Fringe and Vampire Diaries

Okay, today I finally saw the recent Fringe and Vampire Diaries episodes (Over there Part 1 and Founder's Day respectively) First Fringe, it was awesome!!! Can't wait for the next episode! I felt sorta sorry for Peter's other side mom, I can't imagine losing a child for years since I am a child. Also, other side Olivia has brown hair...weird...Also it was sad when the last Cortexiphan children died when crossing over, a little trivia, these children appeared in earlier episodes :) here's a summary of the episode from wikipedia

Walter and Olivia discover that Peter has agreed to go back with his real father, the Walternate, back to his own dimension. An Observer leaves them a paper indicating Peter to be the major subject of a prophecy, which foretell him being the one responsible for the end of the world. In order to warn Peter of his impending role, the Fringe division work with Massive Dynamic to come up with a way to cross over. They come up with a plan to use Olivia's dimension-hopping ability by amplifying herself with three other Cortexiphan subjects who have activated their abilities (from previous episodes): Nick Lane, Sally Clark and James Heath. The team comprising of Walter, Olivia, Nick, Sally and Heath successfully head over the Other Side, but Heath dies shortly after arrival, while the rest manage to escape the alternate Fringe division when they used their technology to sense their arrival. It is revealed that Walternate is the Secretary for the Department of Defense on the Other Side. While Walter's team head to meet William Bell at Central Park, Peter reunites with his real mother. Walter's team is split up when they believe that Bell has betrayed their location and the alternate Fringe division attacks them. Nick and Sally are killed, but not before seriously burning the Fringe principal investigator, Lincoln Lee. Walter is shot and ends up in hospital. Olivia follows her alternate counterpart and encounters Bell, who insists he never betrayed them, and tells her that Walter is in trouble. Walternate is seen leaving with the final component of the device Peter will be a part of.

Now about Founder's Day, I can't believe they killed off Ana! Everyone Jeremy loves dies :( Also I'm sort of angry at Bonnie for betraying Elena and causing the death of all those supernatural people (werewolves and vampires) I feel sorry for Tyler's father, he was killed though he wasn't a vampy but a werewolf. Actually I'm not sure if the mayor died. Here's a summary from http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/05/14/the-vampire-diaries-founders-day-recap-season-finale/:

(S01E22) "It's Founder's Day. I'm here to eat cotton candy and steal your girl." - Damon to Stefan

After several weeks of preparations and events, Founder's Day has finally arrived in Mystic Falls and on 'The Vampire Diaries.' There are parades, floats, vampires, and one scheming uncle/dad who seems to think he has all the answers, now that he's got that device back.

Oh, and yes, some major shockers, too. My daughter saw it coming. Me? Not so much. But I can't wait to see what happens next season now.

Because I can't wait til the end of this review, let's talk about those shockers! First of all, I was half-skeptical and half-believing that the girl who kissed Damon at the end was Elena. Yes, she'd just assured and reassured Stefan that he was the one, the only one, and "I love you, Stefan." On the other hand, Damon is entirely too charming for any girl to resist for too long. Maybe, just maybe down the line, they might get together, but that day? After Elena told Stefan there was no way? Yeah, probably not.

So wowsers, Katherine is alive (well, sort of) and causing some major havoc, including chopping off John's ring-clad finger and stabbing him! Think he's dead? I don't. And did Damon look a little funny after that kiss? Wouldn't he have known it was Katherine and not Elena? Then again, he hasn't kissed Elena, and since she's the spitting image of Katherine, maybe he would think they kissed the same. Nah, I don't believe it.

I'm never actually sure who's really dead on this show, but yes, it appears that Anna is dead. There's already plenty of tension between Jeremy and Elena, but once he finds out that her father killed Anna, there will be lots more tension -- especially if he indeed turns all the way into a vampire (and how tragically fun is that storyline?).

In fact, I see Jeremy rebelling every which way next season. Yes, Elena may have been trying to protect him by having Damon erase his memories, but like Jeremy said, the emptiness was still there. Also, now he knows that Damon turned Vicki, and that Stefan killed her because "she was a threat to you and a threat to your sister." As a vampire, Jeremy could seek revenge on all the people and vampires he feels wronged him.

I also think there's going to be (even more) repercussions between Damon and Bonnie, now that they know she lied about de-activating the device. Yes, she cast another spell to douse the flames enough for Stefan to save Damon, but she's the one who put him there in the first place. She keeps saying Elena is her best friend, but I'm just not feeling it. Still, she does make an awesome witch.

I'm loving Damon more and more. It's hard to love a guy who's completely evil -- Eric on 'True Blood' and Spike on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' work because they have lovable qualities -- and Damon showed a lot of compassion in this episode. He told Jeremy that what he did to Vicki was wrong, that he wanted to save Anna as he helplessly watched her die, and that he'd erase Jeremy's memories if he wanted him to (he didn't). Damon definitely has a lot of redeeming qualities that a girl -- namely, Elena -- could find attractive.

So, was the mayor a werewolf, too, since both he and Tyler were affected by the device? Any predictions on what will happen next season? Still loving the Damon/Alaric duo. More please.

A few quotes:

"So I think you should stop with the flirty little comments and that eye thing you do." - Elena to Damon

Mayor Lockwood: "What are you doing here?"
Damon: "I'm a vampire. What's your excuse?"

"Life sucks either way, Jeremy. At least if you're a vampire, you don't have to feel bad if you don't want to." - Damon

"Elena is my best friend, and that's why I couldn't let you or Damon die. But if Damon spills one drop of innocent blood, I'll take him down, even if I have to take you with him." - Bonnie

Damon: I'm not a hero, Elena. I don't do good. It's not in me."
Elena/Katherine: "Maybe it is."
Damon: "No, that's reserved for my brother and you and Bonnie, even though she has every reason to hate me still."
