Secret Diaries Chat
Episode #4: Dangerous Valentine

I find it funny how people (not just here but everywhere) nitpick about the dresses and the dance. Does it really matter how they know it? This is a show about Vampires, Werewolves, Hybrids, witches and ghost. Suspending your disbelief about the little things are easy. I don’t know just… LOL

As for Vampire Diaries(and I’ll keep it short after my Secret Circle proclamation):

Honestly, I’m glad Elena told Damon where to stuff it. Do they not realize that every plan they’ve ever had had been blocked at every turn by Damon. The only plan he was on board with was the Homecoming one and that was cos Elena wasn’t involved. Katherine was(BTW Where the hell is she? I miss her). Its like he doesn’t realize Elena has been the central cause of every single supernatural happening in Mystic Falls since the day she was born. She has to be part of the solution or it’ll never work. All these people whining about Elena’s treatment of Damon are just Delena shippers with their nose out of joint.

Although I think she needs to stop grovelling with Stefan and kick him to the kerb. Elena just needs a clean break from the Salvatores in every romantic way for at least a full season. Or at least until they both get an attitude adjustment.

Am I the only one worried that the next ep will be a massive fake-out? It’ll be kind of stupid if they kill of Esther after only 2 eps. Besides, as the Original Witch, she’s a beast. I’d like to see anyone try and take her on. And they’re not going to kill off the Original Family(they might kill Finn/Kol permanently but the rest are fine). They’re not going to kill anyone else. So what’s going to happen? My money’s on fake-out(sadly).

I think its safe to assume that, at some point before the series ends(a long long way away hopefully), Elena will become a vampire(most likely against her will). In my mind’s eye, I can just picture this scene where Klaus, Damon and Stefan burst into a room and Katherine, Tatia and Elena all turn around with their hips cocked and fully vamp faces on and say “Hello boys”. ROFLMAO So James Bond. And then each of them have to fight one of the doppelgangers and they have no idea which one they’re fighting. Why they  would be fighting, I have no idea but the thought just makes me giggle with glee. I know it may never happen but a guy can dream, right? SOOOOOO COOOOOOOL!!!!!

Seeing Diana “free” is awesome she’s always so in control of every situation she represses her inner teenager so when she gets the chance to let loose i love to see it.

Magic differences, well no show has the same magical/supernatural lore from as far back as the 80s movie Teen Witch up until Charmed, True Blood, and even The Vampire Diaries magic is relative to the practioners environment and level of knowledge. Also, aside Charmed and The Craft you never see magic worked as a coven like you do in The Secret Circle; everyone had individual powers and could cast on their own and the Circle in the show needs each other to work their magic unlike in the book where there is no “binding” of collective power.  Its quite a hinderence having to rely on someone else to use your own gifts.

I dont feel Melissa is addicted at all.. I completely understand how she feels.  I lost my fiance last june and just the notion of having a moment of release is intoxicating.  Its easy to get lost in the need and want to be “free”.  I feel like if Melissa , Diana and Faye get into a normal teenage routine she will be able to have that release and not be so drawn to trying any and everything to make the pain go away.

there really isnt a dynamic to the circle anymore its 3(melissa fay diana) on 2(adam cassie) on 1(jake) and it is soooo realisitic.  They are maturing which is great because u see it physically now from the new direction the wadrobe and make up department is taking and emotionally they are all stronger.  Yes they still but heads but they are more cohesive than they have ever been at the moment.  I dont take issue with the fact that they arent practicing anymore…no one is making potions and no one is studying the book of shadows and with the threat of the demons , the witch hunters, the parents, john blackwell and the elders looming over their heads they are not prepared for anything.  This is why i think Cassie has really pushed Diana out of the leader role because no one is acting as concerned about the danger theyre in except for her and jake.  and everyone is looking to Cassie to use her solo dark magic to save them instead of  acknowledging that they are alll stronger as a circle and that combined with cassies dark magic makes them practically invincible.

Adam is annoying…Period. He’s so emotional that he’s going to be the potentional downfall/weak link of the circle every time.  He’s so invested in his love for Cassie now  that he leaves himself open to danger.  adam in the book is much more like jake as far as strength but has the emotional solidity that diana has…I cant wait to see if they develop the magical connection that they have sort of like Phoebe and Coupe from Charmed how phoebe could be transported to him with just her love, in the book Adam could always find Cassie when she really needed him. 

the medalillon… Ok if you follow magical lore…magic isnt a tangible thing, you  have to channel it whether its through your body, or through a talisman like the medallion or a wand like in harry potter.  Without a means of channeling the magic is just floating in the air.  Yes the physical “containment” unit is gone but that power hasnt been destroyed  no power can technically be destroyed its a part of nature.

Faye doesnt want Lee lets just get that out of the way.  Faye has never loved anyone except for Jake, theres a reason why shes only ever slept with him theres a reason why shes never even dated anyone other than him, they are too good together for them not to get together and yes they have a toxic give and take relationship Like Dawn and Charles except Jake is as much as in control and manipulative as Faye is.

I laughed so hard about this I was like ok have all of the parents just disappeared.  Clearly the children are the focus but come on Jane has been m.i.a. for weeks no, they are practically writing her off the show, we havent had contact with another elder since Diana’s grandmother, and the only living parents of the children  have mysteriously disappeared off the show.  This is very much like every other teen drama like Who is paying these bills, where are you getting money, um why havent child protective services been called yet lol.

Cassie has gotten so much more control over her magic.  She flung Jake across that pew with barely a glance at him.  apart of me thinks she could have drawn out the spirits of that witch coven that were in adam without making a grand scene by destroying the medallion.

Blackwell…ok this is the thing i love about the show…its sooo different from the books but it doesnt disappoint you because the storylines are no where near parallel to each other, its almost like a grand recollection from  the twins in the book. but i digress Blackwell , i hope he’s awesome as EVILLLL as he was in the books he was one of my favorite character the duality of john blackwell is awesome…thre always a notion that anyone truly evil can not love and any form of “love” they profess to feel is perverted and thats is john blackwell through and through… A master manipulator playing chess with the hearts and souls of the circle. 

Im loving the Show guys keep up the awwwwwwwwwesome work
