Vampire Diaries Review and Chat for Epis 15 & 16

I sat down to write last weeks review and chat, had it all written out and was looking for a pic to post with it, when I lost it all-- boo. So, i apologize if this post is not up to par, I can't find the notes I used last week-- However, let's get to the good stuff, our Salvatore Brothers are back in our weekly lives! woohoo!

Epi 15: A Few Good Men
Best Stefan Moment: This episode was lacking in hot Stefan moments I felt, but I think what it came down to was that Damon's naked torso scene was going to trump any Stefan moment in this episode! Can we say, HOLY CRAP! I actually really did say "HOLY CRAP!" When Damon walked onto my screen with that beautiful torso of his, so incredibly sexy.
I do have to say, however, that Stefan has such incredibly great little looks that he gives to Elena. My fave moment of his was when he spied Elena at the Auction, and gave her a wave from across the room-- it was a small moment, but one that made me say "ahhhh". Love him.

Best Damon Line: There were a ton of great lines from Damon this week (it really was a Damon episode). My fave:
"What can i do for you, I'm a barrel full of favors today. I might have found a purpose, how can I help people."

Biggest Surprise: Was obviously the fact that Alaric cannot be killed. I knew that ring was something special-- and now we know that he got it from Isobel-- Oh yes, and Isobel is a vampire and Elena's birth mother...SURPRISE!! Though I have to say, the biggest surprise for me, was the horrifically awful death scene with Trudy falling down the stairs-- that was just pitiful, I've come to expect better death scenes than that from this show.

Question for this Episode: Now that we know who Elena's mother is, do you think her biological father will come into play at all in the future?


Epi 16: There Goes The Neighborhood:

Hottest Stefan Moment: This whole episode. I kept think through out this epi, that Stefan really is the antithesis of Edward. I love, love, love Edward, but Stefan is slowly but surely creeping into his place. Just for the way that Stefan is with Matt-- it was refreshing to see a guy not jealous or threatened by a past boyfriend, but Stefan is actually very understanding towards Matt-- People have claimed Edward to be the perfect guy/vamp-- but really it is Stefan Salvatore that is the perfect guy/vamp in my book.

Best Damon line: Last weeks episode was so full of hot Damon, so I'm going to say that it is ok, that this epi lacked in Damon moments. Pretty much he just got his ass kicked (and eyes gouged) and then got drunk...not much hotness in this epi. We pretty much just learned that our Vamps are not the toughest vamps out there anymore. Anna's mother can kick ass. Best Line:
"There is no way in hell I am going to play your little minon."

Surprises and such: We've now learned that all the vamps escaped the Tomb and are learning to text in a house in the woods. We know that Anna's mother wants to reclaim Mystic Falls, Damon thinks that this sounds like a ridiculous idea, it is no longer the 1800's after all. What kind of domination is she planning?
Jeremy has it in his head that he wants to be turned-- is this because he thinks that Vicky is still a vamp? Does he like Anna at all in a "more than friends" way? What are your thoughts and observations?
