Fire/Ice
So more Lee - which I like. Just because he's pretty. Although I still suspect that Faye's secret crush is really on Melissa.
More Cassie/Adam fuss - which I don't so much like. Thomas Dekker seems to be mostly acting by pursing his lips and I can't decide what is up with Adam asking his ex-girlfriend to tell his potential new girlfriend that it's okay that can they date. 'Cuz. Seriously? That's not a very nice thing to do to Diana. But the stuff with his father is good and I do like it when TSC pulls in the adults. Adam's emotional shrug when his dad announced that he hadn't had a drink "for a while" said way more than his puppy dog face Cassie-ward.
Cassie's thing with her dad and the fire has always had potential. Looks like we'll get more information on that next week. Which makes me more interested in next week's episode than this weeks episode. On the other hand, it means more Jake angst.
Oh. Jake. Who knows. Maybe he'll have a point after all.
I just can't get quite so worked up over this show. I didn't see the first season of the The Vampire Diaries until it was out on DVD, so it's hard to compare the learning curve here. By the time I did see some of the less successful first season episodes, I was hip deep in Katherine and Mason in season two. Perhaps this is just some of the grind up to the good bits. Like a roller coaster going up that first hill before the "whooosh."
