for her recent decision to pick Stefan over Damon now that she has remembered what he compelled her to forget? How will it affect her f…

We did it, you guys! We made it through Season 3! And while we have to say goodbye to Ric, we get to say hello to vampire Elena! I mean, yes, yes, she hasn't made the transition yet, but what are the odds that she doesn't? And, lucky for Krista, we don't have to wait three months to find out what happens!…

I apologize for getting this up so late; sometimes life just gets hectic. Join us anyway, as we discuss Klaus's panther-like pacing, Ric being a complete dick, Jeremy kinda dying again, and the Salvatores and Bonnie calling an audible switcheroo on the plan to take Ric down but instead targeting Klaus.…

Thanks, we hate it.By UNspoiled! Network

Otherwise known as the one with The Kiss. The whole series has been building towards this moment, and it doesn't disappoint. But, while Damon and Elena are making out in Colorado, Stefan is trying not to kill Ric while he attempts to get the location of the remaining White Oak Stake from Ric's evil alter ego. Caroline and Tyler reunite, but their b…

It's funny, we thought we'd have a lot to say about this one, but it turns out there isn't a whole lot to dig into. It's pretty straight forward: a plan to kill an Original in order to kill all of the Originals is made, it is thwarted by multiple circumstances, a new obstacle is revealed. But, at least Krista got her montage...kind of.…

Neither of us are happy about what is happening to Ric. Krista is also mad at Stefan, but you'll have to listen to know why.By UNspoiled! Network

It's debauchery all around with Damon and Stefan reminiscing about the time in 1912 when they met a woman vampire boxer named Sage during a time when members of the founding families were being murdered. They also murdered some other members of the founding families, but that's unrelated. Oh, and Damon brought out the true ripper in Stefan. Meanwhi…

As promised! We're back, and jumping right in where we left off! We've got a captured Elena, an angry Elijah, a vengeful Rebekah, a smitten Klaus, a chaotic evil Kol, a Finn, and a Salvatore brothers team up that leads to a mommy turned vamp. Oh, and Meredith shoots Ric. It's great to be in Mystic Falls again!…

Psst! We have a little secret for you: we're back!By UNspoiled! Network

We wanted to give you guys an idea of what's going on with us, and why we've had to take an unplanned hiatus. We will be back as soon as we can, and we hope you stick with us. We love this show, and we love you guys. Always and Forever!By UNspoiled! Network

We are not happy about this stuff with Alaric. He needs to stop getting hurt, and killed, and his ring needs to start working at full strength or whatever because this is not ok! And who ever is trying to frame him, or maybe frame Elena, needs to STOP IT! Meanwhile, we have Original Witch Esther using Elena's doppelganger blood to do a spell that b…

Stefan and Klaus's game of Who's the Bigger Villain continues, and puts the lives of those we love at stake (though, not at a White Oak Stake): Stefan threatens to drive Elena off the bridge where her parents died after force feeding her his blood, and Tyler bites Caroline, infecting her with werewolf...venom? saliva? toxin? I don't know the specif…

We start with the almost foolproof plan to kill Klaus using his father, Mikael, as bait; Katherine subbing in for Elena; and the only known White Oak Stake, but Klaus has contingencies in play. If he dies, his new crew of Hybrids will kill Damon. So, Stefan saves Klaus, gets his compulsion removed, and steals Klaus's coffins of Originals. But what'…

It's a ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost world. Some are great - hi Mason! - and some are just as awful now as they were before - STFU Frederick. But it all leads to finding some cave paintings on the Lockwood property, and a little more of the Originals' history. Their dad is terrible. And now he's on his way to Mystic Falls.…

We begin with Senior Prank Night, where our incoming seniors are finally able to do dumb shit like put mouse traps all over the floor of a classroom, TP the pool, and superglue Alaric's desk shut. Or so they think. They are interrupted by the return of Klaus, and he wastes no time forcing Tyler into potential Hybridism, forcing Bonnie to find out w…

Rebekah has arrived, and she does not disappoint. We flash back to the 1920's, where we learn about Stefan's Ripper days in Chicago, and how he was entangled with Klaus and Rebekah at the time. In the present day, Klaus undaggers his sister in order to get info from a very old, yet very young, witch named Gloria. That doesn't go so well since Kathe…

Here we are in Season 3, and Stefan has gone off the rails it seems. He's massacring women, torturing a werewolf, and basically doing everything Klaus tells him to. Klaus isn't to blame for what Stefan does to Andie though. That's all Stefan. Meanwhile, Jeremy is seeing ghosts, Tyler and Caroline finally hook up, and Carol Lockwood has been pretty …

Everything is terrible. Jenna is a vampire. Klaus' ritual happens. Jenna dies. Elena dies, temporarily. John dies...well, we're not so upset about that in the long run, but it did make us a little sad in the moment. Jeremy dies, and is resurrected by Bonnie. Matt breaks up with Caroline. Elijah's betrayal was rewarded with a dagger to the heart. St…

