S402 is perfect television (+TrueBlood comparisons)
S4: The first real traction of who-does-she-want moments… S4E02 is particularly excellent, and has some of the best one liners.
- “Am I wearing my ‘I blew up the council’ T-shirt?”
- (After the punch) “What was that for?”…. “You know what.”
- “I miss you too, buddy.”
Those last two effectively deepen some key dynamics.
I recently rewatched TrueBlood and, after S4, it really loses the relational plots. It briefly tried to pull a similar love triangle, but failed (not enough build up… followed by a quick, boring resolution). So much potential (Eric is incredible casting; it would be fun to see him with Damon. The other TrueBlood casting, meh). I still really like it, but I kept thinking during TrueBlood S2-S3, that it was trying to do what TVD did so well in S4 (and really, throughout multiple seasons). Side note: TVD S4E03 shares some especially similar themes with TB, but these are mostly common vampire and romance story devices. TVD does them better, but I’ll take ‘em both.
Also, it’s wild how many supporting actors are in both series.
Anyway, if someone asked me for the essence of TVD, I think S4E02 would be a strong contender.
