The Vampire Diaries - We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes

Long story, buy the E-Book. - Damon to Jeremy after Jeremy resurrects thanks to the ring after being stabbed in the neck by Elena.

Yep, bring the vampires to this century, for sure.

Elena stabs Jeremy in the throat, believing he's hunter, Conor, at the very beginning. Connor had more to do in this episode than all his others combined!

Elena nearly killing Jeremy when she thought she was stabbing Connor, the vampire hunter she bit and snapped the neck of, haunting her psyche, attempting to convince her to kill herself. Elena needing to free herself of Connor gets help when Jeremy kills a hybrid of Klaus', almost leaping from the bridge where her parents crashed off of and died as the hallucinations were so intense and realistic (and convincing), thoughts of suicide felt like the right end to her existence as a killer.Klaus attempts to kidnap Elena until Connor's hallucination wore off, Tyler and Caroline working to get her out of a windowless room he had for her to stay as a temporary prison. Connor really preys on Elena's vulnerabilities in "We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes", even taking the form of her nemesis, Katherine, and mother. Before Jeremy killed a hybrid who had helped Elena escape Klaus' room for her, Elena's frequent hallucinations didn't stop. Connor is a constant throughout the episode, "We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes". Through these three 4th season episodes, Elena has to outlast Connor and his antagonizing presence to kill herself, deal with her feelings for Damon, keep away from her own brother when his urge to kill due to the hunter's curse became too difficult to resist, embrace her desires for Damon which culminates in lots of hot sex, break up with Stefan because she is "no longer the Elena that went over the bridge prior to Damon biting her", come to terms with her new life as a vampire, and appeal to Damon not to remove the sire...that her feelings for him, prior to the sire, were already there, just intensified after he bit her. So lots and lots of melodrama. 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
