The Vampire Diaries - My Brother's Keeper

While Jeremy is dealing with that increasing urge to kill vampires -- including his own sister -- Elena has the whole issue with being sired to Damon, unable to resist her intense feelings for him. And, sure enough, Elena and Damon's passions "collide"...in bed. 

While Klaus eyes a romance with Carolyn, Carolyn, Tyler, and Haley are orchestrating a trick to fool him into believing their love triangle is real: in fact, Carolyn is still with Tyler, but Tyler and Haley need Klaus to believe Tyler and Carolyn are on the outs. When Klaus is not looking, Tyler is in the process of "breaking" his hybrid sires. Without the sires to do his bidding, Klaus would be weaker, but as this series always shows you, Klaus is quite often never weakened for long...he always finds a way to gain advantage of those not as strong as him. 

The Miss Mystic Falls Pageant once again has us in high school. We are four seasons in and still in high school. The show's current alternating stories are all adult melodramas playing out and a big ongoing angle in "My Brother's Keeper" is Caroline's conducting a pageant for Mystic Falls, with April Young, daughter of the pastor responsible for the explosion that killed council members, winning in her red dress, the dress Damon picked when she was in the process of choosing between red and blue with Caroline and Elena. This pageant does allow for Klaus to work his charms on Caroline even as she had continued to lie to him about her and Tyler's "issues". Tyler sees how Caroline responds to Klaus, the emerging jealousy quite obvious. Klaus, if anything, seems totally smitten with Caroline. 3/5

Just a fun little idea. A few keepsakes of the past.

Red Shoe Diaries - Safe Sex

 A rainy night in NYC, Joan Severance,  a fashion designer, is offered a ride in a taxi cab by fellow occupant, Stephen Bauer, who flirts with her, even providing his coat to "keep her warm" since her dress was damp and the night cold. Eventually the cab stops at Bauer's apartment complex, and he convinces Severance to come up to his flat. Eventually Bauer is seducing Severance, unable to resist her innermost desires and ready to just take him up on Tuesday and Thursday hookups, agreeing to nothing serious.  But can these "meetups and fuck" with no relationship talks continue or will real feelings and want for something more develop? When Severance's brother dies and she happens to spend the night, Bauer reiterates his displeasure in breaking the arrangement set up by them both. Zalman King's Red Shoe Diaries was, to me, a rather corny exercise in why so serious? softer-than-softcore Showtime Channel "entertainment". Rarely was I ever actuall

Wrapping up the Syfy Twilight Zone Marathon for New Year's Day 2023

So I did watch "King Nine Will Not Return", "The Man in the Bottle", "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" and "A Thing About Machines" during their live run Saturday, December 30, 2023. It was a rare deviation from watching the list of Syfy episodes as they were shown up until past Midnight after January 1st, 2024. I have fooled around with the idea of holding onto the Syfy episode list shown for the New Year's marathon and finishing it up this next weekend. It would be the first time I had recorded the entire Syfy episode marathon on the DVR (for YouTube TV) and watched a majority of it in order from start to finish if I decided to finish it this next weekend. I do admit that once the marathon is over it is like that excitement and nostalgic energy goes away. A little depression sets in actually. Since I was dealt with COVID during Christmas holidays, recovered and returned to myself, the Twilight Zone marathon was a big boost to my morale. S
