In the wake of the new season, Katherine is trying to survive as a human and a shocking Salvatore secret. Meanwhile a refreshed Elena professes her love to Damon with no string attached.
The season five premiere of The Vampire Diaries was one of the best we've seen in a while. I like the direction that the series is going in, and look forward to being surprised in upcoming episodes.
The Vampire Diaries Season 5 has a fresh feel to it, with plenty of new territory to mine at Whitmore, Delena as a certified couple and Silas as a fun, threatening villain.
Yes, this wasn't necessarily a perfect episode of The Vampire Diaries but it feels like the perfect introduction to a season that looks to be filled with changing character dynamics and ever-shifting alliances.