It's official: the worst thing has happened. Aunt Jenna, sweet, innocent Aunt Jenna, has been killed. Technically. She's in transition and it remains to be seen what choice she makes. And it's all so Klaus can break the curse that was put on him and him alone: that's right, kids, The Sun and the Moon Curse is just a big lie that Klaus has been tell…

Isobel is back, and Katherine does exactly what we expected and moves on to what she thinks is the better option. She's wrong, because Isobel set her up and handed her over to Klaus, and then dies in front of Elena. And speaking of Klaus, he's apparently a body snatcher as well as the oldest vampire in existence, because he's taken up shop in Alari…

So, a lot happens in these episodes. Elena learns a bit about Stefan's past, which gives us more Lexi; everyone learns that vampires can't use the white oak ash and dagger to kill an Original without dying themselves, but humans can wield it; Alaric does so, and Elijah is "dead" as long as the dagger stays in. This leads to Katherine being able to …

It seems the show may feel the way we do and wanted to wrap up this werewolf nonsense quickly because by the end of these episodes most of them are missing their hearts. Before that happens, though, they torture both Caroline and Damon, try to kidnap Elena while she and Stefan are trying to have a weekend away from all of this mess, and try to turn…

Sorry this is going up a day late. I had a busy week and didn't have time to edit until this morning. Hopefully it's worth the wait! In these episodes, we learn a lot about what happens when a werewolf bites a vampire, and to our dismay it comes at the cost of losing Rose. We love Rose. We already miss Rose. Meanwhile, Stefan spends some time in th…

In these episodes we learn about how Katherine went from exiled Bulgarian Katerina to the Katherine Pierce that we know, and it entails an unwed teenage birth, banishment from her family, an aristocrat named Klaus, and her determination to not be used as a sacrifice for the breaking of a curse because she's The Petrova Doppelganger (version 1). The…

We came so close to not having an episode to post this week because of unexpected recording issues, but Krista saved the day, so here you go, guys! We see the gang orchestrate a near perfect plan that ended with Katherine in the tomb, despite her many contingencies. Unfortunately, one of those contingencies was Sarah, whose compulsion kicked in whe…

And so we say a very early goodbye to Mason Lockwood. Damon started a war with him, and while Mason had the upper hand momentarily, in the end he was no match for the Salvatores. Caught in the crossfire is Liz Forbes, who learns not only that her friend and confidant Damon is a vampire, but that her daughter is as well. She initially tries to shun …

First, we have a big werewolf info dump where we learn that lycanthropy is something in the DNA, so it passes among family lines; werewolf bites are fatal to vampires and so the vampires have been killing off the wolves for centuries, leaving them almost extinct; and one would have to kill to trigger the curse. Stefan and Caroline come close to lea…

Katherine Pierce has arrived and she's wasting no time wreaking havoc. She isn't successful in killing John, but she doesn't let that get her down. She makes her presence known to both Salvatore brothers, introduces herself to Bonnie, and sends a message by KILLING CAROLINE. But don't worry. Our Miss Mystic Falls completes the transition and become…

And here we are at the season 1 finale! We officially meet Isobel, who is awesome and terrible all at once; the truth about who Elena's birth father is is revealed; Bonnie pretends to unspell the magic that makes Jonathan Gilbert's device work, which is later used against the vampires - and possible werewolves - of Mystic Falls; Tyler crashes his c…

Hi guys! We're back! Krista and I took a bit of a hiatus because I was going to visit family, and then she was coming to Atlanta to go to DragonCon (and to see me!), so that part was scheduled. Unfortunately, we both ended up getting sick - I got sick before AND after my vacation! - so it extended our break a little bit. But we're good, we're on th…

Stefan, Stefan, Stefan. What are you doing, man? Not only is he lying to everyone around him, but he seems to be lying to himself. And he's super gross when Kelly is injured. He needs to get his shit under control, but it doesn't look like that's happening, yet. Meanwhile, we have the inception of what could be the greatest buddy duo in the history…

So, we've got a lot of poor decisions being made in these episodes. Jenna figures out who Isobel is. Alaric confirms that Isobel was his wife. Damon confirms he turned her into a vampire. Elena goes looking for her alone. A couple people die because of this. Matt spends a double date with Caroline, Elena, and Stefan reminiscing about his time with …

These episodes are all about the vampires in the tomb. Damon wants to open it to get Katherine out. Anna wants to open it to get her mother, Pearl out. Stefan and Damon both remember back to 1864 when their father was part of the group of Founders that captured both of them. Things aren't exactly as they seem, though, and there are tragic results t…

Hey guys, guess what! There are more new vampires in town...or old vampires? Either way, there are vampires that aren't Stefan or Damon and they're after all kinds of things that lead to Elena. We also meet Bree, played by the impeccable Gina Torres, an old friend of Damon's. Typically, being an old friend doesn't keep her safe, though. We hardly k…

History is all over these episodes, from the new AWESOME History teacher Alaric Saltzman to Elena seeing a picture of Katherine and realizing that they look exactly alike. She doesn't take it well and ends up crashing her car after hitting a vampire Krista likes to call Twisty Man. We don't get a lot of answers in these two episodes, but we are ask…
